letter from Polly's Uncle Josh, (the
Hon Joshua Turner an old pioneer OF
Whitman county-rich, generous and
level headed-who wrote effusivelv of
his delight at her exhibition of what he
called grit, . and he proposed that ifthe
young people would come to Washington
with the Homeseeker's Excursions and
drop off at Pullman to settle, lie would
start them up i'll life as a wedding gift,
provided, however, that they arrive in
time to get everything i'll shape before
Thanksgiving day, SO that they all might
eat turkey and cranberry sass" together.
OF course they accepted, and were soon
bidding their friends adieu.
A few weeks subsequent to the above
incident trayelstained party arrived in
Pullman. Our friend, Uncle Josh, was in
charge, and he led the party straightway
to the Palace Hotel. "We'll go to the
Palace, said he, "cause that's the pop-
ular place, and strictly first class. l have
known Theo. 7. Davis, the proprietor,
for years, and he is mine own host after
mine own heart, endowed with that de
lightful Intuition that makes guest feel
at home, comfortable, contented, and in
mighty good luck. The house is one of
convenience; the apartments are we'll
furnished and the cusine-well the Pal
ace is noted for its excellent table, SO
have engaged rooms here until your own
house is in readiness" And with these
remarks Uncle Josh graciously presented
to Charlie the deed of coy cottage.

Hill Bros, Of the Star Stables"
When the handsome carriage with elab-
crate trappings and prancing horses drew
up in front of the hotel, Polly declared it
the Finest turnout She had ever seen"
Eyes Stree, replied Uncle Josh,
that's purity neat rig-the three SIS,
Speed, Safety and Style, is Hill Bros

funeral equipments are unsurpassed and
their rates are reasonable" 1t was in this
stylish turnout that the rounds of the city
were made.
Having already provided a cage for
the bird said Uncle Josh, "now the first
thing we'll look after will be the furnish
ings for it." Hereupon Polly energet-
ically declared that she had heard so
much about Plough &, Waters big fur
niture and hardware store that She had
decided to 60 there first The result was
that they were ushered into such a be
wiidering display that the girl was at first
at a loss how to select But she soon
yielded to the seductiveness of a magnif-
cent parior suite, bed room set in oak,

Klondyke himself TO this she added an
