The Saloon Lizard.

Naturalists tell of lizard found in
Arabian deserts which strikiugly re-
sembles the sand in color. On either
side of it's mouth is a fold of skin of
pale crimson hue. These folds can be
blown out until they look like small
red flower common in the desert. In
scots in quest of honey seek this
fower-looking object and are Instant
~ destroyed.
The tactics of the lizard and the sa-
loonist are much alike. The rumse Her
puts on a splendid exterior. He
makes his den as attractive as pos
sible to both young and old. No
place is more brilliant than bis.
Light, revelry, music-all are there.
"That's the place for a good time,''
says the young man. ''Life's honey
may be had there" says the old,
cheating himself with the same old lie
for the thousandth time. Too late
both discover that this seeming splen-
dor was but the fold on the lizard s
mouth-a decoy leading to death and
destruction. Seeking the sweets Of
life, they get instead the exceeding
bitter gall of death. No man who,
values his place and opportunity for
usefulness in the world will be en-.
trapped by the saloon lizard.-The.
Key stone Citizen in Minnesota ISSUE.

ages against the railroad company.

HIT BY The PASSENGER
Marrow Escape from Death by Pro-
hibttion Workers. Men
Saved by Jumping.

B. B. Haugen, the we'll known tenn
perance lecturer, and Messrs. Ager.
and Lunde, the state organizers of the
[. o. G. T., had q narrow escape from
death last Monday while driving from
Herman to Donnelly. They were
billed to speak in the church north
east of Donnelly in the afternoon and
had taxed livery rig from this place
in the morning and when they were
about to cross the track at the CROSS
ing opposite Gus Johnson's farm the
eastbound passenger struck them and
killed both the horses. The men in
the buggy saved themselves by jump
ing before the engine struck them.
Both horses were killed and the bug
gy demolished beyond repair. The,
train stopped and took Haugen and
his party on to Donnelly from which
point a livery rig was secured and
they drove out to keep their appoint
ment. It is "a mystery how any one
could get in the way of train at that
crossing as there is clear stretch of
track in plain sight from both direc-
tions. No blame is attached to the
train crew-Grant County Review.

MillerS Meet in st. Cloud,

Messrs. Peter Hong aud w. J. Pin
ney, managers of the Willmar Milling
Company and New London Milling
Company respectively: were among
the millers ia attendance at a meeting
held in ST. Cloud last week. The st.
Cloud Journal Press of Thursday
speaks of the meeting as follows:
Some twenty-five of tho merchant
millers of Central Minnesota are at
the Grand Central for the regular
monthly meeting of the club. Usually
the meetings are held at Minneapolis,
but there is q reason for holding the
December meeting in this city. The
millers Of St.. G oud, who have here.
tofore held aloof from membership in
the club, are credited with an inten-
ton of joining at the meeting which is
now in progress at Granite, hall, In
the Carter building on Seventh avenue
No. The club was organized NOR.
than q year ago and its president ia
ID. NJ. Baldwin of Minneapolis and
Secretary M. r. Donnelly OF the same
city. Its purpose is not to increase
prices of the mills output but to safe
guard the interests of its members
against ruinous competition and bad
debts. A -four war has been in exist
ence at Brainerd for several months
and will receive the attention Of the.
meeting today and it is hoped to end
it ct this meeting. With the joining
of the st. Cloud millers, those Of Lit
lie Falls will come into the club and it
IL said that this. will give the death
blow 10 the Brsinerd cut. throat bust

HOLIDAY SHOPPING
The Merry Christmas Season Is Mere
and Willmar Merchants Are Cater.
Ing TO CIT Buyers.

One week from tomorrow and Christ:
mas Day will be here. The season is
at hand for gift buying and our mer-
chants have made the usual prepara-s
tions for accommodating the numer-
GUS customers who will throng the
different places of business, especially
during the week just preceding the
great holiday. Undoubtedly many
have already made their purchases of
holiday gifts, or at least made their
selections. While this may be the
case, yet there are great majority OF
people who defer the little details so
essential to the holiday season until
the last moment, and only dealers in
holiday goods know what big rush
that means. The wise and judicious
buyer will make early preparations
and buy at time when there is full
stock to select from and when the
dealers have more time to attend to
the wants of their customers. Will
mar merchants have this year an un-
usually fine line of goods and there
are many novelties on display. Near
ly all the show windows in the city
contain displays of very attractive
nature and are dressed in a styl for
the holidays which reflects consider.
able credit on the window dressers.
They are only a sample of what may
be seen on the inside, and we are sure
that if the gift seeker will make q tour
OF the city aud visit all the business
houses they will find that there is not
q thing lacking this season in the line
of holiday goods. Our merchants
have made some splendid selections
and there is everything to delight both
the young and old.
The recent snow fall has made good
sleighing for the farmers and this
week the big rush begins for our mer-
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1902-12-17

chants in waiting upon country buy
ers. With good weather and n;cs
sleighing there is every inc ication for
a very prosperous business. Out-of-
town people will find that Willmar
stores are stocked up with full lines in,
all departments, and it will be greatly
to their advantage to come and visit
our city at their earliest opportunity.
We doubt if they will fdd any city of
the size of Willmar in the Northwest
that can show q better class of goods
and such variety to select from, es-
pecially for the holiday season. The
TRIBUNE would call the attention of
its many readers to the advertisements
found on its different pages and in
vite all to give them fair reading.
They will find many valuable hints
that will better enable them to decide
upon what to select before making
their tour about the city.
Merchants look smilingly upon the
growth of local trade, but say it would
be much better both for themselves and
their customers if Christmas shopping
were not put off until the last few
days, and the wearied clerks over
whelmed by the rush Of purch asers.
Although they have made prepar ations
to handle all the business that is de-
layed until the last moment, yet tn ere
is great deal of satisfaction in know
ing that their patrons are endeavorirg
to make it more convenient for them
by buying early. The shopping that
is done so late in the season is dis
tinguished by a certain raspiness
caused by haste aud anxiety to get
something done that ought to haze
been done several days earlier, and
by more or less of the abandon which
recks not OF. small things so that the
buyer acquires respectable quantity
of something that will meet the de-
mands of Christmas.
