Tip 70 NeiSu Merchants

do you know what would be q
good thing for the merchants of this
city to doS" said prominent busi
ness man to a Herald representative
today. Establish rest home for
out Of town visitors; place for in
stance where ladies could go while
waiting for their husbands or where
they could meet and converse after
their shopping was concluded.
my idea would be for each mer-
chant to contribute certain sum Der
month and with fund so raised con,
struct small building, and put 6
lady in charge to look after the com.
fort of visitors. -
THE way it is now when people
come in from the country they have
to stand around in the stores or sit in
their wagons and the long wait soon
becomes tiresome, whereas if a rest
home were provided they could make
it their headquarters and | believe II
would serve to bring in more people
than now come here.
II understand that the city of Eu-
gene has place of that kind, and il
that be the case we should be able to
maintain a similar institution. -
The idea is good one and the
Herald believes if the business men
will take the matter up, the expense
would be very slight as compared to
the benefits that would be derived. -

THE RIGHT WAY TO WALK.
Preservation OF Good Figure DE-
pSndS 10 Some Extent on This
"A New Theory.

A friend who leads very active
life has theory that the preser.
walton Of good figure depends to
some extent on the manner OF
walking, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer. Many people, she says,
as they advance in years allow
themselves to walk heavily and
without elasticity, so that the
whole weight rests on the lower
part OF the limbs ut every step.
the only effect Of exercise being
weariness Of the legs and feet. In.
stead of this his body should be
held erect and poised so as to have
a perfect balance; in this way the
muscles are braced and strength.

of necessity he well expanded, and
1t seems quite reasonable to sup
pose that tho tendency to increase
OF weight may be checked. At all
events Il lighter step and a brisker
and more enjoyable manner Of
walking can be kept up, and that
in itself is a very great gain.

AaGAaeERs or CONGRESS.
xEaa Who Were Born IN ono Section
end Represent Another at
.Washington.

There are few men In congress
who are natives OF southern
etates, but who have moved north
and represent northern constit-
.uencies, says the Washington
Post. There is but one man who
is q native of a northern state
who have been elected from the
south, and in this case he comes
from a border state. Very many
men born in eastern states are
now representing western states.
This is very natural, an the tide Of
immigration has been from east
to west, and the west has been
peopled by the east.
1t is a rare thing, however, to
find a man in congress from the
east who was born in the west.
But there are some. Fowler, Of
New Jersey, and Greene, of Mas
sachusetts, are natives of Illinois.
Perkins, of New York, was born in
Wisconsin. Hearst, Of New York,
is a native of California.
The men who were born In the
south and now represent northern
constituents are Senator Hnwlcy,
Of Connecticut, who was born in
North Carolina; Senator Cullom,
of Illinois, native Of Kentucky,
a border state, however; Senator
Newlands, Of Nevada, a native Of
Mississippi; Speaker Cannon, Of
Illinois, and Representative Dix.
on, Of Montana, and Shober, Of
New York, were born in North
Carolina; Representative Mar
shall Of North Dakota, is n native
of Missouri. West Virginia in
not always counted southern
state, and the fact that her two
senators are Ohio born scarcely
makes the exception to the rule
that few northern men are sent
to congress from the south.

If you want some Of the
Best Bargains You Ever Got in Your Life

From now until August st we want
to close out our line of sprlng and sum-
mer dress goods for two reasons 1st, We
don't want to carry them over and have
money locked up in them that will not turn.
2nd. Our store is small and running
over with goods, and we are compelled to
have the room, as fall goods have already
begun to come in.
For the above reasons we have not
made prices that will create just little
talk and sell few patterns, but we have
made prices that will clean up every piece,
and do it quickly. So if you want first
choice, come at once. If you have no
money bring chickens, eggs or bees wax.

poor fellow was as happy as Adam

till the wedding appeared, then
she said: "I was only flirting"
Then b. was in critical condition,
and of course said to himself if he
ever had the opportunity Of speak
ing to her again, he would threat.
en- to commit suicide or MAKE his
home in some foreign country, but
she left the county, and B. was
left to mourn his trouble and
bereavement, and now he lives a
retired life and tries to instruct
others. Bless your soul, the pres
ence of lady makes b. blush and
turn pale behind his ears and
tremble in his knees, and now you
can easily see the reason B. don't
want to experiment with matri-
mony again. We can only extend
our heartfelt sympathy, and hope
he will recover and return to him.
