SHOES
Gifts
Make Sensible
Christmas
Christmas giving is rapidly becoming more practical.
The bestowal of useless gimcracks upon friends and relatives
is usually unappreciated and people are beginning to recognize
that such things are money and good intentions thrown away.
Give; but give something useful and sensible.
Under the head of useful, sensible, practical, sure-to-be-appreciated
gifts is a pair of shoes. The popular way of
giving them is to present one of our "Shoe Orders" so that
the recipient can select the style and fit to suit.
There is nothing ordinary about giving shoes. The one
who gets an order will usually select a pair of Shoes for dress
occasions.
SHOES FOR WOMEN
Anticipating a big Holiday business we have a splendid
assortment of women's shoes. Dainty shapes and leathers
for dress and house wear, and stronger and sturdier kinds.
SHOES FOR MEN
Men, even more than women, are pleased with a practical
gift. A pair of dancing pumps, a pair of dress shoes ; or even
shoes for ordinary wear, are sure to suit.
If he loves horseback riding give him a pair of
RIDING LEGGINS
We have the largest assortment in the city. It consists
of English and American putties, oil grain and cow-hide
cowboy leggins, dark tan cap spring leggins, etc.
Also: we have fine tramping and outing shoes for men,
women and children.
INFANTS' AND CHILDREN'S SHOES
Children often get so many toys as to be bewildering to
their little minds. Give them shoes. We have pretty little
pumps and shoes of every description.

Mr. Merrill Talks About
Examiner's Vicious
Falsehood.
C. F. Merrill is back in Honolulu--where
he was in thf employ of the
I. -I. S. N. Co. for some time last year
after a dab at fickle fortune in th.
Orient this time coming from San
Francisco. He intends going into bus
iness here, having material therefor
coming in the Alameda. Mr. Merrill
is the guest of Captain Dalton at Cas
tle Maintop, 10th avenue, Palolo tract.
To an Advertiser man he addressed
himself in breezy fashion thus:
"Yes, I have got back home again
after a three months' visit to the burn
ed city, and let me tell you that no
I sight has ever seemed so grand to my
I eyes as did old Diamond Head loom
i tag up in the rain this morning. When
I left Honolulu I had half a notion to
j make my home in California, having
i severed my connection with the I. -I.
j S. N. Co., but, after three months ot
I climbing over tangled up iron, brick
i and timbers, backed up by severe cold
weather, it was me for the haven 01
rest and perpetual summer, and it's
here I am going to stay 'till they blow J
that horn.' To make this resolution.
more secure, I am going out to the
cemetery Monday and buy me a lot.
' I have not said much about Hono- j
lulu while away. I have only talked
; about it on two occasions, at my meal
I and between meals. Some of my
fr iends and even relations didn't
speak to me for days at a time. They
I said they did not like to interrupt me.
At any rate, I know of three parties
I have got started for here, or at least
they are headed for this way, and w&
1 will pray that they get here before
their money fades away. I know they
have got some money, for I played
several games of poker with them.
"Say. you don't happen to know thot
R'.ab-sided chump that started that
story regarding the sinking of thesa
inlands, do you? Well, if it originated
in the diminutive think-box of an
person down this way, such person
should be taken out to some vacant
lot and surrounded with large gobs or
sadness.
"The story itself appeared in the
Examiner on the morning before I left
San Francisco, and every person who
knew me, or even knew that I was
about to return home, came to cah
on me and tell me that these islands
had sunk. But I kept coming just the
same and would have kept coming
even if I knew that there was nothing
sticking above water but the top ot
Punchbowl. I did not notice any great
change of the coast line as we came
in this morning, and I do hope that we
won't sink so fast but what there wih
be enough of Oahu above water ton
Jack London to find when he cornea
along, because he is not exactly a
coal-oil conflagration on the art ot
navigation, and then he may want to
buy a shave."

Other Presents for Smokers
Take notice that a man smokes because he en
joys it. Anything you give him in the smoking line
adds so much to his pleasure. As he lapses into re
veries over pipe or cigar, think how frequently the
donor of a pleasing addition to his smoking room is
gratefully remembered. Anything you give in the fol
lowing line will touch him in the right spot.
We especially solicit trade from the ladies who are
looking for suitable gifts for men. Here are a few
suggestions:
