Once in a year, near the end of the twelfth month,
there comes a Cert Night.. .It is a night of happy
thoughts cfdft a i'itivarT r.'-ornories.. .Little children
go all Loo soon to bed, and the kinaiy old Sandman delays
his coming, for a time at least, reluctant to interrupt
their childish hopes and fears.. .Grown up folks (for
grown folks have a strange habit of sitting up on such
important nights) tiptoe stealthy and creepy about the
house.
The litle empty stockings hang at the Chimney
Piece a dear little, quaint little stocking that is all to
small to hold the precious things the loving Saint will
bring before the dawn will break on Christmas morning
perhaps the litle stocking will be a bit larger at each
Christmastide, and hang alone. And in years to come,
others, and even tinier stocking will bear it company;
perhaps there will come a dreary time when the fireplace
is bare, when longing eyes turn away and the flickering
light will seem hard and cold. But no matter what the
years bring and take away, the spirit of friendship and
kindness remains. At the end of the busy year, full of
effort and struggle, comes the season when Tve forget the
tiUls and welcome the cpportuniti33 Trhcn viz count
our friends and find them many when we choose for
tjaem - remembrances (not hastily and because of their
cost, but because of the pleasure they will bring) when
we realize to the full that life is worth the living because
for once it' is unselfish.
"The wories of the season." If this store may play
its part during the trying days that lie between now and
Christmas Eve; if it may lighten the strain of your purse
(for everybody's is too small at that time) ; if by perfect,
unasuming service and supbefb assortment for your choos
Ing it may help to keep the puzzle wrinkles from your
forhead, it will have done all that we have hoped and plan
ned for it to do.
Gifts from every market in the world are here de
lirfctJj, inexpensive cnos for those who must closely
reckcr. the incomings r.::d the outgoings superbly rich
ones for those who need not count the cost. We have
arranged them conveniently for your inspection our
sales force will find no effort too great if it helps yclj, in
your selections. ,
For Christmas in all that the word means this
store is ready. - '

the original entries were made and all
other data, were brough ashore.
The box was closely followed by
Walter Lonsdale, Dr. Cook's "secretary

Beaver Creek water will not be run
through the mains this evening, and
it may not be done until tomorrow
night, though it is hoped to have the
project completed by noon.'
Failure to get some needed bolts
to connect up the final Joints, Is all
that stands in the way of releasing the
water. While "water may be turned
into the mains tomorrow, it Is hardly
likely that the project will be declar
ed ready for the city inspectors for
two or three days yet. The city will
thoroughly Inspect the project ' be
