What is popularly termed the Christmas Holiday Trade, is a short,
lmsy season with us. We cannot afford the time or space to make
it a long, drawn out feature in our business, and so prefer to
coflne it to something like two weeks, or under, when the in
ducements offered to our patrons are usually sufficient to make
selling brisk from the hour of formal opening, till the closing
hour on Christinas eve. Hitherto wo have found this plan to
work well and considering the extreme merit of this season's of
ferings we have no reason whatever to doubt that the result
will be different this year.

WHEN TIME
WAS VALUABLE
HOW FIVE MINUTES MADE A
DIFFERENCE.
An Incident Crowing Out of Presi
dent McKlnley's Funeral Which
tho Principal in It Will Not Soon
Forgot Cnino Within nn Aco of
Losing a Wife.
I'rom the Washington star,
A group of traveling men were dis
cussing the assassination of President
McKlnley the other day when one of
them said:
"Gentlemen not to digress from the
subject but hnve any of you ever con
sidered the value of live minutes'."'
All answered In Ihe negative,
"Well, I never considered II myself
until the other day, when 11 friend of
mine mot with an experience which
showed how precious live minutes can
be under some circumstances. It was
on the day the dead president was bu
lled, when, as you remember the street
cars and the telegraph ceased to oper
alu for live minutes as a mark of re
spect for the martyred chief.
"My friend, whose home Is In Wash
ington, was engaged to bo married to
a young lady In Cincinnati. (I've never
seen the lady, but It goes wtlhnut say
ing that she Is the sweetest girl In the
world nnd all that sort of thing they
nil are!) Her father Is 11 very particu
lar old gentleman and had not looked
with favor on my friend's suit. Tho
couple had been engaged In secret for
three years and It was only a month
ago that the parental consent was se
cured. "The young lady and her father were
visiting friends near Annapolis and It
was while there that he was prevailed
upon to give In.
"Of course, they wanted to have Ihe
ceremony performed at once before
father could change his mind and It
was arranged to take placo on the 19th
of September the day McKlnley was
burled.
ONLY TWO DAYS' LEAVE.
"My friend travels through the south
for a New York house, whose busiest
month Is September, and he could only
get two days' leave. He tlxed his dates
so that he would be In Baltimore, where
the wedding was to take place on the
19th and all arrangements for the af
fair were perfected by letter.
"Well, the day of the wedding the
groom-to-be came up from Illehnioud,
where he was working, and stopped
over In Washington to attend to some
nportant business matters. The bride-to-be
and father-in-law-to-be were to
leave Annapolis for Haltlmoro on the
2.;io train, meet him at a hotel near the
station, where the ceremony would be
performed by a minister who would be
in waiting, the three would then take
the 4, SO train for Cincinnati.
"The business took more time than
ho hud anticipated, and It ivas 15 min
utes after 2 before he could break away
and start for the train. He would have
to catch the 2.:t." train in order to be in
Baltimore on time to meet his bride
elect and her father, and he did some
tall hustling, I tell you.
"As I said before, the old gentleman
Is very particular; he Is also very punc
tilious one of those gentlemen of tho
old school whose eleventh command
ment Is 'be punctual.' He and his
daughter would leave Annapolis at the
same time my friend loft Washington,
and all three would arrive in Baltimore
simultaneously. My friend knew that
If he wasn't in Baltimore to meet them
when they arrived pater would be furi
ous and, of course, break off the match.
If he missed that 2.!I5 train he wouldn't
have any more chance of getting the
girl than Czolgosz had of being par
doned. "At 23 minutes past 2 ho was on a
trolley car going down Pennsylvania
avenue, and, allowing for stops, would
reach the B, and O. station at 2.30 and
have live minutes to spare before the
train pulled out. Confident of being on
time he lit a cigar and was soon lost in
contemplation of the great happiness In
store for him.
THE CAlt STOPPTD.
"Suddenly tho car stopped and re
mained still longer than It was neces
sary to take on a passenger. He looked
up and saw a string of curs in front of
him.
" 'What's tho matter'," lie asked the
conductor excitedly, with his heart in
his mouth.
" 'The cars are stopped for live min
utes out of respect for the dead presi
dent,' replied the conductor.
" 'Great Scott!'
"He looked at his watch: It was half
pnst two! The train would leave In five
minutes and ho couldn't possibly catch
It now. What was lie to do? Across
the street was a telegraph olllce. Quick
as a Hash he conceived the Idea of tele
graphing to Ills (lance's Cather before
ho left Annapolis informing him of his
predicament, Of course, he realized
that only by great good fortune could
Ihe mesige he delivered la tlllle, but
il was ills only resource and he was
desperate, In a moment he was Inside
the nlflee, and scribbled a few lines on
one of the blanks and handed It over
the counter to the operator,
" 'Get this olf at once it's a matter
of life and death!'
" 'Sorry, sir, but the telegraph is shut
off for live minutes out of respect '
-"'Mut (his Is a matter '
" 'Very sorry; but the current Is off
all over the country.'
" '.lumping Juplior!'
"Heads of perspiration stood out on
his brow. Visions of a gloomy future
with 1111 loving wife In cheer 11 rose up
before him. There was no question of It
the girl was lost to him now beyond
a doubt, and the boy felt pretty blue,
lie started to walk out of the olllcu
Vihcu a thought Hashed through his
brain that gave nun a new lease 011
life. There was a possibility, he
thought, thai Ihe Annapolis train might
bo delayed by reason of the heavy traf
fic on the railroads that day. and he
might still be ablo to coinnumlcato with
the girl's father before It was loo late,
INTKItlU'PTION CEASES.
"At last tho clock In the olllce pointed
to twenty-llvo minutes to :t. The cars
out In the street were clanging their
gongs uml slowly moving off click
click click tin' telegraph was again at
work and the noise of the sounders was
the sweetest iuiibIc ho had ever heard.
"'Hurry off my messagu!' ho blurted
out to the operator, who already had
his linger on the key, pieparlng to send
the despatch.
"'Walt!' said the operator, quickly.
Annapolis Is calling now!'
"Ho gave tho answer to the call and
threw lu his switch; after a slight
pause the sounder slatted off again at
a lively rate.
