THE AMERICAN FLAG.

When freedom from her mountain height
Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe Of night
And set the stars Of glory there.
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes,
The Milky baldric Of the skies,
And striped the pure, celestial white
With streakings Of the morning light.
Flag Of the free, hearts hope and home!
By angel hands to valor given;
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hues were born in heaven.
Forever float that standard sheet!
Where breathes the foe but falls before US,
With freedoms soil beneath our feet,
And freedoms banner streaming DER u.s.

der the head of luxuries.
At the variety stores there are TO
be found the largest stocks of goods,
Of the class kept in such places, ever
shown in Great Bend. Because these
places price their goods cheap, do not
think they do no; carry articles that
would make useful and appropriate
gifts for Christmas. They have such a
Large assortment TO select from that
il would be impossible TO under axe
70 give even few OF the leaders, bWs
"trip TO the stores will convince any
one that they can have many of their
wants well supplied. The goods are al
Of recent purchase and the quality is
much better than can generally be
found i'm stones of this kind.
While the milliners make no specia
preparations for the holiday trade
they have rich stocks with which to
ham out stylish hats that de-
light the ladies, and these are always
suitable Christmas gifts. There are
no behher millinens than those in
Great Bend, and they should not be
overlooked in making holiday pur'
chaSes. During the holiday season
extra help is employed so that work
can be turned out quickly.
The butchers are preparing to Offer
their cuStmeTs the best aSSorimen
of game, poul.ry and fish ever brough
70 Great Bend, and as the prices this
year are below those Of former years
everyone should be we'll supplied viii
these edibles for the holidays.
The Great Bend merchants have tn
goods to offer and as the prices ar*
right, if the people will do their shop

everyone should not be satisfied. Re
member that in doing late shopping
no time is left TO exchange goods O
tc have the dealer order what may b
