Speaking of the fitness of things, sometimes a woman who is a cat will have a "purring limousine," as they say in the stories. One love-sick young poet says his sweetheart has a face like a flower, The way they put it on these days he really means like a barrel of flour. The eyes may be the windows of the bouI, as the poet says, but the fash ionable girl uses the whole body for a show window when it comes to clothes. The difference we have noticed this: Before marriage a man speaks about his shirts in a careless, offhand manner. Afterward, when forced to do so, he refers to his other shirt. Florida Times-Union.

When the week-end traveler arrived at the little country village he found deserted streets and a terrlflo rain storm. The village had been adver tised as old world, and the pictures in the guide book suggested a little bit of heaven. But to the unhappy traveler smoky London seemed more than desirable. However, the last up-train had gone, so there was no hope, "Tell me," he said to the porter sta- tionmaster inspector, "can you direct me to the best hotel here?" "I can, sir. But, as a matter of fact, I hardly like to. "Oh! Why?" "Because when you've seen It you'll say I'm a liar!" London Answers. For old sores apply Hanford's Bal sam. Adv. Handed Down. Peggy was two years younger than Bessie. As is the way with younger sisters Bessie's outgrown clothes be came Peggy's humiliating heritage One day Bessie made an exciting dis covery.

For fouls in 'cattle use Hanford's Balsam. Adv. Such Sweet Partings. William Dean Howells, the novelist, was talking about a poet. "His work is over-refined, over-delicate, over-nice," he said. "In short, his work reminds me of the young husband who said to bis bride at the end of the honeymoon: " 'Darling, I'll have to leave you every morning hereafter to go to busi ness; but, to make the parting less abrupt, I'll no longer take the 8:15 express as I used to do I'll take the 8:20 slow accommodation.'" If your skin is scratched by a rusty nail, apply Hanford's Balsam at once. It should prevent blood poison. Adv. Needed a Brake. Farmer Hans was in search of a horse. "I have the very thing you want," said the stableman, "a thoroughoing road horse. Five years old, sound as a quail, $175 Cash down, and he goes 10 miles without stopping." Hans threw his hands skyward. "Not for me," he said. "I vouldn't glf you five cents for him. I llf eight miles out In de country and I'd haf to valk back two miles." Philadelphia Ledger.

Sugar Recover From Drop. Sugar advanced 15 cents again yes terday, making a total Increase of 65 cents within the past 30 days. This nearly wipes out the sensational drop of 75 cents made about two months ago, and all signs point to a continued advance to higher prices than early this summer, when all records were broken. Granulated cane sugar Is now $7.75 a sack. Potatoes are advancing in price. The middle western crop this year Is said to be from 40 to 00 per cent short and already the Yakima crop is being drawn upon for eastern shipments. The local crop Is no! all dug yet, but Is said to be normal. The price now ranges around $21 a ton for locals and $25 for Yakimas. Frosty nights have caused some of the fresh local field products to be come scarce. Tomatoes are being picked green by growers who want to save what they can before a killing frost destroys the remainder of the crop. Blackberries in the valley were said to be badly damaged by Monday night's frost, but the local demand is light and prices failed to advance. Tokay grapes are still jobbing at $1.35 a crate but an advance is ex pected soon. Elberta and Crawford peaches are still running Btrong at 00 cents a box. Peaches are rapidly nearing the end of their season. Can taloupes are getting scarce. Apples are arriving in large quantities. Steel Company Buys Site. Portland Fifteen acres of land sit uated north of the plant of the Shell Oil company at Willbridge have been purchased as the site for the new Portland plant of the Pacific Coast Steel company and an allied Industry, according to A. C. Callan, whose orig inal announcement at a recent pros perity dinner that these two industries were coming to Portland was made in The Oregonian. Approximately 10 acres of the pur chased tract will be utilized for the plant of the steel company, construc tion of which will probably be com menced within the next year. Until the final details of the entire plant are worked out, the Identity of the auxiliary Industry will not be announc ed, Mr. Callan said. The property purchased does not front on the Wil lamette river, but Is not far removed from the waterfront and has adequate railroad facilities. Flour Retailing Lower Than Wholesale Minneapolis. The continued riBe In the price of flour has brought about an unprecedented condition In the lo cal market. While sevdral retailers were selling top grade Minneapolis flour at $8.00 to $8.70 a barrel, In single barrel lots, the millers were asking $8.85 and $9 for the same grade In carload lots. . "Millers have no control over retail prices," said one miller. "It Is possi ble for a retailer holding flour pur chased at low prices to retail it now at a figure lower than the mills could produce it at present1" Producers Get the Money. According to reports Issued this week,' by the United States depart ment of agriculture on crop and live stock prices, the producer was paid an average Increase of 9.3 per cent dur ing the month of August for his prod ucts. The government report is that the index figure of prices on Septem ber 1 was 21.9 per cent higher thaii two years ago, and 18.6 per cent high er than the average of the last eight yars on this date. This report shows that the producer was paid 19.4 per cent more for his meat animals than Eleotrlo Heating of Houeee. Stockholm, way up on the Baltic sea aide of Sweden, in a cold proposition for many months in the yoar. Not only Its far-north latltudo, but Its In- aulur situation conduces to cold cli matic conditions. For Stockholm Is built mostly on Islands, and Is called the Venice of the liiiltlc, But the people In the city kenp very warm during the long winters, and thoy do so through electrical heating arrangements. Fuul for Individual families was an Immense item In Sweden, as it Is in all cold countries, but in the past few years the eloctrl cians of the country have bent their energies to the development of the natural water powers, to the end that electricity has bocome the chief fuel. Hot water tanks In hotels, churches and all public and private buildings are heated by electricity from a near by power plant, and the hot water Is sent through the houses pretty much as It goes through similarly heated houses In our cities. The electricity that' heats the water is turned on at night when the family rotlres, and by morning the tank Is so hot that the water, pumped automatically through the house pipes, gives the inhabitants all the comforts of steam heat, and It lastB through the whole day. The chief difference Is that we build our coal fires In our furnaces, and have smoke and ashes to contend with, while the Swedes press a button that connects the house tank wire with the power plant, and the work is done, with no aftermath of cleaning up.

Casey, a friond of Hogan's, had been away and arrived In town on the day of the funeral. With his satchel In his hand, he passed Hogan's house, Just as the pallbearers wore carrying the casket out to the hearse. Hogan had been a very large man and the pallbearers were straining every mus cle. Casey stood aghast, but finally ap proached one of the pallbearers. Whos In there?" he demanded, pointing to the casket. "Hogan," panted the pallbearer. "What, is Hogan dead?" The pallbearer turned upon Casey disgustedly and said: "For the love of Mike, you don't think we are Just hearBlng this, do- you?" Brooklyn Eagle; A Time for the Two Bears. We have a friend who Is fond of telling how hiB elderly mother took him aaide when he was about to be married and advised him always to keep two bears In his home if he would be happy. When he asked her what she meant she explained that, the animals she had In mind were "bear and for bear." The homely Btory is one that we Americans might well lay to heart just now. In both our foreign and domestic relationships great forbear ance may soon be necessary to avoid quarrels, and quarrels are invariably ruinous to happiness, disturbing to business and nearly always lead us to do many things that we afterward re gret.

Harrisburp, Tena " When I was single-1 suf fered a great deal from female weakness because my work compelled me to stand all day. I took Lydia E. Finkliam's Vegetable Compound, for that and was rnado stronger by its use. After I was married I took tho Compound again for a female trouble and after three months I passed what the doctor called a growth. He said it was a miracle that it came away as one generally goes under the knife to have them removed. I never want to be without your Compound in the house."
