HOLIDAY SUGGESTION! TO THE PIANO BUYING PUBLIC. QNLY A FEW DAYS REMAIN until Christmas, and we would suggest that you call at the uew piano store first door north of the Everett & Hite grocery and receive a piano or organ at about one-half its real value. Could anything l>e more appropriate for a Christmas present? We are offering a piano the class and character of which no honest man can call in question. A piano that that is used and endorsed by the leading musicians of the world. A piano that is fully guaranted by the manufacturer who is perfectly responsible. The factory prices we advertised tor ten days will be extended to Christmas. After which our regular retail prices will be charged. A. J. KINDLE, Manufacturer’s Agent. LOST HIS NERVE. Why It Was That Big Pete Failed to Hit the Sheriff. There were thirty men in the White Wolf saloon when the sheriff of Silver county sauntered in to arrest big Pete Thompson for murder. Pete was playing a hand in a game of poker, and after nodding to him the sheriff stood up at the bar and called for a drink. His back was scarcely turned when Pete laid down his cards, pulled his gun and tired six shots as fast as his finger could pull the trigger. The sheriff never moved. When the smoke had rolled out of the open door and we could see, the sheriff stood in the same position and wore the same smile. One bullet had burned his cheek; a second had grazed his ear; a third had cut through his shirt collar under the left ear. Big Pete was a dead shot, and yet he had missed his man at fifteen feet.

“(Jot through. Pete?" asked the sher iff. breaking a silence that was positively painful. "And you—you are not heeled!” gasped Pete as liis arm sunk slowly down. "No; come on.” “You didn't bring your guns?” "No; if you are through shooting, we'll go.” Pete laid his two guns down on the table before him and walked to the door and out into the street. His horse was tied to a post a block away. He reached the horse, mounted and then headed down the long street after the sheriff, who was giving him not the slightest attention. In five miuutes the pair were out of sight. "What ailed Pete'." was asked of the barkeeper, who nad come to the door of the saloon. "Lost his nerve," be brusquely replied. "How do you menu?" “Why, the sheriff coming without a gun and standing there to lie shot at took all bis sand away and made a woman of him.” “Suppose the sheriff had bad a gun?" The man jerked his head toward the field wh -relit fifteen or twenty victims had hem buried and said; "He'd 'a' bin over thar.” "And will big Pete get clear?" “Likely; but he'll have to leave here. The boys have already put him down as N. G.” WAVES OF WATER. The Nile is the only river in the world that flows for l.'-X) miles without a tributary. Off the Cape of Good Hope waves thirty-eight feet high from trough to crest have been noted. Prismatic lake, in the Yellowstone National park, is the largest body of hot v. n;er in the world. Three rivers as big ns the Rhine would just equal in volume the Ganges, three (Jangeses the Mississippi and two Mississippi* the Amazon. The St. Lawrence river Is frozen four months of the year, and its navigation is so dltUeult that an average of one steamer a month is wrecked in its waters. Askel Chin, In Tibet, is the hike which Iles at n greater height than any other In the world, its level Is lli/XX) feet. The lowest Is the Dead sea, 1,200 feet below the sea level Not All Reformed. At n dinner given by a philanthropist, to the Society of Reformed Criminals a gentleman complained to his host mid way through the festivities that he had lost bis watch. The host was a man of great ingenuity. He caused all the lights to be turned out. Then lie observed; “Some one here has a watch that does not belong to him. If by the time 1 have counted a hundred It Is not placed on the floor In the middle of the room, the police will be sent for.” He counted a hundred, and the lights were turned on again. Thirty-three handsome watches lay In the middle of the ■oom. Speedlnw the Vni-tlng. Mamma-I was surprised and shocked by the coldness with which you greeted Miss Boot' an: when she called.

R INDIAN TRADING. The Way to Rent the Red Man Down In IHn Prlcea. “Few white men know how to trade with an Indian,” remarked a Denver man who has made a study of Indians for ten years past. “I once met an Indian with a magnificent mountain lion skin. He was willing to part with the ornament, but his price was too high. I offered him $12.50, but he Indignantly refused. Later, on the same day, after I had learned to trade with an Indian, 1 bought the skin for $1.50. "The secret of trading with the Indian is to appear indifferent. The most successful trader Is the one who goes with a supply of the same article he Is most desirous of buying. The Indian sees that the stranger has had experience, and negotiations are carried on upon a strictly business basis. An Indian refused $lO for a bow and arrow. It was bought for $1 by a man who carried several liows and arrows In his hand. This wily individual leased the supply from a store In order to impress his copper colored friends, and he succeeded. “The Indian," said the speaker, telling of traits of character he has observed in his red friends, “is one of the most faithful followers in the world if he has confidence in you. If he takes a liking to you, there is nothing you can ask he will not do. If he dislikes you, the less you have to do with that Indian the better."--Rocky Mountain News. Transmigration. “So dey convicted dat feller dat was swinging a high society b uff so as to lift jewelry.” said Plodding Pete. "Yes.’ answered Meander.i.g Mike “He’s got his prison clothes on now. Dey’ve changed him from a social lion into a zebra "—Washington Star.
