MORNING ENTERPRISE, SATURDAY, MAY 24, 1913
For the Merchant
Who Doesn't
Advertise -
In these days of higher 'effi
ciency in the management of af
fairs, where do you stand, Mr.
Merchant?
WE Invite you to become an
advertiser in this newspaper; to
join, if you have not already
done so, the progressive mer
chants of this vicinity who have
something of merit to sell and
something of interest to say
about it.
Many a tale is yet untold
about your store or your busi
ness which if placed before our
readers would rejuvenate your
whole establishment.
The game is out in the open
today.
The livest merchants and
manufacturers tell the public of
ihe merit and superiority of
their wares.
The most successful enter
prises in this city are so con
stantly before the public in the
columns of THE ENTERPRISE
and other .first class newspapers
that when one thinks of any of
the many articles of daily trade
his mind turns instantly to one
of the stores or one of the par
ticular makes whose advertise
ments are set forth in these
pages.
Compensation.
It is proposed to increase the duty
on diamonds and furs, but this should
effect no hardship, even upon the rich.
The added tax will mean additional
value, and the pawnbroker will ad
vance more money. Chicago News.

A CHANGE OF
VOICE
By LUCY K. WYNKOOP
Theodora Manning was her stage
name, and her voice wasa soprano.
She sang the principal part in a light
opera and sang It remarkably well. In
deed, the manager knew that he could
not do without her." But just at the
time the piece was becoming popular j
Miss Manning was taken ill.
Gordon, the manager, was beside
himself with disappointment He put
on Miss Manning's understudy, but she
did not please the public. The first
week that she sang there was a per
ceptible falling off of the receipts. The
second week showed that he must get
some one more capable of taking the
part or he would make a considerable
loss. He was in despair when he re
ceived a note from Miss Manning say
ing that she was much better, but that
her illness had affected her throat and
changed, her voice. It was now more
like a tenor than a soprano. Her phy
sician bad given her permission to go
out the next day and she would call
oh him.
When she appeared.be sat down at
I the piano and asked her to sing. He
was very much puzzled. Her . voice
had become a tenor, but high pitched,
and certain notes could not be told
from those of a woman. He won
dered if he dare put her on again. It
would depend largely whether the
audience should be sufficiently pleased
with the lady's acting to overlook the
defect in her voice. He resolved to try
her.
When she made her entrance upon
the stage the manager's heart was up
in his throat. When she began to sing
he watched breathlessly the effect
upon her hearers. They seemed to
be puzzled. Those who had heard
Miss Manning before were the most
puzzled of all. It was Miss Manning,
but not Miss Manning's voice. And
yet there was something in it they
liked. It seemed to them that the sing
er was trying to . make, up for the
change in ber voice by her superior
action. No one had ever seen her play
her part as she was playing it now.
When the first act ended there was
a hubbub of discussion. All, or nearly
all, had heard of her illness, and it had
been published that it had affected her
throat. Some claimed that her voice
had been spoiled, some that it had been
improved. A few declared that it was
more like a man's tenor than a wom
an's soprano. All agreed that it was
not the same voice as before.
By the time the opera was finished
ha(J consulted throat speclaiists to
learn how a voice could be so changed
by disease and so suddenly recovered,
but had not derived much information,
since the doctors had not treated the
patient. The change back to the origi
nal voice created as much comment as
the change from the voice. "Miss Man
ning has completely recovered," said
one. "You don't mean it? Does she
sing as well as ever?" "Better." "I
must S and bear her-
And so crowds flocked into the the-
in a rew mom us ine interest iu xae
prima donna began to lag.
"Can't you manage to get sick again
and come out of it with a different
voice?" asked Gordon one morning aft
er a thin house.
"Certainly I can," said Miss Man
ning, "but I doubt if the public would
be as easily imposed upon a second
time. The critics might get on to the
humbug."
"Humbug! What humbug?"
"I'll tell you tonight in the green
room." She went away, laughing, while Gor
don looked after her with a puzzled
expression. When he met her again
that evening she had with her a twin
brother.
"This is my tenor voice," she said.
"To help you and myself out when I
could not sing I furnished him as my
substitute. He couldn't do his best
because he was obliged to use a sort
of falsetto most of the time to make
his voice a soprano instead of a high
i tenor."
! "Well, I'll be jinged!" exclaimed Gor-
l...'.'Nu! it wouldn't do to try that

(MOM" BERRIES
MORE PLENTIFUL
Local strawberries continue to
hold preference in the market, but
the supply is nowhere equal to the
demand, and as a result much Cali
fornia fruit is still finding sale. The
southern berries have not the flavor
of the state crop, however. Indica
tions are that it will be the middle of
next week before" local berries meet
the demand, and until that time no
drop Jn prices is expected. Wash
ington berries, of exceptional excel
lence, are also coming into tha mar
ket, and are topping all prices.
Eggs are still quoted at 21 cents in
Portland, with not enough offerings
to suit trade, so it is expected that
the price will advance next week.
Local head lettuce is improving in
quality, and is quoted wholesale at
from 25 to 30 cents a- dozen. "The
heads are small, but are firm and
tasty. - .
Shortage of supply of asparagus
has again forced dealers to seek the
California "grass." Prices rule about
the same, being higher in Portland
than in local markets.
Peaches are beginning to come in
from the south, but are "early fruit,"
so not. of the best, though there is
good sale for them as there is also
for early gooseberries. The. latter
are retailing locally at ten cents a
pound.
Green- peas are scarce on the mar
ket, and are not as good in quality
as earlier in the week. There is a
wide demand for them, and for other
green vegetables.
