But even before the first flower was

A great, ugly-looking green dragon
fly rose loudly buzzing from the flow

mass of bloom yet unexplored, dived

in alighting with moments dispatch

rough wings brushing dimpled

1t was all over in a minute. A
startled cry Of feminine terror, panic

knee-deep in black, Shiny mud, with a

THE DEAREST GIFT.

When all the dancing feet are still,
The roses bloom is shed and spend,
When she has waltzed her happy fill

Tired of the whirl and jollity.
Her lovely eyes weighed down with

Then, at the last she comes to me.
And she is all my own-to keep!

We say our good nights left and right
Now I'm the be-enved chap!

Than this best, dearest gift of fate
TO have sweetheart for a wife?

TWO REASONS.
No One Need Neglect Their Teeth Any
Moreno Pain, Small Cost.


The two great reasons why people
used to neglect their teeth were: Fear
OF being hurt, and the expense.
When you come TO think it over now ,
it is truly remarkable what a revolu-
tion has taken place in modern dental
methods. Wise Brothers, the famous
Portland dentists, are among the FORE
most in the United States in this re-
spect. Their announcements that there
is not particle of pain connected with
any dental work done in their office is
literally true. And it is also literally
true that every person who goes to
these dentists is greatly surprised at
the small cost of having the teeth put
in fine older. A whole set of teeth
now costs less than some time ago it
cost to have one pulled or filed. There
is no excuse whatever for anyone to ne.
glect his, or her, teeth. Even the man
or woman receiving the lowest wages
paid in this Northwest can we'll afford
to have the teeth looked after and be.
gin to enjoy life.
Again, a word about the children.
When young person has second teeth,
fathers and mothers should see to it
that their son or daughter goes to the
dentist and has the teeth examined.
Oftentimes just little work before it
is too late saves the teeth pure and
beautiful for lifetime. Take time by
the forelock and consult Wise Brothers,
