A HIGH-CLASS
GROCERY STORE

One of the most deservcdly popu-
lar places of business in Elko is the
Central Provision and Meat market,
owned by Sutherland &c McFarlane.
1t is popular because it carries a high
class stock of goods at popular prices,
and is one of the best kept stores in
the town. And not only is the store
popular but the proprietors as well.
This was recently proven by the fact
that Mr.. McFarlane, the junior men,
Der of the firm, was recently elected
to the Legislature by a splendid ma
jority. lie has also served the peo-
pie in the capacity of school trustee.
Mr.. McFarlane is a business man of
extensive experience. He gives his
time 10 the grocery department.
Mr.. Sutherland gives his personal
attention to the meat market. He
has spent many years in the butcher
business, and is familiar with it's
every detail.
This store has one of the finest re.
frigerators in the state. It will carry
a large number of beeves, sheep and
hogs. which enables the company to
keep all meat in storage a proper
length of time before placing it on the
block. We call attention to their ad

of interest to the house wife, and in
cidently to the whole family.

SYS.W EDDY sat upon the top step
VN OF the stairs that led to the
street and rested his chin in
the palm OF his hand. Some OF the fell
lows came along and hullooed to him,
but Teddy didn't answer. He didn't
want to play with the fellows Just
now, for he was battling with a great
sorrow.
Tom had said it, so it must be true.
for Tom was eight years old and didn't
have to go to bed until s o'clock. Ted.
dy's hour for retiring was half past
z, and he realized that the extra half
hour made a man of the world out Of
Tom, while it left the unfortunate Ted
dy still a baby.
Tom had stuck his hands into his
pockets-Tom's trousers were lovely
and rough, just like h:a father's-and
a swaggered around telling all the
fellows that there wasn't any Santa
Claus! When questioned further, he
had said that there used to be, but
that this year there wasn't going to be,
and there V would be again.
. No Santa Claus! If Teddy hadn't
been six years old. he might have
cried, but of course one as old as he
never cried.
Teddy wondered If he'd better tell
his mother. He decided he wouldn't.
Why should his mother, whom he
loved so dearly, be made to suffer any
longer than was necessary?
1t was hard, though, during the next
two weeks, which seemed like years
not to tell, and when Christmas eve
came and his mother gayly brought

congress ENDS.
LONG session
Sixty Third Session Passes Into
History After Sitting 10
Months.

Washington, Oct 24.-After nearly
10 months of continuous sessions
since the Inauguration of Woodrow
Wilson, the Sixty-third congress ad.
journed it's session today. after a col.
lapse of prolonged efforts to procure
the cotton growers relief legislation.
Leaders of this movement agreed to
adjourn, only on condition that the
pending cotton relief measures will
have right of way in the house when
congress reconvenes, December Z.
Few Members Present.
Not over so members cf the house,
and less than a quorum in the senate
were in attendance when the gavels
fell on adjournment. The end was
accomplished through the passage of
a concurrent resolution ending the
session at o'clock this afternoon.
Speaker Clark briefly addressed the
house, and the senate adjournment
probably was the most undemonstra-
tive in it's history. When it was an
nounced the house had passed the
resolution, the senate announced ad-
journment and the senators who had
remained to the end hurriedly left
the chamber.

the banquet was a delightful affair.
"A series of toasts were given by the
Overland enthusiasts, Mr.. Lahr act
ing as POSTMASTER. Enthusiasm for

BUSINESS MEN SHOWED,
FINE SPIRIT YESTERDAY

The travelling men OF Bismarck
want to thank the merchants and
manufacturers of the city for the
tip-top way, in when they assisted
us in a success of Travelling Mems
Day at the Exposition" said the
chairman of the committee last
night.
THAT was some parade we had
this morning, and we couldn'; have
had it unless the mercantile and
manufacturing establishments had
come across so royalty. There
we're lot of strangers in town yes
4erday and that parade will be
some indication to them Of the
progressiveness of Bismarck busi-
ness men. There's no getting
around it that Bismarck is the one
best bet as a distributing center
for North Dakota, and the showing
made by the merchants and manu-
facturers yesterday will help
spread the gospel"
