fat office. Nothing Of that kind, but
just a. Christmas present. When
you are passing the Standard Liquor
company's place on Commercial
street Just let your gaze wander in
to the big window, and you will not

admire The present is a group Of
four beautifully mounted China
two cocks and two hens
a cunning little fox, pointing his del
icate little black nose at you, and
fixing you with his intelligent eyes,
as though he wanted to talk to you.
The little fellow is beautifully posed
with one foot daintily lifted, and at
his feet young rabbit, his break
fast, which he has apparently drop
ped at some sudden alarm. 1t is a
dandy little group, a splendid pres
ent, and Alb is perfectly justified in
feeling trifie chesty.

GOT AWAY
WITH $50

properly speaking house-breaker,
smashed a window in the basement
of the residence of c. Barnhardt, SO6
South Third street, Thursday morn
ing some time after o'clock and
there being no one home, proceeded
to help himself. He did not take the
furniture and thoughtfully left the
cook stove, but he did find a purse
with SO DIN coin in 1t. And no doubt
realizing the extra need of little
coin at the gladstone Christmas time,
he "beneyolently assimilated" It. He
forgot to leave his card, a note of
thanks or any clue to his identity, an
oversight, and failure in politeness
that Mr.. Barnhardt deeply regrets.
