The Book ofDeborah
BY JANE LoRIMER

Ann-Not lis to Gain the Honor
Of a Lorimer Heir
Women's quarrels-how many of
them go on unknown to men and
yet most Of them are waged about
men! My several quarrels with Ann
came quite Unexpectedly to stale
mate.
Over to my house she came one
noon, Juggling that wretched little
coon with her. She thrust the crea-
ture into my arms with:
II say, Jane! Don't you want to
adopt Sweetsie?
Pardon me IL I seem ungrateful,"
! murmured tossing the coon back
to her. TO be honest II somewhat
abrupt, I do not want your Ginger"
Who'll take him? I've got to
give him to somebody. Do You think
Chrys will have him"
Mono! What's the matter,
ANN"
Ann regarded me with a very odd
expression.
What made her look so superior?
An uncomfortable -premonition ha-
raised me.
Ann put my foreboding into
words:
SAY, Jane, do you think Daddy
Iorimer will stick to his promise to
give a million to his first grandson %
"Of course he Will" I stammered,
for 1t seemed to me that I was chok-
ing.
We'll. Jane. congratulate me My
son Is going to claim that million!'
/ think I never liked Ann less
than at the moment when I should
have been kind. To speak that way
-as IL she had won a bet-it was
30 like Armand it was 50 shock
ing!
"Oh, Ami" I cried. isn't that

I perfectly wonderfully"
How could / say that I was glad
when l had always expected to be
the mother of the senior Lorimer
heir? When I had always wanted
lion?
And Bob had wanted that honor,
too! 1t wasn't fair to me, but I felt
that Ann had cheated me. Ann
didn't like children. she wasn't fit to
train a child. All the men of our
FAMILY would esteem silly Ann
more than sensible mel She would
affection. Daddy would spoil her!
Hardest OF all to endure would be
my husbands disappointment.
TN so glad for Jim's sake" I
murmured. And I was honest in
that.
Come over to the big house with
me-" Ann urged.
I refused.
TITS better for you to go alone
to tell Mother Lorimer." I said.
If you can't go with me, I'll
walt" said Ann. But you can tell
Deb II you want to-"
"Why-Deb?" I wondered.
Then a terrible doubt assailed me.
1 SouioH put II away. AIMS story
was not to be reconciled with her
conduct Of yesterday. Only poor
foolish childlike Ann would dare to
take such a venture. But If Ann
had understood Deb's cry 1T love

thing to tie Jim to her side, to keep
him from seeing Deb.
Ann would undertake any scheme.

could tell how AIMS mind would

logical, helpful thing that it can see to do under the
circumstances.

We knew that practically all lines of merchandise would
sooner or later, be available at lower prices. We knew that

such reductions in not a few instances.
But we also knew that the public was patiently holding
off buying until lower prices became apparent, not just here
and there, but everywhere and on everything.
Through the leadership of this store, that time is now
brought about, it is here; Varying discounts are now in
effect throughout this whole store-the larger applying to
goods whose market prices have dropped the most and so on.

Uniformed committee on the hing
County ferry system has recon,
mended to the Honorable Board
of County Commissioners that the
Portage ferry run be taken Off
and be put on as a permanent
run between Harper, Vashon
Heights and Fauntleroy Park.
While we do not pretend to
know all the facts in the matter,
it appears to us at first blush that
such an arrangement would be I'M
satisfactory to a large body OF
the Vashon island business and
professional men. What the Va.
shon islanders seem to want Is a
ferry run that will land the foot
and team passengers III the heart
of the city of Seattle-as they
have been used to the past season.
We are informed that such men
as Fred West, II. Steen, E. &.
Thompson, Deppman and Clark,
Edwin Selvin, and others equally
as interested are Of the same mind.
We understand a hearing on this
important measure will be given
soon, and by all means everyone
on Vashon Island who is at all
interested should acquaint himself
with the proposed plan, and form
reasonable opinion to either OPP
pose such a plan, or else give facts
and figures to support such a
change. The News-Record is in
favor of making the ferry run to
the present Marion Street dock.

MEDICATION OF BIDDIE

Dedicated to the "Hennerys"
of Vashon Island
OF Turkey Tom we always hear ;
AS he struts and gobbles around,
Keeping the flock in constant fear
AS he tramps and sweeps the
ground.
His meat is juicy, tender and sweet
And all admit It's fine to eat.
But of Biddie Hen, let's sing a
song;
She is industrious as well as good !;
She sings and scratches all day
long,
And supplies a dandy lot of food
Speckled or white, barred or red,
She's useful alive as well as dead.
Her time was given, year or
more,
10 laying basket Of eggs; bless
Pat!
They paid for lot of fancy -four
And bought our girl summer hat,
She laid some more a pudding to
make,
And pumpkin pies, and johnny
cake.
So when Tom Turkeys name you
laud
Just remember Biddie Dear.
Sing her praise with one accord,
In strains both loud and clear!
Tom roasted well, the rich man
ate,
But Biddie graced the poor man s
plate

We expected a nice fall here,

can be outdone in any other

Winters Whitened Locks
In conclusion we confess we
have one season on the island yet
to explore. We haven't spent a
winter here. All we know about
the winter is what we have been
told by hundreds of pioneers Of
the islands. 1t looks as though the
winters here are about the incest
part Of the year. At least the
poulEymen make point of the
mild winters in arguing this is to
become the greatest poultry sec
ton in America, if not in the whole
world. A big lay of winter eggs,
due to the mildness of the climate,
is the big foundation stone on
which the poultry industry is be-
ing buiIded. When we see as
beautiful a section of country as
can be found in the world; a class
of cultured, spiritually minded
Icitizens; a soil as fertile and as
productive as the valley of the
Nile schools, churches, and homes
second to none in the United
States, and withal, climate which
is actually unrivalled in health,
equableness, and satisfying-it is
not to be wondered at that every

| ry islands for a year are life
