"TT GOLLY." the inoffensive ,ap
11. pear ins; citizen exclaimed, as he
lisped unobtrusively into room 616. "My
tolly, but it smells good In here."
The girl with the horn-rimmed glasses
stopped the insistent clicking of her
typewriter to gaze at the Intruder with
a Cool and level eye,
"I beg your pardon?" she intoned wltb
the rising inflection. - . , . -
"You ain't done nothin to me." T.
Paer said genially, "but I ain't smelled
nothin' as sweet since I bucked - hop
sacks in Horst's yard in the fall 'v.S.",
"Are you from Salem?" the young lady
asked, a glint of friendly interest show
ing in her eyes. : . . . .
"I used, to be,".T. Paer admitted, "Cut
when Doc Stelner begun to get so inter
ested ltv how I felt I moved down here.
Hay." be asked, lowering his voice to a
confidential-key, "is the new assistant

"You mean Mr. Wllllamsr the young
lady smiled.
"You said it." T. Paer grinned back
at her. "Ralph E. Williams. A. P. O.
Tell him they's a constituent out here
that don't want to be prohibition officer
or anything."
"Mr. Williams says to come in." i the
young lady said from the door of the
inside office.
"O'mornin', General." T. Paer said,
backing up against the radiator by the
window. "How was Warren and Will
when you left D. C.r
"Both the president and Mr. Hays
were well,", Willlqcns answered. "How
do you feel' since The inauguration?
' "Well." T. Paer answered ' thought
fully. "I ain't seeji no difference in my
lumbago, yet." "
"What's that got to do with your lum
bago?" Williams asked. "You don't
think we're running a hospital do you?"
"No," T. Paer answered, "but it was
promised that Harding's election would
cure everybody of jvhat ailed 'em, and
that's about all that bothers me."
"Hold the thought," Ralph advised
him, "and maybe you'll get relief" yet"
"As long's it ain't my "breath," T. Paer
grinjied, "maybe I can stick it out. But

Old Man Coyote

--, Old Man CojoU- -
OLD MAN COYOTE Is one of those
crafty people who rarely say things
't-iirht nut.. He Drefers to hint at things
and let . others guess at just what he
means. Then "if they guess wrong hey
t annot say ' that he told them wrong.'
There - are many people like Old Man
Coyote in the Great World and they do a
great deal of mischief and get a great
many others into trouble without getting
Into trouble themselves.
Now. Old Man Coyote was not at alll
pleased with the Idea of another Bear
in the Green Forest. ' Buster Bear was
quite enough to Old Man Coyote's way
of thinking. In fact, he would have
been glad enough to have ; had ; the
'Green Forest rid of Buster. Buster
had caught many a mouse that Old Man
Coyote had intended for himself. Now,
to have another Bear, Mrs. Buster, in
the Green Forest was most disturbing.
But you would never have guessed
this could you have seen him and heard
him the first time he met Mrs. Bear.
It was near the place where Peter Rab
bit had seen Mrs. Bear digging roots.
He came trotting along through the
Green Forest quite as if the : last
thought in his shrewd ' head was that
any one else was about, vv hen he saw
Mrs. Bear he stopped short and sat
down with such a look of surprise on
his sharp . face that you never would
have guessed that he had been follow
ing Mrs. Bear's scent with his keen
nose; in fact,, had been looking fori her.
"Well. well, well, what a surprise 1"
exclaimed Old Man Coyote, grinning in
a way that was intended to be pleasant.
"Welcome to the Green j Forest, Mrs.
Bear ! Have you come for a vislf, or
do you intend to stay?"
Mrs Bear . stopped digging long
enough to look at Old Man Coyote, and
in ther small eyes for her sixe her
eyes were small was a gleam of sus
picion which might have made Old
Man Coyote uneasy had he seen it. "I
rather think I will stay, said she in a
deep, grumbly, rumbly voice, which
she tried to make sound pleasant. "This
seems to be quite, the nicest place I
have ever found. I've about decided tp
make my home here.". :
"Splendid!" exclaimed Old Man Coy
ote, trying to make his voice sound
hearty and as if he were delighted.
"Splendid! Permit me to welcome. you
to the Green Forest. We ehall all feel
very proud to have you for a neighbor,
and I am sure you will like the Green
Forest. ;.'' "'V ' i . t.
"I like it now," grunted Mrs. Bear.
"Of course 'you do. Of course you
do." agreed Old Man Coyote. "It really

"I didn't discuss politics with them."
Williams answered, the glint of a smile
in his eye. "and," he continued, "they
didn't discuss it with me."
"Oh, all right," T. Paer said. "Then,
you tell me,' he insinuated. .
. "I haven't anything to do with the
appointments," Williams insisted.
"I know,"4T. Paer chuckled, "it's the
roiM that hinn the man. not the fellah
ithat punches the button."
"Well," Williams said, fixing his vtsi-
tor with a poker eye, Tm not pushing
the button.;
"Maybe not." T. Paer agreed, "but
maybe you might accidentally lean up
against It when you was ; lighting a
cigar." ; . i ' ;

tered. ; ... r -
"Bosh." T.; Paer exclaimed, "the elec

"My gracious." T. Paer exploded, "all

What'll they dor .
" "Wait, meekly wait, and mur-mur

"Oh, they'll wait all right." T. Paer
grinned, "but I can't see that "meekly
and murmur not stuff. They're growlin
like a pup with a last year's soupbone
already." ,i !:
"Well," Ralph replied, "I , told you I
didn't have anything to do with it."
"I heard you the first time," T. Paer
responded, "but if anything'd happen n
you do, keep it dark."
"Why?" Williams asked him.
"All the boys." T. Paer answered, "are
mad because they have to wait, 'n all
that don't get a job 're goin out "n take
the hide off n everybody in sight."
"There may, be a lot of truth in that,"
Williams admitted.
"You know ; it," T. Paer answered.

is a wonderful place. If it were not
for two or three trifling things U
would be quite perfect."
"What do you mean, by trifling
things?" demanded Mrs. Bear, sitting
up and looking very ' hard Old Man
woyote. " i ;
"Oh nothing ; serious, nothing serious.
Mrs. Bear,' replied Old Man Coyote.
"Nothing to be alarmed .about. I was
just thinking how much "nicer It would
be if hunters with terrible guns never
came here, and what a nuisance a dog
can be when he gets on one's trail. But
just the same, I am very fond of the
Green Forest. I don't suppose there
is any place in all the Great World
that is quite perfect. Now, I must be
on my way,' I hope I'll see you often,
Mrs. Bear, and that you'll find this
quite as pleasant a place as you ex
pected." : j ; -
"With this Old Man Coyote made her
a polite bow and trotted off. Once out
of Mrs. .dear's sight he grinned. "I
reckon those bints about - the hunters
and the dog wilt, spoil her appetite," lie
muttered. "'She probably wont think
or much else for a while. Now. if
Reddy Fox will do his part asd lead
Bowser the Hound over here, and
Farmer Brown's boy will just come
poking about so that she can see him
or smell him, I guess we will soon be
rid of her."' :-- ' ",y.:

Lumber Rate Same
A$ to Walla Walla
., A carload bf lumber ' can be shipped
from Portland to China or japan by boat
for about the-same price, as It can be
shipped to Walla Walla by rail, and it
costs as much to ship lumber to Salt
Lake City as to Australia,' according to
H. B. Van Duzer, manager of the Inman
Poulsen . Lumber company, who ad
dressed a meeting of the Portland Realty
board at the Portland hotel Friday.
High freight rates on transcontinental
shipment have delivered the Eastern
lumber : market into the hands of the
Southern pine manufacturers Van Duzer
stated, and cheap sea tonnage is respon
sible for the meagre prosperity of Port
land mills. ; '
The average weekly output of North
western lumber mills is about 60 per
cent of normal and mills of Portland and
other river cities are producing approx
imately 75 per cent of . their normal
output.

allowed to remain for" the full time of
the Wilson administration, eight years,
especially ' when ! it Is recalled that the
term of his predecessor, a -Republican,
lapped over into the Wilson administra
tion for 13 months.
The local postofflce, which has iievpr
paid a heavyweight salary, was ad
vanced from fourth to third class about
eight years ago, but owing to local con
ditions, due to the world war. It whs
relegated to fourth class In 1918. On
October 1," 1920,' it 'Was apaln advanced
to third class and, although it has since
been entitled to allowances ; for clerk
hire, rent, heat and light, the postmaster
has t&ver received these allowances tor
the reason that the department has no
fund available to meet them.
Regardless of this the job 'looks most
inviting to the "v'-e boys," some ot
whom imagine they see prestige, popu
larity, political pull and easy pickings In
the postmastership, hence are anxious to
annex the job as speedily as possible.
