' AH Portland, almost berathlessly, is
t awaiting the arrival of July 10. Re
member the date July 20, 16 days
after the Fourth. The women are the
ones mostly Interested, but the men,
and even the children, are waiting
anxiously, too.
On that etate July '20 all summer
goods will be put on sale at . bargain
day prices in all the Portland stores.
This was decided upon several weeks
' ago by all the merchants of the city.
Those who have been awaiting tho
midsummer cuts wondered whv thev
were late. They weren't l ite they have
simply best) delayed. But everything is
all right now, and early on the morning
cf July 20, there will be a rush for
, your life In every Portland store.
Worn-out transfers transfers that
liave been used help a little bit every
day In operating the Portland street
cars on which they have originally been

were hanging
his neck had been lacerated and frac
tured and his front feet well, they
wero Just about all In, too.
So Mr. Teddy bear was tossed over
In a corner where worthless things are
thrown. No one thouaht for a moment
that It would ever be called for.
But sure enough several days later
a little miss appeared. The rnlss was
all dressed up In white clothes and
a blue sash and just looked too cute
for anything. But with all her clothes
there was a certain expression of sad
ness In her little swollen eyes.
As big as life she entered the office
of the company at First and Alder
streets and approached the man at the
"Have you a lost Teddy bearT" she
said. I M
The attendant looked over the j If
shelves and among his account books.
Ho had forgotten all about that one
that once was one, over In the cor
ner In the rubbish.
"No," he eaid.
"You haven't got my Teddy, you
say?" questioned the little miss again
aa she sort of choked and puckered up
her lips.
The man shook his head In the neg
atlve. And then he thought of the
one o'er in the dark, all tattered and
torn.
"What does your Teddy look like?"
he said aa it Is the custom to require
all persons to identify articles before
they are returned to thm,
"Oh," said tha girl a she brightened
up a bit, "he's about as big aa a kitty,
has nice, soft fur, Is pretty and cute
and Just the dearest .thing la the
world."
Tha deacrlDtlon didn't tally worth a
cent with the one that be had, so the
man behind the counter began to tmnu
that the girl was on the wrong track.
"Has your Teddy a broken leg?"
asked the man as he pulled the lost one
Into view.
"Yes, four," she said, and as she
caught sight of it she cried with Joy:
"Teddv. don't you know me?"
Teddy had been identified. There
waa no question about it.
Old Newport with its swell soolety
and Its monkev dinners nnd all that sort
of thing Isn't so much after all a Port
land woman Has capped the climax oy
giving a birthday dinner to her favorite
pussy cat.
The woman lives over In the Holla
day addition, and It was only a few days
ago that she gave the unique dinner
In honor of her cat which startled all
Portland society folks beyond expecta
tions. In other words, Portland Is all
agog with news of this affair.
Many women attended the afternopn
stunt. Some of them, It Is said, vfent
out"'of curoslty. Others who attended
didn't know Just what was coming off.
The guests had tea and wafers and a
lot or other good things to eat. All the
while the cat was having a good tlmo
strutting about the parlors and enjoy
ing the admiration which It attracted
on account of Its second birthday and
the celebration In general.
It Is reported that after the guests
had gone the cat had its real feed. This
consisted, so It Is said, of mien Uvr
sandwiches, mice hearts, saute, creamed
risn eyes, ana many oiner delicacies, In
cluding some rat, of which cats are par
ticularly fond.
The monkey dinner was the talk of
Newport It was also' the hit of the
season.
Portland's cat birthday dinner has
also been somewhat of a success, but
there Is no Indication that the craze
will be become popular.

To "Currycomb" Fish.
From Good Housekeeping.
"Be sure not to forgot a new curry
comb;" said some one when the mem
bers of a prospective camping party
were making their list of supplies.
This made me curious, as I knew there
was to be no horse at the camp. In
quiry disclosed the fact that a curry
comb Is better than anything; else for
taking the scales from fish.

To see the ordinary peanut or pop

street corner one would never Imagine
even for a second that even he appre

anl that he spends considerable time
and money in dohiK so. But he docs.
Ami ho has found that It pays.
But the popcorn man doesn't ufo
printers' ink. It is .melted butter that

that he has something good to eat to

Shat will make a person want a sack of
nice fresh popcorn It Is to get a whiff
of the roasting kernals as they Jump
about as If they were alive in the little
popcorn popper.

by melting butter and remeltlng it and I
let the aroma from the hot grease Join I

For the man with' a case of "GAMBRINUS" in his home hot weather lias no terrors.
HE knows how to take comfort. lie knows that he can put his body in condition to withstand
the discomfort of hot weather by common sense use of GAMBRINUS.
HEALTHY people don't mind the warm days we're having now. And drinkers of GAM
BRINUS are invariably healthy.
Some people say they can't drink beer, that it makes them bilious,

They haven't tried the right
f j FT
PURE beer like GAMBRINUS CAN'T make one bilious. It never leaves the brewery until it
has been properly aged and all fermentation is over with. It is made from the best of barley
malt and hops, and the wrater comes from a well on the premises a well of great depth which pro
duces water that chemists pronounce the purest possible to obtain.
