A few years ago I was a, commercial traveler. At one time we received very tooO salaries, but 1 merchants gut to tuttlng'-ufMbe- field Into so many small 5lstricta that they gradually cut'up the lalurles into a good many little ones My salary kept coming down till at last; Just before' setting out on my re turn from a trip, I received a note from i my employers stating that my emcee would no longer da requireu. What I was to do, how' support my wife and child. I did not know. My train did not leave for several hours, and I speui tie time In a bote! lounging." ' The distance to the depot n-ns -but a five minutes' walk, but I started half nn hour before train time I and had tweuiy-tire minutes to wait there. ' Seating myself, I watched the people coming and going or waiting, as I wan. A young man with tbe curi ous t'omblnaUou of ted hair aud black eyes paKHed before me, went Jo tbe ticket office aud ' ijiiix-hasud ;a tk ke' He carried a ult cuMe. There was nothing' remarkable about that, for nowadays every one carries a suit case. Indeed, one of my own was resting on the seat beside me. When the train was called I entered a sleeping car, where I found the young man witb tbe red hair, and black eyes.; He was . - v course. than 200 And those experience presentea La putting bis belongings Into a berth di rectly opposite to my own. In due time all went to bed and the lights Were tuaed low,; '." . r -. lu he middle of the night 1 awak ened with the stopping of tbe train, which, by tbe bye, always wakens me, and, bearing loud talking In tbe rear end of tbe car, looked out to see wbat was the matter. .The you n if man wbo bad occupied .tbe berth oppoxita uie wn. leaving the train In enmpauy wilb a u..iu wlij cu.iicu bis suit vaae. I i.vlvd tiJ.ne uj u "very tloomy u.urtilng, and it was gloomier still when I iinnoiiiKTd to my wife that I was out of n position.

As I bad overdrawn my salary there ns nothing due me. I was too discour aged to go out and look for a new Job, so I returned to my borne to talk mut ters Tver with my wife. She met me at tbe door wltb nn ex pression of supreme wonder mingled with fear. "George." she said, "wbat Ooes this mean T ; "Wbat meanT-" "Uave you yielded to temptation?" "No." - "Then where did you get all thnt money?" " ' "Wbat money? ' ... "In your suit case. And wbat did you do wltb your clothes?" "For heaven's .sake, tell me whut you're talking ubout." She led the way to our bedroom, and there niwn on flip Nd flip ' La ! O O TWO OF A KIND !

If thatTs true vou also can : probably look back upon the time not so very long ago when La Grande was a village. But La Grande is now a full-fledged jroung (fity with the second great- .

And Connordale is the best located and choicest bit: of fully-improved and restricted residence property on the market. And La Grande is going to keep on growing and improving, while thoso who stand idly by and criticize the price , ; of property and belittle the necessity for improvements and lead the calamity chorus will be left at the post as. usual.
