Practical Gifts

This Is a country based upon
pratical sense. And this sense
Is carried even into the matter
Of buying Christmas gifts. 1t
Is IN every ones remembrance
when Gimsy-hamsy gewgaws
we're purchased to be bestowed
upon another as a remembrance
Of friendship. Now the young
ster gets a toy which Is UNI
breakable. The youth, instead
Of sending his sweetheart n
contraption made Of celluloid or
tissue paper now sends her a
Writing desk, or a dainty chair,
OF a picture something practi-
cal. And that's showing the
proper sense The husband gives
the wife a comfortable rocking
chair, or china closet, or dainty
room adornments. That's prop
or sense. The wife gives the
husband a writing table, a big
comfortable chair, or a rug for
the readlng-room. And who
says the wife doesn't display
sensep
Right here It's well to say
that Harris Is imbued with this
practical sense. Hes selling
practical gifts for practical
people. And he displays still
more Of the practical sort Of
sense by carrying these practi-
cal gifts in hundreds Of various
ideas and in scores Of styles.
He'll show you more practical
Christmas gifts than you ever
thought possible.
In this instance Of remarka-
bly, low-selling prices for pTac-
teal gifts Harris Is not display
Ing a remarkable amount Of
practical sense because the
goods in many, many instances
on selling at cost and less than
c,at. But Harris can't help this,
I his practical sense escaped
b. during the fall which re-
r ed in too heavy buying, and
rtg he finds himself compelled
t'soclifce this stock In order to
mise enough money to pay
fot last Falls improcticability.
But Harris Is prohting In
knowledge. Hes mighty glad to
see the crowd coming to buy
furniture and is using the
money for the protection Of his
former poor judgment. This is
the last week TO buy furniture
at these prices before Christmas,
and as competition can't posi-
bly, meet these prices at any
time, It's about the last chance
you'll ever have to save a very
considerable sum Of money on
everything you may need,
Christmas is day when
everybody should be glad they
are alive.
Gifts and the really practical
gifts, are to be had here for
very small prices.
Harris is certainly doing his
share toward giving the people
amerry Christmas,

Let Us RambIe

It's well that we let our
thoughts run along in a remin-
iscent ltnc, when 50 near the
dawn Of the Day when all men
do honor to the birth of One
who resided upon this earth
short time and who spent his
life instilling into the hearts Of
men a regard, one for the other.
Wonderful Il is, this celebration
in which we, the people, are so
soon to participate, It is the
one occasion when all Christian
nations are a unit And this re-
suit was from such a simple be-
ginning; Il prophecy, a manger,
a song, a star, a visit and gifts.
Today we deal directly only
with the song, visit and gifts.
"Peaoe on earth" sang that an
gelic host which watched over
the Expounder Of an accepted
truth; and who is there but will
admit that the world is better
that we, as individuals, are bet
ter-for the rendition Of that
anthemp Guided by a single
star a company Of weary travel
ers, bearing gifts, arrived at the
humble birthplace and there
kneeling, presented Him with
tokens Of a great love, Do we
regret the journey Of the East
ern savantsP Let's ramble fur
Their
While upon the knee Of an ell
der we hear the first news Of
Christmas, but instead Of the
story of the herald angels and
the Eastern wise men, the name
Of Santa Claus fills us with as
constituent as well as delight.
The reindeer, the sleigh, SNOW,
whiskers, bag Of gifts for good
children, the chimney, the
whole business was q source of
Joy throughout the younger
life. Remember how we wan
dered as to the dimensions OF
this grand old fairy, after an
examination Of the chimney at
the old homer Remember the
sorrow which filled our hearts
upon learning that some little
unfortunate was not the recipi-
ent of the blessings bestowed
upon usP You bet, we remem-
Der these and many other things
connected with the youthful OBJ
servance OF the birth Of the
Humble One. Let's ramble fur
Their.
At the age Of discretion we
find ourselves devoted to ma
king others happy, just as they
did in the good old days, We
can't help It. We're, each Of
us, a Santa Claus. And right
now we are assuming old Kris
Kringle's disguise with great
gladness, and going forth to
spread joy and good fellowship,
It's great business-this Santa
Claus racket.
Be a jolly good fellow on
Christmas, anyway. Every one
Of us cna be that much.

To our Customers. Friends. and
the Public Generally:

me PUBIC ueneFaffy:
The High Hill Milling and Grain
Co., after SO years In the business
at High Hill, Mo-, have rcmodcled
their mill three different times, dur
ing that period, In order to keep
abreast with the times, and to
keep their mill In shape to produce
the best flour that could be made.
They first started with n simple
hand bolt, where every n had to
bolt their own flour. Their trade
has now made " necessary for
them to again increase the capacity
of their mill, but before making
any changes, they made n thorough
investigation and concluded to
place in their mill. only the LATEST
AND MOST APPROVED MACHINERY
for making FIRST CLASS FLOUR, and
they are now installing the famous
Plansifter System.
With the use OF this sitter, we
are able to produce for our custo-
mers, n flour which Is purcr,
stronger and with a better color
than any flour heretofore offered
In this market; a Hour that will
make nor loaves of better bread
than any Hour made on any other
system OF machinery.
We respectfully ask n fair and
impartial trial of our new outfit.
Yours very truly,

OBITUARY..
David Crockett Graves, son Of

Rev.D. w. and Julia A. Graves,
was born in Montgomery City,
Mo-, Jan. II, 1877, and died at his
home in Kansas City, Mo-, at
10 80 n. m, Sunday, May I, 1904,
aged "a, years, 3 months and IA
days. He died Of congestion Of
the brain and was sick only a few
days. After services at his resi-
dence, conducted by Rev. Smalley,
his remains we're taken TO Column
bus, Kans., where he had lived
several years, and married a most
worthy young lady resident Of that
City, Miss Nellie Campbell. The
I uneral was held at the residence
Of his wifc's parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
j.. p. Campbell Mt 2;30 p. m,
Wednesday, May 4, and his re-
mains were inferred In the Column
bus City cemetery. The services
conducted by Rev. j. X.
Bliss, who presented some besuti-
full and appropriate thoughts from
Jcr. i5:-"Sun is gone down while
yet It was day" The interest
In the deceased was attested by
a large attendance OF friends and
acquaintance, and by the many
floral offerings from Kansas
City and Columbus. His mother,
Mrs. ID. w. Graves, Of Montgomery
Cts, Mo-, his brothers, Frank w.
and Edwin b. Graves OF st. Louis.
his sisters, Mrs. j.. A. Rcck, Miss
Sue Bell Graves Of Oklahoma City
and Mrs. Chas. II. Bruce Of Jersey
Shire. Pa, we're all present at the
services at Columbus, but none OF
them had been able to reach
Kansas City before his death,
which followed so soon after the
kilograms that had been sent
them Sunday morning announcing
his critical condition. The only
members OF the family who were
not at the funeral services at
Kansas City or Columbus were
his father, who had remained at
home with the two sisters Julia
and Nellie. A %cablegram was
sent to his brother DIR. w. w.
Graves who II expected to return
soon from Europe.
Few young men have risen
faster In business life. At the age
of II while living with his parents
at Marble Hill, Mo-, n situation
was secured for him in a drug
store In st. Louis where he re-
manned several years and secured
alposltion with Simmons Hardware
Co., attended night school and
took a course In bookkeeping.
His next position was as book
keeper for the Missouri, Kansas 4
Texas Coal Co. He was receiving
good wages but accepted a higher
salary with the j.. X. Crow Coal
Co. For the latter Co. he became
trcasu rer and was promoted to the
position OF secretary. His salary
had been advanced from time to
time until just n few weeks before
