Further rnilrond construction work, in addition to the first 140 miles west of Vnlo, depends in a largo measure on tho settling up of tho interior country. When Judgo It. S.

And then, too, you raise his opinion of you just another bit higher when you present him with sohicthing practical and sensible something ho would buy for himself. , Every time he wears tho Scarf, the Shirt, or the Shoes or the Cravat or the Slippers, or the Hose or the Suspenders, or the Gloves which you gave him, he thinks of you. Every time some friend speaks a word of admiration for" the gift you made him, it brings a happy recollection of you. Every time he sees the ornamental, pcrhaps,but unusoful gift of someone else, he unconsciously remembers you for your practical, 'useful and scnsiblo gift of something to WEAR. So when you select a present for "him, "remember, anon are practical. " They cherish the memory of a practical, usef til gift, but soon forget the oppo site kind. And make your present to "him" something ho will really like better than all the other gifts he receives let it be something he can wear.
