calendar. Mother Nature was
still keeping up her customary
attitude.
There had been a soft rain in the
night. and every spear of grass vas
brilliantly green and tipped with crys-
tai. The smoke bushes in the garden
plot and the asparagus bed beyond
them looked misty as the sun rose
higher. drying the soaked earth and
dripping branches. Spiders webs, mar
oyels Of lace, dotted the short grass un-
der the apple tree. Every flower that
had a fragrance was pouring it CRATE
fully into the air; every bird with d
joyous note In its voice gave it more
joyOusly from a bursting throat, and
the river laughed and rippled in the
distance at the foot of Town House
bill. The dawn grew into full morn
ing, and streams Of blue smoke rose
here and there from the Edgewood
chimneys. The world was alive and 50
beautiful that WaitstiIl felt like going
down on her knees in gratitude for
having been born into it and given a
chance Of serving it in any humble
way whatsoever.
Wherever there was Il barn. in Riv-
efbOrO or E~dgewOOd. one could have
heard the three legged stools being
lifted from the pegs, and then would
begin the music Of the milk pals; first
the resonant sound of the stream in the
bottom Of the tin pail. then the soft,
delicious purring Of the cascade into
the full bucket. while the cows serene
ly chewed their cuds and whisked
away the flies with swinging tails.
Deacon Baxter was taking his cows
to a pasture far owe the hill. the feed
having grown too short in his own
fields. Patty was washing dishes in
the kitchen and Waitstill was in the
dairy house at the butter making, one
pf her chief delights. She worked with
speed and with beautiful sureness. pat
ting. squeezing, rolling the golden mass
like the true artist she was, then turn
ing the sweet scented waxen balls out
of the mould onto the big stone china
platter that stood waiting. She had
been up early. and for the last hour
she had toiled with devouring eager
ness that she might have a little time
to herself. It was hers now, for Patty
would be busy with the beds after she
finished the dishes, SO she drew a fold
ed paper from her pocket, the first
communication she had ever received
in Ivory's handwriting, and sat down
to read it:

Acid Stomachs Are
Dangerous
Common Sense Advice by a Diss
tinguished Specialist

"Acid" stomachs are dangerous
because acid irritates and inflamea
the delicate lining of the stomach,
thus hindering and preventing the
proper action Of the stomach, aud
leading to probably nine-tenths of
the cases of stomach trouble from
which people suffer. Ordinary
medicines and medicinal treat4
ments are useless in such cases,
for they leave the source of the
trouble, the acid in the stomach,
as dangerous as ever. The acid
must be neutralized, and its form
alton prevented, and the best
thing for this purpose Is a teas
spoonful of bisurated magnesia, q
simple antacid, taken In little
warm or cold water after eatings
which not only neutralizes the
acid, but also prevents the fer
mentation from which acidity Is
developed. Foods which ordinar-
lily cause distress may be eaten
with impunity If the meal is folA
lowed with little bisurated mag
nesia, which can be obtained from
any druggist, and should always
be kept handy.

HAVE A FREE CIGAR?

Every reader of The Times can
have a free cigar IL they will go
to the trouble of cutting out the
Winfrey-Parker Cigar Co.'s ad-
vertisement In this issue.
This factory is the largest
Havana cigar factory in the
Northwest. You can find their
cigars in over 600 stores in Ore
gon and Washington, even in Sc
attic and Portland, Oregon; but
the factory is in Tacoma, where
their cigars, boxes and advertis-
ing matter is made, supporting
from 20 to 80 men. Every cigar
maker In this factory Is an ex-
pert. Every cigar is hand made.
Tacoma capital is invested exclu-
sively In this concern. II is
growing fast; SO hands will most
likely find work here before New
Years. Next year SO more men
and women will most likely be
employed. If the readers of The
Times like to see this factory
grow, cut out the "ad" In this Is
sue, get a free cigar, and in the
future insist upon the Winfrey-
Parker cigars, which carries the
Union Label.
See their display at eSS Pa

are packed in Havana. Cuba. See

HIRAM JOHNSON MAY BE
CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT

Dean Lewis of the Pennsylvania
university, recently progressive
nominee for governor in that
state, George T. Osborne of New
Jersey, George Record and Amos
Pinchot of New York.
Unless Gov. Johnson consents
to lead the presidential ticket in
1916 it is the idea of Record and
Osborne that they will return to
the republican party resolved to
carry on a fight within the party
for such advanced propositions as
government ownership of rail-
roads, reform in land taxation and
similar measures.
Party Not Broken Up.
The progressives who oppose
any present return to the repub-
lican party and insist on pro-
gresslve candidate in the presi-
Dental race, urge as their main
reason for not going back to re-
publicanism the obvious intention
of the republicans to name a re-
dictionary candidate, some man
like Root of New York or Weeks
of Massachusetts.
Johnson has been told that 1t
is mistake to imagine that the
progressive party in other states
has gone to pieces.
1t is the leadership of the party
that has lost courage.
Gov. Johnson does not feel
called upon to say at this time
what he will do. Something will
depend, of course. on what he
hears from progressive leaders in
other parts of the country.
Next month Col. Roosevelt is
to be guest of Gov. Johnson at
Sacramento and there will, no
doubt, be further talk on the
subject then.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 16. =
Whether to be a candidate for
United States senator or for pres
ident of the United States is a
question now up to Hiram w.
Johnson for early determination.
johnson has been casting eyes
toward the senatorial toga soon to
be laid aside by John ID. Works,
but recently new duty has been
shown him--that of being presi-
dental candidate of the progress
sive party.
Johnson has been the one sue
cessful leader of the progressive
movement. In his state the pro-
gressives have been in power five
years. Johnson is starting a sec
ond four-year term as governor,
having won by $4,000 votes over
his republican opponent at the
election last November, when all
other progressive votes were
slumping. His record is one of
complete fulfillment Of progress
sive promises.
T. II. Proposed 1t.
The suggestion that johnson
might be chosen as the progressive
presidential candidate came first
from Col. Roosevelt, who has
made it quite clear that he does
not care to make the race again.
Victor Murdoch, ex-congress-
man from Kansas, who is now
chairman of the progressive ma
tional committee, shares the
Roosevelt idea about Johnson.
Other eastern progressive lead
ers who have found their way to
Sacramento lately or have written
to johnson on the subject are

Told the Truth

A Boston physician tells of a Dr. Reed, who, in his time, was one of the prominent medicos of the Hub. His large practice included many patients outside the city limits, and these he visited in his buggy.
 One day Dr. Reed brought a new horse, with which he was much pleas ed until he discovered that the animal had an insurmountable objection to bridges of all kinds and could not be made to cross one.
 Inasmuch as at that period it was necessary to cross certain bridges in order to reach any one of the sur rounding towns, the doctor decided to sell the horse. He did not think it necessary to mention the animals pe- culiarity, but was much too honest to misrepresent him, and, after some thought, produced the following ad- vertisement, which he inserted in a local paper:
 "For Sale-A bay horse, warranted sound and kind. The only reason for selling is because the owner is obliged to leave Boston. ."-Pittsburgh Chron- icle-Telegraph.
