FOR LATE
PURCHASERS

If YOU are one Of the pro-
crastinators who have not yet
made their Christmas pur-
chases, they are keeping open
house for you at Gorham s.
Having done its best for the
past six weeks to get every
BODY to do their Christmas
shopping early, Gorhams is III
fine shape to look after the late
corners.
Thanks to a persuasive lnvl-
tation and to the extra prepa-
rations made to accommodate
the early shoppers, Gorham
has accommodated more
Christmas shoppers up to the
present than in many long
wears. The two stores are just
as thoroughly prepared to sup
ply your wants this last week
of Christmas shopping.
One reason Gorham's is IL
such excellent position to ac'
commodate the last Christina:
buver is that this year the Cor.
ham staff has made a speclai
study of caring for the holiday
trade. Six weeks ago this
column began urging every
one to buy early. This was
followed up a little later with
more missionary work along
the same line. An especially
large stock of specially made
Christmas goods was put in,
and the store and delivery staff
were especially drilled for the
holiday rush.
You needn't have any fear
that the Christmas stock is eX-
hausted and that you will not
be able to find what you want.
The Gorham stock is mex
haustible. The big store on
Fifth Avenue and the big fac
tories in Providence and this
city keep in such close touch
that the supply of no article IS
allowed to run out.
Remember that the great
Gorham factory army of $500
people has been engaged for
months past providing for just
these last few weeks of the
year. Designers have given
their best thought and crafts
men their cleverest work IN
producing articles to give
pleasure to thousands during
the coming week. When it is
recalled that the Gorham fac
tories supply not only the two
big Gorham stores in New
York but 5000 leading jewel
lers throughout America, the
volume of the Gorham output
can be realized. You can see
that it would not be easy to
exhaust the stock Of an cstab-
lishment like that.
All of these great resources
are at your disposal in the
Gorham store this week. Cor
hams has made ready especi-
ally for the always large army
of late buyers, and you can
make your purchases in COM
fort and have them delivered
with promptness. Don't think
because you have put off pres
nt-buying until now that YOU
are too late. You can make
your Christmas purchases at
Gorhams this week with as
much ease and satisfaction as
YOU could have made them
elsewhere a week ago.

ALL BENEFITS PAID
BY ASSOCIATION
Organization at Mishawaka Wooden
Manufacturing Co. Has Pros
porous Year.

The Mutual Relief association
among the employees of the Misha-
waka Wooden company has just finish
ed another years work. This asso-
citation was organized in June, 1907.
and the plan adopted was one Of
Help the Other Fellow, and not one
Of personal gain. The entrance fees
and dues were placed low enough to
make it possible for all employees. if
they choose TO do so, TO take adVan-
tage of the benefits 70 be gained. The
association became popular at once
and has gained members and financial
strength, and now the treasury shows
a comfortable balance.
The work IS handled by ten officers
and directors who are elected by the
members, and one, the treasurer, who
is appointed by the management Of
the Wooden company. This board.
together wit hthe sick visiting COM
mittee, investigate all claims for ben
efits.
The association has paid all just
claims that have been brought before
the board, and a vacation at the eX-
pense of the Relief association. The
death benefits have always been
promptly paid, and in several cases
this prompt payment has made it
possible for the body TO be taken back
to the Family Lott in the home GEM
etery, when this could not have been
done without the immediate assist
ance given by the association.
The Loan department has proven a
splendid branch of this work. Mem
bers of the association may get loans
Of small amounts to help over hard
places caused by sickness or death in
the family, ana repay froI wages
each week making 1t easy 10 handle
by the one who is helped. very
small rate of interest is charged, and
members are not obliged TO get into
the clutches of the Loan Shark" in
time of need.
The good accomplished can be
shown by figures as sick and accident
benefits paid since organization, $27,-
0S7 and death benefits. $3.50.
The help given comes when most
needed. and the many expressions OF
gratitude heard by the members Is
additional evidence Of good done. The
| association meets semi-annually for
the election of officers and directors

: being held in the Fire department al

IS ACCIDENTALLY
SHOT WHILE HUNTING
George VAIL IS Victim OF His Own
Gun-Was Married Here Ten
Years Ago.

George wahl, 2O7 S. Smith St. was
killed by his own gun in a woods on
the farm Of his father, Philip VAIL,
FIVE and a half miles southwest Of
Mishawaka, Friday morning. II is
thought that his death was accidental
as he was IN the best Of spirits when
he left the house and there was no
note near the scene OF death which
would indicate suicide.
Mr.. VAIL for the past few days
had been complaining OF the torrid
heat and had mentioned that he was
not feeling we'll. His father had in
vited him 70 his country home for a
few days and ne had gone there in
tending TO stay over the weekend
with his wife at the old homestead.
Friday morning his father suggest
ed that they go hunting for fox squir-
rels IN the woods nearby. He cleaned
both guns and they then both started
for the woods and on arriving there
they hunted about for nearly an hour
and not finding any game sat on a
log TO rest. Mr. Vail then left his
son and returned to the house; after
walking a good distance he turned
and looked back and ne says that he
saw his son still sitting on the stump
near the edge OF the woods.
About 9 o'clock he heard two shots
but did not pay any particular atten-
ton. He says that on nearing the
woods at II o'clock he saw the body
of his son on the ground and found
him dead when he arrived. He then
went back to the house and called two
neighbors, G.. =. Walker and Victor
Lafree, TO assist him to remove the
body. He thinks that his son had been
dead at least two hours before he
found him.
The one shot entered the abdomen
and came out at the seventh rib.
From the position of the mans body
IL IS thought he had started TO crawl
to seek aid. Neighbors had heard
three or four shots fired and found
some empty shells in the woods which,
it is thought, VAIL had THROWN
there. The gun was a II gauge
double barrel shotgun and both shells
were found in il. The body when
found was lying about five feet from
the gun. but indications show that he
had crawled away from il. There
were two empty and one loaded shell
found near the stump and several in
his pocket.
Coroner Swantz Of South Bend
viewed the remains and interviewed
the parents OF the dead man at the
farm Friday afternoon and ne says
that he thinks death was accidental.
He held an inquest over the BODY
Saturday morning and announced his
verdict as accidental death.
Mr. VAIL had lived in this city for
q number Of years and was well
known. He at one time several years
ago owned a coal yard on w. Fourth
st. but sold cut. He had been work
ing lately as a mason. He was AZ
years old and was born Jan. L, 1871,
at the old homestead southwest of the
city. lie was married about ten years
ago in Mishawaka-
He is survived by his wife and
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Philip Wahl
OF southwest OF the city. and two
brothers, Asra VAIL OF South Bend
and William Wahl OF this city. and
one sister. Mrs. Frank Warner OF
south Of South Bend.
No funeral arrangements have yet
been made but burial Will probably
be at Woodlawn cemetery.

FEW ACCIDENTS HERE.

There were few accidents in this
city to be recorded against Fourth of
July celebrations although there was
much shooting Of cannons and loud
crackers about the streets all day and
late into the night.
Joseph Warren was the first victim
and he sustained serious burns TO his
hands and arms when he attempted
10 light off a sky rocket while holding
1t In his hand. He explains the acct
dent by saying that he was careless
and because he had purchased several
roman candles and one rocket and
putting off the candles forgot and held
the sky fireworks in his hand He
was taken to the Office of a physician
where the burns were dressed.
The second vftim was John Hesch
OF e Grove St, who held a cannon
cracker in his hand and which went
out the wrong end and badly burned
his hand. He was taken to physi-
clan and the burn was attended to.
