young people of the Baptist church
and became a member or that church,
He was an active member of the I,
O. O. F., Elks, Eagles and the Wood

moved with his parents from there
to England. They came to Oregon
City fifteen years ago. He and Miss
Augusta Sehroeder were married

POTATO MARKET IS
LOWER IN SOUTH
Potato market prices are again low
er in the south. A lew small pur
chases were reported in the country
by local interests during the past 24
hours on the basis of $1.25 , $1.35
per cental for extra choice, which
would not mean above $1.40 for. best
offerings. Under this condition it
might be possible to squeeze $1.50 for
some extra select seed, but dealers
as a rule were not inclined to look
with favor upon such a high figure.
New potatoes are selling in Cali
fornia' as low as 2c a pound, therefore
the outlook for old stock is more dis
couraging there than for some time.
While San Francisco continues to
quote nominally from $1.75 to $2.75
for Burbanks, it is known positively
that this price is not being received
as actual returns show. ' A similar
condition exists at Los Angeles, where
it is stated that Zuckerman, known
as the representative of George Shi
ma, the so-called Japanese potato
king has been selling Burbanks down
to $2 per cental.
New potatoes are quoted nominal
ly at $3T50 $4.00 per cental.

Epigrams In Japan,
The Japanese are great admirers of
epigrams and apt phrases. Their love
of such things is carried so far that
when a guest says something unusually
brilliant the host or hostess will beg
him to write down his remark in large
ornamental script Tbe sentence is
then mounted und bung on the wall as
a permanent addition to its ornaments,
much as In England we should bang up
a text or motto. Naturally tbe author
of a bonmot treated In this way feels
himself highly honored to be thus
placed on record. But the sentences
are selected more tor their wisdom
than their humor, so that the fanny
man is not much in evidence.

UPLIFTING
A MAN
By M. QUAD
A
Copyright, 1912. by Associated Lit
erary Press.
Deacon Goodhue was a good man.
You could be sure of that by bis name
alone.
He loved his neighbor as nimself
and wronged no man. He gave to the
heathen and was grieved when be read
of the wickedness at home. '
For a good many years the deacon
went on just being good in a general
-way. although there were times when
he wished he had a specialty. One
came bis way at last and he was sur
prised that he had never thougbt of it
before.
But a few tramps came to the vil
lage where the deacon lived. -Constable
Baker had the reputation of being
a hard kicker, and the knights of the
road took in other towns instead.
Therefore the good man bad never bad
a chance to study the tramp at close
range. "
Constable Baker was taken ill of
fever, and while he tossed to and fro
on his bed a tramp took advantage
of the occasion to make his appear
ance and do business. ' He came across
Deacon Goodhue almost the first thing,
and be told the old, old story of tbe
great Chicago fire loss of his all sui
cide of his wife loss of his "children
and the other particulars. Tears came
to the eyes of his listener. .
Here was what the deacon bad long
ed for a specialty.
- Mrs. Deacon Goodhue was a good
woman, as every deacon's wife ought
to be, but she was not too good. When
the deacon brought his tramp home
there were some words about it
"Why didn't you bring a pig and
done with it?" was asked, after the
ragged and dusty wayfarer had been
looked over.
"Hannah," replied the deacon, "this
man has a soul."
"If he has it ought to be scrubbed
with soft soap and hot water!" .
"Hannah, be stays!" said the deacon
as be set his jaw and that ended it
He was a good man, but now and then
it became necessary to let it be known
who was running that house. The
tramp had a hair cut and a shave and
was filled up. When his rags had been
exchanged for a whole suit the change
in him was great He looked himself
over and wept As he wept he said
that his gratitude overpowered him.
"Overpower nothing!" snorted the
deacon's wife, and he'eame back with:
"Hannah, it's as he sars. No one
can deceive me. You can see grati
tude sticking right out of him.'"
"You just wait awhile," the deacon's
wife replied when he boasted of the
success of the upbuilding.
"Hannah, he'll grow better every
day. What do you think he asked me
yesterday?" .
"For a dollar, probably."
"No. he didn't. He asked me if he
might ring tbe church bell on Sunday
mornings to call out the congregation."
"And you told him be might V" "
"Of course. Don't that show that
the man is having serious thoughts?"
"No. It shows that he's getting
ready to steal the rope and the bell."
Samuel Smith, a villager, had left
his hoe hanging on the limb of a cher
ry tree in the garden, it disappeared.
Mr. Jones had some tools in bis barn.
The tools went Mrs. Adams left tbe
Monday wash on the clothes line that
night, and not a garment was to be
found next mornihg. Theft after theft
occurred, and the whole village became
excited.
After that a' ' house was : entered
and robbed then another and another.
Constable Baker, had been getting
along, but these things brought on a
relapse. Six houses were entered and
robbed, and as many as a score of
thefts took place before Deacon Good
hue became aware of the fact that his
"patient" was suspected. Then, ne
met his fellow men to exclaim:
"Can it be possible! No, you can't
be so cruel and unjust! You might as
well suspect me!"
They eouldn't go against tbe deacon,
and so they hunted the county over,
though without striking a trail. The
deacon felt it his duty to mention
things to Moses, and Moses wept after
hearing them. Tbe robberies also
ceased for a week.
"See how unjust the world Is!" sigh
ed the deacon. "Because misfortune
has dragged you down I alone am a
believer in your integrity."
"I knew the world would not give
me a chance.1" wailed Moses.
"But it must. It shall. Yon shall
be uplifted."
The night after that there were two
robberies, and it was found in the
morning that Moses had departed. He
had left behind him a note that read:
"You have been good to me and i
have tried to show my gratitude and
appreciation. Look under the bay in
the barn."
The deacon went out to look. There
were four or five of his neighbors there
before him. Under the bay had been
found everything the community bad
been robbed of. The tramp had done
it to reward the man that was uplift
ing him !-
Of course the good man was asked
to explain matters, and of course he
tried his best. That was ten years
ago and he's explaining yet Some
times the villagers seem to take his
view of things, and , sometimes they
shake their beads and say;
'Mebba so. deacon, mebbe so: but,
you see, when you art trylnj to uplift
a man it's your duty to tie him to tbe
bedpost o' nights so'i you ran tell
where be la."
