HOLIDAY TRADE
HAS BEEN GOOD
Hj Buyers Selected Belter

Their Business Early
in Season.
Collections Good and Money Easy
Real Estate Market Is in a
Healthy Condition.
H The. holiday trading season, which vlr-
H tnallv closed last night, was probably the
R most successful one that Salt Lake mer-
H chants have ever had. The big stores
H which handle jrcneral hollduy lln-s re-
H port business for the last week before
H Christmas considerably bolter than for
H the same week last year, the excess In
H volume in favor of the present season be-
1 lug variously estimated from 10 to 35 per
H cent. The largest gains are reported by
the stores which curry from the medium
H to the best grades of goods. In general
there has been more buying of the better
H grade and higher-priced goods this year
M than last year, showing conclusively that
H money Is comparatively plentiful with all
H classes,
Purchases Made Early.
H In th lines not so directly or considera-
H bly nfTVctcd by holiday trading business
H has been about the same us last year
K ' Sume of the leading eli.lhlng Mores en-
H Joved an unusually heavy business durli.g
H the early liart of the holldaj season, and
H in fact, up to the beginning of the late
H storm period, whin, contrary to the gen-
H f-rul rule, trade dropped off appreciably.
H This Is accounted for only by the' fact
H that the holiday trading in this line must
H have been done earlier than usual. The
B dry goods and department stuns hiul a
H Steady, even trade right uy to Christinas
B Wholesale business has continued
H strong, with unusually heavy huslm ss in
H produce lines. Collections an good and

H reasonable rates oil any good security

H Stuns on hand seeking real cstuie loans

Real Estate Market
H In real estate little is expected to be
H done during the holiday season, but the

CAR INJURES
AGED JURIST
Judge Merrill Is the
Victim.
Now Lying at Holy Cross
Hospital in a Critical
Condition.
Advanced Age of the Patient Makes
the Outcome Doubtful His
Dlating-uished Career.
As a reeajlt r.f Injuries sustained last
eveniiiK by being struck by a street car,
at thf corner of South Temple, anrl State
streets. Judge Samuel A. Merrltt Is now
lying at tho Holy Cross hospital In a criti
cal condition. His Injuries consist of a
deep Rush on the right side of his head,
a severe contusion over tho right eye, a
deep cut In one hand and a number of
bruises on different parts of tho body
Th.ro Is also a possibility that Internal
Injuries were receive. I.
Stood Near the Track.
The Occident happened about 6 o clock
;ls the Judge was standing near tho track
waiting for n car. As near as can be
learned tho front end of the car had
passed film. !lh t- ira. k makes a .uie
at that point and the mpposdtlon Is that
ho was struck by tho side of the, coarh
when It made the turn.
A number who witnessed tho nrold.nt
me-hi, to his assistance nr.l picked up the
bruised and mud-bespattered form. The
unfortunate man was carried Into Or.
Xlh s s residence across the street The
wounds about the head snd face wero
bleeding profusely, and ns there was no
sign r.f returning consciousness for fullv
half mi hour the report gained circulation
that he had been Instantly killed.
Taken to the Hospital.
About 7 o'clock, ufter the wounds had
be, n dressed and everything possible don
to mak.- the Judge comfortable, he ;1s
removed to the Holy 'r..ss hospital in the
ambulance

Altu lists. ..t whl.-h Institution he v.., t
chartei member .md he had just left the
building when the accident happened, in
speaking of his injuries and nance r..r
recovery, Dr. N'lles said:
Dr. Niles's Opinion.
"Tho Judge Is 77 years old, and while ho
Is extremely vigorous for one of his years,
there Is always danger when a man of
that age sustains such a terrible phoi k
He is not only badly bruised about the
head and body, but he may be. and prob
ably Is, Injured Intornallv can but
hope f.,r the best, and I would not caro
to say positively that he will or will not
recover As far as the contusion over hit
eye Is concerned. 1 do not think It will
affect his sight, although it Is quite h. -vere."
Was Once in Congress.
Judge Merrltt Is well known throughout

WORK OF 1
Utah Artists I
As Seen by Various Members I
of The Tribune Staff. 2
By the Cynic.
I went to the exhibit of tho Rocletv of
Utah Artists CO see If ll wum "trim art." I
como away auklng. "What Is Iruo art?"
The purpnso of art is to giv., pleasure:
All that gives plefisure Is not art, but all
that is on gives pleasure. The bartender
who can mix a cocktail that wafts the
drinker In a fleecy cloud of roseate light
to the Garden of the Hesperldes la as
much an artist ns the palnlcr who, with a
few strokes of the brush, conveys the he
holder to the same destination.
The truest an Is thai which gives tho
most en, luring pleasure. Tin pleasure ie
rlved from the cocktail Is ephemeral In- .
deed as compared with the UlOUghtflJ 'uul
memories Induced h ih great picture.
Is there a picture at the art exhibit
which will shine on undlmmed In the gal
lery of memory for weeks or years'' One
or two. perhaps. Is there a picture thai
win open to the universe-exploring
thought a new world of knowledge a pos
sible clew to tin shadowy vastnesses of
Truth through which sc grape? Not one
I like that picture by Air. Harwood of
tho little girl blowing soap bubbles I
wondered If the huhble would grow any
bigger without bursting and when anyono
wonders that the bubble must be a pr. tr.
good representation of the real thing And
tho little girl Is OS real as the bubble
Mr. Harwood Is especially happy In
painting children. His own are shown In
the Utile painting called "An Interesting
Story." Onu can realize that the story Is
Interesting I was sorry 1 could not libtcn,
too, and write It up for tho paper.
Tho largest picture In the collection.
"Un Bon Regal." in very Instructive .It
teaches us that the humble Italian tul
mlrably conceals his Joy, If he feole any,
ut getting a gitod meal. To Judge from
tho disconsolate expressions of tho dlnors
they had been accustomed to eating truf
lles und pate do foe gras und felt that
they could ncv.-r again face their friends
after making a rneal on ordinary spa
ghetti Th. picture Is Interesting for It
rets one to wondering how woebegone the
family would look If compelled to sit down
to a poor meal.
Speaking of the landscapes! I suppose
they are art They must give pleasure to
some one tho artist who paints them, If
no other. Rut who wn-nts to go to an art
gallery to seo scenery when ull tho out
doors Is full of it? l noticed ono picture
which 1 loi.k for a picture of a negro
stroking a black cat In a dark cellar at
midnight, but found, on consulting the
catalogue that it represented "Evening
In the Woods."
I was templed to llnd fault with The
Rising Moon. Brittany." The moon did
not look go.sl to me. Rut the criticism
may have been unjust. 1 have never been
to Brittany and they may havo a moon
there that looks like fried egg straight
up." At any rate I would rather keep the
mo.n we have In I 'tan than take chances
on an Importation. The same artist has
given us a more pleasing picture In tho
"Cottage Homo, Brittany." Tho moon is
brand new und Irreproachable. It Is a
ti ii that anyone would be willing to
have In his own back yard. The lonely
thatched OOttJoge Is tuken from such an
angle that one can see the light front the
Window, but not Into the house Tho
things that might ! seen through that

ROBBERS RODE IN RIG.
Burglary Conducted on a Business
Basis Near Muiray.
While Gust Peterson and family, who
reside on the State road, near Murray,
were In Suit Lake attending tho theater
Friday evening, their house was burglar
ized and J3U In cash was taken from Its
hiding place Mr. Peterson arrived about
11:S0, Just In time to seo a man emerge
from the house. Jump onto the hind end of
a top buggy In which his two pals wero
Seated, and drive off. The vehicle was
drawn by a largo black horse Ho fol
lowed them for a short distance, but at
last gave up the chase and notltlod tho
Mi.rlti's ..ft.. i 1 1 1 1 1 i h Sharp and Ho
wards were detailed on the case.
The money had been placed on the par
lor stand, und. ru. ath a table co er, and
Peterson Is of the belief that the man
who turned the trick wus aware that this
was the place where money was often
placed for safe keeping by members of
the famlH'. In addition to the cash, a
gold watch, Elgin movement, was token,
nnd all of the clothing In the house luol
been gathered together preparatory to be
ing moved to eome remote spot by the
burglars. When Mr. Peterson appeared
on the scene the wearing apparel was
dropped In one of the rooms In a heap and
the men drove off. Aside from the In
formation furnished by the members of
the family, there Is at present no clue to
work on.
