Merchants and manufacturers
have certain articles they wi3h

they advertise.
7'That is their business," you
say; "they are doing it to bene

, True, they are advertising
primarily for their own profit.
But there is more to present-day
advertising than that. It has
.created a spirit of confidence
and friendliness between - the
seller and the buyer that has be
come so much a part of our
daily lives lhat we hardly real
ize it unless we stop to think.
Have you ever made a pur
chase in the Orient? If so, you
remember how you have enter
ed .a shop and after poking
through confused heaps of arti
cles you hava found something
that struck your fancy. You
'asked the price and were told it
was worth, perhaps, the equival
ent of a dollar. Then ensued
haggling, haranguing, threats,
imprecation, until finally at the
end of half and hour you trium
phantly emerged from the shop,
the article in your hand and 50
cents gone from your pocket.
When you looked again at your
purchase your good common

"RED ROUND-UP"
IS BIG SUCCESS
The last meeting of the Congrega
tion Brotherhood,- which took the
form of a "Red Round-up," given in
the church parlors Tuesday evening,
was one of the most enjoyable gather
ings held this year by the organiza
tion. Ladies of the church were the
guests of the brotherhood at a supper
served before the meeting, and took
a prominent part in the later program.
Decoration were in red and, scarlet,
and were exceptionally attractive. In
keeping with this scheme the dinner
itself was a sort of sanguinary affair,
the chief dishes being grillled salmon,
oold ham, tomato salad and strawber
ries. There were about 115 present
to enjoy the meal, and the service, by
members of the brotherhood wa3
above reproach.
Col. Robert A. Miller, the first pres
ident of the brotherhood, was the
chief speaker of the evening. G. B.
Moores, of Portland, and Field Secre
tary Goodell. of the industrial Y. M.
C. A. work in the Northwest, were al
so among the speakers. Aside from
this a number of interesting" talks
were made by the women guests. To
wards the close of the evening City
Engineer Noble urged that the ladies
of the church interest themselves in
obtaining a public playground, and
Mrs. David Caufield, Mrs. C. H. Dye,
Mrs. L. Adams, Mrs. W. A. White and
Mrs. C. D. Latourette were appointed
a committee of five to take the mat
ter up with the council.
As a token of their appreciation of
the attendance of the ladies, members
of the brotherhood presented tha
guests of the evening with nine dozen
silver knives and forks. The presen
tation of-these also served to solve
the souvenir question.
NEW FIRM OPENS '
STORE UPON HILL
Elliott Brothers, who for years have
been conducting special sales through

particularly forunale in building up
a reputation for fair dealing, have pur
chased the building, ground and stock
of D. C. Ely, on Seventh street, an'i
will close out the present stock at
surprising values.
Following this it is their intention
to locate permanently in Oregon City,
and to maintain a modern and high
grade department store. .They will
restock the establishment with the
best that the market affords, and will
conduct a store where the aim to
please will be the chief and only
motto.
Their intention to locate in Oregon
City speaks particularly well for the
trade standing of the community; and
their intention to continue perma
nent quarters on the hill shows that
they have a lasting confidence in the
future, of the new business section of
the city.

The First View of La Paz Is Startling
to the Tourist.
, James Bryce in . his book "South
America" gives a picturesque descrip
tion of the approach to La Paz, Bolivia.
He tells how the traveler who nears
La Paz has a surprise in front of him
if he is coming from Lake Titicaca,
the usual route from the coast. At a
point 13,0(10 feet above sea level the
railway from Guayaquil meets the rail
way from Antofagasta. 400 miles away
to the south. "From this point, called
Viacha. the route turns eastward to
ward the Cordillera, the line climbing
slowly in- wide sweeps over the dusty
and shrubless plateau on whose thin
grass sheep are browsing. There is
not a house visible, and the smooth
slope seems to ruu right up against
the mountain wall beyond. Where can
La Paz be? asks the traveler.
"Presently, however, he perceives
strings of llamas and donkeys and
wayfarers on foot moving along the
slope toward a point where they all
suddenly vanish and are no more seenl
"Then a spot is reached where the rail
way itself seems U end between a few
sheds. He gets out and walks a few
yards to the east and then suddenly
pulls up, with a start, on the edge of a
yawning abyss.
"Right beneath him, 1,500 feet be
low, a gray, red roofed city fills the
bottom of the gorge and climbs up its
sides on both banks of the torrent that
foams through it. Every street and
square, every yard and garden, is laid
out under the eye as if on a map, and
one almost seems to hear the rattle of
vehicles over stony pavements coming
faintly up through the thin air."
Scotchman's Sad Loss.
"As the waiter laid down my five
pence change," writes C. M. in the
Glasgow News, "I noticed that the top
most coin was not of British currency.
It was. In fact a French penny. I at
tracted his attention, therefore, with a
motion of my forefinger and indicated
the pile of coins with a wave of my
hand, which was meant to say 'What
is this you have given me? The wait
er bent gracefully forward, scooped up
my change with a practiced hand and
with a polite 'I thank you, sir,' moved
swiftly away. Next time 111 give the
language of signs a miss."
A GRAFTED
- TREE
By ELIZABETH WEED
Farmer Perks was very proud of an
apple tree that grew beside the front
door of his house. The apples it bore
were greenings, and there was usual
ly a bountiful crop. Perks' son, Abel,
was engaged to Amanda Squeers, who
was a very thrifty nd a very shrewd
girl. The old man was a widower,
with no other children except Abel, and
when the father died the son would
inherit all his property. But Perks
wouldn't either die or give Abel enough
on which to be married.
One day the farmer brought home a
bougtrof an apple tree and grafted it
on to a limb of his favorite apple tree
that pointed directly toward his house.
Not long after this a man named
Schmitt came to settle an account with
the farmer that had been of long
standing. The man had put in a cul
vert for Perks which had been washed
away, and Perks, who had been obliged
to have the work done over by another
mason, refused to pay the bill present
ed by the first. - The creditor came aft
er supper in the evening and remain
ed arguing with and threatening Perks
with a lawsuit till 10 o'clock. Perks
was not well, and the controversy oc
curred in his bedroom Tn the second
story. Abel was in the house, but at
10 o'clock he went to bed In another
part of the house and was soon sound
asleep. :
When in the morning he went into
his father's room the old man was
dead. There was evidence that he had
been struck on the head wih some
hn rd instrument ' like a poker, Abel
called in the neighbors and told them
the facts. Schmitt was arrested. But
he had evidently prepared himself for
the ordeal awaiting him. for he denied
having been : at Perks' house at all.
Indeed, he said he had spent the even
ing with a man ten miles from Perks'
talking about some work both were to
do together. The. man corroborated
Schmitt's statement. Why he did so
was never known. But 1t was sup
posed that Schmitt made a confidant
of him and either worked on his feel
ings or paid him to save him.
Suspicion then fell on Abel, who In
herited his father's estate. He was
arrested, but since there was not a
scrap of evidence against him, except
that he and his father were the only
two persons known to be In the house
on the. night of the murder, the Jury
hung for a long while, then . finally
brought in a verdict of acquittal. But
his neighbors believed him guilty and
refused thereafter to have anything to
do with him. r
Amanda Squeers alone believed In
her lover's innocence and that Schmitt
had committed the murder. She had
only Abel's word for Schmitt's having
been at the house to collect his bill
and that Abel had left him with his fa
ther when he went to bed. But sho
knew, apart from her lover's state
ment, by a woman's intuition, that
Schmitt had done the .murder. J3he
married Abel and accepted the stigma
thnt rested upon him.
Three years passed. One summer
Amanda noticed that the bough Perks
had grafted to his apple tree would
grow if the sash were left up into a
window of the old man's former bed
room. The weather being warm, she
propped up the sash, and the bough,
covered .with blossoms, extended a
yard or more into the room. One day
in midsummer she passed Schmitt's
house and said to him:
"Mr. Schmitt. it has been revealed
to me who killed my husband's father.
That has always been a mystery, and
I confess I have always believed you
did the deed. Now I know who did it
Come to the house tomorrow afternoon
and I will convince you."
Schmitt kept a steady face, but with
in he trembled. He did not wish to go
to her house, and he dare not stay
away. Above ail. he felt that he must
know if Mrs Perks had any clew. He
did not say to her whether or no he
would accept her invitation, but the
next afternoon, bracing himself with
a strong potation, he started for the
house.
Amanda welcomed him at the door,
and so cordially that he was persuad
ed to believe that she had got on to a
wrong . track and had become con
vinced of his innocence. He saw no
one in the house, and that gave him
courage. At any rate, there were no
witnesses to what would occur. Aman
da chatted with him for a time on
ordinary matters, then said:
"Now. if you will follow me I will
enable you to prove your innocence of
the murder."
She led the way up the staircase
and into the room in which the mur
der had been committed. The window
sash was up. and the end of a branch
of the apple tree extended into the
room. On it were several ripe apples.
"The other night." said Amanda,
"Mr. Perks appeared to me in a dream.
I saw him as vivid and distincfas I
see you now. And he said: 'I have
caused a bough of my greening apple
tree to grow into my bedroom win
dow. If the man who murdered me
eats of one of the apples it will show
within stains of my blood.'" Pluck an
apple. Mr. Schmitt. and prove your in
nocence." Schmitt turned pale, but plucked an
apple, though his hand trembled as he
did so. - Biting into it. he looked at
the gap be had left and fell in a swoon
on the floor. There were blood red
streaks in it
The graft Farmer Perks had made
was from a tree which produced fruit
containing streaks similar to those of
a blood orange.
