It has been tho fashion for some time past for a lot of bums who llve in this city and in Owana to bourd the late motor trains running between: the two cities and vroceed to enjoy themselves after their own style, sending the trainmen into tho bickground with such a vengeance that the trainmen usually do not care to run auy opposition to their passengers until the troublesome ones have alighted. Conductor Overton, who runs on the Broudway & Omaha line, had an experienoe of this kind at a lato bour Saturday pight, but it ended somewhat out of the regular way. According to the story Overton tells, a crowd of fellows, all of “them pretty woll loaded with a largo and varied assortment of liguors, got on board bis train in Omaba to ride 1o this eity. One of thom, whose name is ). B. Winship, refused to pay, and Overton passod on. Shortly afterward he i eturned again to Winship, who bad goue to the widdly platform in the meantime, and araln asked for bis dime. Winship declared ho had paid bis fare, aud after a spinted argument the conductor reached up W pull the bell rope, intending to ston he train and put him off. Just as ho did so Winship reached out b clenched fist and lot it fall ngainst Overton cheek in a way that shook the trolley from the wire, Quick s a flash Overtor’s hand left the bell-rope and returaed the blow. About the time the blow fell peoplo who were watehing the encountor saw Winship leave the plutfsrm all in & bunch and go flying out over the railing at o comet-like gait. He landed fully ten feet from the track, and so avided boing run over.

Ornamental Devices That Tempt and Drain the I ol Shoppera. the Eyes sew As tho Christmas holidays approach the litlle folks and the big ones as well are evineing a keen wuterest in what Santa Claus bas on hand for distribution, and ail the storoes, from tho most to the least protentious, are loaded down with articles especiaily pur- chased for the holiday trade. The favorite saint of tho little ones bas apparently estao- lished his headquarters very numerously, and from now until the dawning of the new year the toddlers with thew fathers wud mothers, uncles and brothers, sisters, cousins and aunts will put in their stray moments in a continuous round of sight seeing. And even then they won't begia to see it all. Tho Christmas spirit is ubroad, and so is Omahw's population from § o'clock in the morniug until nearly that hour in the oven- ing. T'ne streots are fitled with throngs of sight soers, and otter time is the work of the window draper admired as it desceves, Even the arusts themselves who fashion these wondrous arrays of flimy fabric and more substantial goods, can nov unow feel that they have lubored in vain, for the piles that théy have builded to please the public oye, fiud therr udmirers alwost constautly from noon till W hile the windows in the business part of tho city may hardly be said as yet to have put on their full heliday attire, some of them already show the wouderiul complica- tions of mechanical toys in operation, hens and chickens, rabbits in litle grass plots, nutomatie figures going through grotesque continuous now 1f at no erformances, artistie displays of gowns und delicate chi and wore of the thousand and one things, any of which 1s enough to attract a gaping, goou-nutured crowd that blocks tho sidewalics and puts the thoroughly business- like, matter-of-fact person who has neitu time nor mouey to spend in - Christmas saop- ving in a highly unpleasant frame o. mind. Many of e larger stors bave been so busy getting the holiday goods unpacked that they have not yet gotten to their window displuys, whild others still will fol- low tho custom pursued by them in former years aud chengo their displays every two or three days during the holid cach show- iug a really wonderful assortment of desir- able goods, and no one of which can bo said wore thun the others to be distinctively tho Christmas window. Beside the substantial staudard articles (before which it must be confessed few beo- pie linger) & quantity of pretty trifles ap- propriate for Cnristmas gifts, both costly and inexpevsive, are displaved ‘everywhere. At the jeweiers, the toy and the chiniu shops there is perhaps most novelty., Watches were never more elaborate in ornamentation thun they arc this season nor, if they wre designed for women, smaller in size, The dainty cases of many are enaweled with tiny loves or delicate portraits of famous women or rich conventional pat- terns, whileothers are inerusted with preeious stones. A new idea, or rather the fresh application of un old one, is a small purse made of fine links of silver, the clasp of which is a watch with a diameter just balf an inch long. The fobs and chatelaines to which these watches ure attached are scarcely less olaborate than they. Oue, which recalls the, days of Louis XV., is exquisitely enameled. Upon it Venus, Surrounded by cupids, poses against @ dark red background, Lhe hinks which support the pendants are thickly sev with pearls, Little black ribbon fobs, as much like those that men affect as possible, are given a ro- deeming air of femininity by meaus of pearl clasps and buckles, Pins and rings hold an important place among holiday gifts. Tho former, whether they represent roses, sweet peas, or orchids, whether they fly out in bows and ends or be- cowing conventional gleam with jewels, must be either round or oblong. ‘I'he bar pin will probubly come into favor ugain sometime, butits day is not yet. As for riugs, tho moro oceontric aud bizarre they are thé bot- ter thoy are liked. A fow great glittoring marquise rings are being bougnt, but not wauy. Souvenir spoons hold their own bravely, as do silver toilet articles and the miscellancous trinkets that ave the uufailiag refuge of tho impecunious young man with capricions friends; but the most elegant inexpensive giftof the season is by all odds a silver mouuted purse or _card case of lizard or mon- koy skiu®r delicate suede leatner. At the china shops thero arc us many sur- prises as there are delights. Familiar pot- tery takes on strange forms, and new wures nva recklessly mtroduced. [n cups and sau- cers, vuses, bonbon trays, and toilet articles there aro several noveltlos, and as uothing makos & moro acceptable gift to most women than theso fragile trifies they meet with no lack of appreciation on the part of the shop- ping public. Small clocks of exquisito Dr den china deserve a word of commendation all by themselves. Joiliest of all the Christmas sights are tho toy shops. Never, within the history of tue oldest inbabitant, were there such dolls, such carts, such horses, and such gumes as'those whaich invite good Saint Nicholas from the shop windows. A lion with a florco mane made of some other animal’s skin, an artisti- cally striped tiger, and & gontle-cyod giraffe very truo to nature, are not the least desirable possessions. Great drays loaded with bales and boxes, with two horses and a littlo durky doll to drive them, calls forth muen adninru- tion from the smail folk that happen their way. Boxes fitted up with all sorts of simple embroidery articles and baskots filled. with assorted china animals all dwelling together iu harmony scem to promise many quiet hours of profitable entertainment to somebody. “’here are a great many things for the giris, but the principal and most distinctive 1temjs the doll. The ugents of old Santa Claus have this year provided a very good articlo indeed, though in doing so they havo also widened slightly the opportunitics for spending mouey. The vaiue of the aoll this seascn is of course dependent to large degroo on tho composition of its make-up, but it is also largely governea by the tmir. - Thevo is, for instance, a doll whose bair is woven. [tis in a solid wig and can be depended upon to weur. It will cost a little morein the larger sizes, but it is putupon ood heads and geod bodios, and it will probably pay Lo put vut a little more money aud get a dollof this description. Then theve is another ouéd, the doll with the haie pasted to the scalp. It is a good one, will wear well, aud cun bo bought a hittle cheapor this season. Sb the futhars and mothers who forward thélr smoney to old Kriss Kringle can still ges something reason- able in price and of rooa weariug quality, while the nickel dolls arg‘of. better propor- tions nud will stand a reasonable amount of knocking around. Thoy allsoon get broken noses and discolored uuda disfgured fvatures. Tuero are two very atGsgetive articlos for the small boys. One is thél gtick horse wud the outier is the soldier and cap. The stick horse varies from thdfone with whocls on oue end and the horse'sfhead on the other, tothe one with wheels on one end, the horse's Liead and body 1n_place, and a string of sleigh bells as an adordient of a realistic character and as a oise mukiug institution. There is a good deal of riding a broowstick about this, but all the same it catches the small boy and he is 1o bo secu in goodly num- be s avound every display of this chaructor, \ere is something natoraliy attractive anout the stick horse, What boy is thers who has not ridaen an old broomstick and what one who will not. imucdiately much nicer this one is? With the question omes an afirmative auswer and a sugges- tion to papa that they don’t cost more than & dollar, - How small that dollar secms to the youngster's mind, but how it wounts up when applied_in all the necessary different direotious! Only a dollar! And thero's the bieyele which the boy wso wunts, though he generally takes the stick norse in preference if compelled to choose. When it comes to books, the chidren are #OIng to buve o troat this year. What child is there that does not appreciate u book with pictures, and nice stories for little vnes! One great trouble hus always been that the books offercd for the boiday trade were rather flimsily bound and would last buta little turniog over bofore they would begin 1o ask bimself how | I: MONDAY. DECEMBER 14 1891 break and lose their leaves. They always cost enough, too, to have something that would stand ordinarily easy handling, suca us might bo expected from a child. But somehow or other the child has always suc- eded at the first trial in finditg the weak spot, wherever it might be. This vear tho indications ure that the books aro better put up and better printed, while they are ulso of good variety. As ong mother puts it: “You can get just a lovely, fully bound boo for i5 cents.”” * This is the kina the child wants, something that can be handled day after day, something from which the A I3 Cs can be learned, something instructive as well as en- tertaining and amusingz. The mukerof books for children seems to have ut last discovered this, and that, too, without adding to the ex pense of his prodnct. In games there is about tho u yearly outl; There is one good one, however, which had disappeared for several years though it was always.a favovite. Thatoneis the upright pin, over which the player thiows hoops, acquiring precision of aim and a juag- ment of space and fall. 1t is about the samo as tho men's outdoor gawme of throwing tho horseshoe, but 1t is perfectly suitable to tho parior, and may be participated in by ail, from the fatier and mother down to the youngest of the children. There is auother kamo tiat is new, called “'mince pie.”” It re- quires some study, but not any more than_is healthful for the little ones.
