Our Monster
Holiday Issues.
We call the attention of our
waders to the
of the Illustrated Holiday Issue of
THK PRESS, comprising liH pages,
including a handsome cover. This
is not a cheaply gotten up publica
tion, but expense has not been
spared, believing that when the ad
vertising pages are increased it is
right and justice to our patronage
to give the attractive and interest
ing matter, suitable for the occa
sion. We hope this jEisatte will
please all. Our workmen, having
mi abundance of all the latest and
np-to-date type faces, borders,
tales, etc., certainly have put up a
line of advertisements that will
stand comparison with any crack
City work. Our reputation iu this
line has long since been highly
complimented by competent auth
orities and is very gratifying to us.
The steady advancement of the
PKK.SS, in every branch, has war
ranted and demanded many im
provements to meet our increasing
fiusi nc—'. < >ur entire force <f
workmen have labored early and
late I > meet the demands and when
it is taken into consideration the

position did not have 1 to be torn
down in ord- i- to print an;, part of
it ; thereby demon trating to the
practical mind the capacity of our
work rooms, and material, the
completeness of which Tew, it any,

i AI.K about the trials of n wo
man whose husband fs late
B for dinner or doesn't come
when he Is expected," says
the woman who lias had experiences:
"It Is annoying enough at any time,
but it is nothing in a civilized" country
to what It fs when you are off in the
wilds somewhere and dinner and din
ner getting are two of the most Impor
tant things In life.
"When Mr Blank look tne and the
baby some years ago to try life oil a
Texas sheep ranch we found there
were a good many things In the world
that we had no conception of before,
and life took on a different aspect. It
was a happy life, but It was not nn
easy one. I had to do all kinds of
housework, the hardest kind of house
work. and cooking iu a house situated
in a Texas chaparral Is not cooking as
It is done even in a New York flat.
We lived chiefly on game which Mr.
Blank shot as we needed It. Our veg
etables were all canned—peas, corn
and a certain number of things we
kept always on hand.
"I suppose I made myself a great
deal more work than was necessary
and did twice as much cooking, but 1
was used to everything in eastern
style, and it did not occur to me that
I could have things in any other way.
We a I way-; had dessert every day for
dinner. I made c.ike, and practically
we lived in tl>«> wilds of Texas exactly
as we could here.
"Well, the day when Mr. Blank did
not come home to dinner was New
Year's. There was not so much differ
ence between 'lie days—they were all
working days -but 1 had prepared a
special dinner. Mr. Blank was going
oil' to the dipping vats, but lie was to
be back at o'clock for dinner, and I
prepared a good one. It was rabbit, I
think, that day Our nearest neighbors
were a family of Alsatians whom we
knew very well and who l> i been
very kind to us That morning brfoi •
breakfast Mr. Blank had ridden over
there on busim sof some kind. They
had made eggnog to celebrate the day,
and of course he must accept their
hospitality and take a glass.
"Now. a good strong eggnog Is not
exactly a before breakfast drink for a
man who is not accustomed to taking
it at that hour In the morning*.and the
eggnog was a strong one It was New
Year's day. -Mid eggnog ingredients can
i • found in Texas when potatoes can
not. When Mr Blank came home he

could not <>at his breakfast unci ouly
took a few swallows of coffee and
mounted Ills horse and ro'de away.
"1 went to work and cooked dinner
In ray best style. 1 had a little oil
store, for it was always warm where
we were, except when a norther came
u]i. Everything was done to perfec
tion and ready to put on the table at
2 o'clock, but Mr. Blank did not come.
I looked out. but he was nowhere in
sight. Two o'clock passed, 2:30, 3
o'clock, and still he did not come.
"Any one would have supposed that
I would have been frightened and
think something had happened to him,
for he is one of the most considerate
of men and this was n most unusual
occurrence. Hut I was uot frightened
If anything had happened probably
the men would have brought me word.
I had a good dinner prepared, and he
\ did not coinv, and on Now Year's day.
i I grew more and more angry as the
| time passed, until by night I was hard
, ly in a condition to speak. By and b>
;he rode up. lie seemed to feel my
j mood. Anyway, his first words were:
" '1 suppose you are provoked.'
I "'Yes,' I said. 'I am.'
j "lie was angry then, and he went
| < iff to stake out his hprse without an
l other word. It didn't last long, how
j ever, and we came to an understand
I Ing.
"1' seems that that eggnog, taken
1 the lirst thing in the intimitis had
been too much for liitn lie had It it"l
ly left the house before lie mis nvei - i
come with an Irresistible desire ti> |
sleep lie says he never knew how lie
reached the dipping vuts, for he slept
most of the way on Ills horse's ha k
When he got there lie found working
was simply an impossibility The men
Ittid a little shanty, and he managed
to crawl up there, throw himself on
the floor, and there he slept all day
long without stirring until night, when
he had slept off the effects of the egg
nog.
'"1 do not look upon eggnog now as j
; such an Innocuous drink as 1 did at one 1
time, and I know there was never a

day as I did waiting for Mr Blank *o
