Glad Christmas day draws near again,
That best day of the year,
When saddened hearts forget their pain
In merry Christmas cheer.
Tis better far to give good gifts
Than to receive the same,
And he who can't find happiness now
Must surely be to blame.
And here among our business men
Each one should bear in mind
That anything in Christmas goods
In their great stocks you'll find.
"HE approach OF the holiday
season is heralded among our
business men by special at
tention to the art Of window
dressing and the displaying of
their various wares in an attractive and
pleasing manner in their large and COM
modIous show windows. Our reporter
paid visit to the various business houses
which have entered into the holiday spirit
and devotes a portion of The Banners
space to brief resume of the attractive
and suggestive displays to be found in the
various windows.
The Hub, Vern c. Divine big Depart
ment store, has each one of the big win
dows beautifully decorated and filled with
handsome goods which at once appeal to
the eye of every man who delights IN the
best there is in mensi attire. A row Of
beaming Santa faces looks down upon a
tastily arranged window filled with fine
hosiery, neckties, neck scarfs, clothing,
bath robes, gloves, shoes, underwear,
hose supporters, armlets, fancy vests,
umbrellas, canes, cuff buttons, hats. caps,
etc. The interior of the store is also very
beautifully decorated in red and green,
happily suggestive of the approaching
festal day.
The large windows of A. B. Hull's Jew
elry store are filled with fancy jewelry Of
every description, hat pins, mission clocks,
silver ware, combs, brushes, purses, man.
icure sets, toilet sets, leather goods etc.
The interior decorations are strikingly at
tractive and bring the approaching holi-
day most forcibly to mind. The colors
are red and green
In the Ireland hardware store a very
attractive fireplace recalls the early days
of long ago, while around about are seen
many attractive gifts such as carving
sets, chatting dishes, sad irons. etc. and
all of them suggesting appropriate and
attractive presents. Then for the little
ones there are sleds, skates. rifles, polo
sticks, etc. Both windows and interior
hold out many attractive things desirable
as Christmas gifts.
In Jensen & Wheeler's east window is

TIGERS SERVE NOTICE ON
THEIR PENNANT RIVALS

three runs were enough to beat the
Athletics In the opener and proved
too much for the nerve OF Mr.. Kellogg,
the big Scranton southpaw, who
promptly detonated. allowing the Tig-
ers TO whale round few extra runs
and enhance their batting averages.
Never before had said Kellogg
seen such base running like that
and IL was no wonder he came to
the conclusion that there was no
use trying to beat a team that
scored runs on such scant excuse.
i Came the second game and dapper
Mr.. Schlitzer walked out on the
mound for the Connie Macks, held the
ball up 10 his face and murmured his
name at IL. the result being q copious
shower OF saliva, annointed with
which the ball took all sorts OF mys-
terious and unexpected shoots on Its
path TO the plate.
For nine long innings the Tigers
popped the spitters mp into the air
and the Athletics could DC no better.
Three scattered hits fell to the lot
OF the home crew In the regulation
period and they couldn't work their
favorite game because they failed to
get man to second at time when
the following infield out would not
retire the side. Schiller himself got
the only hit of Summers In the regu-
lars length OF game, and, though two
other Athletics got to first, but one
OF them got as far as second aud

Probably no meeting OF similar

The forward pass was discussed In

the pertinent point Of the whole SEES
