"Sure. 1 noticed that."' responded
Katie. "And. say. did you see tbe rag

It's fit gracious: Looked perfectly

"Perfectly dreadful," echoed Jennie. I
"Well, sbe wanted a pattern, and I
gave her tbe one of that dark blue silk
I bad three years ago," said Katie.
"You did?"
-Yes. I did."
"Ob!"
"And tbe hat she was wearing." con
tinued Katie. "Did you get your optics
on that?"
-Yes."
"Perfect sight, wasn't it?"
"Where did she get it?"
"Ob. down at tbe Moody's. I helped
her pick It out." was Katie's reply.
"Why, why. here comes Mamie now,"
she continued. "Hello. Mamie, you

could be made soft, the rocky roads

there would be small need for putting
off from day to day the task of fulflll

is not within the grasp of man and

An Office Business Only.
A young man called at tbe office of
a justice of tbe peace and with some
hesitation made known bis business,
which was to be married. Tbe jus
tice replied that be thought be could
perform the service and asked if the
young man bad bis license.
"Yes, sir." tbe youth replied.
"Well, where is the young lady?"
"She abes at her father's."
"Well, bring her here."
"She'd rather be married at home,
quire."
"And you expect me to go there and
marry you?"
"Yes. sir. If you please."
"Young man." said the Justice, "this
office of mine Is like a department
store. We sell matches here, but we
don't deliver them at tbe bouse."

PRAYING.
The House Chcplain Responded to the
Journal Clerk's Appeal.
After a rattier lengthy prayer by tbe
chaplulu of the bouse of representa
tives a veteran mpmhef said:
"Tbe chaplain's prayer reminded me
of the most amusing incident I ever
saw during my entire service In tbe
house of representatives. The incident
occurred many years ago, so I uave
forgotteu the names of the actors.
"One day the Journal clerk rushed
into tbe house while tbe chaplain was
praying. He looked through the draw
ers of bis desk iu a busty manner and
then bustled to tbe side of the chap
lain. "'Keep on praying." be urged ear
nestly. 'We can't find tbe journal '
"Mr. Chaplain wan so startled that he
faltered In his prayer, but after a mo
ment he seemed to grasp the situation.
He bowed bis head still lower aud
continued to pray. Tbe usual time
devoted to prayer in the house is snout
a minute. Members began to shift un
easily on their feet, to look at their
watches, and. Instead of bowing their
heads In reverence, they looked at the
speaker pleadingly. The speaker evi
dently ii... i ...!. ibtoriued ot the diffi
culty, and. realizing that the business
of the bouse could not proceed without
tbe Journal, he was willing the mem
bers should tret plenty of prayer. Aft
er ten minutes' solid praying the
preacher showed signs of getting nerv
ous. He knew the members were get
ting restive, aud be looked down to one
of the clerks.
" 'Don't stop,' pleaded tbe clerk. "We
haven't found It yet.'
"Tbe preacher did not stop until he
bad been praying for fifteen minutes,
at the end of which time tbe journal
clerk rushed Into tbe bouse bearing
the precious book under his arm.
"'Amen.' said the chaplain, with a
slgb of relief, and tbe speaker prompt
ly ordered the clerk to read the Jour
nal of tbe preceding day's business."

PROCRASTINATION.
The Habit of Putting Off Doing the
Serious Things of Life.
Much of the unhappiness and Im
providence in life is caused by early
habits of procrastination habits con
tracted unconsciously perhaps when
character la in Its formative stage and
at the very time when most attention
ahould be given to tbe untrained na
ture. It Is so easy to fall Into a happy-go-lucky
way of living, so easy to Jog
along unconcernedly, doing the things
which suit us best and perhaps which
count for the least and leaving undone

and unexpressed all the thoughts and ,
unused all the advantages which are
really to essential to a better under
standing of ourselves and the wonder
ful life being lived about ua!
What a bright world of promise ful
filled this would be If responsibility
could only be made half as attractive
as some of the minor diversions which
seem to furnish so much pleasure to
Cats and Dogs.
According to u French investigator,
domestic animals have a certain
amount of reasoning power, often act
upon reflex notions and can associate
ideas from which they draw infer
ences. Dogs, aud still more so cats, he
says, learn to imitate the voice and
movements of tbelr masters or mis
tresses. He bos noticed old watchdogs
which wbeu they barked bud peculiar
intonations which resembled the voices
of tbelr masters. Cats try by the way
in which they cry to make their mis
tresses understand exnetly what they
want.
Appropriate Styles.

"How do you mean?"
"Why. when she reud the story about
the sailors deserted on the lonely is
land she wore a costume of muroon,
and at her lecture on Celtic wit her
dress was trimmed with Irish point."

Ladd Park, which is located in the center of Laurelhurst, is to be im
proved at once, and when the proposed improvements have bet., made it
will be the most magnificent peptic park in Portland. These improve
ments include the creation of extensive botanical garder.a, an enlarge
ment of the present natural lake now there, and scenic driveways and
walks.
Residence property fronting on or convenient to a public park is al
ways in demand and brings high values. The boulevards of Laurelhurst
have been made to conform to the proposed driveways of the park. As soon
as the improvements in Ladd Park are completed, then prices in Laurel
hurst lots will advanee another notch or two.
