WAS LATE SO DID NOT
AVOID THE RUSH

Next time that DR.. G. A. Massey, Of
Turner, comes to Salem to turn in his
orders to Santa Claus, or upon any
other errand which takes him into one
of the big mercantile establishments of
the city he will probably take a little
more time and make his entrance in
the regular and dignified manner that
is more becoming TO a gentleman of his
profession, instead of marching right
through the glass of the front door.
During the rush of Christmas shop
pers in the Meyers department store
last evening, the otherwise peace and
quiet, which was duly saturated with
suppressed excitement attendant upon
the selection Of suitable present for
"him" or cher" there was sudden
crash in the front of the store follow
ed by the muffled and stifled screams
of lady clerks and shoppers, and out
of the turmoil arose the tall and Gun
dignified" figure of DR.. Massey, who
in his rush had missed his wellintended
designs upon the door latch, slipped
and tumbled headlong through the
plate glass panel of the front door.
After the excitement had died down
and all concerned were satisfied that
it was not night attack of the Ger.
mans or allies, or holdup, DR. Mas
sey extracted himself from the ruins,
marched directly up to the business Of

Keys did not clean up on Front street
yesterday. Receipts were of good size,
larger than some of the dealers ex-
pectcd. There was good demand
throughout the day, however, and the
market was steady. Tops were quoted
at %, 23la and "a cents by different
houses. The quantity carried over did
not worry the trade and unless belated
arrivals this morning are large every
thing will probably be disposed Of.
Things were not so satisfactory in the
live poultry line. There was little or no
demand, yet supplies continued to pour
in all day. Live hens sold as low as 10
and II cents, and Springs could not be
moved at any price, Live turkeys,
ducks and geese were also not wanted.
There was not much movement in
dressed meats, as usual ON holiday
market, but former prices were quoted,
The egg market was firm with brisk
demand, stimulated by the cold weather
and holiday requirements. Cheese and
butter were unchanged. The latter was
barely steady.
