Minister Wu's impression Of American
Women.

His E~xcellency, WI Ting-fang, the
Chinese Minister to this country, has
written for the Ladies Home Journal
an article embodying his impressions
and his opinion Of American women.
This remarkable diplomat, who made
himself so popular alike with the Gov
eminent and the people, is famed for
his frankness. He always says just
what he thinks and he usually says 1t
in a way not hard to understand. He
is a keen observer and his travels and
experience in the United States have
given him good opportunities for study
the American women.

GOOD OF THE TON.
A Word About the Holiday Season.

It is about the time Of year now
when nearly everybody is thinking Of
making a few Christmas presents
to friends and relatives, and the cues
ton naturally arises as to what these
presents will be, how much the pur-
chaser can afford TO pay and where he
can get suitable things for gifts. In
this connection the DISPATCH desires
to call the attention of its readers TO
the fact that all our town merchants
are receiving Christmas goods. and it
will be strange if among the lot you
cannot select Something that would be
appropriate for wife, husband, sister,
brother, mother, father or sweetheart.

Your home merchants build and i'm

rich outside sections and business en-
terprises who have no interest in

Of the expense Of our county govern
ment, and who, when once they re-
