It was seemingly a hopel-as case, and might have been, only for a demur "Charley, I have said 'yes' twice, and if you mono It, I mean It, too, and w" j .. And to this tlar th young man will insist that h popped the question. AU thU happened away "down east," and It wasn't long Vfore th re was a wedding. NY.t much l,nrer before there was a letter from Polly's Uncle Joh (The Hon. Joshua Turner), rich, generous and level-headed, and an old pion eer of Astoria, who wrote effusively of his delight at her exhibition of what he called "grit," and he proposed that if the young people would locate at Ast'jrla he would start them up in life, as a wedding gift. Of course they accepted, and were soon bidding their friends adieu. A few weeks subsequent to the above conversation a travel-stained party arrived In Astoria. Our friend. Uncle Josh, was in charge and he led the party straightway to the Occident hotel. "We'll go to th Occident." nUd he. "because that's the popular place and strictly first-class. I am well acquaint ed with the present manager, 'Dan O'Xiell and he Is mine host after mine own heart, endowed with that delightful intuition that makes a guest feel at home, comfortable, contented, and In mighty good luck. The house Is one of con venience; the apartments are well-furnished and the cuisine well, the Occi dent Is noted for its excellent table, so I have engaged rooms here until your own house Is in readiness." With these remarks I'ncle Josh graolously pre sented to Charles the deed of a cosy cottage. "After breakfast," said the old man, I am ready to buy your outfit, hut first I must take you for a drive. To expedite matters I will call up W. J. Cook, manager for H. F. Prael & Co., and hav him send us a rig." When the handsome carriage, w-iih elaborate trappings and prancing horses drew up In front of the hotel Polly declared it the "finest turn-out she had ever seen." "Yea, siree," replied Uncle Josh, "the three S's. 'speed, safety and style" la H. P. Prael Co'a coat of arms. So, your.g folks, when you want to take a drive, either for business or pleasure telephone to them for a rig every time. Their wedding party and funeral equipments are unsurpassed and rate reasonable." It w-as in this stylish turnout that the rounds of the city were made. "Having already provided a cage for the bird," slid Uncle Josh, "now the first thing we'll look after will be the furnishings for it." Hereupon Polly energetically declared that she had heard so much abut Chas. Hellborn & Son, that she had decldej to go there. The result was that they were ushered Into such a bewildering display that the girl was at Prst at a loss how to select. But she soon yielded to the seductiveness of a magnificent parlor suite, a bed room set in oak. golden finish, that would do credit to old Klondike himself. To this she added an easy rocker for Uncle Josh, and didn't for get a most convenient and ornamental writing desk for ''Hubby" Charles, hav ing come to the conclusion that Hellborn's prices were below the very whis per of competition. "Then. Uncle, there's the question of carpets, too, you know," quoth Polly. "You haven't said a word aboyt carpets yet." 'Jes so. Jes so." replied Uncle Josh, "it does heat all how you wimmln folks can think of things, but I tell you It -on't take me long to think of the store for carpets. Fact is, we're in it right now. Anything from linoleum for the kitchen to the most elegant Brus sels for the parlor, you can get right here, and Ghas. Hellborn don't charge fancy prices in that department, either." Polly got something suitable for the parlor, living and bedrooms, and then turned her attention to pictures, frames etc., for which this store is noted for giving extra choice values. "A pretty good start," said the old man. "and now we'll go to the Eclipse Hardware Co.'s big stove store where Polly's housewifely Instincts will have full play in marvels of kitchen apparatus. There is not an establishment In the country that carries a more comprehensive stock of household furnishings." remarked Uncle Josh. "Every possible piece of kitchen furniture from a tin dipper to a cooking ran3 is hers In all style and varieties." If Polly falls to accomplish wonders in the .mlinary art. It will not be for want of superior cooking utensils, for she purchased a Superior range with all equipments needed in a well regulated kitchen, besides two Sylph heaters for the other rooms, all of which Uncle Josh paid for with delight because he knew that Mr. Laws, the manager, bad treated him right. Just as he treats everybody. "Now. how about the plumber. Uncle?" Inquired Polly. ''Sou remember you said that you would see somebody for that. ' "Jes so. jes so: and we shan't have or.y botcher do the work, either. I'll have a talk with W. C. Laws about that, 'cause he' tends to the Eclipse Hardwaie Co. plumbing department. We've got m have gas and water pipes put in, a hot water heater and a porcelain bath tub, besides gome sanitary fixin's. And this Is the very firm to do the work. They otstrve closely all the hygienic laws snardlng against dangers from sewer "sses and yoa ran always feel safe about the house when practical men. aa I know these people to be. have dine the work." The Eclipse Hardware Co. took the contract, did just what Urvle. Josh taid they would do. and won Polly's praise for their excellent workmanship. "Ifii'a see I promised you n gold natch and a diamond n'.v didn't I" Queried Uncie Josh, of P Uy. "and J. H. Seymour is the man to sell reliable goods." Entering the popular jewelry store the old man gallantly acquitted himself of the promise ahd then directed Polly's attention to th superirr stock of silverware and Xm.i goods carried by the house "There is no such a l.oiii-e In town," sai l V'l old man. aud I will guarantee the -I'l.tlity to be the very best. Pick out your family clock while here," he adl-.'. "Sey mour carries a magnificent lint. Don't forget another fact." he continued, "if you ever unfortunately r,r. opti ml poods, this is the place to c :me. They have everything required t imnrove nffecte ey?s. and say. my hoy, re member that Seymour is an expert doctor on sick watches and makes a sreclalty of fine repairing." "But, look here. Uncle." l-;terrupud the young man as they approached the street. "What about coal? We've gut the stoves, but I reckon they won't be of much service withou' fuel. We can't keep fire on love alcn can we?" 'Glad you mentioned It," replied Uncle Josh. "Bnying so much in one day kinder befuddles a fellow. Fortunately, however, it's only across the street to Geo. W. Sanborn's oMe. He is my favorite dealer ar.d handles the famus Roslyn coal which has no supmor and equals: it makes a n it fire, hums up clear, and don't leave iny clinkers. Fair measure, fair treatment and fair prices are what you'll receive at the hands of Geo. W. Sanborn.", A big or der was placed. "Well, scat my! Charley," laughed Uncle Josh, "where in the name of creation did you get that rope? That's about the worst weed that ever came In contact with my oiefactory nerve: and I guess the next station we had better stop at will be Will Madison's cigar store, where you can get a gen tleman's smoke. Will takes great pride to keep all his cigars, both Imported and domestic, up to the highest standard, and consequently his store is always a favorite." Charley was so well pleased with the cigar Uncle Josh treated him to that he bought a whole box and advised his wife to remember the srand when she got his next birthday present, not forgetting to also make a note of Will Malison's big stork of other fine cigars, tobaccos, pipes, etc. Uncle Josh said that he himself would be satisfied with any brand, so long as It came from Madison's. "I've been buying smokes here," said he. "for nigh on to five years, and I reckon I'll keep on doing so as long as I'm In Astoria." Meantime Polly was noticed to be looking very wistfully acrois the str?t toward Petersen & I'.rown'- sh' store. "'Oh. goodness me,'' sh ei.'ieulated. "I see they sell the Sorogis shoe and I ve heard so much about that shoe that I must have a pair.' "Yes." paid t'rele Josh, "and Petersen & Brown's stock of footwear can't dj equalled in this section. Go in. look It ov.-r ind get acquainted, pick out v.-liat y u w.mt and I'll fooc the bill." It might have been policy not to have extended that Invitation, had not Uncle Josh known what wise economy it is to trad-; at Ptur.-n & Brown's, for Polly found goods and prices po sediu-tlve that she purchased an outfit from a pretty slipper to a handsome walking boot. Charley invested in gents' fin? shoes, while Uncle Josh indulged in a stout boot, with rubbers for the crowd. No one net-ding footwear can resist the styles and pries offered by Petersen & Brown. "Yum, yum," laughingly escaped Polly' ro."bud lips, as she glanc;d Into Hoeders attractive confectionery store. "Uncle Josh, you know I've rfot a sweet tooth, and those hom- made candies look so nlee'l Just can't resist the temptation to go in." Charley here objected, 'cause he knew if Polly got Into Hocller's once, there's where she'd likelv v.iit to piay. He relented, however, when Uncle Josh said oysters, rny boy, cystors, any style." so in they went, and after regaling themselves In deMelous hi valves the jdrl loaded up on chocolates and bon bons enough tomake every tooth in the county ache. Polly was a splendid Judge of sweet meats, and she indulged In a profuse, compliment to what she found at Hoefler's. Woman like. Polly was discussing the mntir of how phe would arrange her new house and wag Interrupted by Uncle Jonh. "And theft- house fixin's remind me," said he, "that you havn't got your dishes yet. The most famous stock in extent, quality and completeness is at The Great American Import ing Tea Co.'s. Why, child, there isn't positively a thing in the line of China, crockery, g'ass. lamps or bric-a-brac needd for uss r ornament In any part of the house that can not be found at The C, A. I. T. Co.'s, in Indefinite variety nnd at wonderfully low prices. Mr. C. F. Rohweder. the new mana ger, took Polly personally in charge and h r large order suggested her thor ough appreciation. While engaged In relet ting a b-auciful china teapot. Un cle Josh explained that the G. A. I. T. f'o. is n..tei for its surpassing teas and coffees, quality beine their first consideration. "Oh. stiy. Uncle," exclaimed Polly, ".vhere can I po for dry goods? This dress is hardly sultabl?. I must admit." "Veil, my girl, if you want to select from one of the most popular establishments !n i.iv citv, I 'will direct you to The A. Dunbar Co., who carry a stock 0f dreg? (roods that for va-lety and real vahie Is seldom seen outside the largest metrepojiinn cities. They have all the latest weave In fashionable dress goods ap wvll m costumes and jackets, and you are sure to be guldd right in your selections. You will lind A. Dun bar, the manager, pleasant to deal with md his employes polite and expert, while the prices cannot be duplicated. It did not take Polly long to tell a bargain when she saw one. he got a handsome dress, and a stylish Jacket, and several other articles of "fantastic .ll-anay" so dear to the heart of every woman, including a corset, specially fittod. At this point, somewhat to the confusUn of Charley, the old man Indulged In a half serious criticism of his personal appearance. "You are decidedly off style for a townsman." said he. "and we'd better go see P. A. Htokes about some new duds. He is an up-to-date man. who understands the chang ing styles and is noted for good fits." After Charles had fitted himself in a neat suit, from the piles of fashionable garments that cov?r the tallies of tfils extensively stocked establishment, Uncle Josh declared: '"Now you look like a newly married man.'. Before leaving, having found goods and prices Irresist ible Charles also invested in a complete outfit of gents' furnishings, from the late style hat to a dozen shirts, and he readily agreed that P. A. Stokes is the right place for good values. F,mere!ng from Stakes', Unci Jcsa happened to think of some business t the postoffice, and. the trio started for that point, when "Halt," called the old gentleman, aa they came In front of the Basle Drug Store. "Walk r'lBht In," he commanded. "Why, Uncle, we're not sit k, and " litughiM Polly. "Gurus I know that." replied Uncle Josh, "Hut I 'apeot It won't be unreasonably long before this young man Wglns to take an interest In matters of pare " "U-n-c-l-e!" reprovingly Interrupted his nephew. "We'll go anyway. Polly may llnd sum toilet article she wants."8ure enough, before leaving she was loaded down with comb, brushes, face powders, and ounces upon ounces of tine Imported pcrfunws. "Don't forget," added I'ncle Josh, "to come to the Kaglt with your prescript kme, aa T. F. Uiurtn, the proprietor, and Kd. Mc Afee, his prescription dork, are both competent pharmacists, imy purt!cu'ar attention to that department, and none but pure, fresh and reliable drug are ever uned. Hesulea this la the only 8tore In town which employa a boy to deliver your packs ges." "But my, I'ncle, is there a good decorator In tvn?" "We've almost for gotten It," said Polly. "Jes so, Jea so, and you lust mention It In time, for right over there a Mock the firm of B. F. Allen A 'on la That firm has re duced home adornment to a beautiful science and the good part of It is. they don't want nil the money a fellow's got either. And tlk about wall paper, they have an unequalled stock. a thousand and one different kinds." Polly was soon revelling In a perfect elyslum of beautiful lute wall pn'r. She picked out several pretty patterns and then I'ucle Josh arranged with Allen & Son to do the entire Job of Interior and exterior decorating, which rendered It sure that lVlly's home would soon be a "place of beauty and a Joy forever," After this visit. Uncle Josh suggested a resort to some place of refresh ment. At the table the old man waxed philosophical. ''.Never neglect your larder." said he. "That Important adjunct to housekeeping controls mascu line temper. To that end you must patronise a grx-er on whom you can de pend for honest goods. Through a long term of years 1 huve found A. V. Allen, wholesale and retail, ietfeetly reliable. You will find him a careful dealt r, always fully stocked w ith every possible thing In the Hue of staple and fancy groceries, fresh and tlrst-chiss, t.o ahetf-wvrn goods there, while the prices are down to brass tacks. To keep peace In the family get all your groceries of A. V, Allen." While Uncle Josh was pordormg wher.' to gc ntxt, Polly slid lenly asked: "Untie, where can I find the leading mllllnerv establishment?" "Just a few doors up Eleventh street." remarked I'ncle Josh, "und we will visit Mrs. Rosa, who, by the way, has on hand one cf the completes! stocks of milli nery to be found In the city. You ran get what you want there, the latent styles and lowest prices being her motto. Mrs. Ross' good experience guar antees that when you have purchased of her you have the thing according to fashion and a satisfaction that your work has been done by a competent ar tist." In a few minutes there never was a happier girl than Polly for she got a perfect dream of a hat and the Mil didn't scare I'ncle Josh either. "And now, young man, let me give you a pointer," remarked the generous old uncle. "Do not understand me to pay that clothes make the man. but I do affirm that clean and spotlewi huen makes the nlie appearing man. Now In this connection I am happy to Inform you that the City Stem Laundry la one of the best laundries In the state. Polly will want her luce curtains and shirt .waists done up. It's a ticklish job. you know, but the City Laundry Is so very careful that the most delicate fabrics are washed without the slight est Injury and at a nominal cost. too. it. Sehlmpferman. the proprietor, win see that your collars, cuffs and shirts are made white as snow unless they happen to be colored, but then you needn't be afraiJ of a fade, for he prides hlmswlf on doing colored goods satisfactorily. "Law sakes!" suddenly exclaimed Unci" Josh, "all this trading and ahop ping round town has caused me to forget one of the greatest essentials to fu ture existence. I have heard It said tint newly married folks could live on lave and scenery, but an old man of experience knows better your table would look slim without meat. It goes h-tnd in hand with bread. Now to lo cate a meat market w here you can get fresh, wholesome meats at all times, and I don't hesitate to say that Chrlstensen & Company Is the firm to supply you. Come down with me and I'll Introduce vu to W. 11. Walker, the manager. This Is the boss market In the cltv and Is popular w ith everyb.H)y w ho Is particular to have the best.

"we must not forget 'sea food,' and there Is no article of food consumption that needs to be so absolutely perfect hs this. And In this con nection I am happy to say that good honest, fresh clams, oysters, 'poultry, eggs or game may be had of W. E. Smltt at the Astoria Fish Market, telephone 1211. So when you are looking for s:me delicacy for company, lust cell up W. E. Smith and If you are not, perfectly satisfied with wh.it he furnishes you then your Uncle Josh is no prophet." "Well, W, K. Smith can rcunt on me for a customer," declared Polly. "Now,"' cried the old gentleman, "now for a picture of this crowd. In good old country fashion, we'll go to the photograph gallerv, and the McCrea-Ford Co. (successors to Snodgrass). have a good one. Their pictures are wondiT ful In fidelity and finish. I want one full-slxe photo for mv study and some small ores for my friends. Mr. Able, the ntnrator. has the soul of a true artist: all his work Is a labor of love. In which he wl'l not Stop short of per fection. As he Is famous for successful enlarging. I want to give you a life slxe representation of 'yours truly.' " (I'ncle Josh's picture may be seen at the McCrea-Ford Co.'s studio any time the reader desires to call.) En route to their home the party called at The Astorlah office. "You'll want the news every day." remarked Uncie Josh, "and aa this the favorite local paper here I'l subscribe." When the trio reached home "that tired feeling" seemed to come over them all. all at once, and Uncle Josh admitted that he. for one. was just about "tuckered out." Charley took advantage of this condition to remark "Now. uncle, you have been very kind and I kinder hate to speak of any thing else, but, say, can you recommend some good beer for medicine pur poses, of course?" "Why. certainly, mv boy." laughed the old man. "that Is easy. The doctors all recommend John Kopp's brewery that la an ab solutely pure, nutritive brew mad right here at home, and I always did be lieve In patronizing home Industry, especially when the article desired Is bet tr than outside makes, and nobody disputes that John Kopp's beer Is strictly first class. I'll telephone for a case right away." and he did. Upon summing up the wonderful events of the day Polly began volu bly express thanks. "You have bought us everything." she exclaimed. "Only one thing." replied I'ncle Josh, reflectively, "but I can remedy that. Chas. Hellborn 4 S.m. the furniture firm, slways has a nice line of them and you can get one wheneveryou want It: I'll pay for the best." "W-h-y." exclaimed Polly, with great surprise. "Uncle, what can It be?" "Well. It's a baby catriaise. and" but Polly had fainted. ' few MS mm LASS of Baldwin's Celery Soda enrw a DMiWehs at occ.
