told of an invalid mother who had not

related how they had all arranged to
spend their vacation at the dear old
home their united efforts as workers
had saved. Could not Minna come.
It would mean life and happiness to
the dear old mother.
I'VE all have our troubles" growled
Wilson.
Let me give my vacation to Miss
Durham" pleaded Lewis softly.
The manager regarded him fiercely.
But it was all put-on. Steel-hearted

Lewis Daniels proceeded to the Of

letter on Miss Durham's desk. He
had barely done so when she ap-
preached it.

Daniels?" asked the girl, with her u.s.

"Hem-why, yes. quite So" stumbled
Lewis guiltily. you see, that is
about your vacation"
Eyes, you told me-" responded Min

"The-hem-special time you de-

weeks in August?" continued Lewis.
1T will be all right-two weeks, full

She looked up into his face, her
lips parted, as If unable to compre-

spoke. Her eyes seemed reading his

ooh, you can't mean it," she
breathed. ut can't be true!" and then
as he silently nodded, too overcome

A very fashionable young man stop
ped at florists one hot summer day
to order box of flowers sent to his
lady love. At the same time he also
purchased design for the funeral of
a friend. On the card for the box he
wrote:
Hoping this may help you to bear

The other card bore the one word,

Very soon the girl telephoned:
"Thank you so much for the flowers.
But why did you write Sympathy on

room that night, Lewis Daniels kissed
the spot on his hand where that pearly
tear had rested, he hoped he was, and
he knew that the silent love he bore
for Minna Durham could not fail tc
make him a better one.
Minna went away on her vacation
with a happy heart. Two days later
the manager was called to a distant
city to attend a manufacturers' con-
vention. He assigned Lewis to sub
stitute for him during his absence.
Circumstance or fate, a strange
event happened. Wilson had left
memoranda as to what credits should
be given. There was O firm sold free
ly, with orders not to restrict the ac-
count. A hint caught casually on the
street forewarned Lewis. He collect
ed what he could. shut of the credit
and the day Wilson came home the
firm failed.
$50, you see, II hadn't been here
through giving Miss Durham my vaca-
ton, the firm would be out about
twelve thousand dollars" suggested
Lewis.
Minna learned of this; she learned,
too, of the noble sacrifice of Lewis
soon after her return. The happi-
ness he had brought into her life was
not forgotten.
One day, several weeks later, the
manager called Lewis into his private
office.
New contract" he observed in his
usual terse way, tossing over writ
ten sheet. "The house appreciates
your services-fifty per cent, raise in
salary"
THANK your said Lewis heartily,
II hope I deserve t."
Deserve it," repeated Wilson, and
his lips twitched suspiciously. Dan
iels, you're man with a soul. You
have done some fine, fine things wish
my hard, selfish business had made
my heart as true gold as yours Is"
did you ever-that is, we'll. did
you ever try love?" suggested Lewis,
blushing red as a peony.
ooh, that's the secret, ia it,"
IT think So"
THAT young lady, Miss Durham
suppose you don't regret giving up
the vacation you earned SO hard to
cater to a girlish whim?"
IF you knew what happiness the
within. as you call 1t, led to, you
would not be sorry for letting me
have my own way" replied Lewis
his voice full of earnest emotion
THAT unexpected family reunion
from all l learn, was one OF those
bright spots of life that make people
believe in good and heaven"
"Hem!" coughed Wilson, and turned
aside, CLEAN of the heartsome
sweeping his face. Then, the old
stern business man, he resumed: by
the way-this protege of yours?"

There is no doubt that the employ.
ment of a competent manager for
the business of the city would re-
eault in saving many times the amount
, of ais salary, but the evening paper
'labUrs under mistake when it thinks
Aberdeen can employ such an official.
The second class city law. under
which Aberdeen operates. and which
may termed an Aberdeen-made law,
prescribes just what officials we may
have and their duties, and that law
we must obey.
The success of the commission sys'

The Cost Of Schools.

. In the last issue of the Herald, IN
An article referring to the cost Vi
schools, the statement was made that
the public schools of Spokane, Taco
ma and Portland we're operated at a
per pupil cost of $7.O5. 1898 and $o.42
respectively, which was an error caus'
ed by the careless reading OF spo'
kane paper, and we hasten to cor
rect it.
The figures above represent the TAX
levy per 800 in those cities for ecu
cational purposes. so that the point
sought to be made. that the cost OF
Aberdeen schools was too high, Is still
shown clearly, the tax levy for this
year being $13.4S, or more than double
that of Tacoma or Portland. The
Spokane paper was comparing the
cost in that city Of $7.05, with the
other cities and urging more econom
ical MANAGEMENT. so that Aberdeen
has sufficient ground for complaint
with rate nearly double that Of

grasped by the figures compiled by
the government on foreign commerce,
which says that our exports ending
June 80, 1913, to Japan were greater
than those of all the west of Asia
combined. Exports to Japan in 1913
were greater than any previous year
and were nearly two and one-ha!f
times as great as in 1910. In 1913
they amounted to fifty-seven. million

In these days one would hardly call

should we be inclined to accept an in
vitation to dine on the blossoms of the

the old Aztecs. used to esteem these
flowers. when properly prepared, a
great dainty.
So. in the same way. do natives Of

upon the blossoms Of the bassia tree
They do not need even to cook the

sweet and sickly in odor and taste.
They are sometimes dried in the sun.
when they are kept and sold in ba.
zaars as a regular article Of diet.
The trees are so highly esteemed that
the threat Of cutting down their bassia
trees will generally bring an unruly
tribe to terms This Is perhaps not to
be wondered at when 1t is considered
that a single tree will yield from 200
to 400 pounds of flowers. The Parsees

Advantages Of Low Tax Rate

''If, as now seems probable. Port
land has found a way to lower taxes
while increasing the efficiency of its
public servivce, and its commissions
ers have gone resolutely at the i'm
portant work of giving the people the
best of results. Spokane, from sheer
consideration of self-protection, should
follow suit. Within the coming de-
cade these two cities will engage in
a friendly but vigorous rivalry for
growth of population, commerce and
industry. Moderate taxation and eff
cient city and county government
will be factors in that contest.
The foregoing is from an article in
the Spokesman-Review of Spokane
on the proposed survey of the city
government by the New York bureau
of municipal research Like residents
of many other cities. those of Spo-
kane are protesting against the in
creased cost of government and are
trying to find way to reduce 1t with
out interfering with efficiency.
The quotation brings out point it
would be we'll for us of Tacoma to
bear in mind while we have the bud
get under consideration. We should
keep the tax rate at the lowest point
consistent with efficiency in order
that the coming of new industries
may not be discouraged. 1t is the
practice of prospective investors to
inquire into the tax rate. They de-
sire to know what the burdens of gov
eminent will probably be before they
expend thousands of dollars on new
enterprise. Other things being
equal, the city with the lowest tax
rate has a decided advantage. The
tax rate of Seattle has been going
up and up until the people are com.
planning that it has almost reached
the point Of confiscation. An exor-
bitant tax rate will prevent growth
of population as we'll as investment
in new ndustries.-Tacoma Ledger.
