Evwrxbodx in Washington County- Know the Jewelry House of Laurel M.
Hoyt. I hsve been established for 19 yeers, end during the entire period 1 hve
proved to hundreds of satisf ed customers thet my prices art ell times were as low
es goods of lihe quality could be purchased elsewhere in the state.
In view of the fact that nearly all the large Portland jewelers are holding
sales, I cannot consistently ash my customers to come here and pax $18 for a
watch that can be bought there for $13 or $14. and other things in proportion.
Therefore, as long as the Portland stores continue these sales I will say to
you, I will meet their prices on any article you want, thus proving th state
ments I have continually made to you. that my prices at all times will equal the
best. Thinh what this means to you at this period of the year.

Tb Hwamp farm, aa ft waa railed,
aa altuatctl four milea out of Dajrto
aod waa owned by Uw Widow BUaa.
Tbe tin peddler, tba eewlng macalno
agent, tbe book caoraaaer, Uw patent
right nun and maay otbera wbo ram
that way saw. admired and wart ready
to lort too owner of the Bwamp farm,
gbe admitted to herself that it might
be better if aba bad a good husband,
but she bad a "nay" for all these men
except one. Do waa a Mr. WUttam
Burton. Uo waa a man Juat about bor
age and ranked aa aa old bachelor.
Mr. Burton dkln't begin aa Boat of tbe
otbera bad tie bad tbe aeoae to ad
mire tbe widow without telling haw
that he admired.
Mr. Burtun could talk of eotla, crops,
awampa. tbe weather and a hundred
other things and never let a bint fall
that be Intended some day to talk ot
lore and matrimony. The widow
mentally pitied him for this, and yet
she felt a bit piqued.
Mr. Burton waa a surveyor, and bis
duties called him into the neighbor
hood of tbe Swamp farm a boat ones a
week, lie could probably bare made
It once In two weeks and perhaps oaoe
In four, but It 'a none of our business.
Along about Wednesday m every week
tbe widow would look oat of tbe front
door and see Mr. Burton surveying or
pretending to. lie would took up by
accident and see ber standing there
and would be Invited In to drink n
glass of fresh buttermilk.
This thing had gone on for a long,
long time when be called one day, not
to survey ber garden, but to alt In the
bo use and talk.
"Widow, 1 have been coming bar a
long time," he began.
"And It baa tired yon ootT ah
laughed In reply.
"Not a bit. came today to aak yosj
to be my wife."
"Mr. Burton. replied the widow. "I
made np my mind about tbla marriage)
question quite a long time ago. I shall
marry tbe man wbo can tell me bow
to make money out of my old awamp.
When I nm rare that he baa told me
right he may bring In tbe preacher."
"That old awamp baa been a bleak
spot for fifty years," be said after a
time. "By tbe way, you don't own all
tbe swamp, do you 7"
"No. Tbere'a twenty-eight seres of
It that belong to Mr. Cooper, but hn
can't do anything mors with bis part
than I can with mine."
Mr. Burton walked down to the edge
of the swamp and back again, and
then he aat down and took bis bead
In bis hands a ad thought and thought
By and by be looked up with a bright
smile on bis face and laid:
"Mrs. Bllrn. I have got It. I have
solved tbe problem. ?ou are to torn
that awamp into a frog farml"
"Gracious me, but whoever heard of
aucb a tblngr she exclaimed.
"Lots of folks have beard of It
Tbere are half a dosen men in this
state wbo are raising frogs 'for the
market and making a beap of money
out of It"
"But I never beard of any one selling
frogs," persisted tbe widow. "Wonid
any one In Dayton eat a frog, much
lens buy one?
"Not in Dayton." be laughed, "but In
New York. They are on the bills of
fare at most hotels and restaurants
and are considered a great dllca7,
Tbey eat only tbe hind legs."
It wis a week later that men and
boys called ut tbe Swamp farm with
pails and bankets and paper bags.
When tbe widow had bought 000 big
and little frogs and paid out so much
money that sbe bad to 1st ber taxes
slip by ahe went down to the swsmp
one morning to have a took at ber
"llveetock."
Not a frog waa in eight tbla morning,
not a big one or a. little one. That
swamp wa- absolutely without life.
Tbe widow ran back to tbe bouse
and arrived there Just a minute before
Mr. Burton appeared. . '
- "1-1 was going to send for your
she gasped
"What baa happened r he asked.
"Every frog baa disappeared!"
"You don't Bay!"
"Come along and see for yourself."
lie walked along down to tbe swamp
with her, and ahe beard blra chuckling
as be walked. Instead of looking over
the awamp to see if be could solve the
problem be sat down on a log and be
gan to laugh.
"What do you mean. Mr. Bnrtoaf
waa almost demanded. '
"I waa to tell yon how to
Laurel M. Hoyt
I money out of tola old awamp.'
I "Tea, yoa said yon could, but It
stems yon have only abown me how
to lose money Instead."
. "Too are wrong, wtdow-ynu sre
wrong." said Mr. Burton. "Vim see,
there were twenty-eight acre which
you dktnt wb I boogbt them Viben
you had dm frogs on your sld of the
- swamp I threw a lot of frog f.vd In on
my aide. Last night your nm on me
over the line. Tbey are now mv pmr
'erty."
. The widow looked at blm with mtn-
I gird amasement and Indignation.
' "Oh. dut look that war." he laueh-
' ed "I am now going to tell yon how
you may make the money."
"Ilow-how"- ahe stammered
"Why. marry the man who owns the
MO frogsP he replied.
And after about a month she did.

frog farm, but ahe got a good hnaband

"It bm't that" he says "Since I got

I read over all tbe cures and think
bow much better Is la to have tbe cold
