A CLOSED MOUTH CATCHES NO FLIES

The Mexicans have a provelb which says En bocd se,yddo entras n'oscas, meaning that Unto a closed mouth no flies enter" And ain't 1t the truth How many friendships have been lost and how many sales prevented by talking too much The loquacous person has lost his job since the inveil ton of the photograph, as now have con- versation with harmonics.
 The person who talks too much is pest unless he Is doing the talking, and the Tanning of the Shrew was thought much of that even Billie Shakespeare made it into play, which has since amused the world theatre goers. We remember an old sheep herder who quit his job because the boss asked him when grub pile would be ready, alleging that there was too-much conversation around the camp to suit him. and many of us have felt the same when some loquacious friend bedims our eardrums with facts and fancies neither new nor interesting. How many of us have time and again refraned from visiting persons who through well-meaning are tiresome on account of their continual tongue -wagging. Con- versaton, like virtue, is jewel intended to press our wants and for other The silver tongued orator is invaribly dull and prosac when oft-repeated harmony becomes tiresome if played of ten enough.
 Therefore, if you would have friends who glad to see you come, place stopper and watch tackle your jaw, and you have learned the rudi- ments of wisdom as brought forth thru Minerva The "mOscas'' may be frozen up, but they will be here again, so do not use your mouth for fy y-rap.

A VOICE FROM THE RHUBARBS

The Anacortes American, a newspaper publish ed within the bounds of Puget Sound takes offense to an article published in the Seattle Daily Times The article in question featured in grand style under the modest heading: Seattle Supplies the World with Cabbage Seed.' The clipping follows in part:
 ''* * giving no credit to Skagit County towns from which points carloads of vegetable seeds are shipped direct to Philadelphia and other cities where the large seed houses are ocated-Seatte hav ing nothing whatever to do with such shipments
 ''Seattle has stolen or attempted to steal just about everything in the state of Washington, nclud ing Mount Tacoma and Bellingham's Chuckanut Drive and long ago had clear title to all the cry in the San Juans. This is the kind of thing that is defeating Seattle's great forward movement and is the thing that his kept of communities in the state from working in harmony with Seattle Theft of everything in sight does not make friends for anybody, and Seattle has the reputation of be- ing the biggest thief the Pacific Coast when it comes to claiming things which are not hers and never can be hers.
 ''Seatte has set Mount Tacoma down in its backyard, and filled Elliott Bay with the San Juan islands in recent publications, and now comes the Seattle Times to take the Skagt delta seed farms up bodily and plant them along the east waterway.'

CHAPTER VIII

Zen thought over the events Of that
evening until they became a blur in
her memory. Her principal recollec-
tlOn was that she had been quite
swept OFF her feet. Transley had in
terpreted her submission as assent,
and she had not corrected him in the
vital moment when they stood before
her father that night IN the deep
shadow of the veranda.
"YD.," Transley had said, your
consent and your blessing. Zen and
are to be married as soon as she can
be ready"
That was the moment at which she
should have spoken, but she did not.
She, who had prIded herself that she
would make race Of It-she, who
had always been able TO slip out of a
predIcament in the nick of time-stood
mUtely by and Yet Transley and her
father interpret her silence as con-
sent. She was not sure that she was
sorry; she was not sure but she would
have consented anyway; but Transley
had taken the matter quite out of her
hands. And yet she could not bring
herself TO feel resentment toward
him; that was the strangest part of
It. 1t seemed that she had come un-
der his domination; that she even
had to think as he would have her
think.
In the darkness she could not see
her fathers face, for which she was
sorry; and he could not see hers, for
which she was glad. There was a
long moment Of tense silence before
she heard him say:
well. well! I had hunch II
might come to that, but didn't reckon
you youngsters would work so fast"
This was stake worth working
fast for" Transley was saying, as he
shook Y.D.s hand. 81 wouldn't trade
places with any man alive" And Zen
was sure he meant exactly what he
said
shes good girl, Transley," her
father commented; "a good girl, even
If bit obstrep'rous at times. She's
got spirit, Transley. an you'll have to
handle her with sense. She's a-s

his daughter, and at these words he
closed them about her. Zen had

and his hands found hers and drew

CHAPTER VIl-Continued,

Up to this time Transley had not
thought seriously of matrImony. A
wife and children he regarded as de-
sirable appendages for declining years
for the quiet and shade of that eve
ming toward which every active man
looks with such irrational confidence
But for the neat of the day-for the
climb up the hill-they would be un-
necessary encumbrances. Transley al
ways took a practical view of these
matters. 1t need hardly be stated that
he had never been in love: in fact,
Transley would have secuted the idea
Of any passion which would throw the
practical to the winds That was a
thing for weaklings, and, possibly, for
women.
But his attachment for Zen was a
very practical matter. Zen was the
only heir to the Y.D. wealth She
would bring to her husband capital
and credit which Transley could use
TO good advantage In his business. She
would also bring personallty-a de-
lightful individuality-of which any
man might be proud She had that
hne combination OF attractions which
is expressed in the word charm. She
had health, constitution, beauty She
had courage and sympathy She Lad
qualities of leadership. She would
bring to him not only the material
means to build a house, but the spir-
itual qualities which make a home
She would make him the envy of all
his acquaintances. And a jealous man
loves to be envied.
SO after the work on the excava-
tions had been properly started Trans
ley turned over the detail to the al
ways dependable Llnder, and, remark
ing that he had not had final settle
ment with Y.D.. set out for the ranch
In the foothills. While spending the
long autumn day alone in the buggy
he was able to turn over and develop
plans on an even more ambitious scale
than had occurred to him amid the
hustle of his men and horses.
The valley was lying very warm
and beautiful in yellow light, and the
setting sun was just Gaping the
mountains with gold and painting
VI anu
on the few clouds becalmed in the
heavens, when Transley's tired team
logged in among the cluster of build
lngs known as the Y.D. The rancher
met him at the bunk-hOuse He
greeted Transley with n firm grip of
his great palm. and with jaws open
in suggestion of sort of carnivorous
hospitality.
Come mp to the house, Transley,'
he said turning the horses over to
the attention of a ranch hand. Sup
per is just ready, an the women will
be glad to see you"
Zen, walking with limp, met them
at the gate. Transley's eyes reassured
him that he had not been led astray
by any process of idealization; Zen
was all his mind had been picturing
her. She was worth the effort. In.

ness suffused him as he walked by
