The way to build up Dallas ts to pat ronize Dallas people. and Anally, when the parental sum mons came for Mary, sounding through the night, like a rude blare of the trumpet that ended your mo ments of Joy, you bid the Angel good night and walked home on air, with a heart as light as the ghost of the thistle-down that kissed your face on a summer day. It was puppy-love, as they call It, but no passion could be more com plete, soulful, overmastering. It en grossed your waking hours and ran riot through your dreams. As you look back now, after the gray has silvered your temples and your girth prevents the use of last season's trousers, you know that that same puppy-infatuation was pure as the snow that clings to the sides of the wind-swept mountain, and Its enthralling mastery of your soul is one of the brightest spots that lingers In the memories of the past. It was the lure of youth, the golden spring-time of the soul, but every heart beat was true, every inspiration was uplifting because of it, and it has had Its effect upon your life. Puppy- love may be the Jest of others, the object of their sarcastic Jokes, but those who have felt It are none the worse for the experience, and the man or woman who never enjoyed Its ab sorbing passion has missed one of the enchanted that leads grave. "GOI.V HOP-PICKINV "Goin' hop-pickin'?" queried Jim mie, aged 12, reclining gracefully against the postoffice corner. "You bet, ain't you?'"- "Auh, I can't say I'm crazy about ut. Nobody but goils and yer grand mothers pick hops any more and I soitenly hate f be classed wid them," came the elegant rejoinder. "What's the diff, we don't have to have any thing f do with them, and I'll never get that gun 'nless I do, so I'm goin" t' pick," the younger lad finished up decidedly. "Where yer folks goin' this year?" "Oh, Krebbs, I 'spose." (Disgust edly.) Gee, don't ut make vuh sore." sympathized Jlmmie. "They got the swellest swimmin' hole down at Mc Laughlin's, and you bet I'm goin' in ever day. Well, guess I d better be muchln'. S'long, Algy." "S'long, Jim."

In last week's issue of the Saturday Evening Post Is a story that Will ap peal to all who have not forgotten the glad, free time of youth. We refer to "Mary Smith," by liooth Tarking ton. Those who are familiar with Tnrkington hnnlly suspected that he could write a story with so much of the human Interest in it; that he could break away from problem sub jects and get right down to the soul and weave words, and thoughts, and actions, into a title that brings a plensunt smile and warms the cockles of hearts that have long since forgot ten the days of the pant when all the world was a Imttlcrllld to be conquer ed and made subservient to their needs. If you haven't read this delightful story, by all means do so at once. You will be richly repaid for the time it requires if you have still within your muke-up the ability to Inirk buck In retrospection to the time when the heart beat young, and life was glad, and free and fresh, like the first, faint smile of Spring or the diamonds of dew on the moist lips of the new born rose. It's a Btory of what Is sarcastically styled "puppy-love," butlet those who dare, smile at thut tender emotion. Those who have felt It and who has ,nnt know that nowhere, and at no time in all the cycles of the seasons, has there ever come to the heart a warmer thrill than that which took up its abiding place there when you first discovered that "Mary Smith" was the "only girl" in all the world. I.Ike Tlenry Mlllick Chester returning from his Junior year at college, life at once assumed ti changed aspect. "The old life" seemed commonplace and futile, and a new field opened be fore you. You suddenly realized that you had reached man's estate and you yearned to tackle some of the mighty problems that were confronting ordi nary men, and In a moment solve their riddles and show them how brains and pluck and Ingenuity could accomplish wonders. You built mighty castles with lofty spires and countless minarets, set high upon the walls of the world and peopled with the numberless services you had ren dered mankind. In a twinkling your whole sphere nf endeavor had undergone a change. Thut life's duty for which you had been trained suddenly grew ordinary. Not that you didn't care for It, but from your new viewpoint, you knew that you were fitted for nobler things. No drudging In an olllce or menial service In a mercantile pursuit, ut the beck and cull of the public, for you. Well, hardly. You could establish empires, If anybody wanted one, or you could find an opportunity. People would honor you. and call you from the humble walks of life to positions of power, where your ability would entitle you to remain, securely en trenched In the hearts of your coun trymen. All this was the result of "Mary Smith" and the enthralling spell of her personality. To be sure you probably hadn't graduated from knickerbockers so very long ago, and probably Mary's dresses hadn't length ened below her shoe tops, but such thlngB were mere incidents, and of no moment, whatever. Possibly your father or mother looked askance at your passion, but they were to be pitied. They could never have loved as you did. They certainly never had known the absorbing passion, the complete, overmastering worship, such us you bestowed upon Mary Smith. and what small pains they took to make light of your infatua tion only served to fan the flame to a brighter Muse. You "nursed'" your love In secret. You slipped out into the grove and. seated on n mow grown log, yon gazed longingly to ward the south, or the east, or the west, or In whatever direction the divine girl lived, and you sighed and sighed, and your heart thumped until your suspender buckles rattled, and a sibling warmth of hot emotion steep ed your soul.

MICH SPACE FOR PAIR SHOWS More than 20,000 Oregon Repub licans Indicated their choice of La- lionrri Finds Difficulty in Securing .Suf ficient Koom For All. SALEM, Aug. 20. So extensively has the State Board of Horticulture planned for the free attractions at the state fair this year, it is becoming Kollette In the April primaries. The difficult to furnish sufficient space for Wisconsin senator was second in the race In this state. Senator LaFol lette has announced his allegiance to the Republican party and has bitterly attacked the ISullmoosers in his mag azine, and publicly. He will soon take the stump in defense of his real pro gressive principles and will advocate the election of the Republican nation al ticket. Those wild supporters of the Roosevelt party who are declaring that their god will sweep Oregon In the November election, have another guess coming. Do they suppose for a minute that these 20.000 Ijil-'olli tte Republicans, or even a portion of them, will cast their ballots for the man who defeated their candidate, and even prevented a compromise which might have made his nomina tion at Chicago possible? On the oth er hand, our Democratic friends who are claiming that the Wisconsin man's support will go to Wilson, are not counting the fact that these men are Republicans, that they have re mained true to the organization and. following the advice -of their leader, undoubtedly will be found lined up. as heretofore, with the party rather than against It. both the attractions and the conces sioners. The Parker shows, conceded to be one of the largest carnival firms In this country, has requested the board to set aside nearly two times the space occupied by it last year, while concessioners from every sec tion of the West are flocking toward Salem in a frantic search for space. Never before in the 51 years' his tory of the Oregon state fair will there be such an array of free attrac tions as there will be for the fifty first assembly. The board has ex pt nded approximately $4500 for music and free entertainment, while the stakes and purses offered In the ppeed program amount to $30,100.
