Borne of tbe prominent prune growers of the country bad beeo doubtful about tbe prune crop for some time, but an examination of the orchards now show the trees well laden and the prosicts are much better. It is estimated that there will be three-fourths of a crop, which will make a large yield of prunes. The cold weather after the blooms ap peared threatened to destroy the crop, but fortunately it is discovered that it did not. There Is also a good crop of apples and pears, and taken all arouud, it is not a bad year for fruit in Oregon. The summer normal school com menced here Monday with a very good attendance.

W8T DVlKTI.l WILL IMt. Allen C.Mason,oneof the bjg million aires of Tacoma, is under forty. Ma son's wealth illustrates the value of newspaper advertising. Just ten years ago, says the Pittsburg Dispatch, he was teaching school in Jacksonville, 111. He borrowed $3,0X10 for three years to come to 1'Uf.et Sound, settled in Tacoma and went into the real estate and loan busi ness. During five years his transactions amounted to more than &i,OU0,0UQ. He is now building a house in Tacoma which will cost $125,000; has given the city a public library of 20,000 volumes, and owus all sorts of valuable property. He considers the newspapers one of the secrets of success. He put all his mon ey at ft ret into newspaper advertising. He started In by advertising his real estate iu religious papers, spending at first $100 a month and increasing until be spent $300 a month in this way. Then he tried the big eastern dailies, and one Sunday be spent $10,000, all that he had at tbe time, in putting two page ads. in the big Sunday newspapers of New York, Boston and Philadelphia. The result was that the letters came In by tbe bushel, and half of them con tained money, and Mr. Mason says be is still getting business from the ad vertising of that time.

There are plenty of women as well as "hotDeless" men who seem never to feel any burden of reciprocity for honpitalities received. To these almost tbe same means are open as to their brothers. Society allows a woman to rent a parlor at a hotel for an afternoon reception, if her home is in the su barbs where her friends cannot well come for a brief call, or if its Limitations in the city are handi capping. But in these da vs. when the tea era is recognized as the altai of hospitality, and when this simple shrine may be set up in an apart ment of the tiniest dimensions, there hi no excuse for any woman not to be -at home. Ftadlnc the Brook ya Bridge. As a Third avenue elevated train waa drawing tip in the city hall sta tion a young woman who had just risen asked a man Bitting next to me, "Which, please, is the way to the Brooklyn bridgef "To your left," he replied, indicat ing the direction with his hand. Thank you, said the woman as she moved toward the door. "But you don't go to the left to get there, the man added hastily. "Not But how then?" "To your right" "But wouldn't that take me to" "I mean to say you go to the right out of the station, then to the right again and then to the left and then well, the easiest way is to follow half the people from this train and thev will take you to the bridge. The voting woman was half indig nant, but she ventured to ask one more question, "Which half must 1 follow f "Ob. well, of course vou should follow the Brooklyn half." ith a Iook of scorn the inquirer went on, leaving her informant blushing, and I sympathized with him. for there are no words in the language, even with a diagram, to describe the wav from the cars to the bridge. But the young woman got through all riffht Everybody do The Lot of llooks. A certain housekeejier, who takes a just and nobie view of booKs, almost frightened her parlor maid into spasms by the stern reprimand which she gave her on this subject The poor maid had just let fall one of her unstress favorite volumes.
