in all probability the Kennebec hotel
management would change hands
Saturday evening Miss Bessie Wood
ward made the deal with the present
proprietors Mr.. S. E. Farrell and
his daughter Mrs. Paul Pharis, and
this coming Monday she will take it

hot and cold running water install

ments added. During the time Mr..
Farrell and daughter have had the
hotel, it has been run in f1rst-class
shape.
In assuming the management, Miss
Woodward is not without hotel eX-
perience, having been with the Ken
nebec for number of years,
and there is no question but that she
will make a success in her new ven
ture.
Mr.. and Mrs. Farrell and daughter

do, but for the present they will be
at their home here on Center street.

 All persons having knowledge of matters pertaining to river and harbor improvements and of the facts concerning the need for local improvements of that character are request ed to attend in order that the case for Hyder may be prop erly presented at the hearing. l Dalby Morkill, B. c. mineral and land surveyor, was an ar- rival from the South, Sunday, lon a visit to the Stewart sec ton.
 The Admiral line steamer ! Curacao arrived from Seattle direct early Friday, bringing a number of passengers and a good sized load of freight. The vessel remained in port only a few hours and left for Ketch- Iikan while a majority of local residents were still "dallying in the arms of Morpheus"-as ! Hogan said.
 [, A. II. Kuetner, cannery man of Rose Inlet, and a passenger on the steamer Curacao, be- came so ill with some form of internal disorder while the vessel was in port last week that 1t was necessery to sum- mon medical assistance.

 Proprietor Oren F. Hill, of the Hyder Drug Co.,, has perform ed a much needed sevice for traffic by widening the street in front of his establishment, so that cars may pass without ) difficulty or delay and also turn around if so desired.

WHEN WE co SHOPPING
BY MRS. HARLAND ii. ALLEN.

athletic shoes are specially designed
Tor rough usage and long hikes, so
they are not only saving of money
in the long run, but they do encour-
age healthEiVing play, protect the
feet, strengthen the ankles and help
to make better children.
Ordinarily a pair Of sneakers" or
rubbersoled shoes. and "a pair Of all
leather outing shoes. will satisfy
every need. The rubber soled shoes
can be used for tennis, basket ball.
running, hand ball, and so forth, while
the heavy shoes Will do service for
climbing, hiking, rough play and gen
eral outdoor wear
Even if a boy goes in for foot ball
or base ball, where special makes Of
shoes are needed for team work, he
can get along well enough with his
outing shoes until he becomes a mem
Der or some team, and then shoes are
usually furnished by the organization.
W hat the parent needs to see, how
ever is that there is a real saving of
money by recognizing the need for
some athletic shoes. An inexpensive
pair Of rubber shoes will save twice
their cost from the wear on his
school shoes. besides giving him more
self respect and joy in his play.
But when the boy comes pleading
for spiked running shoes, which may
be just "A whim. and with which he
may hurt himself badly if not instruct
ed how to wear them. the best plan
is an indefinite postponement." In
fact, the parents biggest problem Is
often the one Of deciding between real
needs and sheer indulgence.
In choosing athletic shoes, be sure
to get them large enough and long
enough. 1t is very easy TO get a soft
canvas or rubber shoe too small.

Your Lists of Christmas Presents
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER

send. Such a list will be a pleasure
to make if done at your leisure, and
will be relief to your mind later.
List Books for Gifts.
Let me suggest Christmas list books
for this purpose. These come in
editions de luxe, but an ordinary
blank book will serve every require
ment In the book a record can be
kept of all persons to whom you send
gifts, and cards also, from year to
year. This SimplifieS making lists
after the first one, for, although
names will be changed, somewhat,
from one season to the next, the main
ones remain permanent fixtures. Ihe
advantage OF having these per
ennials," as we might call them, is
that the book prevents duplication OF
gifts TO them. You can see at
glance what was given before, after
you have kept record for time.
Catering to Hobbies.
In such a book YOU can also write
down fads and fancies of different
persons. l know.of one lad who pre-
ferred to have tools. An assortment
of nails screws or brackets gave him
keen happiness. One of my friends
has a collection of wood cuts, another
of teapos. 1t delights the latter to
be given a teapot bought in your
travels If one has a glaze that is
interesting. a shape that fascinates;
is OF IA make difficult 10 get; is an
antique. etc, she CherisheS 1t. An
other woman collects baskets, and a
new one to add to her numbers finds
welcome. Another homemaker col
lects pitchers, and has a rare array.
Anything distinctive that you can
give her is sure to please.
Books, Fabrics and Gems.
There are people who love to read;
books to them are Il JOY. Other peo-
pie have an eye for fabrics, and a
bit of rare brocade or a length of
quaint old chintZ will prove charming.
There are persons who are ConnOiS-
seurS on gems. While precious stones
might be quite outside the purse linn
its to present, still there are endless
semi-precious stones which are ac-
tually inexpensive. such as amaZonite,
malachite, gems in the matriX or in
quartz, etc. A collector of gems does
not set them for their settings. but
likes them unset, and is sure to ap-
preciate new specimens, whether pol
ished or unpublished. 1t is interesting
to note than men are as apt to he
collectors asSwomen, so to know their
hobbies gives Il clue to what they
will like. Since gifts to men are
proverbially difficult to choose, it is
helpful to remember their hobbies.
Gifts That Crafty.
Mothers who have little tots appre-
ciate gifts for them as much as for
themselves bonnet for baby, a
dainty dress, etc. Housewives want
so many things, usually, that any
thing pertaining to the home can
scarcely come amiSs. However, it
sometimes happens that they crave
the things that are not practical, Yet
they would never think of spending
the money to crafty such wishes.
Christmas is time when friends have
the privilege of satisfying such tastes.

Sunday School.

believe in Sunday school. In the
first place, we have set aside the Sab
bath day. Even to those who have
long since severed connection with
church and things pertaining TO
church there is the tradition of the
Sabbath. They think of that day in
different terms from every other day.
II they have children they give them
a more or less indefinite notion that
Sunday is to he different from every
other day. The difficulty for the chill
dren begins when they inquire just
how and why it is to be different.
The careless family makes it lazy
day, the half-and-half family makes it
an uneasy day, the Carefree ones make
1t a holiday.
The usual child rises on Sunday
morning with the same Unsuitable de-
sire for action, for something happen
ing, for something to do, as on every
other day But the atmosphere is con-
fused. His family are out of routine
order. the neighbors are going TO
church or to picnic. Nobody has any
special use for him. The Sunday
school fills the gap.
First there is a group of children
doing something together, even II il
is only waiting Tor the belated teacher.
Then there is the music and the talk
ing and the going to and fro, and he
is part of il all. The fact that he
has text to prepare. that he has his
clothes to make ready and himself to
make ready give an interest to an
otherwise ShiftlesS week end. If you
stop to think how many Sundays are
passed drearily by d child who has
been left home when the others went
out, who had nothing to do that he
was allowed to do. who stood at the
window with fattened nose to the
pane, you will agree that he would
have been better employed in Sunday
school.
And, sad to say, Sunday school is
about the only place where a child
can learn about God in this speeding
generation. There is nobody at home
who has time to tell Bible stories and
explain texts. There is no one who
sets aside a quarter of an hour of an
evening to read over a. psalm and read
it again and again until it is part of
the child's thinking. Only the very
old-fashioned people have time for
that And, of course. their children so

and stiff with the pride of new clothes
Those clothes are "A part of Sunday

get. 1t is not a bad idea, is it, that
one dress up TO so to the house of
God to learn about His ways? Dress
