Put TO FLIGHT
TILE XMAS SPIRIT APPEARS ON
'CHANGE.
Traders Give Miss Kemper, Operator Of
i the Ticker, a Handsome Present
The Pit Gets w. B. Mclean Tangled
Up in His oratory Employees Get
Higher Salaries.

The Christmas spirit appeared on
change this morning, and busy brokers
in the wheat pit forgot the market long
enough to grasp its inspirations; the
ghost Of Old Scrooge fed down the
elevator shaft and out thru the alley,
and jollity and Christmas cheer reigned
on the floor.
The feature Of the morning was the
presentation Of a handsome solid gold
bracelet to Miss Mayy Kemper. Miss
Kemper occupies an elevated platform
Gated electrical device that sends quo
tations out over long line Of "tick-
ers. She has long held the respect
and good wishes Of the bulls and bears,
and SO it was decided yesterday that she
ought to have a token Of their esteem.
That it would be a godo present was the
natural sequence, for the pit never does
things by halves.
w. B. Mclean, the pit trader and
well -known member Of the Lake Of the
Isles Driving club, having been selected
to make the presentation speech, re:
tired to a far-oR corner where he tore
several reverberating strips off the
English language, which, with bundle
Of hyperbolean expressions, he glued to,
gether into a Bourke Cochran grafton
But the glue came loose. Emerging
from his corner with the fire OF
Demosthenes in his eye, andsa Chauncey
Depew visage looking thru the per
SEPARATION, he mounted chair and began
a presentation address, and went tt
pieces somewhere between. the reward
Of faithful service and the great saw
mills Of Minneapolis. - rr sss

the brokers for their remembrance.

A JudIcious inquiry.

A we'll known travelling man who
visits the drug trade says he has
often heard druggists inquire of Gus
toners who asked for cough medi-
cine, whether it was wanted for a
child or for an adult, and if for q
child they almost invariably recon-
mended Chamberlain's Cough Rene
dy. The reason for this is that they
know there is no danger from it and
that it always cures. There is not
the least danger in giving it, and
for coughs, colds and Group it is I'M
surpassed. For sale by j. Hawkins
Goodman.

Some SeasonabLe Advice.

1t may be a piece of super6uous
advice to urge people at this season
of the year to lay in a supply of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. II is
almost sure to be needed before win
ter is over, and much more prompt
and satisfactory results are obtained
when taken as soon as cold is con-
tracted and before it has become set
tied in the system, which can only
be done by keeping the remedy at
hand. This remedy is so widely
known and so altogether good that
no one should hesitate about buy ing
1t in preference to any other. 1t is
for sale by j. Hawkins Goodman.

as it is dependability which is
desirable. When you buy shay
