Mr. Gillette prepared a second statement, when the defects In the first were discovered, and certified to Its accuracy, which statement now stands unchallenged.

Tbe controversy that has arisen over conditions of the city recorder's records and the conduct of the office forcibly brings to mind the contrast as to such. Shall It be a clerical po sition, purely, as it has been of late, or admlnlHtrative and Judicial, as contemplated by tbe charter? Without regard to present candi dates, the Tidings believes the office of recorder should have at its head more than a bookkeeper, more than an accountant a broad, all-around biiusiness man to handle this, the city's main office.

The one perplexing question that racks the brain of most every Christmas gift giver at this time is what "shall I give. The question1 seems to to get up with you in the morning and go to bed with you at night. You don't want to slight Uncle or Aunt, you won't slight Father or Mother, then there's Grand mother and Grandfather and you must get some thing for Brother or Sister. Then there are a few friends you muet remember. How to spread the glad Christmas joy to every one seems to be your greatest trouble at this time. Of course if your puree is filled to overflowing the expenditure of a few extra dollars don't worry you at all. But there are many whose purse strings are limited and who have to figure closely so that no one will be slighted on Cnristmas day. It is to those this store offers its service.
