IL was an understood thing that when Tom
and she had saved up money enough to
furnish two rooms they were to be mar
ried; but as in the course of six months
their united savings only amounted to FIVE
and thirty shillings and some odd coppers,
their engagement appeared likely to be
rather long one. On Saturday after
moons the young people were in the habit
of taking long walk together, followed
by tea at Chancery lane-a festive cere-
mony which was only married by the pres
ence of Uncle Keckwidge, an aged rela-
tive who resided with Mrs. Moyse. 1t
was family tradition that Uncle Keek-
widge had been rather fascinating dog
in his day but he was now very infirm.
not to say childish. He was very deaf,
and, as rule, understood little or moth
ing OF what was going on around him:
but every now and then caught one-half of
a sentence. and invariably that half which
the rest of the company would have pre-
ferred that he should not hear. He had
further trying habit of plunging irrelev-
antly into the conversation, following up
some train Of ideas of his own very often
of an uncomfortable personal charcter.
The conversation which we have re-
ported between Mr.. Morpeth and his solicit
tor took place on Saturday. Tom Hall
day copied out the advertisement as d.
rected, and duly left it with the agent.
BY the time he had done this it was three
O'Clock, and with light heart he hungup
his well-worn Office coat. gave his hat an
extra polish, and then started off to a GER
tain tree in Regents Park, where he found
Bessie Moyse already awaiting him.

the part of Tom, which caused Bessie to
exclaim, swell. never. sir. And with so
many people looking, too.' they joined
arm in arm, and proceeded to hear the
band in the Geological Garden. This,
however, they did after manner of their
own. They had discovered that the music
was equally effective (and shilling
cheape) from the outside of the gardens,
and as Tom justly remarked, they did not
want to be bothered with the animals, so
they promenaded up and down outside the
palings to the inspiring strain of the mar
tial music within.

Columbia River Salmon !

Under the above name large quantities of worth
less trash have been offered and sold to the public
during the past few years both in this and foreign
countries-iish not fit to before being packed. and
made infinitely by the hasty and imperfect
methods of canning adopted by some packers, who
only entered the business for the purpose of rcapng
immediate profit regardless of the interests of the
community at large, or of reputation for themselves
of doing honest work and supplying trstcass arti-
Gle. The markets of America, Europe and Australia
today glutted with such goods and the inevita-
BILE result will bealready has Leen to exteln-
to create in the public distrust of everything bear
ing the name columbia River salmon, and event
ually to materially diminish the sale of this delicious
fish.
In view of the above facts, determined TO han
die salmon that bore faint of careless inferior
workmanship. and only TO buy and sell brand that
in every respect could be guaranteed first class.
We have therefore secured the agency of
