"MATZONi" THE WIZARD,
ON RETURN TOUR
Handcuff King TO Appear
Here Next Friday.

"Matzoni,7 the Jail breaker and
handcuff king, is to play return
engagement at GIover's Opera House
next Friday, appearing both after
noon and night. He will be assisted
by his wife.
An entirely new programme will be
given. One of the star performances
is the box trick, in which Matzoni
is nailed in a box and makes his
exit in the presence of the audience.
This is one of his c1everest stage acts.
On his visit to Americas earlier in
the season, Matzoni broke out of = a
cell at the police station after being
bound and tied to the cell bars. At
the evening performance at the Opera
House he gave an entertainment
which pleased and mystified the au-
dience. His release from the straight
Jacket and from a trunk which was
locked and roped were two of his
principal stunts.
1--WE believe the public was pleased
with Matzoni on his former engage
ment said Manager Lucas, of the
Opera House yesterday, "or we would
not have asked him to come again.
He has a new programme and one
which | think will be fully as inter
esting, if not more so, than the one
he gave a few weeks ago"

BUY EARLY FOR CHRISTMAS

Have you done your Christmas
shopping?
It is safe to say this important
work has not been completed by
any purchaser, and in fact very
few have so far done any part of it.
This can be charged chiefly to the
unreasonable weather which has
prevailed for the past week or more.
With only little more than a week
now until Christmas Day, it is time
for a quick decision as to what to
get, and prompt visit to the shop
ping district to fill the wants.
Americas shoppers are fortunate
in having such splendid stocks from
which to make a selection. Nearly
every merchant has an unusually
large stock of goods for this time of
the year and is presenting attractive
prices for moving it.
mad there is no need for anybody
to send away from Americas for a
| Christmas present. In the iewelry
line the advertising columns of the
Times Recorder TEEN with tempting
offerings. The dry goods and de-
partment stores have a wide variety
and large stocks. The book stores
are advertising a fine selection of tt
ties And as books are always APP
propriate, the book store is safe
place to go when in doubt The fur
niture dealers are offering tempting
bargains and in these stores are
hundreds of different articles, costly
mahogany to dainty bits of choice
Dresden china any of which are
most acceptable Christmas presents,
and ones which are thoroughly ser
ylceable At the drug stores, and in
the furnishing stores are to be found
a large assortment of seasonable
goods, both useful and ornamental.
Having such feast of choice
things spread out before the pur-
chaser, it next behooves the shoppers
to buy early, The early buyers get
the pick of the stock and have many
other advantages over those who
come in at the eleventh hour, in the
hurry and rush of the last few days.
Clerks will have more time to the
individual customer, while the iost
ling of the last few days will be es-
capped
Let the Christmas spirit prevail.
Start the buying early this week. The
statesmen and salesladies will assist
in selecting a suitable present to
those who have not fully made up
their minds.
Look through the advertising col
ums of the Times Recorder this morn
ing and tomorrow visit those stores
where are to be found the kind of
gift desired. The more modest, as
we'll as very expensive, Christmas
gifts can be found and at reasonable
prices.
Start to buying early this week and
show your good Judgment by taking
time by the forelock Your mind will
be free from worry which would
otherwise drive you distracted in
the mad rush of the last few days.
And when Santa Claus comes for
your contribution to his pack, you
will be there with the goods.
