WHAT WIFE SAYS "ooEs."
But IL Sometimes Is Bad for tho
Painting.

When a property-owner knowD notD'
ing about paint it is bad fer Lno
property-owner, and bad for the paint
er. It would not be so IL the property
owner would always hire a skilled
painter, and then really leave every.
thing to him. But the HORSEPOWER So
often fools himself on one or the other
of these things
The skilled painter in every commu.
nifty has some OF the most incomr etent
competitors that ever vexed a consci.
entious workman or contractor, and
the incompetents get jobs generally by
working cheap. In the next place.
when the skilled painter is hired, they
do not leave everything to him, as so
many property-owners boast they Co
They interfere most ignorantly and
most fatally. They insist sometimes
on using paint materials without in
vestigating whether they are good or
not. Or perhaps they insist on the
painters hurrying the work.
I'm not going to have that painters
mess around my house a month" the
wife says, and what wife says goes
at the cost of lot Of wasted painting
money
II the painter stays away a few
days to allow the paint to thoroughly
dry the owner says: THAT painters
neglecting this work-guess he's side
tracking me for Jones work. I won't
stand It,"
What chance does painterhave to do
good work for man who is continually
nagging at him and otherwise handi-
Gaping him without meaning it, or
course)? A poor Job is the inevitable
result of such interference.
Poor painting costs the Housewives
money-don't forget that. 1t might

She. prefers hats to toques.

The question has already come up as a mat
ter of speculation in official circles Of Wash.
ington society to whether Miss Helen Taft
will finish her college course or be a White
House debutante within the next two years.
The question undoubtedly will be left TO her
own inclination to settle.
One afternoon last June when the eyes Of
the nation were on Chicago there emerged
from one of the big, substantial brick houses
in Is street Washington little group of
figures, including woman who led the way
as they turned into Sixteenth street and
walked southwark toward the White House
She swung along with step as elastic as that
of the boy and girl accompanying her. They
talked and laughed as they went, and their
voices, all pitched to the same pleasant con-
tralto tone, bespoke their kinship.
Perhaps they noted through the green vista
of Lafayette park the glistening columns of
the north portco of the White House. The
picture familiar one to all of them.
That to the woman it stood for the moment
as the concrete prescntment of fate toward
which her steps had turned % years before
almost to the day who shall say? Her clear,
bluegray eyes looked as unblinkingly at the
reality as they had at the vision. Though in no
sense under the spell of that faculty which
Thurlow Weed years ago declared had Devil
dered many men whose eyes were turned in
that direction, she was too frank to feign an
indifference to the aluring possibility of a
residence within its walls She had can
didate at Chicago that day, and If the question
were put squarely to her she was ready I'M
hesitatingly to avow him.
The woman and children made altogether an
inconspcuous little group as they crossed
Pennsylvania avenue and entered the big triple
department building on the corner OF Seven
teenth street The Waterman at the door OF
the corridors recognized them, however, as
they made their way toward the office OF the
secretary, returning the grnning salutatons
that greeted them on all sides
Mrs. Taft wore a white linen suit. A flower
laden hat shaded her face, which retains all
it's girlhood contours The door closed upon
them, and it was five o'clock before they re-
appeared Was it the same party. or had
that history-making afternoon wrought some
subtle change? Mrs. Taft, wife of the secre
tary of war, was now Mrs. Taft, wife OF a
presidential nominee. Her step was lighter,
her eyes brighter Happy? Surely. Her can
didate had won the first approaches to ulti-
mate victory.
They went as they had come, on foot, stop
ming in the street to buy an extra for the
pleasure of approaching the good news from
another angle.
The wife of a man already one of the most
conspicuous figures in public life in America
Mrs. Taft became from that moment natonal
figure. The November victory of the Republi
can party but concentrated the attention which
had been upon her for five months. as the wife
of its nominee There were no longer favo
rites in the field. Comparisons were out of or
der. The names of the president-elect and his
family became household words throughout the
land.

Willy STRANGER BUNCOES HEPPNER
BANK FOR $1,000 AND GETS AWAY

the cashier, Davis asked and received
a loan of $1,000 in lieu Of the $500
from the Spokane company. Davis
drew $500 in cash and left s4OO to
his credit in the bank.
Davis represented that he was go
ing to Butter creek to buy horses,
but continued on to Arlington, where
he boarded a westbOund train.
This was last Sunday. Nothing
more was heard of Davis until $50
check. cashed by Davis at Salem,
was presented here today for pay
ment.
The stranger reached Heppner two
weeks ago and began inquiring for
real estate. He stated to different
parties that he was farmer Of the
Willamette valley, but lived in Port
land, and was desrous Of buying a
ranch in Morrow county. He gave
the name of James Davis, and was
Immediately taken in charge by Nose
Ashbaugh, a real estate dealer, AND
was given the name Of H. E. Burch-
ness, a retired Morrow county farm
er, who has large tract of land ly-
ing just north Of Lxington, and Is
now living in Portland.
In a few days Davis gave out that
he had purchased the Burchnell land.
He had deeds recorded and went to
W. L. Smith, abstractor, and request
ed a nabstract made of the entire
tract of Burchnenll land. The deeds
all seemed to be regular to the abb
stractor, as they were all supposed
to have been made in Portland before
notary public by the name of Nor
man Butler, and witnessed by Will
liam Allen and David Jones, and
were so sworn to by Butler. The cash
consideration called for in the deed
is $4,000, or s25 an acre.
Davis went to the Bank Of Hepp-
ner and turned over his abstracts
showing the land to be free from all
encumbrances and applied for loan
from a Spokane loan company which
was duly accepted. Then turning to
w. S. Wharton, cashier, Davis asked
that Wharton loan him s1200 in lieu
Of the $500 loan asked for from the
Spokane concern.
Instead Of going TO Butter creek,
Davis hired a team from local barn
TO drive to lone, but when he got on
the road he asked the driver If he
knew the way to Arlington and find
ing that he did, then requested that
he Davis) be driven TO the latter
place. He took the train from Ar
lington at about 4 o'clock, and moth
ing more was heard of Mr.. Davis un-
81 yesterday, when $50 check came
in from Salem, which had been CASH
ed there by the United States Ma
tional Bank by Davis personally.
Ed. Burchnell son of the man
whose place Davis is supposed to have
bought. came to Heppner today and
said ne had received a letter from

w. s. Wharton, the cashier of the
bank of Heppner, who permitted a
wiley stranger to bunco the bank out
of $1,000, spent last night in Pendle-
ton. leaving this morning for Hepp-
ner. He had been in Walla Walla
and did not know he had been swim
died until he reached this city. Mr.
Wharton was accompanied by his
wife.
While here Mr.. Wharton held a
conference with District Attorney
Phelps, but as the first thing to do
is 10 catch the man, nothing OF I'M
portance resulted from the confer
ence. The district attorney has also
communicated by phone with the
sheriff Of Morrow county, and the lat
ter official is now putting forth every
effort to land the swindler. 1t is
probable that the bank will offer
reward for his capture.
The following account Of the swim
die was wired to the oregonian from
Heppner, Saturday night:
Officials of the Bank of Heppner
found today they had been bilked out
Of $1,000 by a suave stranger, who
gave the name of James Davis and
who represented that he had purchas-
ed for s2O,0 900 cash the H. E. Burch-
nell ranch near Lexington, this coun-
ty.
