Old, But Good,

A professor in an agricultural col
lege had a hobby. He believed and
preached on all occasions that the
food of animals should be cooked, just
like that of human beings. One day,
while out driving in the country, he
passed n farm, the owner of which
was standing in a pen near the road
feeding to a drove of swine generous
quantities of corn in the ear. This
caused the learned theorist to stop
and forthwith hail the violator of his
theory: "NIy friend, don't you know
1t is wrong to give those hogs feed
that has not been cooked? Don't you
know that if you would cook that
grain before issuing it they would di-
gest it in just one-half the time it
takes them as it Is now eaten?''
"Waal, stranger, suppose they would;
I'd like to know what in the - time
is to a hog'-The Argonaut.

THE PENDLETON
MAN GETS WISER
After Thorough Investigation He Is
Convinced Of Our Superior
Methods OF Piano Buying
and Selling.
A Plot of Several Years Standing
Entirely Exposed by the Eiler's
Music House.

The statement has been made by
the salesman of an erstwhile promi-
nent oregon concern now doing busi-
ness with a tremendously long handle
to their name, in a recent issue of the
Tribune, that a bookkeeper had Sc
cured a piano from them for 1915,
for which another gentleman was
found to have paid them $500 year
ago. These antiquated methods of
doing business we thought had been
thoroughly exposed and exploded by
the Eiler's Music House. AS long as
six years ago, facts and figures were
published in the Portland daily pa
pers showing where the Wiley B. AL
len Co. had sold certain makes of
pianos, among them such grades as
Ludwig" to certain parties for 5000
and even S400, while the same iden-
tical thing was obtained by others for
about the right price, or $1S5 and
thereabouts. Evidently the success
ors Of this Pendleton house have
deemed it wise to reform somewhat
since then, but it would seem to us
that no house guilty of charging one
man $500 for a piano for which they
take 1875 from another, would bra
zenly publish this fact. We are still
inclined to believe, however, that the
same grade and quality of piano sold
to the alleged bookkeeper for 1875
could have been obtained from us for
even less than that price. We do not
charge one man a great big price,
and take what we can get from an
other. Our aim is to sell instruments
at the lowest margin of profit, and we
guarantee absolute satisfaction in
every instance, or money back.
We absolutely do not handle pianos
or organs on consignment or COM
mission. We buy direct for spot cash
| only thus getting the benefit of all
cash discounts, which amounts we
guarantee to save the purchaser.

Mrs Melvina Webb, mother of Mrs
w. r. Ellis, died at the home of Judge

noon, aged 75 years, months and
19 days Thus far funeral arrange
ments have not been entirely per-
fected, but the interment will be in
the Walla Walla cemetery, and it is
probable the body will be taken to
that place on the o'clock train
Monday morning, and the services

residence before the body is taken to

short Story of Life.

The stork disappears and we look
into the cradle and behold a male
child. After running the gauntlet of
measles, mumps and chickenpoX, he
enters school. At the age of 10 he is
a red-headed, freckle-faced boy and
the terror of the neighborhood. At
the age of 12 he is an apprentice in
a printing office. At IS he has ac-
quired two cases of long primer and
an army press, and is the editor of
a country newspaper. At 20 he is
married. At 80 he is bald-headed,
stoop-shouldered and the father of a
large family. At 35 he is a corpse
in a cheap pine coffin, and as 500 de-
linquent subscribers file past his bier
for the last look, they are heard to
say: "He was a good fellow, but he
couldn't save his money"
