CHRISTMAS CHINAWARE, ROCKIES. TER NICKELED COPPER WARE.

They have already a mammoth lot of chinaware spread on their tables, they are selling from 10c piece to $l.00. The Rochester +nickeled copper ware they fea- tured last Christmas, is again in evidence at their store. This ware is in all appearances silver, but is not, but will wear longer and will always hold its original lustre, which silver will not do when in constant use. It has many advantages over silver in that it is not so heavy, will wear longer and not show usage so plain. It is ma de for everyday use, yet Is nice enough for the daintiest table.
 This store is hopin :, to increase their business in December so their sales may reach the amount of S7, ,000.00. They can't do it ualess you help. Try them just ice.

ORGAA|zESBRANCH
LINE
CONNECTION BETWEENADRIAN
AND CONNELL-IS NORTHERN
PACIFIC FEEDER.

One of the first steps toward con-
Meeting the water level haul of the
North Bank line with the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific, and
contemplating the carrying out of
the wheat of the Big Bend country,
was taken Tuesday, when the North
ern Pacific organized as a subsidiary
company the Connell & Northern
railway.
This road is to be constructed by
the Northern Pacific from Cornell,
on the Northern Pacific in eastern
Washington, to Adrian, on the Great
Northern, a station where the North
ern Pacific, under the guise of the
Washington Central, connects with
the Great Northern. The latter road
was built from Cheney many years
ago and taps one of the best wheat
belts in the state. At present the
wheat is turned over to the Great
Northern at Adrian for Seattle de-
livery, or carried back to Cheney, a
considerable distance, for either Ia
coma or Portland delivery.
The new road will tap the country
| on the east side of Moses lake and
open up fully 100000 acres for ir-
irrigation The right of way has al
ready been secured and the construc-
ton of the line will begin at once.
Railroad officials say that as fast as
1.-The grade is made south from
Adrian and north from Connell the
track will be laid, and before the
wheat crop of next year is harvested
lit will be finding a way to the Coast
over this line. The new road passes
through very rich country, so far
as possibilities from irrigation are
concerned and already company is
being formed in Chicago to use the
water from Moses lake.
Rails which were taken from the
Illdlu lluc III SuSh SiSoS
during the past season, to make way
for heavier steel, will be used for the
branch line, which will have no very
heavy traffic, except at certain sea-
sons of the year The great wheat
crops of the Big Bend country viii
roll southwark over the new line in,
Istead of being doubled back on the
Washington Central to Cheney.
With the construction of the Con
nell & Northern railway begins the
start of a cress-country line in the
central part of the state, which
Eventually will, by the building of
few short lines, make complete con-
Injection between the southern limit OF
the state and the Canadian boundary
| In building the new line the North
ern Pacific will have three outlets out
of Spokane to the Columbia river, the
main line, North Bank and Connell &
Northern, through it's connection with
the Washington Central.

No Need of Suffering from Rheuma
tiSm.

It is a mistake to allow anyone to
suffer from rheumatism, as the pain
can always be relieved, and in most
cases a cure effected by applying
Chamberlain's Linirnent. The relief
from pain which it affords is alone
worth many times it's cost. 1t makes
sleep and rest possible. Even in cases
of long standing this linlment should
be used on account of the relief which
it affords. Do not be discouraged
until you have given it a trial For

KEPT THE SASPATARlAN LAW
Records of Two Noted Men Cited as Rebuke of the Laxness of the

Two remarkable instances of fidel ity to the letter of Sabbatarian law were given at the annual breakfast of the Lords Day Observance society.

 The other instance was contained in the speech of Prof Heresford pite.

BIG GAP IN HIS HONEYMOON.
Groom Serves Two Prison Terms and Then Resumes Ills Interrupted
 Bridal Trip.

A man wh, se face showed his spirit had been braken stopped Capt Tom Halls of the United States secret serv- Ice in the corridor of the federal building one day last week.
 Don't you know me, Cap?" in quired the man.
 Capt Halls looked at him a few seconds and recognized a man he had arrested and caused to be sent to prison in 1902. He invited him to his office.
 T just got out day before yester day. said the man. q served my time at Leavenworth, but as I was leaving there l was arrested again and taken to Joliet to serve out a term there. Thanks. Cap. that's the first orange I've had In almost seven years
 My wife; you remember her, don't you? She's in Louisville, waiting for me. You know, Cap, you arrested me while we were on our wedding trip. l was only with her a couple of days after our wedding and 1 got caught. We'll, she's waiting for me down as Louisville."
 The man shifted uneasily in his chair. and the captain waited for him to continue
 You see, Cap, it's just this way he said. T got here on the bumpers last night Haven't had bite to eat today. That's why I'm so nervous, | guess"
 Whats the fare to Louisville? ?' asked Capt. Halls.
 The man told him and the captain produced a two-dollar bill and 50 cent piece.

IN EARLY DAYS OF COFFEE
Beverage Met with Strong DIsap- proval of English Sellers of
 Strong Liquor.

There is quaint reference to cof- lee in Burton's Anatomy of Melan- choly" The Turks" writes Burton, have drink called coffee (for they used no wine), so named of berry as black as soot and as bitter (like that black drink which was in use among the Laeedoemonians. and perhaps the samel, which they sip still of. and sup as warm as they can suffer; they spend much time in those coffee houses, which are somewhat like our own ale houses or taverns, and there they sit chatting and drinking to drive away the time and to be merry to- gether, because they find by expe- rience that kind of drink so used helpeth digestion and procureth alacrity"
 The introduction of coffee into this country dates from the period of the protectorate. says the London Chron- icle According to restoration pamphleteer, Coffee and common wealth c,me in together" The first coffee house in London was estab- lished in 1852 by Pasqua Rosee. the Armenian servant of a city merchant. Others were quick to follow. Natu- rally the publicans and owners of licensed houses viewed these innova- tions with alarm. Mir Hackwood in his recently published book on The Inns, Ales and Drinking Customs of Old England" recalls the case of one James Farre. who was accused of making and selling a drink called coffee, whereby in makinge the same he annoyed his neighbours by evil smells, and for keepinge of fire for the most part night and day, whereby his chimney and chamber hath been set on fire, to the great danger and affrightment of his neighbours.

 And Mrs. Tolker straightway turned the stream of her indignation, seeth' ing hot, from Mrs. Gadabout to her 'insinuating wretch of husband as she fondly termed him, and after the first pyrotechnic outburst steadily re- fused to speak to the unfortunate man for the rest of the evening.

NEED QUALITY OF PATIENCE.
Highways of France No Place for Pedestrian Who Would Move
 in 3 Hurry.

The highways of France are broad exclusive nor intrusive; yet even hera pedestrianism has its draw backs. Chief among them are the railway crossings. The French system of protection against accidents Is effective, no doubt, but if monsieur the Frenchman were as impatient a being as the American, the mortality would be lit- tie lessened, for the delay involved at these "traverses du ehemin de fer" would choke with rising cholcr as many as might come to grief at an unprotected crossing.
 On either side of the track is a ponderous "barriere, the opening and shutting of which would be slow un- der the best of circumstances. Being always tended by a colossal barrie riere" (gate woman), who moves with the stately grace of a house being raised on jack screws, the barricade Is unduly effective Ten minutes be fore a train is due la barrieriere hoists herself erect, waddles across the track to draw the farther gate, closes the nearer one and, having locked them both, returns to the shade of her cot taxe. The train may be an hour late, but that is beside the question. This is the time that madame is hired to lock the gates, and locked they must remain until the train has passed Woe betide the intrepid voyager who tries to climb over them, for her tongue is sharp and the long arm ot the law is arrayed on her side.
