" Te Sell Preferred Slkek. > The Indiana & Michigan Electric company asked the public service commission for authority to. issue $300,.000 of preferred stock. The petition says the proceeds would reimburse the company’s treasury for money already spent on-improvements.

THINGS THE BOYS LONG FOR Younqeiers Prefer Toys or Contriv: - andes to Test Their Muscular Sikiil or Endurance. ; W HAT shall be sald of that blunderlng Xindness. of home folk that’' cocsidgers giving the boy only presests of such things as he actually needs? It is an outrage upon the spirit of Christmas to present him with new shoes, ties, handkero™ efs—soinething that he knows he will get anyway—when his sleeping and waking dreams for weeks before have been illed with vislons of tops, balls, guns and roagic lapnterns, says Maud Souders in the Woman'’s Home Companfon. The mos: beautiful knitted muffler woman's fingers ever constructed cannut combare with a jack-knife with rour bledes avd a cork-screw attachment, when exhibited over: the back fence > a ncighbor boy on Christmas worning. ' . Very soon after the days of kilts a hoy reaches the ¢ when he yearns with his whole soul after any tuy or contrivance that will test his muscular skill or endurance. At this age an appropriate present would be a rawhide or rope lariat, such as 18 used by the Buffalo Bill riders. A pair of ban? or arm stilts will be received with equal favor, and in the same category: comes a new fishing rod, snow shoes, tennis racket, golf clubs, » good ball, lamp or cyclometer for his wheel, or even a llve pet, a new dog, a pa'r of rabbits or guinea pigs—something that he can pet and train {or his own.

- * Funny Christmas Habit. There s not a drug store, cigar shop or barroom in the larger cities which has not ‘¢en made the storage room for lhstennas presents bought before the rush sets in. The strange part of it is the: wvery man who utilizes the friendshig of his favorite place round the corner thinks he_is the only one who thought of the plan. Realizing that the stores will be crowded, many far-sighted heads of familles bought their presents a week In advance, and then, fearing the nature of the mysterious package would be discovered at the office or at home, they hit upon the device of making a cache in some resort near home, i

Do not be tempted, even by cheap offers, to go miles away, for counting car fares, packing, expresaage and lost time, the ultimate cost Is very likely to be more than if you psid a good deal higher price at home. Of course it may happen that one grower or florist has a large stock of some one thing and can-sell at a low rate. but dealers usually have an understanding with one another espectally regarding boliday prices, and for wecks before the hollday season they have been balancing stock with each other, so that the better quality plants are of an almost fixed value.
