The suggestion is a virtual endorsement of furniture as a gift, and, followed toT its logical'conclusion, will lead you to this store for the inspection, of furniture that excels in qualities that beautify, dignify and serve long and faithfully, and which, moreover, is priced on our everyday scale of modest profit. In addition to a most interesting and characteristic display of dining room and bedroom suites, luxurious upholstery and fine mahogany pieces, our special Gift Section presents a multitude of opportunities in novelties. Christmas shopping here will prove easy and pleasant shopping. CHESTER A. LIST.

He was 7S years old on March 3d. Colonel Gilbert Is one of the few men now In active service entitled to wear tha service badge of the Civil "war, a strip of half blue, half -gray, and of these few he Is prplmbly the only one who fought all through the rebellion. He entered the army while a seuior-'at he University of Rochester early in '61 and for the last three years served as captain and regimental adjutant of the Nineteenth Regular Infantry iu the Army of the Cumberland.

He also wears te service badge of the Spanish-American war, of the Philippine insurrection and of the Philippine reconstruction, for lie served actively In "08 an.i throughout all thetrouble in the Philip- pines" and returned again for the reconstruction period. He was retired In 1904 be ause of age, but was again called to active duty last July 18th and was assigned to Houston, Texas.

Cohen, a real estate man of this cfty owns the house and lot Immediately to the soutta of this land. It seems that Mr. Salmon originally owned the greater part 5f the lots in that locality, and the plaintiff claims that when he sold these lots ueagreed 'that this parcel of land was to be an open passageway to, tee, lieach between Washington avenne and the boulevard.

Mr. Salmon since then has several times bnilt a fence around the land, and the adjacent property owners have from time to time pulled it down during the night. He has for many years cut the hay that rows there, and once attempted to fence off the beach itself in front of this property. It Is understood that Mr. Williamson is backed by all the property owners In the neighborhood 'in this case.
