CHRisTMAS 18 CoMING ! — Of course
this is nothing new, as every reader of the
WartcuMan has doubtless long been con-
templating this most cherished of all holi-
days—Christmas. The one day in all the
year when mankind should feel most
charitable and kindly disposed to all. Bat
it is not a sermon on the day or its sig-
nificance that we intend to preach. Every-
body koows that it is the day when the
giving of gifts reigns supreme. Awvd this
very fact in itself is the cause of great wor-
riment to hundreds of people, simply be-
cause they cannot made up their minds as
to just what they do want to give. The
firsts great problem to solve in the matter of
the hestowal of Christmas gifts, and it
really is the greatest task of all, is the
amount of money you can afford to spend
in this way. Don’t impoverish yourself or
don’t go in debt, for any gift no matter
bow small, if given from the heart, carries
with it the same spirit as ove of priceless
worth. Having decided bow much you
can afford to spend and the number of gifts
to buy then comes the selection of same,
and io this the WATCHMAN may be able to
help you.
‘Read the holiday advertisements in this
paper slosely and we can assare you that
in uve or more of them you will be able to
find all you will wants without going any
further. If your intended gifts include
avnythiog in
CLOTHING OR GENTS FURNISHING
you can get it as either M. Fauble & Son
or Montgomery & Co. Both stores carry a
full live of up to-date clothing for boys of
all ages and sizes, as well as men, while in
haberdashery and all kinds of gents furnish-
ing goods they cannot be surpassed. They
also carry a fall line of ambrallas for ladies
and gentlemen, an article that at all times
makes a most acceptable gift. Bat per-
haps it is something in the line of
DRY GOODS AND NOTIONS
you are looking for. If such is the case
make a visit to Lyon & Co’s complete store
and look over the fine display on their
counters and shelves and in their well
stocked show cases. You can find any-
thing in the above line there that yon can
find anywhere in town and at prices that
will just snit she Christmas purse.
It maybe that von have heen waiting
antil Christmas to buy your little boy or
girl a pair of shoes ; or perhaps father or
mother, or brother or sister a pair of slip
pers. If such is the case you cannot find a
more complete
LINE OF FOOT WEAR
in any town than you will find at the store
of Yeager & Davis, in the Bush Arcade.
They are always np to-date with the very
latest and their shelves have been filled
with goods especially for the holiday trade.
Remarkable as it may seem more than
one-half the people when they contemplate
giving a gift turn at ounce to
SILVERWARE AND JEWELRY.
Aud vo wonder, because there is nothing
else that makes such an appropriate pres
ent. And, in addition, there is always
such an endless variety of things to pick
from. In order to be convinced of the
trath of this you have only to read the ad-
vertisement of F. P. Blair & Co., in this
paper then go to their store and see how
nice everything is. And they can always
suit you, both as to quality and price.
Even in the midst of gift giviug the
prudent housewife must give at least a
part of her time contemplating the
FIXIN'S FOR THE CHRISTMAS DINNER,
but she will need to worry very little if
she goes to Sechler & Co. There she can
get anything in the grocery line she will
need as well as everything necessary to go
with a turkey dinner.
There is another place yon don’t want to
overlook if yon are hunting for
FANCY NOVELTIES, ETC.,
and that is Green’s Pharmacy. Yon will
be astonished at the large and varied as-
sortment of holiday goods on exhibition
there. Io fact the list is too long to even
begin to enumerate the pretty things, so
you will just have to go aod see them for
yourself.
In the midst of all your gift giviog and
receiving remember that ‘‘she poor ye bave
with you always,”’ and that it is possible
there are families in Bellefonte who will
not be able to indulge in any gife-giviog
and may even not have the means to pro-
vide a good Christmas dinner; or may
perhaps have to shudder with the oold be-
cause they have not the means to keep
warm. If you know of any such and have
the means to do so, send them a sack of
flour from C. Y. Wagner's mill or a ton of
coal from Edward K. Rhoads’ yard. Is
will mean more to them than most any
other gilt yon could bestow.
Aud now if yon have read all the above
carefully we feel sure that you will be able
to make wise selections in the matter of
yoar gilts and we know that every adver-
tiser in the WATCHMAN will greatly ap-
preciate your trade.

——The two weeks or ten days prior to
Christmas will not be fraught with the
excessive turkey hustling matohes that
characterized the fortnight prior to Thanks-
giving, il burgess John I. Cartin adheres
to his dictum when he stopped the hustling
just before Thanksgiving day. Hustling
was then carried on to ench an extent thas
it was impossible for dealers or individuals
to get any turkeys at all. Certain people
iu Bellefonte bought all the turkeys they
could get hold of, paying as high as eigh-
teen cents a pound, then hustled them off
for anywhere from twenty to twenty-two
cents a pound. Of course it was a liitle
money in their pockets, and they could
not be blamed for their enterprise in under-
taking to make it, but unfortunately bos.
tling for turkeys isa form of gambling
prohibited by law and that is the reason it
wae stopped at the suggestion of the bur-
mess. And that is also the reason why
there is not likely to be any of it before
Christmas and consequently turkeys may
be plentier and cheaper.
Court CULLINGS.—In court last week
the case of W. F. Knopf, A. H. Knopf and
Adam L. Blazer, tradivg as Knopf Bros.
aud Blazer, vs. Charles Bilger, wasa notable
oue 50 far as the verdict was concerned.
The action grew oat of a dispute over the
measurement of lumber going over the mill
operated by the defendant, the plaintiffs
claiming that they had a contract to stock
defendavt’s mill at a certain price per
thousand, mill measure, and claimed thas
the defendant did not allow ail that was
dae them. Oa the other hand the defend-
ant asserted that the plaintiffs bad heen '
paid all that was due them aod that if
there was any claim at all it was doe him, |
the plaintiffs baving been overpaid. The |
jury took the laster view of the matter
also, and brougbt in a verdict for the de
fendant in the sum of 99 cents.
The first case called for trial this week
was that of Frank Samuel and Silas M.
Tomlison ve. she Bellefonte Furnace com-
pany. The case grew ont of a dispute as
to the amount of puddied fornace cinder
the plaintiffs were to ship to the defendant
company during the vear 1906 and the
amoont due them for same. The case was
on trial until noon on Tuesday when it was
amicably settled,
When the case of James Krebs, nse of
Bardine Batler, vs. 8. Kline Woodring,
administrator ad litem of William Heaton,
deceased, late of Boggs township, was call
ed for trial, the attorneys for the defense
moved to strike off the proceeding because
of irregular pleadings, and after some argu-
ment on both sides the court sustained
their motion. Mr. Butler was the plaintiff
in three actions similar toahove and they
were all stricken off for the same canse and
in order to give him a fair chance thecourt
suggested that he and the counsel for the
defense get together and agree on the plead-
ings on which subsequent action could be
brought but Burdine said ‘‘He'd be —if
he'd agree with them attorneys in any-
thing.”
The last case tried was that of A. W,
Gardner vs. Burdine Butler, an action in
tresspass to recover the value of a piece of
land, designated by the Pletcher survey.
Verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of
$74.42

AvutoMOBILE WRECKED. -Dr. M. J.
Locke may vow be regarded as an authority
on the fact that a man cannot allow his
mind to wander in other directions and
successfully ran an ansomobile. Op Fri-
day afternoon he was going east on How-
ard street in his Buick runabout and at
the same time was deeply pondering some
weighty eubjeot with the result shat he
did not keep in the middle of the street.
Opposite the side gate at the Humes prop-
erty is a hitohing post, standing perbap«
two feet outside the gutter. The doctor
bad forgotten the existence of this post and
baviug the storm curtains of his machine
down he failed to see iv and the firss thing
he knew the left front wheel struck the
post aud the machine was thrown arouad
onto the pavement.
When the doctor took an account of
stock be found the wheel practically
smashed to pieces, the axle bent aad the
fender bent, while his acetylene lamp was
knocked into many pieces. He telephon-
ed to the garage and workmen went to the
scene of the wreck and fixed the machine
up sufficiently to be hauled into the shop
for repairs. Dr. Locke claims that the
hitching post is forther out in the street
than he thought it was and thas is the rea-
son be ran into it. Be that as it may, the
collision was a pretty costly one as the
damage to the machine was easily one hun-
dred dollars.

HURT IN WRECK.—Monday and Taes-
days rains raised the waters in the Snsque-
hanna river to almost the flood limit and
caused considerable damage by the wash-
ing away of bridges, eto. On Tuesday af-
ternoon the big “‘traveler’” ou the second
span of the new iron bridge being built
across the Sasquehanna from Bloomeburg
to Mifflinville collapsed as the result of a
log being washed against the iron under-
structure and seven men were killed and
twelve injured. Among the latter was
Newton Danlap, son of county commis-
sioner Jobhu L. Dunlap, of this place, who
had both legs badly bruised but no bones
broken. His injuries are not serions and
Wedoesday morning he went out at the
head of a gavg to undertake the recovery
of the bodies of their dead fellow-workmen
from the waters of the Susquehanna. Jesse
Danlap was also at work ov the bridge at
the time but not on the traveler and he was
vot injured. The bridge is being built by
