Curious Incident In the Career Of
Novelist Crockett.

s. X. Crockett. the novelist. told Il
rather remarkable story OF an incident
that befell him in his early writing
days. before fame and fortune had
come TO him and while he struggled
on for living At that time he was
Obliged to write for very small sums
indeed. aud among the publications TO
which he contributed columns and half
columns was the st. James Gazette.
London penny evening newspaper
one morning the postman brought TO
Mr. Crockett letter from the editor
of the St james Gazette containing
small check as payment for con
tribution. Mr.. Crockett knew that
nothing was due 10 him. that he had
been paid for all his articles and Ire
markable man he did the check up In
an explanatory note and returned II TO
the editor
The next day back came the check
from the editor remarkable man -
with note saying 1t was due. The
st. James Gazette had published an
article from the pen Of Mr., Crockett
which had not been paid for; hence
the check. Again Mr.. Crockett-re-
markahle man returned the check,
and still the remarkable editor refor-
wardcd II, this time with the article
cut out Of the columns ~ the ST.
James Gazette
Now comes the curious feature OF
the incident When Mr. Crockett clap
ped eyes on the article ne was aston
ished To find II one of his dreams
matcriallzcd one night going TO bed
extra tired he dreamed that a good
idea for st James Gazette column
had occurred to him; that he then and
there sat down. wrote Il and posted Il.
Next ,mornlng he remembered his
dream and made up his mind some
day TO write the article exactly as he
dreamed he had written II. when. To
his establishment. came article and
check from the newspaper Few writ
ers earn checks while asleep.

Quarter Million Dollars
In One Month.
Wonderful Experience Of
Portldnd's Leading Bust
ness House.

During the month Of September the
extraordinary record of selling a
quarter million dollars worth Of pi-
amos Of various styles was made by
the Eilers Piano House with head
quarters for the Pacific coast at Port
land, Oregon. OF course 1t is to be
remembered that the Eilers concern
is the largest wholesale and retail
house in America today, nevertheless
this wonderful volume of business
for one month only and representing
only their retail department, speaks
volumes for the great possibilities of
the Pacific northwest. Mr.. Thomas,
superintendent of agencies for the
Eilers Piano House, stated today that
his firm had planned to exceed even
this great business during the month
Of October and that reports from all
out Of town stores 80 far go to show
that the october Cut Prices Campaign
Is stimulating immense buying. For
ton, where the local sale is being con-
Quoted, as many as eight pianos have
been sold in one day, and it is not to
be wondered at when one looks at
the sale tags and the terrific price
cutting in the finest and choicest OF
American pianos, it is no wonder that
sales are made in large numbers.
Only 1867, 1918 and in some instances
as low as $217 and $24S, is now asked
for pianos that always have sold for
$G25, 1915, $500 and S465. Any one
can now easily save from 1854 to
$23S, and even more on piano. Then
there are the Talking Machines, prices
which simply means that everyone
buys a Phonograph. Fine disc ma
chimes selling at only sS.75, s10.S0,
$11.6O, $14.7O and $500. Just think
that so small an outlay will enable
you to hear the best and greatest
singers of the world right in your own
home. Poor indeed is the home that
today can't afford the benefits of
music, During the remainder of this
week there will be all kinds of money
saving bargains in every kind OF
musical instrument from harmon
lea to a two thousand dollar piano
at the Eilers Piano House, S1S Main
street, Pendleton.

Tallman & Co. make

this square deal offer because they
are authorized to do so by the maxi
ers of Mi-o-na Tablets, and they are
willing to have this statement appear
in the East Oregonian because they
/ know the offer is genuine.
/ And while it may be that there are
about eight cases in 100 that are too
/ far gone for Mi-o-na to cure, we are
willing and ready to take all the
chances, and if Mi-o-na does not cure.
any dyspeptic can have his money
back
Even with this liberal offer, Tall
man & Co. will not have to refund
burt q very small percentage, because
the incurabe dyspeptics will find
so much relief in Mi-o-na that they
will once again look upon the sunny
side of life, and will continue to use
Mi-o-na.
Now. reader, you may say how can
the makers of Mi-o-na make such an
offer? How do they know that 80
per cent of the users will be cured,
and that the other per cent, or the
incurables. will be relieved?
Why it's all very simple. We've
made this same offer in 1000 towns
before we made it here, and we have
figured out the percentages, so that
when we make the statement we know
II to be absolutely true.
