ing that it is now assured that the
Tories will suffer their third successive'
defeat in the present election, llio
Liberal presa to-uay sounds a warn
ing that the defeated Hide plans a
renewal of its obstructionist methods
in the next Parliament.
The Trader, chief organ of the
Liberals, says: "Then is a di-sperute
plot afoot. Foreseeing certain osteal,
the Tories plan to dispute th* new
Parliaments authority. Lord Hose
berry. who is the peer's real leader is
against the people. It is another <}uy

In the face of three adverse elections,

The Conservatives gain in yester

Christmas Morning!
Stockings filled to overflowing by
jolly old Santa Claus; packages
to open, amid pearls of Merry
laughter, screams of delight as one after another each present Is
brought into view. Excitement and pleasure shines in every eye.
“Merry Christmas!” is the watch-word, and “Peace on earth, good
will to men,” is the keynote of this day of days.
In every home some expression of the holiday spirit is manifest—
a rag doll and home-made trinkets, or pretentious presents that rep
resent the expenditure of much money all are promoted by love and
kindly feeling. Each one gives and receives, and there’s happiness
and joy for all.
In many homes the happiest moment is when the whole family
gathers about some present in which each has a personal interest,
one that will be the medium through w hich the happiness of Christ
mas morning will be continued for years to come.
It may be that you have for a long time wanted just such a
present in your home—a Piano, an INNER PLAYER or a Victor, and
if so, why not come to the Cable Christmas Sale and select it now?
Never in our seventeen years of business in Richmond has the
Cable Piano Company had a larger, more complete or varied sto.k
from which you may choose. New Pianos from $149.00 up. Used
Pianos, in splendid condition, from $75.00 up. INNER-PLAYER
Pianos, the musical marvel of the age. Victor Talking Machines
and Victrolas, Small Musical Instruments of all kinds; Violins,
Guitars, Banjos, etc.; Sheet Music, Music Books, Albums, Music
Cabinets —in fact, everything musical from which to select, at prices

chandise of the most reliable quality, and we bid you come NOW and
make ready for Christmas morning.
