Its time to begin considering my vacation" said the little stenographer dubiously, as she examined the con- tents of her pocket book. Honestly, sometimes l wonder which is prefer able to stay at home and be con- tent with spending money you earn each week as it comes along, without thought or worry-and have all you need or to begin hoarding early in May and go without your lunch and give up matinees and regard even nickel shows as expensive treats, and fast from all candy and soda-in fact, save every cent you can, and then borrow some. so you can go away for two weeks and spend it!"
 Been saving since early in May, have you2" remarked the bookkeeper, solicitously T thought you were looking thin and worn. l had sup posed 1t was just the need of va cation and I didn't want to mention 1t, as 1 might frighten you. Why don't you stay at home and fatten up? You could get big steak every day in the week at the club for what you'd pay for it once on a vacation"
 The little stenographer eyed him suspiciously, but there wasn't hint of smile in his eyes
 Well, am considering it" she ad- mitted When I think of all the mon- ey I've wasted on vacations it makes me positively i'll Actually I could run an automobile on it!
 Besides, what do vacations amount to-" went on the little stenographer. T can go in bathing here at home just as well--the waters just as re- freshing. I can sit on the sand here, if Hn inc a c sticky and grimy. 1 can walk around under a stylish sunshade and sit on the porch and talk. in my best clothes, exactly as well and as satisfactorily as I can way off somewhere at large expense.
 Then when it's all over~I can look in my purse, count roll of bills that haven't been spent and get seats for all the shows ], want to see during the year.
 Tt would mean chance to get &C., quainted with ones friends, too. Hon. estly, I've got dozens of married friends who I know would be glad to have me go out and see them, but l never have the chance. Think what I could accomplish in the way of re- newing old friendships in the course of two or three weeks!"
 The bookkeeper nodded his com mendation. Then you'll have R chance to take in bunch of summer parks, won't you2" he said. And you can see the sights that you've never had time too look at, and you can hear the good music, take long rides. go out into the woods, pick flowers, have picnics-oh, there's so much one can dol
 That's what they all say" added the bookkeeper. But why can't you be honest? Why don't you say right out that there's no use in your going up to the lake if Jimmy isn't going to be there that if he's to be in town you'd just as soon stay, too? Why don't you tell me truthfully that you expect to sleep as late as you can, just getting up in time to press your best dress before Jimmy arrives to take you out? Why don't you admit that you'd like to spend your money on personal attractions as long as Jimmy's around-and keep him right at hand?"

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
At the Electric Light Works.

Mir Editor An item in The Bulletin this morning said part of the door casing and some of the patchwork had to be removed to allow the new con- denser to pass into the building You were mistaken. It was the casing around a window. This has happened several times, and it will again. In stead of having a large door, as any sensible man of business or firm would they tear down the side of the building every time new machinery comes in or goes out then put it up again, so as to keep masons and car- penters at work. The people are on tt this graft and are watching closely. Take a look for yourself. Everybody s doing it.

COMMISSIONER
STANDS BY GUNS

Insurance Commissioner Ferguson
today directed letter to the attorneys
for the Union Pacific Life Insurance
company advising them that he did
not consider the assets Of the com
pany good enough 30 that he cared to
make any concessions with relation to
them, and that II they desired to in
stitute suit against him they could do
so.
The attorneys wrote him the other
day that they thought he would find It
convenient in the next few days to
make concessions in regard to the
assets. They further said that IL he
did not they would commence suit
against him here instead of at Port
land. The insurance commissioner
says. he will make no concessions and
that they can bring their suit wherev-
er they please.
