Birsky wagged his head from side to

through his nose indicative of shocked
surprise. y.

he commented.
"A couple of tighter propositions

'Then what do they go to work and
buy all them things for?" Birsky asked.
''Who says they bought 'em?" Zapp
a/ked. "All says is that Marcus Fast
pays two thousand dollars for an auto

Here he produced a clipping which
read as follows:

CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL

Only few days more and Christmas
will be with us and as the days grow
fewer the hustle of getting ready"
grows apace. Pretty gifts are stored
up in boxes, drawers and closets and
nimble fingers are busy fashioning
more. Christmas lists are being care
fully studied "lest we forget" some one
who should be remembered. Intimate
talks, secrets and whispers are a part
of our daily life just now. Joyous
happy days are these "just before
Christmas" The stores were never
more attractive and in spite of war,
high prices and famine, money was
never more plentiful, so why shouldn't
everyone have a good Christmas? The
children are trying hard to be good in
the hope of enlisting certain favors
from Santa Claus, and in every home
the little ones are anticipating the
coming joys. The whole world breathes
happiness and expectancy. Even the
"grouches, those who don't care for
Christmas, are in dan ser of being in
crested, and to them let us say, make
a little sunshine for yourself if you
think you haven't any" Open your
hearts and let Christmas in; find some
one to be good to and in that way for
get yourself and Christmams joys will
come to you. If your heart is right,
your home and surroundings will also
be right and you will attain the Christ
mas spirit. So let us all have a Merry
Christmas and when the Christmas
bells are ringing, peace on earth, good
will to men," when the whole land is
full of chime and carol, let us feel
that we have done something unself-
ishly for some one, so that we may
conscienciously enjoy the joys of
Christmastide.

The Record-Herald published an ar
ticle about Wausau of thirty years ago,
on Friday, which was, in the main cor
rect. The Wright" or Moore" house
was the original Hotel Bells and
which has been added TO materially
in the rear since that time and other
wise improved. After the burning of
the Arlington. (now the Masonic
lodge site) Mr.. and Mrs. Bells pur-
chased the hotel now known as the
Hotel BELLS. The Wausau Business
college was not run by "Balgles," as
there was never a man by that name
in Wausau. 1t was. however, run by
&c. N. Boyles. who conducted it until
purchased by Z. d. Widmer, its pres
ent owner. The Brooks & Ross saw
mill was never on the Wisconsin
river. 1t was at Schofield and is the
Ross Lumber Co.'S plant of today, Mr..
Brooks having dropped out OF the firm.
II was in the SOS that this property
was sold to the Brooks & Ross Lum-
Der company, and was owned at that
time by C. P. Haseltine and Mrs. Mary

His Yuietide Scheme


A New York paper printed a few
years ago an amusing letter written by
man who says he has invented a
simple plan whereby the prospective
sender of gifts may be put in touch
with the wants and don't wants of his
friends. His idea is simply that cir
cular letter should be mailed to his
friends about Dec. 10. The letter
should state that, as the recipient has
given him presents in the past, the
writer suppOses he is considering a
continuance of such action, and in or
der to spare the giver worry and the
writer disappointment, the latter is
solving the problem by the application
of little common sense.
He proposes to inclose two lists, one
containing the names of articles he
does not want, while the other list
would have upon it gifts he would like
to receive.

Would you be glad if you would
wake on Christmas day to find a little
grand piano tucked underneath the
tree, a piano that will really play
a mahogany piano, with beautiful,
real keyboard?
OF, if you are a boy. would you like
one of the fine FURNISHED brass bugles
with a red cord and tassel tied on it?
To blow the bugle to wake the great
toyland army of bluecoats that stand
stiff1y in even rows in an attentive body
awaiting your cOmmand-wOuldn't that
be great sport?
How about a big boy scout drum
They are perhaps the newest things
in the snare instruments.
They are very strong and sturdy,
having sheepskin heads, held down by
screw tension. Surely a tattoo beaten
ON a boy scout drum would fire the
little tin army with energy.
There are plenty of other musical
toys that might appeal TO little ones
who do not care for tbese-ffes on
which the American lad can easily
learn TO play Yankee Doodle" and
Dixie" and vioIins which utter sweet.

Would you like a French horn. clar-

ments are very popular. so. if you do
want any you had better write Santa
