Randall Forsyth had been enthralled
by an idea since his visit to Miss
Juliet Glensmore the night before. He
lay awake for hours bordering it;
and, now that he was at his desk, he
realized that he was preoccupied, de-
cidedly to the detriment of his work.
This will never do" he thought i'm
patiently, collecting himself; II
oughtn't to hesitate so. Ii it is a good
opportunity | ought to take it and not
wait on any other persons judgment.

Of it," His foot came down on the
floor with a sudden stamp to indicate
that his spirit was rising to the occa.
sion.
He closed his ledger, found his hat,
and excused himself from the Office
on a matter of business. He hurried
to the rooms of K~rigshaw & Maclaine,
attorneys at law. He was now bold in
his determination.
On the way he ran into Colonel
Krigshaw himself, who was coming
out of a BARRIERS shop, and he entered
at once upon his subject. The colonel
was in a hurry and could not be de-
tanned, so he stopped F~orsyth's
lengthy explanation by a CHEEKY, "All
right, Randall; you'll get the stock.
Put your acceptance in writing, and
inclose a decent check on account"
The die was cast, and he looked the
proposition in the face, believing that
he could carry the plan through to a
successful issue. He walked slowly
back to the office, reviewing the matter
with a calm satisfaction. First there
vas Miss Juliet, level headed and re-
sourceful. He would pay an unstinted
tribute to her inspiration. In fact,
she had suggested the scheme. Then
the stock-it was rather curious that
the $12, 900 block of stock in the Nor
burg Mills should have carried with it

hearsed while walking slowly back to
the office, n of which had a decided
bearing upon Miss Juliet-how could
he afford to marry and live in a suit
able style upon the $1,000 per year?
He had always felt that Miss Juliet's
name had been one of condescend-
ing kindness. From her position as
daughter Of Mr.. Asbury Glensmore
capitalist and banker, and sister of
two rising stars in the commercial
world, she could look Upon a clerk in
an insurance Office from no other
standpoint. Yet he was constantly in
dulging day dreams with reference to
her, and longed for the time when he
would be in position to allow himself
to love her. Would his good fortune
extend TO that happy fruition?
After an hour or more he dispatched
his formal letter to the legal firm,
closing the purchase of the Norburg
stock. His duties at the office be.

leave their service. but he desisted as
yet. At lunch time, as fortune would
have it, he espied Miss Juliet. She
was beaIning from her carriage, a cap

tically; Il have bought the stock and |

office"

with a display of happy feeling, II am

Raincoat for a Bear.

There is n big brown bear in town
that gets coddled beyond belief, says
the New York Press. He belongs TO a
Sixth venue furrier. He is not a
live bear. Even the memory of the
oldest passenger on the elevated road
goeth not back to the time of that
bears demise; yet, in spite of his long
period as a dead one" he is the sleek
est, best-groomed bear in New York.
That is because the furrier takes such
gOOG care OF him.
Storms are never allowed to bat
upon his glossy coat. He cannot De
humpred to the extent of being brought
indoors during a downpour because 1t
is his business TO stand on a pedestal
outside and drum up trade, but the
ext best thing is done for him. He Is
provided with a raincoat. 1t covets
him from snout to tail, so no matter
how hard the rain may beat or the
wind may blow he is insured from
damage thereby.

election. AS to the payment-ah, that
would test mis- mettle! But it was as
plain as daylight. There was his cash
payment OF $4,000. He would borrow
the balance on the stock as security,
obligating himself to pay $4,000 more
per year and live on the remaining
$1,000. The office had always paid
$4,000. In five or six years he would
be comfortably settled in business as
a a of influence and position.

II Pays

IT pays to wear "A smiling face
And laugh our troubles down,
For all our little trials wait
Our laughter or our frown.
Beneath the magic of a smile
Gun doubts will fade away,
AS melts the frost in early spring
Beneath the sunny ray.
1t pays to make n worthy cause
BY making 1t our own;
To give the current of our lives

II pays To comfort heavy hearts.
Oppressed with dull despair.
And leave in sorrow darkencd lines
A CLEAN of brightness there.

AN ANSWER TO PRAYER.
Walla Walla Family Relieved of Want
in Il Remarkable Manner.

The following remarkable true
story is reprinted from the Walla
Walla Union. a paper not given to de-
lusions nor sensations and the story
is therefore all the more worthy of
sober consideration. The Union says:
Mr.. GrOgan is a poor and hard
working farm hand who lives in the
neighborhOod of the Blue Creek school
house. Some time ago his eyes be-
came affected, an examination dis
closing the appearance of cataracts.
For weeks he has CROPPED about en-
deavoring to saw or cut wood, the
labor being essential to the end that
he might support his suffering family.
He has a wife, who has been en-
feebled through sickness, and four
small children, too young to render
help.
few days ago the kitchen larder
was entirely empty, and Mr.. Grogan
and his faithful wife sought solace in
an appeal to the Master. "Wife, the
Bible says, 'Ye receive not. because
ye do not ask I'm almost blind and
the children are hungry; we will ask
of God to help u.s." Thereupon, the
faithful couple knelt at the bedside
and invoked blessing from the
Maker, who always hears.

gan that our hearts have been earn
est in appealing to God"

band. 1--WE are honest and love the

How many farmers in Umatilla
county will plant small amount of
early crops, such as wheat, oats, rye,
barley and vegetables, in a most ia
vorable place and nurture them care
fully, for early exhibits at the Lewis
and Clark fair?
This is proposition now before the
Lewis and Clark exhibit committee
of the Commercial association and the
county court.
As is well known, no exhibits of
grains nor vegetables were saved
from last years crop and before an
other crop is grown, the fair will be
in full blast and people will be won
dering where Umatilla countys eX-
hibit is to be found
The county court and the CONNER
cial association are very anxious to
have some early exhibits of grains and
grasses, for decorative purposes, and
unless special effort is made to Sc
cure these, the Umatilla county space
cannot be properly decorated early in
the season.
If few farmers will plant just a
small amount of grain and grass in a
favored place, where it can be irrigat-
ed regularly and abundantly, in order
to crowd them TO maturity, it would
be highly appreciated by the county
court and the committee.
The committee is working without.
pay. the county court is giving a
great deal of time, without pay,
pride among the citizens, that every
effort be made to secure some very
early specimens for decorative pur-
poses.
Good Space Secured.
Umatilla county has secured her
first choice space, directly in front
and to the left of the main entrance
to the agricultural building and as
this space is in the most conspicuous
position, where every person entering
the pavilion will see the Umatilla
county exhibit, before any other, it is
the desire of the committee in charge
to make the very best showing possi-
BILE.
S. H. Forshaw. who is employed to
collect the exhibit is meeting with
good success and everything is work
ing together smoothly, toward an ele-
giant exhibit from this county, and
the cooperation of the farmers, man
ufacturers and all other lines repre-
sented in the county is heartily solic-
al. tl.st
will be made, and as shearing time
comes before the opening of the fair,
a fresh crop can be secured for this.

JOSEPH MURPHY COMING.
Last of the Big Shows to BE Here
This Year

This Year.
When one witnesses Joseph Muir
phys impersonation of Dan O'Hara
the blacksmith, in his beautiful play
of Kerry Cow" there are two quail
ties so strongly apparent that there is
an almost constant conflict of analy-
sis.
As the mellifluous mixture of old
Irish and broken English-which we
are pleased to call the Irish dialect
falls smooth and full from the lips
of the Kerry smithy, we are con-
strained to believe that the actor is
purely ideal i'm his art; and then
again. when we see the picturesque
group as the horses in being fitted
with shOe-just made on the stage
by Mr.. Murphy-or when we hold
ourselves in pleasureable suspense
awaiting the arrival of the trained
carrier pigeons with news from the
race course, we are convinced that the
actor is a master of realism
The truth is that Mr. Murphy is
simply conscientious actor who gives
his best effort at each stage of his
performance, and so is solved the Sc
cret of the lasting popularity and
prosperity of the only legitimate Irish
actor now before the American public

sented by Mr.. Murphy on Sunday

portunity to exhibit his best Irish tai

At the New York State Assembly of
Mothers, prominent New York doctor
told the 500 women present that healthy
American women were SO rare as to be
almost extinct.
This seems to be sweeping state
ment of the condition of American
women. Yet how many do you know
who are perfectly well and do not have
some trouble arising from a derange-
ment of the female organism which
manifests itself in headaches, back
aches, nervousness, that bearing-down
feeling, painful or irregular menstrua-
ton, leucorrhea, displacement of the
uterus, ovarian trouble, indigestion or
sleeplessness There is tried and
true remedy for all these ailments.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound has restored more American
women to health than all other RENE
dies in the world. 1t regulates,
strengthens and cures diseases of the
female organism as nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been curing
the worst forms of female com
plants.
Such testimony as the following
should be convincing.
Mrs 7. c. Willadsen, of Manning,
Ia, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
81 can truly say that you have saved my life
and cannot express my gratitude to you in
words. For two years tspent lots of money
in doctoring without any benefit for mem
strual irregularities and had given up all
hopes of ever being well again, but was
persuaded to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound and three bottles have re
stored me to perfect health. Had it not been
for you l would have been in my grave
to-day"

Mrs ZcE1Addsen MinA1oltie Henry

Miss Matte Henry, Vice President of
Danville Art Club, 429 Green st., Dam
Vile, Va, writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham -"Many years suffer-
ing with female weakness, Inflammation and
a broken down system made me more anx-
ious to die than to live, ,butLydia f. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has restored my health
and am so grateful for 1t that want every
suffering woman to know what Lydia K. Pink
ham Is Vegetable Compound will do for her"
When women are troubled with
irregular, suppressed or painful mem
situation, weakness, leucorrh9a, dis
placement or liberation of the womb,
that bearing-down feeling, infiamma-
ton of the ovaries. backache, bloating,
Tor fiatulency), general debility, indi-
gestion, and nervous prostration, or are
beset with such symptoms as dizziness,
faintness, lassitude, excitability, irri-
liability, nervousness. sleeplessness,
melancholy, "all-gone" and "want-to-
be-left-alone" feelings, blues, and hope
lessness, they should remember there
is one tried and true remedy. Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at
once removes such troubles No other
medicine in the world has received such
unqualified endorsement. No other
medicine has such a record of cures of
female troubles. Refuse to buy any
other medicine, for you need the best.
A light heart, n cheerful countenance,
and all the charms of grace and beauty
are dependent upon proper action of the
bodily organs. You cannot look well
unless you feel well.
Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women
to write her for advice. Her advice and
medicine have restored thousands to
health. Address, Lynn, Mass.
