The Daily Market Report PORTLAND, Dec. 19,-Trsde on Front street wit of unusually tnull proportion! today. Saturday ii slwsys more or less quiet day, for the re tailors generally are not in the mar ket to buy to any great extent, but the traffic was exceptionally light today, and the bulk of the trade wat with the peddlera and fruit atand operators At many of the whole fruit stores the customary sidewalk displays were wanting, having been taken inside to protect them against frost and snow, and In tome quarters the atreet wore a holiday appearance. In all I ints yesterday'! prices prevailed, and busi ness men said there wat not enough doing to warrant any chances In qu tations. Receipts from the South included five cars of bananas and one each of oranges and tweet potatoes, but only a small portion of the stuff wat un loaded on the atreet More oranges re coming early next week, to the ' chancel are that there will be plenty of thit fruit, and bananat also, for the holiday trade. But after Christmas the tupply of bananas will probably be tmatl, In view of the determination of the wholesale dealers to bring n small shipments hereafter. WHOLESALE PRICES. Grain, Flour, Hay, Etc.

"Ob, what Is the tuatterr cried Mia Adulatde, punning away the clothe to got down to her alater. "You lie still P came In a stern voice from the chair. Miss Adelaide crawled back and lay there trembling. In a minute alius Virginia came over to her. "It's the pin." she aald quickly. "1 must have dropped It there Sunday night when I went to the box tor your cough drops." "Oh. Virginia!" gasped her sister. Ten so glad! I'm so sorry that poor cUld"- . Miss Virginia Interrupted her. 1 guess I know that as well as you. Fin going to give ber this pin for Christmas!" As Christmas day drew near Scraps found herself In a strange kind of fairyland. The rooms were decorntof with holly and greens, the air was full of secrets, and, strangest and best of all, everybody was so good to her, In those few days of kindness the girt seemed to blossom out Tbe old restraint was banished and never re turned, ' Love crept Into ber heart and looked out of her eyes, and the old haunted look fled for ever. , ' -" Btie crept Into her little cot Christmas eV e with a happy heart 8he had left her Jlttle gift at etch door. 1 bhall always she felt that KXBP IT." (OO, WOUld not be quite forgotten. "Just some little thing to show it's Christmas," she prayed, and a bright tar shone down, like one of God's beautiful promises, and she lay there content Bhe never heard the five smiling old ladles creep softly up to her door; sho did not see until morning the Im mense bag labeled KA Christmas Bcrnps-bng." Then she was almost overpowered. "I don't know whnt to say," she cried, "only I'm so happy," She dressed In ber new clothes and visited each room, where she was re oilvcd with admiring looks.

HELENA, Dec 19.-Three gene rations more and I don't believe there will be a real Indian left in the coun-, try," said Special Agent Samuel Cone ' of the Indian Service today. Mr.j Cone is here as a witness before the j grand jury. He has spent the greater portion of his life in the Indian serv ice, "White men's clothing and houses have signed the death warrant of the Indian," continued Mr. Cone. "Con sumption and other diseases of a civi lized people have gotten a footing in every reservation in the country, and the ranks of the full bloods are being decimated rapidly. This is particu larly true of the older Indians Ii - roamed the plains and mountains be fore the creation of reservations and who have not been constitutionally fitted for the changed environment."
