"A Bird in the Hand

the Bush"
Is a well known adage, and a
correct one, too. In sub
stance it amounts to just this:
There's absolutely no ex
cuse for going to Portland or
anywhere else to buy Cloth
ing when we carry the well
known Alfred Benjamin
make, the very clothing that
many people go to the cities
to buy.

POI(TI,Al .MAHKFr ItF.I'OUT.
Portland. Ore., .May 27. There
was n revival In lino contracting dur
ing I ho past 24 hours. Buyers are
out In the country trying to purchase
a few Hood Krndes of 1907b and In
Hie meantime are freely offering He
for oik? year contracts, 0c for two
yiar and 10c for three year con
tracts. This Is an average of lie, a
pound. A few growers, who are
anxious to remain In the business are
said to be accepting, but generally
speaking,, thn -prices offered are ro
low :is to admit of not a single cent
profit, during the term of the con
tract. Therefore the growers feel
(hat they would be working three
years for the hop dealers without 'a
salary.
Diunnge Done to Fruits,
llnportlni? on fruit conditions In
all parts of the State, Secretary Wil
liamson, of .the Slnto Hoard of Hor
ticulture, fays that while the yield of
some fruits promise to bo large, oth
ers are sure to be under the average
as a result of Inn late frosts and the
backward spring. The apple crop
promises to be a large one and the
output of peaches Is likely to bo well
up unci t tlvo average. In prune
there will ho n material falling off
from the ncrmal, and the outlook
for pours Ih about the same, it Is
believed that the cherry crop will he
from onc'hnir to two-thirds the ai.e
of that or 11107. .

Tim Itoitcoe ant on the cbal box at
the rear of the station and gazed dis
contentedly upon the shabby little
town. I'or the first time lie was un
impressed by the fact that Cbeldon
Center possessed two bunks und a
oricK potuomce luia sioou ipitiv upari
from other buildings und pulu u good
salary.
Ever since be could remember It bad
been a treat to drive over to the Cen
ter, and be hud been rather proud of
the town. Now be was seeing it
through Mutle Westcott's eyes, and the
huddle of wooden buildings distressed
him. Itccently be bud seen 11 maga
zine picture of lower Broadway, wllh
Its mountains of masonry and Its riv
ers of humanity (lowing through the
narrow cnuyous called streets, lie
wondered what Ma tie would think
when presently the train from the
Junction should roll In and she should
stand on tbe station platform, compar
ing the place to the New York she had
Just left. lie bsd never seen Sew
York, but he knew much about tbe
wonder city, and he knew ulso that
Matte would never again be content
with Cbeldon Center, lunch less with
Gardenvale. She would despise the
town and lis people alike.
Matic's cousin Bess had married
well. 11 or husband, Itlchard llelilln.
had been the secretary to n railroad
magnate who made his summer home
011 the hills back of Cnrdenvale. Bel-
lin bad met and married Bess Betty
luring one of those summer visits.
fter making money In stocks he and
Hess bad urged Mntie to visit them.
Tim bad said goodby with tintisual
meaning as he had dielped her aboard
the train nt the Center. There bad
been more than n hint In Bess' letter
that she had a match In mind for Ma
tte. All that had happened two months
ago. Today Mntlo was coining home.'
iV faroff whistle announced the ap
proach of tho train, and Tim sauntered
around to the front of tbe station. The
platform was crowded with outgoing
passengers and Hie usual reception
committee of small country town
loungers. Tim lost himself in the
crowd until the (rain pulled In. 'and a
lithe, girlish llgure sprang down, the
ruMman steps before tbe porter could
offer bis baud.
Tim bad been watching the day
conches, but he sensed Matle's pres
ence and hurried to relieve her of her
suit case. It was the llrst sign of the
change, this substitution of-the smart
lenihor case for the near-leather valise
which had beLUi considered good

enough for (raveling when she bad
left home. .
"Your pa couldn't get over." he ex
plained 11s be raised his cap without
offering his hand. He had beard that
people In the city did not shake hands,
iMlt simply (lowed.
"Father sick?" asked Millie quickly.
Tim shook bis head.
"It's only the rheumatism," be ex
plained, "bul he (bought it would bo
bad to i;et out In the cold, and so he
asked me to come. I'll get your
trunk. "
Matle handed him the check In si
lence, and presently the smart new
trunk bud Joined the suit ease In tho
box of the bobsled, and TI111 offered
her bis hand to help her Into the sent.
"It ain't an automobile." be said
apologetically, "but 1 thought you'd
K In a hurry to get your trunk over to
ibow nil your pretty things, so I didn't
bring the cutter."
"That was nice of you." said Matle
lppivclatlvcly. "1 do want to display
ill the wonders 1 brought back froie
town. Tim. do you suppose we could
stop nt the grocery and get some gin
ger snaps? There was. no dining car
011 tbe train, and I'm hungry."
"Your 11m sent over a liox of lunch,"
he responded, diving under the seat
and producing a shoe box tilled wllh
homemade enke and biscuit sand-
I niches. Matle gave n cry of delight. '
"That's Just like mother," she de
clared ns she extracted a huge wedge
ef cake. "She knew I'd bo hungry
for home thing."
"I should think you could get better
rooking I the city." observed Tim pes
simistically. "They tell me that some
of their ioks get j: 1.000 n year."
"Lots of them." assented Matle, "the
chefs In the restaurants. Some get
more than that, but they can't make
blscull taste like home. They dou't
know what home Is In the city. Tim."
"I should think n man could make
pretty gixxl biscuits for 11 thousand det
ain a year." said Tim praetlca
' But he doesn't make them nt all."
loclared M.itle laughingly. "Tlnyjiioro
none)' n cook Bets Qc less bo Woks.
f ! lit
no Just orders the others around. At
tho hotel where Bess lives the chef
Joes uot cook at all. lie would feel lu0
suited If you were to ask him I".
"Bess live In a hold?" usked Tim 1"
surprise. '" should think thai would
cost 11 lot of money. BUI I'ratl flopped
at a hotel, and Ihcy charged him a
dollnr and 11 bulf a day. and luey never
fed him for that."
"Bess and Dick hove six rooms In an
apartment hotel." explained .Matle.
"They pay $.i.C0O n year Just for six
rooms."
Tim whistled: "You could build a
bouse for that:" he cried.
"Not iu trye city." she reminded.
"Land costs too much. They have to
build houses high to get the value of
the land, although, of course, there are
a lot or private houses. Most persons
prefer the apartments."
"I suppose that even the Centet
seems 11 pretty small place inev." sug
gested Tim, upon whom a gloom had
settled.
"Not a lilt of II." declared Matle
brightly. "It's noire like home than
New York was, and I'm just crazy te
ste Curdenvnlc."
Tim touched up the team.
"We'll be there pretty soon," he said
ns be pointed to the hill ahead. Once
lip there the)' should come In sight of
the town nestling In the valley 011 the
other side of the divide.
It was a tedious climb, but presently
It wns accomplished, and a short drive
brought them, to the brow of the hill
11 the other side. Matie gave a little
cry of delight ns the road broke
through the trees.
A tiny river wound its way past the
town, a huddle of frame buildings
along the straggling main street, with
a half dozen back streets sparsely set
tled. The snow covered roofs gleamed
while In tbe winter suu. and the spirals
of Klnoke from the chimneys iuleusilied
tbe whiteness of the snow. Matie laid
her baud upon Tim's, holding the reins.
"I want to get a good look a mo
ment." she explained. "All the time I
was away I could shut my eyes and
see the town, but it wasn't real like
(Ills Is."
"What's the use of shutting your
eyes and seeing a make believe' (Jar
denvale wheii'you could open them and
see real thirty story buildings';" de
manded Tim. practically. "Mehle the
town is u sort of contrast, but 1 sup
posed that you would come back and
make fun of our town und the people.
What'll you do wnen you go back 10
New York to live?"
"But I'm not going hack," she de
clared stoutly. "I know what you
mean." she added ilciiantly. "Bess
wauled 10 -marry ine to 11 young man
down there. She wanted to dazzle nie
wllh (he (own, and (hen she thought
I'd be glad to marry to stay (here, but
I didn't."
"Why not?" asked Tim breathlessly.
"1 was almost ashamed to come over
after you In the bobs after your riding
in automobiles and in (he subway and
things like that, and I didn't suppose
you'd care for that lunch alter all the
I city truck you'd been ealing."
Matie regarded him scornfully.
"Bess did one thing." she said quiet
ly. "She made me contended with my
lot. They live in n real palace with a
hundred servants, and they don't ever
walk up and down, stairs. They have
beautiful rooms and costly food, but
It's not like a home. Why, Tim, most
of the men iu New York don't even
have time to love their wives. They're
too busy making money."
Tim cleared his throat and (lxed his
gaze upon (he distant hills.
"Matle,"' lie said timidly. "I I've
got 11 lot of time and and"
"And you've been wasting It making
yourself miserable over the thought
that I was going to come back cilllied
and tired of old faces and friends." re-
I minded Mntie. "I'm afraid you don't
! make very good use of your time,
I Tim."
! "I'm going to spend the rest of It In
j telling you that 1 love you." said Tim
I boldy. and Matle's face gave nssurauce
that the telling would be welcome.
Tho Dridf's Weakness.
"That Is the second time I have done
that within 11 week." said the bride of
six months ns she put down her pen.
wllh a disgusted expression on her
face, "and I Just don't like it I"
"What have you done now?" queried
her friend.
"Done? I have made out a check,
signed It, Inclosed It with a bill and
mulled It, expecting to receive the re
ceipt back, and Instead 1 have got

jone day both surprised and gralitlod by
inn elderly lady, who, though reputed to

chimes would be sounded at a spcvillc

to, and they were soon in active open
