Rushing Holiday Business.

Nearly all the merchants in lola
report the holiday trade to be the
biggest they ever did here. Addi-
tisnal delivery wagons were put on
by the grocers and butchers and
bakers and additional clerks hired by
the dry goods stores and then it was
almost impossible at times to get
waited on. The express companies
did rushing business. w. A.
Cowan, of the Pacific Express COM
pany, says he thinks the business
this year was fully twice as heavy as
last year. The express and postal
companies sent out money orders
galore and the banks were kept busy
making drafts. lola people made
their friends share in their joyful
prosperity. The post-oflice although
prepared somewhat in advance for
the.big rush, ran out of money order
blanks and for a day or two were
completely busted In this line. All
of which makes the duty of the
chronicler of lola prosperity pleas

Clothing Stock Sacrificed.

OF all the closing out sales which
the State ever witnessed one which
took place at Yates Center Sunday and
Monday probably holds the record.
The stock was the finest in the town
and was owned by a man named
Sharits but had mortgage on it held
by Kuhn, Nathan & Fisher, of Chi
cago. On Saturday Sharits disap-
peared unexpectedly deserting his
wife and two sons. Being left with
out provision and knowing that the
creditors would take the store, the
boys sent out word that they would
sell the stock out at away below cost
and all day Sunday and Monday the
store was packed with people who
came for miles to get the bargains
The creditors were helpless as the
law cannot operate on Sunday ana
Monday was Christmas, a legal holi-
day. The building was packed and
the boys sold $4 shoes for 81, SIS suits
OF clothing for 50. So hats for 81, S12
overcoats for $4. Everything went at
the buyers own price and the rush
continued all the two days, the result
being that large part of the stock
was sold out.
Mr., II. W. Kitchen, of lola, sold
the stock of clothing to Sharits, and
acting on instructions from his house
he went to Yates Center tuesday
and the creditors took charge of the
wreck. 1t is a question whether they
will be able TO recover anything else.

and of course the variety of animals
was very great.
All the horses, however, learned the
game and enjoyed it. Indeed, it was
their interest in the sport that made it
dangerous, for often when a rider
would not see cit" coming, the horse
would, and at the familiar call would
dash for home regardless of low
boughs and trees close together. 1t
was a COMMON occurrence for a pony
to get home safe, but without his
mount, so common that it was a point
long unsettled whether this should
count safe or not. Sometimes we
would agree before a game that it
should, sometimes that it should not.
"It" had to be a good horseman, for
his horse, put on the alert by his
cautious movements, would listen and
watch, and at the slightest sound of
running hoofs would whirl and dart
off at full speed. Fences were taken by
horses with unready riders, creeks re-
ceived boys who could not keep up
with their horses, and brush and the
limbs of trees often kept them back,
suspended till help came.

NEW HIDE-AND-SEEK
WESTERN GAME FOR BOYS AND
PONIES.
Hard Runs and High Jumps-The In
terest That Horses Took in the Sport
Riders Often Left In Creeks or
Hanging from Boughs. v

One of the games boys played on
horseback in California in my day
was h~ide-ahd-seek. 1t was exciting
sport, says the New York Commercial
Advertiser. AS l recall incidents of
the game they seem to me now to have
Deen dangerous, but that is a mature
view, which never occurred to us then.
Our favorite place for the fun was on
the edge of a neglected park, with a
creek running through it, and another
crossed a field nearby. Both of these
were hard jumps, especially for some
Oh the ponies. But there were several
good jumps, five or six over three or
Tour board fences, two over hedges,
ana fallen trees were innumerable.
Inc great advantage of this place,
o"eVer was a perfectly straight road
along the side of the park. We meas

OF woods. Fol this distance there was
no obstacle except on one side, a fence
TOO huge to take. 1t was the home
Stretch to the line We drew with our
spurs across the road, and many were
the hot races down it.
Fol- the game was to pick a boy to
be it, Usually the fastest horse de-
clded that point. The boy who rode
him had to count 100 or 200 to give the
others time to scatter off into the
woods, across the creeks and down any
OF the many side roads, paths, trails
out Of sight. Since everything was
clear off east of the home mark, all the
riders went off to the west before they
left the main, straight road. After
that they could ride any distance in
any direction.
But they did not go far, for the pur-
pose of each boy was to get back
either undetected to the home mark, or
if seen, to ride across this line before

quilting of ribbon, gauze or lace. 1t Is
tied with short loops and ends that
come just owe the waist line. Over
the knot in the center there is fasten-
ed a miniature or other big fancy pin.
Often, to give a scarf effect, the piece
of gauze is arranged to outline the low
neck, having both sides finished with
a quilting to correspond with the bow.
But more often the bow is a separate
affair pinned on just at the bust. For
a slender figure this is very fetching,
but the plump, short-waisted woman
should not attempt it.

An old-school gentleman who lives in

sinia the torrents that pour down to
join the Nile are not so lightly
stemmed. Over n of these the Abys-
sinians, who have something like a
settled country and stable government,
have thrown the bridge. Unlike the
Brooklyn bridge or the suspension
bridge at Niagara, these Abyssinian

bands of steel. Instead they had only

after us, slipping along on his horse at
a walk, while he peered into the woods
and high brush to catch a glimpse of
boy or horse. When he saw one he
called the riders name and rode for
home, unless the fellow caught gave in
to save the horses wind. And if cit"
called a boy from a position between
home and the hiding place, this usually
happened. This wasn't easy to do.

such that the outs could work around,

Then when he was off the road beat

The care of pins and being able to
keep a supply on hand is something
which the average woman has so far
found very difficult to accomplish. The
new pin box is designed to obviate
this difficulty. 1t is nearly a foot
long and about five inches wide, and is
made of white metal or solid silver.
Inside it is lined with velvet and di-
vided into compartments for shell
hairpins, ordinary hairpins, safety
pins-in short, all kinds of pins. The
box is a beautiful for the
handsomest dressing table, and a great
boon to women.-New York Herald.
