A certain young gentleman residing on Sew
enth-st., and who is well known I'm business and
society circles Of Portland, is to-day happest man
in the State OF oregon Yes he is probably, the hap
NEST man In the United States; and the proyerbial
felicity of the mammoth sun1Ower Is nowhere SO to
speak when compared with the JOY OF our fortunate
Young friend The fact of the matter is, the gentleman
In question has struck it rch" as they say down In
the mines He has realized a cool million and bound
less happiness by the Investment OF single dollar.
The story Of This brilliant good fortune which Is rs yet
unknown save few Immediate friends. Is briefly told
as follows: I'VE Will not at this time mention names OF
the parties concerned. All will shortly be known)
During the latter part OF last fal the young Porander
above referred paid visit to some friends In St. Lonis
Mo. During his sojourn he met one night at grand
ball the Linde HOTEL Of the reignng bellies OF the
sunny South whom TO meet was to love. The young
lady was charming accomplished and beautful-the
only daughter OF millionaire parents. The Oregohiaas
heart went pit-apat" and his brain went" whirligg
It was genuine case OF love first sight, and the
young mans affections were reclprocated He was IN
vited TO the ludys beautiful home near the fak INC
of the two fond hearts that beat like one. Tears Idle
tears The serious opposition OF the notther was paseo
pOn the fact that her daughters health had been en-
fesnl.d by frequent attacks Of chronic rheumatism,
which latter resisted the treatment OF tne most sKDed
physicians Of the South and North The young man
begged implored besOgh but all IN vain. At las. the
parent far relened as 10 promise he consent 70
the marriage her daughter should be entirely
cured OF her continually occurring painful trouble Her
had been pronounced hopeless 10y the doctors ana
regarded by friends; stil the lover nOped he
procured at the drug emporium OF Messrs. Meyer
brothers Co., ST. Louis two bottles OF the Great Ger
man Remedy pain, about which much Il now De-
Ing said and written These he left with his sweetheart
before departing for home where he vent to spend the
holidays. This was about two weeks ago = II should
be cured, George. remarked the unhappy GIRL on pd-
ding her lover farewell III send you KISS ana snen
returned the city with heart heavy as the Colum
have been mis- hopes the reader will readily understand
that the young man was not happy In Iact ne nEe
his far away sweetheart was very unhappy sady ne
young man recalled the expressive Lines OF Ireland -
great poet
~'Tis sweet to wait,
But Oh. how bitter,
To walt for girl
And then not git her."
When therefore, a telegraph messenger called at tho
sevenh st residence early New Years morning, with
dispatch from ST. Louis, the feelings Of friend and
fellow citizen can be much better imagined than de-
scriDed.
But alas! for the mystery
OF unwrtten history
The telegram was from the rheumatic young lady, 10
be sure, hut It's meaning was a dark mystery Tha
essage consisted OF but three letters namely. G. Y h
vain did he tax his memory AS last resort he visited
the telegraph Office but there too no one seemed able to
that key TO the cipher be requested OF the sender OF tho
dispatch. This was promptly done Al hall past sun
ay night Just the rst day OF the New Year was be-
ginning TO draw 10 close the answer came 1t read
as follows:

To say that this message made George" the hap
pest nan In oregon above stated drawing mild.
A. he dropped in At the EsmOnd late ast night with
few personal friends he certainly looked and felt as
though he would not exchange his recently won Prize or
even that mysterious cipher dispatch. for the entire
Northwest All appeared to feel -extn dry and
although Mumm was the word the reporter was en-
ahled 10 caich on" were to that c. Y X telegram

Miss that was ever transmitted the wires OF this or
any other country
