FOR THE CHRISTMAS TREE.
The Decorations This Year Prettier
Than Ever, and Cheaper, Too.

The fairy-like nothings that constitute
Christmas tree decorations have develop
ed new beauties this year. Owing to the
improved facilities for manipulating fine
spun glass and giving a richer tint and
texture to paper. the novelties in this line
are of better quality and cheaper than
they ever were.
A couple of dollars will buy a room
length of scintillating objects, each lit
tie study Of itself. The tiny swinging
cersers that have a subtle perfume and
are of starlike brightness are among the
higher-priced decorations Clusters or
grapes. real-Iooking pine cones, sweet
gum burrs and various nuts and fruits
are initiated so cleVerly in melloWtInted
glass as to merit praise
Miniature ships, with the shroudS all
up and an ethereal-lOoking goddess Tor

for a dime. Other ornaments made up OF
satin paper and white plumage are the
curved-neck swans and herons that have
a whistle or noise-maker hid somewhere
about them
All the tropical birds that ever sang OF
scrceched are listed for the Christmas
tree boughs. And although only finger
long, their shape and the character and
the cooring of their plumage are in apt
likeness to life.
1t was neX er thought by the first max
ers of the Christmas horn that tootins
trumpets, accurately shaped and able to
speak for themselves, could be put on
the market for 4 and 6 cents apiece. But
this season sees such wonders perfected.
Transparent balls and allegorical-look-

used in the manufacture are unsubstan-
tial.
Much legendary lore has been levied on
for the fairy-lke banks and notions. The

THE MAN WHO CAME BACK.



In the old mining days in Nevada
had while working at Crow Valley a
terminate and partner named John
Griggs- He was an honest, intelligent
man, and our friendship was a strong
one. One June day Griggs was killed
by a premature blast. He was dead
before any one reached him, but we
could see how his death had been
brought about.
Four weeks after the accident and
funeral the men who were working a
claim at the edge of the hill on which
Griggs' grave had been dug accidentally
exploded several pounds of powder. No
one was hurt, but a portion of the hin
was torn away and the coffin unearthed
and shattered. When we gathered
around it, we found it empty. 1 had
helped to lift the dead man into it with
my own hands, and I had nailed the
cover down myself, but the body had
disappeared. There wasn't the slightest
evidence that it had ever been put into
the rough board coffin. Where had it
gone? There were eighty-four of US
miners in that camp, which was scores
of miles from civilization, and you can
imagine our wonder and CONSERVATION
to find that body missing. We had the
grave under our eyes every day, and no
one could say that it had been dis
1urbed.
