One of the favorite stunts of Ross
Evans had been to make his advance
route with the high single-seated
buggy and a pair of the circus rein
deers. He was proud of his team.
II was a 20-mile drive to Weston.
Late in the afternoon, arrayed in
Santa Claus costume, Evans started on
his trip. Mrs. Dalrymple had the lit
tie ones posted at the windows, and
the Christmas tree was lighted. AT
the sound of sleigh bells she switched
on the outside electric light. Into the
yard roadway came the most ravishing-
ly delightful Kriss Kringle with his
wonderful reindeers bedecked and daz-
zling with cleaning tinsel and holly.
It was like a dream, those ensuing
two hours. And Ivy assisted. and It
seemed like a paradise to the wanderer
to revel amidst such joyous friendli-
ness. And when the little ones had
gone to bed, as on that other Christ
mas eve. he stood beside Ivy.

heart longed to impart to you just two

with the brood of little Dalrymples,
and one incident that mad tinged his
whole career, when he and Ivy were
alone trimming the Christmas tree.

next day a position with the circus

Hoppicking Time
Longed For BY
Many Old Timers

Hop-picking time approaches. It is
something of a vacation and a job for
many Oregonians, who count the sea-
sons by their hop picking adventures,
says the Albany Democrat. BOX full"
Wire down!" Memories and antici-
patton are awakened by the familiar
cries.
There is always the element that
HES to the hopyard "for its health.''
And the rest of the pickers will smile
a trifle indulgently at this, salve to
pride. Yet in fact, health for the mind
and body are among the rewards of
hop-picking. as well as health for the
lpocketbook.
The sleepy Indian summer, some
times freshened by showers plods on
through hop season. At the camp, Of
drowsy evenings, old people sit about
the pungent wood fires, and young
people drift together in jolly taffy pulls
and parties. Small boys and girls run
and shrek and play tag with the
woods shadows for reasons none at
all save in response to queer inward
urges they do not themselves under
stand.
First there are the long, unbroken
trellises, loaded down with strippers
and lunches. With song and chatter
the pickers start the season. Two or
three weeks later the yard looks as if
an army had passed that way. The
wires are on the ground. and the lem
on-yellow vines are torn and PLACED.
Load after load Of fat hop-sacks are
waiting at the dryer, and the baler is
busy cramming the crop within stout
wires and strong burlap.
Tents and camp stove food and acrid
wood smoke that somewhow is good to
draw into the lungs; these are the joys
of hop picking. A deck of hop checks,
good for gold. at the bank, is really
but an incidental. Hop picking is an
other pleasant thing held out by Ore
gon to her people.
