Only ten days more and the glad holiday wi’l be here, its all right to remember the folks and the family, your best girl and the others, but have you ever tried taking a little portion of that money and giving to some poor and lonely person. It’s a fact that such a gift will brighten your heart more than all the other gifts you bestow, because it's a worthy deed. Try it this year. The business value of courtesy and pleasant address can not be over-esi-mated. No matter what the occupation, the person who greets the customer with a smile and* an interested manner is preferred to the one who; is dull or forbidding. Every person feels this in all business transactions., We will much more readily patronize! an establishment where we are wel-| corned with a smile and an interest is manifested in our wants than one in which the clerks apparently are indifferent to our trade.

HE HAS REVIVED Pete- Russell Recovers With No Bad Effects—Was Surprised. TO AWAKE IN TAIL Sa vs He Does' Not Know What He Drank But “It Tasted Good." Peter Russell, who Tuesday noon frightened a great many of the Decatur citizens by drinking an unknown green substance from a green bottle, immediately becoming limp and helpless so that he was taken to the jail and given medical attention, has revived with no ill effects, and was released about 11 o'clock today and sent on his way rejoicing. He lay in a stupor the greater part of yesterday afternoon, but towards the latter part of the day awoke, much surprised to find himself in that place, but ready for a good hot supper. He stated to Sheriff Meyer that he had found the bottle in a woodshed behind a former saloon building. He said that he pulled the cork and tasted the liquid and didn't know what it was, but that it tasted “pretty good.” so drank the rest. In about twenty minutes he said his head began to whirl “round and round" and he knew nothing more until he awoke late in the afternoon in the jail. As Mr. Russell, who must by this time be a connoisseur in drinks, was unable to tell what the liquor was. it would be illy fitting that an amateur should express his opinion of the matter, so the least said the better. This morning, however, the little left in the broken bottle that was picked up had evaporated, leaving the inference that alcohol was the chief constituent. The odor as of anise or cardway, however, remained, and those who’, know think that it may fife a brand of whiskey called “Kummel” whiskey, which is made from carawayseeds.
