He has made us his deputies to ascertain the Christmas wants of Portland children, and to help' supply them. It's a Christmas store sure enoughfand if you will come to our Fdurth floor, alive with the Yuletide spirit, where happy throngs are seek ing gifts to make glad the Christmas of their friends, you will share in the enthusi asm you find there. You'll touch elbows with hundreds of others bent on the same mission as yourself, the securing of the best possible gifts for, their money, and you'll find hundreds of others who, as wisely as yourself, sought the Olds, Wort man & King store as a logical supply center. The display of dolls, the gaily painted toys, the whir of the mechanical playthings and the smiling faces of the happy children, take those of us who are older back to the days of our own youth when we knew that there was a Santa Claus. There is an added zest to the joy we feel in the Christmas surprises we are planning, and Yuletide takes on a deeper meaning. Do not miss Toyland, for it helps you to realize as nothing else can do the important part that this and many other large department stores display in making Christmas a joyful event all over this brdad land of ours. pa PLAY "DIABOLO- It's the greatest craze of my game that has hern devised in recent vears.

Primrose, a Portland prop erty .owner, better known throughout the country as a minstrel man and who, In spite of his 37- years In the roll of a comedian has a profile greatly resemb ling that of Sir Henry Irving, the late tragedian, arrived at the Hotel Portland this morning accompanied by his wife. His show, which opens at the Marquam Sunday night for a week came direct from San Francisco. It cost the com pany $987 to make tha jump. - , Bavjval of Old Tints. "In years to come, when all of the old original minstrel men played the darkey as h was portrayed on the sta-e30 or 40 years ago have given their last act and gone to the great beyond, there will be a revival of the aonga and dances $nd lokes such as old timers lixe m vrvn presented when we first entered the business," Mr. primrose said this morn ing. "But this will be many, many years yet" he added, as . be looked, rem In I s cently at the creen atma in the lobby which aeeoned to reftesh his memory of i his early experiences In his life's chosen profession. "There has been, one might say, an evolution in the minstrel business. We had to keep pace with the times. In doing this the old time stunts have been forgotten, put clear out of business, and something new, novel and original In troduced In theJr stead. It was our fault, in a way perhaps and then again It was on account of the people. Retiring Stoat a Joke. 'The Impersonation of the old-fashioned negro has passed out of present day existence. Those were good old days. God bless them. There Is no time like the old like those when the minstrel man as he acted then was in his prime. I wish I were going to see thoso shows revived. But I fear that I never will." There was a tone of sadness In the veteran's voice and he passed his hand over his forehead and sat and thought several minutes. Then he broke the si lence by saying something about going out of the minstrel business altogether retiring. "I tried it once,"' he went on, "and was only away from tha footlights six months. I went to my home in Mount Vornon. New York, and tried and im agined that VI would be contented. 1 wasn't. Not even from the first With in a few weeks I used to' find myself out in the havloft. nil alnnn. rlolntr songs and dances for the benefit of my self and to the horror of the cows and the horses.!'" Xing' of Dancers. George Primrose has always been known as a dancer. Despite his 64 years and his head, which is sprinkled with gray, he is known as one of the cleverest and most graceful men on his tfii m tne country. Mr. Primrose was asked If ha ever had. any desire to break into tragedy. ' "Never." he said. "I v was born in the minstrel business and 'will remain until until I retire, you might say." And then he laughed. He always laughs when he thinks of retiring. Owner of Portland Property. The minstrel man owns 40 acres on West Portland Heights. This morning he went out to look over his holdings. "I have been paying taxes on this land for some years," he said, "and every time 1 come here t like tcr go out there just to see tnat i am not Deing cheated.
