A good illustration of the way the northwest is being waked up is afforded by the doings of Durphy & Dickerman, the energetic firm who control the Smith-Premier typewriter on the Pa cific Coast. Tuesday, June 9, W. II. Durphy. senior member, and F. B. Porter, Portland manager, arrived In Portland ; Wednesday they leased the store, 247 Stark street, and let con tracts for fitting up the most com plete and attractive typewriter estab lishment in the city; Thursday they sold 25 Smith-Premier typewriters to the Behnke-Walker Business college the largest typewriter order ever placed in Portland. Mr. Durphy, hale and hearty, crackling with energy, and Manager Porter, courteous and compet ent, master of his business, are calling upon some dozens of the people a day, getting acquainted and advertising their splendid machine and the fact that they are sole selling agents for this coast. This concern is famous and successful on account of its great activity and punctilious integrity m pushing the best typewriter made. The incoming of fresh blood of this kind into local commercial circles is one of the hopeful signs of the hour. As a sample of up-to-date methods in "getting busy" Durphy & Dickerman's 25-ma' nine order within 24 hours after an iving in town (better than one ma chine an hour) takes the palm. . Superfluous.

DISAGREEABL FIECFIQN The mirror never flatters: it tells truth, no matter how. much, it may hurt the pride or how humiliating and disagreeable the reflections. A red, rough skin is beauty, and blackheads, blotches r,nd are ruinous to the complexion, and no wonder such desperate efforts are made to hide these blemishes, and cover over the defects, and some never stop to consider the danger in skin foods, face lotions, soaps, salves and powders, but apply them vigorously and often with out regard to rnnsnnnrea. and tnanv comolexion8 we ruined by the chemicals and poisons contained in these cosmetics. Skin diseases are due to internal causes, to humors and poisons in the blood, and to attempt a cure by exter nal treatment is an endless, hopeless task. Some simple wash or ointment is often beneficial when the skin is aiuch inflamed or itches, but you can't depend upon local remedies for perma nent relief, for the blood is continually throwing off impurities which irritate jad clog the glands and pores of the skin, and as long as the blood re mains unhealthy, just so long will the Tuptions last. To effectually and per manently cure skin troubles the blood must be purified and the system thoroughly cleansed and built up, and S. S.

AT ALrLr DRUGGISTS mmmmiimmmmmmmimmii 5 THP OTHPD MAN'Q HniTQP lv m OME at last! ' Grip and umbrella dropped om the girl's hands. For the last four days she had sat in her Pullman section, picturing this home coming, and now that it was a deed accomplished she could have cried as she hugged the hideous old marble lion that guarded the steps. Safely home! Yes; but explanations would be in order; and from the ab sence of lights it would seem that her father was dining out! Well! A shrug; a laugh; and she ran up the steps. The hall was unchanged; the same carved chairs, the same lounge by the staircase. The last time shehad slid down those banisters Ilardwlck Hol den hud caught her as she bumped up against the post at the bottom, and laughed aloud over her performance. A step sounded on the upper stairs, then a cough. "Master's out," an in visible some one remarked; and Bess darted through the nearest door. The voice was a strange one, and she was not prepared to make explanations to new servants. She laughed again as she tiptoed into the half lit library. What right had futher to break into her plans this way by being out? What would he think of her crossing the continent alone? What would other people think Aunt Annie and Ilardwlck Ilolden, for instance. Hardwlck . had no busi ness to think anything; she had not come to see lilm! r.ess smiiea serenely; nut the se renity changed. What ailed the li brary? Mother's picture had been taken down, and, the tabh? why, the dear old library table was gone! She had sat on that table when she' was a mite and played checkers with father during the black, creepy hour of 6 and 7. In later years she liad sat there and wept over her first geometry problems, which father in despair had tried to solve for her, and couldn't; nnd life had been n howling wilderness to them both un til Hardwlck brought sage counsel and arranged to come in evenings and help her. That table would have to come back; it shouldn't be pushed aside; it 6tood for a big slice of home. And the dear, old, beautiful times were all going to come back, too. Yes, ever jlh ing would be perfect now, Bess decided as she smoothed back her hair.; for Hardwlck had so much tact. Tact? Supposing Hard wlck, with his superabundance of tact, should consider it necessary to keep out of the way! If he once made up his mind to it, he could be come invisible, even if his great, empty, lonely house were only across the Btreet. She knew-that of old; it had happened once when, among oth er things, she had told him to mind his own business; and the time that followed had not been a pleasant one. The room had become uncomforta bly hot, and Bess pulled off her Jacket with a sense of injury. He needn't have been so stupid as to write on to New York three months before and ask her to marry him. The next moment she was scramb ling her belongings together and had slipped into the chubby hole of a room adjoining the library; for the step that had first sent her flying into the li brary was abroad tu the hall. Ten minutes later Bess was roused by the sarcastic comment, "Don't let me aisturo you. rake your own time." This must be a new butler. "Look here " Bess began, sharply; but the man Interrupted. "Oh, I see. All right A precious mess you've made. Did these rags come out of that drawer?" He picked them up. ' "Look as though they might have been a sunbonnet once. Master'U be mortal angry over this." . Bess stamped her foot. "Man!" "Young woman, more'n likely you'll go to the lockup " But Just then a voice outside the door interrupted voice that was well known to her. "What Is it, Roberts?" "Please, sir, this young person " "Yes, I see. You can go, Roberts." "Shall I go for the police?" Roberts asked, hopefully. "No! Get out, will you?" Roberts vanished. Then Hardwlck Ilolden came forward, hesitated, stop ped. Something in the girl's eyes for bade further approach. "If you were so terribly anxious to get rid of these these things" her voice was little more than a whisper as she pointed to the littered desk and floor "why couldn't you have sent the r-the letters to me. when I was In New York instead of sending them back home?" "Bess, how did you get in?" he ask ed, bewildered. "I huve a latchkey, of course." "And the desk? I thought It was locked," Hardwlck said, uncertainly. HfWffffff "It's my desk. Don't you suppose 1 have the key to it?" She laughed; butane, came forward with an exclamation of dismay. : . "Bess, did you tear up that sun- bonnet?" He snatched the pink tat ters from the table. "Yes, and I burned up the collec tion of dried flowers in the old eather pocketbook you used to carry; also the butt of the riding whip I threw away two years ago on Pine Ridge and have never seen since until to-night. I had begun on the letters " she went on with growing scorn; but he inter rupted. "Bess, what right bad you to do that?" "To save father the trouble of car ing for them any longer." "He has nothing to do with it. These things are mine!" Her eyes narrowed as she looked at him.. "Considering the fact that this rubbish was sent here to our house ' " hoffnn, fllnnnntlvr thn, "Where's father?" she burst out. Hardwlck walked over and kicked the andirons. Then he came back again. "Did your father know you were coming?" , "No. I wanted to surprise him." "You haven't had any news from here lately, have you?" "No-o. Why, Hardwlck V She was beginning to be frightened. "Then why have you come?" "I came to be with father. His let ters have been so queer. And when ever I asked to come back, he said no, for me to stoy and enjoy myself as though I could have a good time any place so well as at home with father." Bess dabbed her eyes fierce ly. "So I came on without asking leave; and then I found that you had sent all my letters back, just because " Here Bess suddenly collapsed, and, sitting down, dropped her head on the desk. "I wish you would go away; you've spoiled my whole home coming." "Bess!" His voice was startingly near. He niURt be bending close above her. "Why did you refuse to marry me?" "I I wouldn't have done it if you hadn't asked me." An interval of bewildered silence. Then, "supposing I were to ask you again?" he ventured. "But you sent back my letters and a lot of other things I didn't even know you had," came an injured voice from among the notepaper confusion of the desk. "I sent none of those things back; but I can't explain until we are en gaged." She looked at the floor. Hardwlck waited; then he pulled out his watch and handkerchief. "I'll give you one minute more," he said, delib erately. "If by that time you haven't said you will, I shall consider it done." Bess wheeled around and stared at the watch with fascinated eyes. "Half a minute gone," he said. "I I oh, I Hardwlck, put up that watch!" she ordered desperately. "All right. Now I'm going to dry your eyes oh, that's orthodox; en gaged people always do and you are hot o be frightened at what I am go ing to say. You see, there really Is .no cause for worry; It's going to turn out all right. Why, in three years he'll pull out as good as new! But last spring, what with stocks going down, and the mines, things looked pretty black. He's been up at the mines for the last six months and, Bess, the house had to go." "The house? This house?" "Yes, your father bad to sell it. You see, there was a mortgage on it, and enormous interest " "Oh, Hard " "But I bought It in " "Oh-h!" "Because we couldn't have strangers living in the old home, could we, Bess? And now " "No." Bess shook herself free and pressed her hands to her cheeks. "You mean we're poor I'm poor!" "Poor? Owning me?" ' "Don't laugh. I can't be engaged to you now!" "But you are," he laughed. "But I refused you when I thought I was rich " "Sweetheart," be whispered, draw ing her close, "I thought , you would feel that way; that's why I wanted you to promise before you knew." "But " "What difference does it make? There's only one thing aren't you sorry you pried Into my things and tore up the pink sunbonnet?" Half'an hour later, when Ilardwlck was taking her over to Aunt Annie's for the night, Bess confessed that she was. New York News.
