and how they had missed her. and to ex-
plain why Dolly Brown father had taken
her to Europe.
After recess came an exercise which the
girls called ''going up and down." Miss
Grafton had been reading ancient history
to the class during the closing hour on
Fridays, and she occasionally examined
them on what she had read. These ex-
aminations were not recorded in the roll
book, but those who answered questions
correctly "skipped'' above those who
failed; so that this exercise frequently
caused important changes in the posi-
ton of the scholars. Lou usually en-
joyed such examinations very much, and
answered questions very readily; but as
she had been so long absent, she had no
hopes of any success. A few attempts,
partly happy guesses, partly dim recol-
lectiOns of something she had heard her
father reading at home, helped her over
three or four rounds, and brought her
above half-a-dozen scholars, though she
was still on the back row.

question was passed rapidly down the

down, and Lou took Il seat beside Kitty
Lawrence, who squeezed her hand de-
lightedly.

Breaking the Records.

S SSSeeeSs6
Some records are like the law
easily broken. Other records
have established SO high a stan
dard that only the finest speci-
mems of humanity, physically
or mentally, can hope to equal
or surpass them. A record
which is worth making is worth
preserving. We value our rec
ord as highly as we do our busi-
ness prosperity. They cannot
be separated, because one de-
pends upon the other. We
have established our reputation
by studying the interests of our
patrons; by being ready to full
FILL every promise. ,..and by rep
resenting our goods exactly as
they are in every instance.
The advantage of dealing
with us is that we justify your
confidence, that what we sell is
never out Of proportion to the
price which we charge, and
when you buy you have paid
not a cent more than the value
Of your purchase.
That which we advertise, that
we have to sell. We fully re-
alize the fact that Truthful Ad-
vertising is one of the most es-
sential elements of success. This
being SO, our old and new GUS
toners will always find us equal
to the test. Our holiday stock
is coming in and we pride our
selves when we say no finer
stock to select from was ever
found in the great Northwest
than that now on exhibition at
the great and well known drug
and book house of Saur & Balls
ley.
You Of course intend to make
a present to some one during
the coming holidays, and we
can truly say that no better Sc
lection can be made than at
Saur & Balsley's, who, have a
record almost as old as the old
est Of us for keeping the finest
stock Of useful and ornamental
gifts for all, the old as we'll as
the young, man or woman, in
fact all classes and conditions
Of life. kk55Si.szs;:S kk55S.s;s;:S5
When in search for gifts re-
member Saur & Balsley, and at
least look through their stock.
You need not purchase if you
don't find just what you want.
To enumerate the different
articles suitable for gifts to be.
found at this house would be
almost impossible, but we give
the following: All the works
Of the principal authors in this
and other countries, bound in
all manner Of styles. Encyclo-
pedias, dictionaries, fancy pa
pers and envelopes; gold pens
and holders, toilet articles, per-
fumery cases, combs, brushes
mirrors, autograph and photo
graph albums, bibles and testa-
nents and an endless variety of
gift books, etc,
But come in and see for
yourself. It will cost you moth
ing to look over the goods.
