ing in a third class carriage with two
mechanics and clergyman" says the
author of Cornish Coasts and Views. -
Presently the workmen began to dis
cuss a mutual friend. 'Ah, he was a
good man. said the elder of the two;
the best man, l think, / have ever
known, and l am over fifty / saw
the parson prick up his ears. This
eulogy of personal goodness appealed
to him. 1t was in his line. Yes the
elderly workman continued thought
fully, the very best man / ever knew.
The way he guarded with his right
and got in with his left on the conk
was a blooming revelation"

From the DAYS of Abraham

Damascus has strong claims to be
considered the oldest city In the world.
The place remains very much what it
was before the days Of the patriarch
Abraham-an island of verdure set In
the Syrian desert-and has martial and
sacred associations extending through
thirty centuries. According to Jose
phus, Damascus was founded by "a,
the son of Aram and grandson Of
shem. It is first mentioned In Scrip
ture In Genesis XIV, 2, in connection
with Abraham, whose steward was
native OF that place.

CHRISTMAS LETTER

We tip our Stetson and call you
dear" because of the high cost of liv-
ing, and also because we are trying
to make collection of the Christmas
Club checks which our banks have
recently distributed broadcast, but
all three of which overlooked us in
the excitement.

1875, Figure it up children and see
how many diamond rings we ought to
have in our family tree trunk

besides the editor insists upon reserv-

Christmas programs, society news
and birth notices of young Yawcobs,
Batting Billys and Kid Kellys.
But to begin with the soup. Have
you been inside our store lately? We
certainly are there with the goods
and it is so attractive that the bosses
and proprietor are spending over
eight hours a day in it and are I'M
selishly willing and even anxious that
others spend something here also;
if nothing more than your time look

Christmas cards, Calendars, Books

Leather souvenirs, Art bric-a-brac
Sporting goods, Musical merchandise,
and all sorts of children's toys and
novelties.
You know we have had for years
the most interesting shop in Ben

this year because it has been recent

painters and carpenters and the
plumbers have left holes enough in
the floor through which the snow
