"Miss Summers Polly, I-er-dare l." but the speaker took header over bashfulness only to hear sweet "Yes, Charley" ''Can I aspire to-er- to-that is," again lapse into silence followed by an encouraging "Yes, Charley" ..
 "Oh, if I might only hope to-er-to," another failure of language, it was seemingly hopeless case, and it might have been only for a demure.
 "Charley, have said yes twice and if you mean it I mean it too, and" And to this day that young man in sists that he popped the question.
 All this happened away "down east,r it wasn't long before there was wedding; not much longer before there came a letter from Pollys Uncle Josh out in Arizona, who wrote effusively of his delight at her exhibi- tion of what he called "grit." and proposed that if the young couple would locate at Prescott he would start them in life as wedding gift. Of course they accepted and were soon bidding their friends adieu.
 A few weeks subsequent to the above a travel-stained party arrived in Prescott, Uncle Josh was in charge and led them straight away to the Brinkmeyer Hotel. We'll, go there, said he. "because that's a popular place and strictly first class. have | known Henry .Brinkmryer, the pro- prieto-, for year ,anlvou will find him m.,i., host nl the fullest extent Of the wor:l He runs a fnc bakery and restaurant in connection with the | not, l. su we'll engage rnnmS there Gu- til ti. new home i~ r'n rleted."

 "The next thing tu look after" said Uncle Josh with parental air, ''i: the lumber, absolutely necessary fol building the new house you contem plate. To that end we will call al the DsMund Lumber O., who are tho principal dealers in that line here They carry the most complete line O
 building material in the county everything from the sills for thu
 foundation to the shingles for th' roof, at most reasonable figures"
 "To have the plans carefully look
 ed after in an up-to-date manner,
 added Uncle Josh, i've must leav' them in the hands of D. Kilpatrick the architset, whose reputation fo , thoroughness and accuracy stands a the top in this communit7N- His worl
 is of high order and Rsy designs tn
 latest. He's the maH for this line. "The necessary arrangements beinl
 made," said Uncle Josh, i've will nov figure with w. W. Wood, the old re
 liable contractor, to build the house Honest workmanship and materia are essential in building, and you vii , find him using both. He does al !. kinds of cement and stucco work, am , you'll be pleased with the new hom i when turned over to you from hi , hands.
 1, ''Nothing makes home cosier c z heater than to have it artisticall , painted and nicely decorated" sai the old gentleman, "and as Kilpatric r & Talbot have been careful to selec | only the latest shades from the man . new and late designs in wall pape !, we will buy this commodity fror
 them and have the work of paintin , and papering executed under thei | skillful management, 1t will b . thorough" said he.
 "Now, while the new house is in tn I course of construction, there will b : all kinds of wood work to be locke
 after and interior decorations placed . and my friend I. P. Rogers must nc be overlooked" said Uncle decidedly
 ''He does things proper, that l know
 and of his prices, for honest vorl
 you can blow"
 Having provided cage for you 4 bird" said Uncle Josh to Charles i've must now look to the furnishin
 for it." Thereupon Polly energetica ly declared she heard so much of th
 goods and prices at Prescott Suppl
 House that she desired to go there. Th
 result was they were ushered in l such fine display that the girl wa Y puzzled at first how to select, bU r she soon yielded to the seductivenei
 of magnificent Parlor suit, bee room suit in oak, golden finish; d these she added a dining-room SC e complete, and an ornamental writin r. desk for hubby"
 "These house fixings remind me V remarked the old man, ''that W
 haven't purchased your dishes, h IT chen utensils, handy house-6xing l. etc, and the most famous stock 1t extent, quality and completeness !. to be found at T. W. Otis" But tt e average reader need not be told whs IT an array Polly had to select iron a There isn't thing in this line tn; e cannot be had of him in great va r. iety and at wonderfully low price o Polly's order suggested her thoroug $ appreciation.
 $ At the grocery store Uncle Jos h waxed philosophical. Never negle' Ie your larder," said he. "That in d portant agent of housekeeping col 's trols masculine temper, to that en
 you must patfoaize a grocery firm d whom VOL can depend for hone n goods. For number of years d have found R. il. Burmister & Sol Il Go. perfectly reliable. You are sure of find careful dealers, always flu
 stocked with everything in staple al is fancy groceries, fresh and first-clas W Including the famous Chase x Sa rs born coffee and Casino canned goods y no shelf-worn goods at this store, ar g. plices down t0 brass tacks.'

 kill the best of everything, and ke'
