DEAR SIR:

We begin next Monday to take our annual Inventory, and we would rather close out the balance of our heavy weight goods than invoice them. We have sent you by express today a sample garment each of the balance of our stock of men’s suits, men’s pants and men’s overcoats, so also a sample of boys’ and childrens' goods of all kinds. We have put upon them prices that you can readily see are about fifty cents on the dollar as compared with what you have ever paid for this same class of goods. We give you the first opportunity, believing that you can use all of it. In any event, you have the choice. We must hear from you by return mail, for if you are not interested, we have other customers who will gladly avail themselves of the opportunity. You will understand that these prices are to close the lots, and while some of them are large lots, the prices are so small as will make you wish that the lots were larger. Awaiting your reply by return mail, we are,

Very truly,

Rabbits are not so liable to in jure trees where there are other small plants, such as young grape vines or nursery stock in the immediate vicinity of the orchard, as they seem to delight in cutting off the young tender branches in prefereneeof gnawing the bark of older trees. It is always safe, however, to protect the trees, and a favorit? method is to wrap the trunks with closely woven wire screen, such as is used lor screen doors. This may be cut into strips eighteen inches to two teet in length and wide enough to completely encase the body of the tree. These may be tacked on or the edges woven together, and if they do not fit too closely, may be left on for several years. Instead of the wire screen, ordinary roofing tin is sometimes used. Sheathing paper is also used with good effect, placed on the tree

method is to wash the trunks of the trees with blood or rancid grease. This, however, is liable to be washed off by rains, and would need renewal several times during the winter. By giving this matter immediate attention, much damage to our young orchards may be pre-

KvaiiKfliat Hoy«r Clinnus Ins Ht-nreis widi Pmmuation of (loaprl Truths. In the proclamation of eternal truth Evangelist T. A. Boyer is a prince of eloquent speakers. Nightly he is greeted at the Christian church by large and interested audiences. His intense earnestness, matchless oratory, transcendent conception of the gosoel and pathetic simplicity in its portrayal, adds a new charm to the old old story. The theme last evening “The three phases of the Gospel, promise, fact and monument,” was unique in its construction and sym metrical in form yet concealing no single one of the thousand silytr threads of truth woven into the texture of his sermon. In elaboration of the theme of the morning Evangelist Boyer sa'd: “Gxl’s methods were not instantaneous but gradual. He referred to the old testament us containing many prophecies of the coming Redeemer provisional in their nature; 4.V2 were claimed l>y Tertullius. God's purpose would have been defeated had be poured all his spiritual light upon the world at once. The death of Christ was a stupendous fact. Men read it with interest. The burial of Christ was a second fact. All have stood by the grave side of loved ones. But the taking hold of the band of Christ is being lifted up. The resurrection -if Christ is the final fact of the gospel, so we have the entire gospel in monument. Monuments are universal. The Lord's supper is a monument of the death of Chr'st, baptism

of his burial.”

The speaker introduced strong figures and historical facts in illustration of his theme, with ready and harmonious applications, he referred to the death of Josephine of France and William Orange with touching pathos. Many in the audience manifest-d deep interest. hi the meeting and were moved by the speaker’s earnest and clear presentation. Last night the church was again crowded and Mr. Boyer was al his best, delivering one of his most telling sermons on -‘Sin and its Cute.” This meeting is unlike an ordinary reviyal. Mr. Boyer claims to be a student and a teacher. He looks the one and his works show that he is pre-eminently the other. Tonight he talks on “How to Study the Bible with reference to the Forgiveness of Sins.” Why not gel a nice dress pattern of l.angdon for a Christmas gift, lie would let you have it sooner if you wanted it.

Obituary. “The Stiver cord ts loosened. The golden bowl is broken.” Another one of Christ’s little ones has been called home. On Nov. 21, of membranous croup died Beulah, little daughter of Charley and Eva Crosby, aged three years, eight months and eleven days. Thus pass away earth’s dearest ties, leaving loved ones to mourn over sorrows untold by anything but tears and heartfelt sighs. Beulah was a child of beauty and sweetness winning tbe love of all who knew her, butshe is gone—vacant is her little chair—silent her sweet childish prattle as she repeat* “Good night, j*ptt,’’ “Good night mamma, and little brother.” “We’ll all meet again in the morning.” DcarcHt llciilah, thou lumt left us And thy loss we deeply feel. But 'tls God who has bereft us. He can all our sorrows heal. Loving parents and little brother, your little one has left you and your hearts aie bowed down with sorrow too deep for utterance, but rest assured she has gone back to the bosom of Him who said, “Stifi'er little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” “O. strive to prepare for that tiapyy chfme.

As a Christmas gift for a young lady a roll of wallpaper or A ROLL OF THUNDER is less appreciated and less acceptable than A MUSIC ROLL designed for carrying sheet music. The roll comes in both cylindrical and fiat patterns, is useful, handsome and of great durability, being made of leather and sealskin. In view of the approaching holidays this is a hint thrown out to the wise, the otherwise and the weatherwise.

These ears are the finest that have ever been turned out of the Pullman shops, and are duplicates of the magnificent ears on the New York and Chicago Limited. They are divided into nine rooms, each room containing a double lower and upper berth of tbe pattern used in the open sleeping ear. The rooms are much larger than the. staterooms in the largest steamships; each room being furnished in a different colored tapestry fioin its neighbor, and containing a wash-stand which is built into one corner. This wash-stand is arranged so that it is really a receptacle for hats, bonnets and small articles; also containing a clothes brush, nair brush, comb, etc., and by pulling down the metal handle a large silver wasli basin is brought into position, ami right above the basin are two faucets, one for hot and the other for cold water, in addition to this is a faucet connecting with a drinking fountain of ice water. In the other corner of the room is a handsomely cushioned sent which can lie turned to one aide, exposing the closet. Electric hells and every convenience tiiat can possibly be crowded into a hotel room are in these compartments.
