ton of what he called ''grit," and he
proposed that if the yong people would
locate at Newport he would start them
up in life, as wedding gift. Of course
they accepted and were soon bidding
their friends adieu.
The first of this week a travelstained
party arrived in Newport. Our friend,
Unle Josh, was in charge, and he led
the party straight to a hotel. "The

the bird" said Uncle Josh, now the
first thing We'll look after will be the
the furnishings for it," Hereupon Polly
energetically declared that she had heard
so4much about the Newport Furniture
Co. that she had decided to go there.
The result was that they were ushered
into such bewildering display of furni-
ture that the girl was at first at loss
how to select. But she soon yielded to
the seductiyeness of a magnificent parlor
suit, bedroom suit in oak, antique
finish that would do credit to old An
tlQuity himself. To this she added an
easy rocker for Uncle Josh, and didn't
forget most convenient and ornamen-
tai writing desk for chubby" Charles.
IA pretty good start" said the old
man, "and now We'll go to the Lund
Hardware Co.'s hardware and stove
store.' Here Polly's housewifely in
stincts had full play in marvels of kitch-
en- apparatus. "There is not an estab-
lishment in the country that carries
more comprehensive stock of household
furnishings" remarked Uncle Josh.
Every possible piece of kitchen furni-
ture from tin dipper to a cooking
range is here, in all styles and variety"
If Polly fails to accomplish wonders in
the culinary art, it will not be for want
of superior cooking utensils, for she pur.
chased a Charter Oak range with all
equipments needed in we'll regulated
kitchen, besides a Charter Oak heating
stoue and the heavy hardware. All of
which Unle Josh paid for with delight.
And these house fixin's remind me-"
Uncle Josh continued, that you haven't
got your dishes yet. Now your aunt,
when we were startin' out to house
keepin' years ago, got full set of them
blue lowered dishes. Polly, you know
them silver knives and forks? They was
one of our weddin' presents. Wear we'll?
Course they did! They come from the
Newport Furniture Co.
"Your aunt and uncle have traded
right there in that one china store. and
you know l don't pay any fancy prices
for ANYTHING. We were in there last
week ag'n, but, law what a difference
tween the goods we bought when we
got spliced and what you can get nova
days. / told the old lady she could have
new set of them French china dishes,
but she said hers were good yet; but she
took me up on my offer and lugged home
that fine lamp in the parlor. Take my
advice, and you will stick by A. r. Tiss."
Polly's order suggested her thorough APP
probation.
