Discount, or Commission
("All others do to a greater or less extent")

the charge system and refusing to tax one class to compen
sate for the discount and commissions of another, make it
. easy for us to undersell competition-and we do. Our
prices for holiday presents are frequently half what' others
charge. .

ON SCAFFOLD

Christmas is but a few hours ahead
and those that have not already
completed their Xmas shopping should
make arrangements to do so as soon
as possible as the choice articles are
rapidly disappearing-and later comes
the rush which makes careful buying
almost impossible.
Our assortment of holiday presents
this season is now complete and better
arranged than any previous season
and the prices; well they will speak for
themselves.

the Iosb of little sums that the ubi
quitous Mr. Fisher failed to pay be
fore bis sudden departure. Among
tho mourners is M. M. Long, the
sporting goods man. A few hours
before Mr. Fisher flitted he entered
Mr.- Long's establishment and asked
for n revolver, A lot was shown
him, and selecting one that partic
ularly suited his taste the music man
cloned tile trade, saving ho would
Isottle the bill In a tow duys. The gun
probably rests snugly and safely tn
Mr. Fisher's hip pocket now, stand
ing gunrd over bis person by day and
keeping a silent vigil under his pillow
nt night, but It Isn't paid for, and It
it over Is Mr. Long will greet the ap
pearance of the ensh with one of
those grand smiles such as light up
a small boy's face when he cuts open
u watermelon.
There Is said to be a woman In
tho Fisher case. In what way she fig
ures nobody seems to know. Mrs.
Fisher Intercepted a letter to her
husband from a Portland ninn'i wife.
It is said,. and then sent the letter
to the lady's husband. The story
goes on and avers Unit thlB husband
ws tho stranger who was In quest
of Mr. Fisher the night the muslo
man wns In such a dreadful hurry
to get out of town. What truth
there Is In the story cannot be told.
It Is one of the kind of stories thatk
If true, would be hard to prove, and
so It Is only given here ns hearsay,
und for whnt It may bo worth. It Is
in circulation to tho effect Hint before
she left Mrs. Fisher heard from her
absent husband, and that he U In
