Why not-Why not select your
Christmas presents NOW while we
have eleven thousand and one to select
from. Later on you will be busy, we
will be busy, and you won't be so likely
TO get what you want.

Claude Campbell, editor and pub
Usher of the Glendale, Mimi, Eagle,
visited from Saturday to Monday with
his mother in this city. Claude looks
well, acts well and is well and he
reports his new town as being the
same. He says IL is good place for
prohibitionists and Baptist, as the ram
this fall has been sufficient TO make
them all web-footed. He is we'll
pleased with the outlook and predicts
that Glendale is the coming town OF
that section.
I'll brave the storms OF Chilkoot Pass,
I'll cross the plains of frozen glass,
I'll leave my wife and cross the seas,
Rather than be without Rocky Noun
tain Tea. A l.. Binford. Dec
Twas the day before Christmas
when all was still?-No, every body
was at Binford's after something for
Elsie but the particular thing they
wished to get had been sold, so after
several hours Of weary searching they
bought something else, but it was not
what they wanted. That was LAST
YEAR, this year we want EVERY BODY
TO come now, before the other fellow
does and get just what they want.
Come early-come now and get Just
what you want. 27w2

The following is taken from the
Watertown Public Opinion: Robert
j. Burdettc lectured at BrookIngs
Wednesday evening The next morn
ing the great lecturer was heard tc
remark that the audience the night
before was about as large as a prohi
bition convention. Evidently he was
not appreciated as well by the citizens
OF our neighboring city as he was by
the people Of this town who packed the
Grand when he was here foar years
ago" II this Is a sample Of the With
cisms Of the reverend joshmark, ht
must be getting stale.
! Prof, j, W, Wilson, director Of the
experiment station, accompanied by
Messrs Ellery Chilcott, Grace, Arthur
Knox, Williamson, VIII Thornber and
w. p Snyder, students of the depart
ment OF animal husbandry, went &c
Chicago Sunday evening to attend The
fat stock show, BY this means 1T will
be possible to give the young men a
more practical knowledge of cattle
their development and especially the
method OF judging them. This move
on the part Of Prof. Wilson is one of
great value to the department.
The West Point foot ball team met
the Annapolis team at Philadelphia on
Saturday, and the army boys trimmed
up the navy to the tune of % TO 8.
| The game was good one throughout
and the attendance was a big outflow
OF society people and as it made little
difference to them which side was
victorious, 1t can be said that society
won the day. James Temple, trainer
OF the S. ID. A. G. track team, was the
trainer for West Point this fall and
the outcome of the game is another
laurel in his wreath of victories.
