WHAT TO GIVE A MAN.

Here are some suggestions for practi-
cal gifts to give a man, and as the sug-

masculine sex anyone following them out
is not likely to go far astray:
A box of gl0ves-or even a pair.
Fine linen handkerchiefs with en-
broidered monogram.
A good fountain pen-notice the en-
phasis on the good"
silk card case with gold monogram.
shaving stand with adjustable mir
ror.
4 full-length swinging glass-this is
queer for a man, but the man enumerat-
ed it, so it must have its uses.
A sweater, cardigan jacket or knit
waistcoat.
A gold pencil. or handsome and
serviceabe pen knife.
A cedar clothes cabinet. with cOmpart
rlents for every article of mans attire.
A nickel rod with a set of clothes
hangers attached.
A set of trousers hangers and a set of
shoe trees.
A box containing the various black
ings. poshes, etc, for the care of tan,
calf and patent leather boots.
A safety razor set, if you know he
hasn't one.
Silver or copper handled shaving
brushes and strops.
Silver shaving stick cases. cut glass
and silver bottles and powder boxes
yes, that's what the man said.
Military, hat and clothes brushes scis-
sors. shoe horns and hand mirrors.
Leather travelling cases and bags of all
sorts.
Trunk tags, collar cases, golf bags and
cases.
Studs. scarfpins. waistcoat buttons,
watch guards, seal rings.
Small tie clasps of gold or silver, or
silver key rings and chains.
A nice muller for day or evening.
If he reads books, subscriptions to
magazines. bookracks, revolving book
cases, paper cutters.
A handsome ash tray or a bronze lamp
for cigar tapers.
A tobacco key of mahogany or oak and
silver.
4 handsome match box or cigar or
cigarette humidors.
A handsome walking stick or UNI
brella
Notice, please. that the man did not
mention neckties, cigars, nor fancy work
gimcracks. probably expecting this list
TO be read by a woman. Don't give them
to him.
Some other things he didn't mention.
such as an easy chair. leather cushion,
. reading lamp, a bathrobe or housecoat.
would probably be very welcome If he
happens to need NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

CHRISTMAS TIME.

1t is the merry Christmas-tme,
When ali the shops are gay
With things that after New Years morn
You couldn't give away
And everybody all day long,
Is busy as bee,
In buying gifts 10 send 10 folks
They never want to see.
1t is the happy Christmas-time,
When every soul is mad
About the gift they didn't get
But think they should have had
And all the rooms are Uttered up
With trash you'll never use,
Tied up with gaudy ribbon bows
In glaring pinks and blues
]. is the giddy Christmas-time.
The hold-up season, when
You are apt TO give a silver vase
And get fountain pen,
Or purchase, bound in costly calf,
The works of Avon'S bard,
And in return receive by mail
penny Christmas card
1t is the joyous Christmas time
OF holly and of mirth.
When bells are ringing in the sky.
And snow is on the earth
And If we all confess the truth.
though Christmas costs us dear,
were mighty glad to see it. for

Newest wrappings for Xmas Gifts.

There never was a time when so much
attention was given to the wrapplngS Of
the Christmas gifts. Many thousands OF
dollars are being spent this season by
women OF fashion for artistic boxes, pa
per. ribbons and tags with which to do
up their pretty presents
One Of our biggest shops here in BoS-
ton has given over whole section 10
just these wrappings. And such attrac-
tive things as are TO be had.
Dainty white tissue and heavier glace
paper are the fayOrites for the wrap
pings themselves while for tying the
packages there is diversity Of CON
ceitS.
First there is red Irvine That is Of
course, the least expensive, costing but
; cents a bail. Next comes red ribbon
of plain silk weave, red silk ribbon
with "Merrie Christmas printed upon it
in white at every little distance. and
then the red and green double ribbon.
The most expensive thing to use Is. Of
course, the white satin ribbon with holly
leaves and berries printed along its
length. Gold cord. two yards for >
cents, is very effective when a sprig of
real holly Is caught in with the knot.
OF fancy tags there are many yarie-
ties. from those costing a cent apiece

The prohibition question is one
that needs the attention of our
officials and those in authority. We
believe that those who jump up
and shout about the great success
of the law, don't know what they
are talking about or are just talk
ing to hear themselves talk. It is
we'll established fact that it does
not require much capital to start a
blind pig and the profits are very
large. The trouble with the pres
ent law is. that for the first convic-
ton it is not severe enough. Make
it from one to five years in the
penitentiary. Then it will not be
so easy for those who run pigs by
hiring men with the understanding
that if they are caught the fine
will be paid and their salary will
go on while in Jail. Law is law
whether obnoxious or not ald we
believe in the enforcement of the
same. Laugh at one law and there
are others that will be allowed to
get in the same class. A strict
enforcement of the prohibition
law is the only way the people can
h pc to get free from the blind
piggers and poor whjskey. Local
option is most successful in deal
ing with the question. In this
case the sentiment of the people is
expressed either for or against.

One Of the most disgustin

One Of the most disgusting
sights is to see a young boy under
the influence of liquor. We are
soory to say it, but last Saturday
we saw boy, not much more than
fifteen years old, staggering down
the streets, swearing and cursing
with all the bravado of the lowest.
There was nothing in the sight to
feel proud of, and those who saw
the young lad, turned away with
rrow with the thought that some
mothers heart would break when
she found that her boy had started
upon the road that has but one
end-destruction. But what Of
the man who furnished this boy
with liquor by which he became
intoxicated? The English Ian
guage does not contain words
strong enough to express the con-
tempt in which such man should
be held. The authorities Should
arrest the next boy found in this
condition and he be made to tell
who furnished the booze.

If the railroad Of the country
continue to kill off the people the
way they have the past year, it will
not be necessary for Congress to
throw any restrictions around the
immigration into the United States.
All that will be necessary will be
to give the prospective citizen a
trip over the railroads and if he
lives to tell the story, issue to him
full citizens papers before he gets
away. The loss of life through
railroad wrecks the past year has

be no let up to it. Only the other

citizenship, and the Missouri slope

thrifty, energetic and loyal hoLe-
builders. Many have come from
foreign lands and many renters
from Iowa and other older states
have come to North Dakota to bet

not been disappointed. The in

winning in the future. Railroad
extensions have pushed in every
direction, new towns have sprung
up and grown to important trading
points during the past year and the
real wealth and business of the
great county of Mclean has almost
doubled. Well may the citizens Of
Washburn, and Of every other
community in the county feel that
he has real cause to be happy on
this the dawn of new year. And
in this joy let there be serious
contemplation Of the future. Let
us, with renewed energy and zeal,
push every industry, pull every
resource of this favored county
during the coming year that the
dawn of 1908 may be still more
glorious than that of 1907. The
