By Mrs E AWalker. Toraiuie'B Choice. TOMMIE JONES was only 5 years old, but he thought a great deal, and sometimes he said things that showed he had a great deal of sense in his little head. One day a family moved Into the house next to where Tommie lived. It was not very near, because the houses were far apart and not like the city houses. "O mother! there is a little boy come to live in the next house." Tom mie told his mother. "I saw him go in there Just now, and he is as big as I am." Tommie meant by that, of course, that the little boy was about his age, and he was so impatient to see him again that he hardly ate any dinner. That night he came in to supper with a smiling face. "His name Is Freddie, and he is 5 years old. Just like me," . he told his mother. The next morning he was up bright and early to play with his new friend, and when he came into his dinner he had many things to tell. "O mother! Freddie, has a cart and a horse that goes all around the floor when you wind it, and he has a base ball and a bat, too." he said. "He has an Indian suit, too, mother. I wish I had one." That night Tommie came home with many more wishes. "Freddie has a music box over at his house," he said. "I wish I had one. "And he has a big boat that will sail in the water, too; he has a knife with two blades, and, mother, he has a watch, and he carries it all the time." "I am afraid my little boy will find Freddie has many things that he does rot have and cannot have, for Fred die's father has mor money to buy things with than your father," said his mother. "You must not let it make you unhappy because Freddie has so many things to play with and you so few. "Perhaps you will find there is something you have that Freddie has not got. if you keep your eyes open, and then you may think you are much more fortunate than Freddie." "I guess it is not so about Freddie's not having everything." said Tommie the next day at-the dinner table. "1 kept both eyes wide open, and I didn't see that be was without anything. He has lots more than ' I have, mother, I am sure." "You keep your eyes open, son." faid his mother, "and if I am not mis taken you have something that you would not part with for all of Fred die's toys or even his watch." Tommie did not look as though he Relieved, what his mother said, but 1 1 L J Yfittffili'itftii''- MRS. ROBERT H. TATE. that night when he came in the house there were tears in his big blue eyes and he ran to the kitchen where his mother was preparing" supper. I know what it is he hasn't got that I have' he cried, clinging to his mother's skirt. "Freddie hasn't any mother. His mother is dead." Tommie's sobs came fast and'loud, but his mother took him on her lap and soon quieted him. "Mother knew her boy would not want to change places with poor little Freddie when he knew there was no mother there," she said. "You see, it was wrong to want anything Freddie has because he hasn't any mother and his father buys him all the things that money can get for him so he will not be unhappy." -1But he'd rather have his mother than anything else in the whole world," said Tommie, looking up at his mother through his tears. "He told me so, and he cries every night when he goes to bed, and no one tells him a story or tucks him in his bed same as you do me." "Poor little Freddie; we must te very kind to him and do all we can to make him happy," said Tommie's mother, "and you will never again want anything Freddie has, will you, or be unhappy because you cannot have as much as he has?" "No, mother, I won't," rep-lied Tom mie, hugging her tight. (Copyright, 101 by the McCIure News paper Pyn1 irate.

J. Simon, of the Simon (salvage Store, 131-133 First street, appeared in Muni cipal Court yesterday to explain why he did not sell V. F. Smith 10 pounds of sugar for 50 cents with every $1 purchase, as his advertisement prom ised. He was convicted and fined $20. That he sought to get a fulfillment of the promise when he purchased $2 worth of goods and was informed that the offer allowed but one such cut rate on sugar to each purchaser, was the testimony of Mr. Smith. Mr. Simon protested that the offer was a typographical error, and pro duced a clipping from another- paper, where the 10-pound sugar deal was re stricted to one package a purchaser. "JEWELER'S" STAY SHORT Dealer 'With Many Aliases and Worthless Trinkets Soon Leaves. After a three-year absence, James Morgan, alias James Berry, alias Eli Saldon. returned to Portland and was arrested yesterday by Detectives Goltz and Howell. He carried his stock in trade as of yore a full line of brass jewelry. "I'm an Astoria jeweler," he assured the officers. Morgan served a 90-day sentence for the sale of phoney trinkets and con sorting with "yeggs" three years ago. He was accompanied by two compan ions on this visit. Chief of Police Clark gave them a chance to leave town at once. They took it. INFANT'S BODY AT MORGUE Body of New-Born Boy Discovered Wrapped in Paper.

The child was wrapped in paper sacking, and the sinister package had been there but a short time from all indications. Detectives Hellyer and Tackaberry made an investigation, but nothing has been learned that will serve to Identify the dead infant, which was taken to the morgue.

Through the efficient work of the car service bureau that has been estab lished at the Wells-Fargo building, room 209, the Southern Pacific Company is rapidly overcoming its car shortage. The bureau has been placed under the charge of G. A. Newell, whose function it will be to take care of the shippers until the shortage is entirely relieved.
