 And for these things Mena will gradually prepare, particularly in the way of hotel accommodations, etc, all of which will add to her prestige and to her powers to draw and hold visitors who come in win ter and summer to enjoy her eli mate and her health-giving condi- tions.
 There is, therefore, no estimating the amount of direct and indirect good that may result from the es- tablishment here of the enterprise backed by Mr. w. W. Miller and his sons and their associates.

Every true Menaite will always patronize home merchants when what he or she wants can be found in our stores, but at the same time our merchants should keep in mind that it is not human nature for peo- pie to use magnifying glasses to search for these things when all sorts of catalogues from mail order houses are furnished without even asking. The biggest puller to keep trade at home is home advertising the kind that tells every day of the things that are kept for sale the things people want.

Christmas stocking. Good old st, Nich.
olas Of Padua used to throw long knit.
fed purses tied ut both ends into the
open windows OF the very poor people,
and these purses were Of yarn and no:
unlike q fONtless stocking. Finally it
became the custom Of the people to
Wang these empty rcceptac:cS out ~
their windows on the night before
Christmas so that st. Nicholas would
put a gift into them rs he passed by.
BY and by. when the coin of the realm
became scarce. toys were put IN for Tho
children and useful presents for grown
people. In the north country. where it
was rather chilly ut Christmas time.
the purses were hung on the mantel.
piece. and it was believed that the
good old saint would come down the
chimney and Gil them. When these
purses Went ont Of fashion stockings
were substituted and have been used
ever since.
