the merchants and sWarms Of peonle
wended their way home In the after
noon with numerous packages OF
things for Christmas gifts. The
stores, which were crowded with
1 pretty and valuable goods appropriate
for holiday gifts, are left with but a
small stock on hand. There isenough,
however, to supply reasonable de-
mand for New Years gifts.
The kids are enjoying themselves
hugely-those that haven't the
stomach-ache. They are amused with
their toys and noisy in their amuse-
ments. As the novelty of the new
whistle, drum, fish horn and top
wears of, the sled and the skis supply
the means Of enjoyment in improy-
ing the use Of the scant snow. The
small boy can get great amount Of
amusement out OF the results OF a
snow storm.
1t was merry Christmas in this
city and the country tributary. Never
before were Christmas gifts so nu-
merously purchased. Everybody must
have been generously rememb ered.
AT the churches the children were
treated t" honbons, popcorn and other
dainties that tickle the youthful
palate. At their homes their hearts
were gladdened with more substantial
gifts. 1t was a season Of good cheer,
with good wishes FROM Living hearts.
If you need fur cat, come and
see US before buying and be convinced
that we can save you money.

Rev. I. j. Snodgrass, one Of Glen
woods old-time pastors, now stationed
at River Falls, occupied the M. E.
pulpit Sunday morning and evening,
large congregations turning out to
hear him. His sermons we're OF ex-
ceptional force and eloquence. Mr..
Snodgrass has become one of the
ablest preachers in the West Wiscon-
sin conference, and seems to grow In
eloquence and power of expression
with each passing year. Were it not
Tor his youthful heart and bearing,
1.-THE old man eloquent" would be no
misnOmer for him. Glenwood hopes
to hear him again in the near future.

The many people who knew Nellie
Nelson will be glad to learn that she
is, as ever, center from which good
comes. A friend says:
1.-THE friends Of Mrs. Nellie Nelson
Mott Of Menomonie, Wis, will be
pleased TO learn OF her growing inter
est in art. Besides doing work in the
art department Of the Stout Manual
Training School OF the city, she is
untiring in her efforts in that line as
private instructor and in order work,
having been very successful In each.
All this does not prevent her from
being at the head OF very pleasing
household, where she is as untiring In
her efforts TO be q good wife, mother
and hostess"
The new arteslan we'll is down
about 300 feet. Mr.. Apnis has not
been drilling for week, the city being
engaged in placing connections from
the power house to the we'll. The first
$50 feet Of the we'll is made with
l0-inch hole, into which is driven an
8-inch pipe, the pipe resting on the
shoulder at this depth where the di-
ameteT is reduced from 10 to inches.
About eight feet below the surface OF
the ground an 8-inch pipe is joined to
the well pipe which will be connected
with the pump to be placed in the
power house. A valve is to be placed
in the pipe TO regulate the flow OF
water, providing it rises above the
surface. 1t is expected that it will
be necessary to go 100 feet deeper to
secure the amount of water contem-
plated. At this time the water rises
TO within ten feet Of the surface, but
the supply has not been tested.
