The SrndfrnSixmt By .Mrs EAWalker. BeV Pirate. BEV RICHMOND was spending the Spring in Florida In a little cot tage on the beach, as his mother's health demanded a warm climate. After the cold, dreary Winters of the North, he found it great fun to pass the days in a bathing suit, fishing among the rocks. Then Uncle John came to stay a few weeks, and that made things even more delightful. For every night before retiring he would tell Bev won derful stories about the strange lands he had visited and the beautiful things he had collected rare coins of gold and silver and jewelry from many na tions. But as the box holding them was at the bottom of his trunk he did not get it out to show his nephew. One night there was a big storm, and early the next morning Bev was down at the beach looking over the wreck age washed ashore. And as he watched the planks and barrels tossed in on the waves a tiny boat swept by, its sail V "ft - V Wf Golden West Hit Coffee v r Just the best cof f ee the best packing and I f roasting; methods and the reputation of three J I l decades to back the slogan "The Most for I j I i .

Somehow it reminded the boy of the pictures he had seen in books of sea fights. And then an idea flashed, across his mind pirates. It was Just the kind of boat that the story books said pirates used, and now he felt sure that there must be some in the neighborhood. Of course it would be his duty to capture the pirates. And what a hero he would be! Pirates were Just the thing he had been longing all his life to capture, and now was his chance. They would be big, brown men with red trousers, dirty shirts, long, black hair, and daggers in between their teeth, and they would slip ashore in the moonlight and bury their treasures of gold in a cave. So he must kep his secret and plan to take them pris oners quietly. He would get his un cle's pistol and watch that night, hid den in the shadow of a rock, and maybe some way might open that would en able him to catch the whole crew. At any rate, he would find out where they buried their treasure. About 11 that evening Bev slipped down to the beach holding the pistol close In his coat. Far out over the wa ter gleamed the moonlight and not a sail in sight, so Bev snuggled down In a corner of broken rocks and began to nod. But presently he heard a sound of approaching footsteps. Peering out he saw a man Stealing down the beach with a box in his hands. "Gee. whiz!" whispered Bev, aloud, in delight, "but that must be a sure enough pirate." But he kept very still and watched. The man went to the side of the broken boat, dug a small hole in the sand, put the box in it, cov ered it up again, then started back up the beach. When the man was out of sight around a berwl in the shore, Bev ran to the place where the box was burled, and in a few moments had dug it up. When he opened it the moonlight flashed on jingling gold and precious stones. With the box in one band and the pistol in the other, the boy hastened up the beach and came in sight of the man just climbing into his uncle's window. With a bound Bev ran into the house and burst Into his uncle's room and there he saw the man he had followed lying on the bed asleep. At the side of the bed was the trunk, opened. Uncle John sat up in surprise at the frighteend boy with the box of coin3 in his hand. "Why. Uncle John," exclaimed Bev, "I saw a man bury a box on the beach, and here it is. And he climbed right into your room here." Then Uncle John burst out laughing and told Bev that he was the pirate. For he often walked in his sleep, and. while dreaming about robbers, had gotten . the box out of his own trunk and buried it. "But if it had not been for you, Bev," he continued, "I would never have found the buried treasure. So I am much obliged to you for your pirate hunt."

" WE ARE entering today, upon the month that to many is the most beautiful in the calendar of the year. It Is the month of brides, of roses, of all sorts of tender and sweet associa tions. It is the month when vegetation fairly billows over the earth, when trees roll their foliage In waves down the mountain side, when clover is knee deep, when wheat and oats and corn fill the landscape with a mantle of rip pling green. It is the month when life seems to reach high tide, and rolls over field and plain in one vast wave of beauty and abundance. I wonder do we get all the joy out of this month that we might? When nature all about us Is so lovely, so prodigal, when it is expressing teeming. Joyous, productive life in a myriad way on all sides, isn't there in it a message for us? And if we read this message, find delight in it, will not life hold more for us, give us greater con tentment than we usually find in the humdrum cares of our daily round? Many of us do bury our heads ostrich wise in the dry desert sands of our daily work and. see few of the banners of Joy that June is fluttering all about us. W e keep house or sell goods or type letters or add our ledgers and think only of how hot it is and whether we can afford to take a vacation or how the new dress or hat we want can be squeezed out of our salary. Or we are a bit resentful that we can't go to the seashore or mountains as some friend Is doing or have all the pretty clothes we want. And we neither see nor hear June, exejept perhaps to sigh that it means hot weather from which .we see no escape. But some will say, we have to earn our living, we have to cook, we can't get away for a vacation, we can't have the pretty frocks we want and which there is no harm in having, and what is the use of pretending these things are not? There is no use In pretending they are. Nearly every one of us faces some one or other of them. But does it make the outlook any brighter to turn our back on "leafy June, its brightness and abundance and joy, and see nothing but these arid, man-made conditions of life? Can we not bring the freshness and beauty and joy of June to brighten and lighten these duties that prick and ir ritate? A week-end outdoors under the bil lowy trees by some happy little stream, a walk at night in the rose-scented air under the stars that have gazed down with their wise, eternal eyes for un counted ages, will bring a contentment and satisfaction with the work of the morrow that seems incredible, until it is proven. June speaks to our spirit and our spirit grasps her message and is cheered. And there is yet a deeper message than this if we will listen, a message of Suits Now $25.85 Suits Now $27.85 Suits Now $32.85 Suits Now $38.85 Suits Now $44.85 Third Floor $ 1.9.85 Morrison at Fourth FINANCIAL DEPRESSION CAUSES BUSINESS SACRIFICE I need $40,000 and need it quick. Stockholders whose stock is now due to retire want, their money. Under ordinary conditions, it would be easy to finance this through the regular channels, but under present condi tions I have been unable to do this. There is only one thing left to do and that is to sacrifice the stock un til enough pianos have been sold to bring in the money. For several years I have worked hard to build up goodwill and busi ness friendship. This cannot be bought for money and this business standing I am going to keep. The fact that I will sell during the next few days many splendid pianos at much less than their actual value will not weaken my business standing. But those who secure a piano at this time, while I am raising this money will enjoy a most unusual saving. This is not an ordinary bargain sale. This is a life-and-death strug gle and actual cash is the first con sideration. While it seems a pity to lose the legitimate profit which is due any worthy business transaction, the fact that it will increase the good will and friendship which my business en joys makes the deal profitable in fu ture standing if not in immediate re muneration. Even though I will not make a cent on these sales, and actually lose money on many transactions during the time it takes me to raise $40,000, it will enable me to maintain my busi ness through this present crisis. Whether you intend to buy or not, do not miss this opportunity. Use it to inspect my splendid stock.

Alder abundance for all in the intelligence that pours Its treasures out so prodigal ly in June, joy for all in the spirit of life that is speaking in the happy voice of bird and brook and tree. The mes sage perhaps is more difficult to catch. One has to be very still to hear it- All the murmurs of resentment and and discouragement and disappointment must be stilled. One must be one with the heart of life all about. In the words of Tagore. one must feel "The stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic mea sures. It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth, in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.. I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life. The life-throb of ages is dancing in my blood this minute." But when one takes hold in this fashion of the message of June, the abundance and the joy that June ex presses are his. La Center Carrier Test June IS. RIDGEFIELD, Wash., May 31. (Spe cial.)
