You don't want to give what
every body else gives. We know
that. we kept it in mind when
we were selecting our Christmas
goods. We did not buy "whole

and looked everywhere and any
where to get things that were es-
pecially pretty or especially at
tractive in some way-and we got
them. We are satisfied with this
stock of gifts things which we
collected. We are sure you will
be delighted with them. Remem-
ber when you come here you get
articles which are hard to dupi-
cate, you get things which every
BODY else hasn't got. and can't

Lamps.

This is a gift especially suitable
for some near friend or member
of the family. Lamps these days
are so beautifully decorated that
they have about all the elements
of perfect gifts. The range of
prices is also so great that anyone
can be suited in that respect. The
lamps we are showing this season
are the very latest and most at
tractive designs. The cheapest
will adorn any home. No stock
in this locality that approaches
ours in this respect.

The Teller sees deep conspiracy in
the candidacy of Mr. Luse for the
supreme court. The constitutionality
of the acts of the legislature is liable
to come before that tribunal and our
neighbor believes that the corpora
tions will fear that Mr.. Kerwin, attor-
ney for the Wisconsin Central railway,
the Wisconsin Southern railway and
the Wisconsin Telephone company
will surely be against their interests,
so they have, after consultations and
conferences brought out Mr.. Luse, at
torney for no public service corpora
ton, and at the present time engaged
in fighting three prominent railways.
What does the Teller know Of the pos
ition which Mr.. Kerwin will take on
the constitutionality of any question
which may be presented to the
supreme court? Does it want any of
the provisions of our constitution set
aside by that court in order to sustain
reform measures? We believe that
Mr. Kerwin is not correctly repres-
ented by the Teller and that both he
and Mr.. Luse will decide fairly ques-
tions brought before them.

DEGREES OF GRATITUDE.

An exchange draws a pen picture
of gratitude. 1t says that a certain
man sold farm which he had bought
with stolen money and moved to
another place and purchased one of
the best farms to be had. For three
years the man lived with the fear Of
the penitentiary before him. In order
to shield the innocent sons and daugh-
tiers a newspaper suppressed the publ
cation of the facts which would have
sent the man to prison. Because
the editor of the paper in question
suppressed the facts he lost nearly a
thousand dollars in business taken
away from him by patrons who did
not approve of his method OF running
a paper. In addition to this, the
editor was charged with being bribed
to suppress news items, when, as a
matter of fact. not dollar was asked
for, received, or even considered. He
was abused like a pickpoc ket, but
submitted without murmur to all
these indignities, and saved the man
a term in prison and his wife and
little ones the shame and disgrace
This same man who had stolen the
farm and had been protected by the
newspaper, year later disputed the
corr ectness of bill for subscription
which the newspaper man sent him
and coolly ordered his paper dis
continued This is what may be
called the essence of ingratitude. It
is almost on all tours with some
gratitude that is found in politics.
We know of men that have been
actually provided with the necessaries
of life through public position and
as soon as they became prosperous
Immediately turned their guns on
the man who gave the appointment

Jerusalem, the City Of Peace" and

tive French plant has been turning
out about 700 pounds day. Jeru-
salem water is the finest in the world,
being collected from the housetops and
stored in cisterns. The ice, therefore,
is like crystal. melting slowly and

demand for ice in the sacred city was

Though Hon. l.. X. Luse of Superior
who is a candidate for the supreme
bench comes from northern Wisconsin,
he is no stranger to themembers of the
bar of southern Wisconsin, as for
many years he practiced law in this
section Of the state, his home being in
Stoughton for twenty eight years. The
most distinguished lawyers of the
state are giving him their enthusiastic
support. The members of the bar of
this circuit are doing their utmost to
assist him in his candidacy. Mr.
Luse's career has been most success
full. He has been engaged in the years
he has been in practice in all branches
of litigation. He has held but two
political offices, one being member of
the assembly in 1881, and that of
Assistant Attorney General of the
state. He held this latter position
under two attorney generals Mr.,
Estabrook and Mr.. Mylrea. His
career before the Supreme Court has
been most successful. Of the cases
he has tried before this court, he has
won over eighty per cent, an unusual
ly large proportion.

luncheon was served at the Wood

Russia Still Stands Still.

Russia is, or will be soon, the posses

hostage stamps in the world. Until
now Hong Kong held that position. The
first Hong Kong stamps were issued
in 1859, and are identical in every re-
spect with those in use today. The
head of King Edward Is, however,
soon to replace that of Victoria, and
thenceforth the Russian issue, with
the double eagle and shield of ST.
George, which first appeared in 1864
'65, and is still running, will hold the
long time record.
