rAg BOG DIDN'T FORGET HIS Part.

A Book Agent Found This Out at the Cost
Ofa Quarter.
Theman was q book agent. There
was no use denying that Any per
son in his right mind would have
known that he was book agent.
His trousers were frayed out at the
bottom; his hat was knocked in at
the top, and his general appearance
savored of many miles walked and
few shekels gathered.
He ambled along the deserted
street a few rods and then stopped
undecidedly before the gate of a
yard which surrounded small cot
tage house. He was weighing in his
mind the probability of asale. Before
he concluded to enter the yard a saw
age looking hound put in an appear
ance on the inside of the fence and
made frantic efforts to reach the book
agents trousers through the palings.
Not succeeding in this diversion, the
dog sat down to await the time when
the man should open the gate and
enter the yard.
The book agent had made up his
mind that he could sell an ''Autobi-
ography" if he could but reach the
front steps of the house. But the dog
was determined that the agent should
not reach the front steps under any
condition. "Good doggy" and mice
fellow" failed to make the least i'm
preston. on the canine. He only
howled defiantly on his side of the
fence His howls brought man
from around the corner of the next
house. He was an exceedingly lean
and hungry appearing man. He
took in the situation at glance and
came over to where the book agent
was vainly endeavoring to conciliate
the dog. He thrust both his hands
deep into his empty pockets and
drawled out;
Fer quarter I'll call off the dog.
The book man must have thought
that the chances of sale at that par.
ticular house were extra good, for he
drew out the fourth part of dollar
and handed it the stranger. That in
dividual carefully sounded it on his
teeth, and being convinced Of its gen.
uineness he dropped it into his ca
pacious pocket.
Then drawing his slouch hat down
over his eyes and turning up his coat
collar, he assumed a highly dramatic
attitude, and in stentorian tones he
hissed forth: 'Tige, Tige. say.
Thou coward and thou brute,
know'st thou that thy master lies
captive in yonder wood, and dost
thou hnger herei Begonel Be
gon-n-n-e, l say"
The dog glanced up with half
curious look, and then turned shame
facedly away, and putting his nose
to the ground he skunk quickly from
sight.
Yer see, pardner," explained the
hungry looking man, that dog an
use ter play in high tragedy, an he
amt fergot his cue yet. An, by the
way, l don't believe yer1l sell booh
in that house, cuz the folks has gone
off today on family picnic. They
left the dog to look out for the house

A GOOD PLACE 20 LIVE.

Just put on your thinking cap ana
ait down in a corner for while, that
Is. figuratively speaking, and see II the
good state Of Oregon is not about as
good place to live in as can be found
anywhere on this green earth. This Is
not mere talk meant for the people hv'
ing elsewhere, but just for those who
make this their home. Did any one
ever see a finer summer than we are
having? IL so, when and where? DID
auy one ever see better cropsP Ii 30,
when aud where? Does any one kno"
of q place where man can enjoy tht
advantages of q temperate climate ano
vet raise more produce from small
SPACE of ground than here? LII 30,
where? Never mind the futur'
prospects. When Que gets to talking
about them, it Is hard to convince him
self that he Is not romanciDg, so brigh
are they because of the many sdvan
tages which our state possesses. Jus
lake the state as it is, hard times ana
all, and tell us If you can where you
can find better one. Eastern people
talk about our wet winters, but one
single storm ia one single locality lii
the East the other day caused the loss
OF many more lives and the destruc
ton of more property than all the
storns which have occurred in Oregon
since the first white man set foot in the
territory. There are many worse things
than an Oregon winter, and nothing
better than an Oregon summer.
