close of the war, he reaigned, and retlred to
a buaineas life tn Philadeipbla rlrst as a
salesman, and later as a mauufacturer of
furniture. His deatb was caused by
Brtght's dlsease. He left a wife and tbree
sons. Wben the fact tbat he could live but
a short tlme was made known to him, lt
came witb surprise, but waa met with tbe

Christmas Only 16 Days Away
WHERE is the young man or young woman who would
not be pleased with a beautiful Gold Watch at just this
season of the jear, if the case was pretty and the watch a fine
timekeeper? We can supply the want.
WE all love rings. Ring out the old year! Ring in the
new! It is not necessary to get an expensive Ring to
procure a handsome Ring. Call and be convinced.
APIECE of Hand-Decorated China, a Mantel Clock, or an
Opera Glass will fill a long-felt want.
THEN the many useful Sterling Silver Novelties in Tooth
Brushes, Key Rings, Nail Files, Key Chains, Stamp Boxes,
Nail Brushes, Nail Polishexs, Button Hooks, Glove Buttoners,
Paper Knives, Letter Openers, Emerys, etc, etc, are useful,
ornamental, and at the same time are not expensive. Our
assortment is complete.
COLD-HEADED and Silver-Mounted Canes should not
be forgotten. Children always delight in a Silver Cup,
Knife, Fork and Spoon, or Napkin Ring. It will be a pleasure
to have you look my stock of goods over.
IN making a trip through the country now a-days, one needs
a Camera to bring back with him the beauties of nature.
They are so simple that a child can operate them. They will
enliven the hours of the long winter evenings, and fill the long
summer days with joy. The price places them within the reach
of all. We would be pleased to show them to you.
