Bee If you can't think of some thing you're still short of." "I can't say that I can." "Something that stays In the house." "Well, I got my ma to make out a Hat ot the things she thought I'd need, and I turned It over to Burckey and had him fill It out" "Maybe the thing I have In mind Is not to be bad at Burckey's." "I must say If It can't be bought at Burckey's It must be something un usual. But don't tell me what It 1b. I'm a terrible fellow for guessing rid dles and solving puzzles and such like. I never heard tell of a riddle that I couldn't guess." "Well, a lot of men have got gray trying to solve this one. But dive in; nmybe you can. I don't want to dis courage you."

Whenever" lhe'd ha 1t ono around It's an ugly old thing. I al most said secondhand, but caught my self Just In time." "I reckon you have one?" "Oh, yes, four. I got 0114 before I started housekeeping." "Now, that's Interesting! Which room do you keep It in?" "For twenty years I tried to keep It In the kitchen, but as I didn't seem to make any headway I gave up trying. I'm just as liable to find mine la the parlor as anywhere else." "Is It a bootjack? I don't think Uurckey keeps bootjacks." "Well, If a bootjack Is supposed to rauke life easier for man, then It's like ont In that respect, but It's not bootjack nor a cook stove, though It to supposed to stand around a stove good deal and is like one In that It gets pretty warm at times." "I, reckon It couldn't be a coffeepot, for Burckey keeps them, I believe you said It made life easier for a man?" "No, I didn't I said It wos sup. posed to. But jNe thing I said that was most to the point was that I got ono before I started housekeeping and that now I've got four. Do you know, I've been expecting for some time that you were going to ask me If I wouldn't give you one so that you could begin housekeeping right." "That's another good point It's something that you'd give away, so 1 rockon It can't be worth so very much. I'll gtiess It yetl Now, you see if I on't!" "Just to encourage you a little, I don't mind saying that, while I wouldn't sell It for any money, I'll give It to you just as soon as ever you ask me for It" "Is it a stove lifter?" Mr. Poole punned a good sized hand ful of whlxkers Into bis mouth and be gan to chew them angrily. "Now, let me put all these points to gether," said Mr. King.

Ifs something you won't sell, yet you'll give it to me just as quick as ever 1 ask you for It, and you've been think ing I was going to ask you for It. Now, If that's not a corker I'm no judge of riddles!" 'And you don't know what It la?" growled Mr. Poole. 'Give me another minute or two. I've got Hi It's a coal scuttle!" "Not by a darned sight! A wife, you blankety blank fool!" "Oh, oh. and you'll give me Miss Leah? Will you, Mr. Poole? Will you give her to me for my wife? ITS ALWAYS BAD. The Best of Backs Are Bad When They Ache, and Astoria People Know It A bad back is always bad. Bad at night when bedtime comes, Just as bad in the morning. Ever try Doan's Kidney Pills for it? Know they cure backache cure every kidney ill? William McLarty, living at 16th and Washington streets, Oregon City, Ore., says: "I had persistent back ache and pain through the loins that seemed to never let up. At night I could not find a comfortable position or get any restful sleep on account of the continual aching and as a result, I lost energy. I learned of Doan's Kidney Pills curing others of similar troubles and I procured a box. By the time I had used half of one box, there was so much improvement that it seemed almost unnecessary to take any more, but I finished the box to make sure of a permanent cure."
