“But let’s see—I promised you a gold
watch, didn't I?” queried Uncle Josh of
l'ully, and a ring made of native Oregon
gold. My friend, C. St. Louie, right
here, is the man to give us full value for
our money.” Addressing the popular
jeweler, the old man gallantly acquitted
himself of the promiae and then directed
Polly’s attention to the euperior «lock of
other wedding jewelry carried by the
house. "There is no other such a house
iu town,** said the old man, “and I will
guarantee lbs qualitv to be the very
best. Pick out your family doc k while
here,” he added. “And don’t forget an­
other fact,” he continued, * if ever yon
unfortunately need optical goods, this is
the place to come, and say, my boy, re­
member these folks are also expert doc*
tors on «ick watches."
Emerging from the drug and iswr’.ry
store. Uncle Josh heard Polly ruur’uur
something that Hounded like “new
woman.” “What's that,’joung lady?’»
lie demanded in an irate tone.
“Oh, 1 only remarked to Charley how
nice it would be if we both could have a
bicycle thin Mummer,” timidly replied
the girl.
“Well, that’s easy,” laughed Uncle
Josh, "and you just mentioned it in
tune, too, betause right down hers a
half a block is T. A. Hood A Go’s Cycle
ry. They sell tbs Crescent.”
"Just the wheel for me,” interrupted
Charley. “The Crescent is my choice
every tune For ¡xufset construction
and durability there aim no bike that
can touch ’em.”
“Well, I think, a Cleveland would
suit me,” chimed in Polly.
"All right, pick out one; I’ll fool the
bill,” replied the old man. Hood A Co.
have both makes, as wall as other stan­
dard makes.” The young people select­
ed their coveted bicycles and then Undo
Josli explained that IU mm I A Co. are also
headquarters for sundries and repairs.
“And another place I wish to take
you, children, ia to Scot I Griffin'a Hour
and feed store,” remarked the old man.
“Your introduction to town would not
be half complete without. Talk about
flour, why Ideas you there amt no flour

kind he sells. It's mads from choice
■elected whew, and bread made from it
don't get dry and stale, hut retains
moisture and ths natural flavor of the
w heat for several days. Then as to fee I,
Griffin is recognized headquarters for
that. He handles everything from gold­
en osts down to corn cobs, and serve«
customers with promptnews and dis­
patch. I’ve l»eeri dealing with Bcott
Griffin for a long time, and I tell you he
is a goijd man to tie to.”
“I declare, uncle,” exclaimed Charlie,
<s they left the feed store, “there goes a
handsoaie phaeton. I mtiwt have one
tike that for the girl.” “Get *it right
hero,” said ths old man. “You see,
my friend F. H Hchmidt over the way
onducts a carriage r«t*witory here that

not oe ties ten. He carries surreys, car­
nages. buggies and wagons of all the

led with a moderate profit, too.” Polly

arriage, but before they left Charley

While Uncle Josh
pondering
where to go next, Polly suddenly a*ked .
“Uncle, where can I find the leading
millinery establishment?”
“Just a
few door« further on,” remarked Uncle
Jo«h, “and we will visit Mrs. J. A. Reh
kopf’s Variety Store, who by the way.
has on hand one of (be complètent slocks
of millinery and fancy good« to be found
in the city. You can get what you want
there, the latest styles and lowest prices
being her motto. Mrs. Rehkopi'« ex­
perience guarantee« that,when you have
purchased of her you have the thing ac­
cording le fashion an<l’a latisfaclion that
your work has been done by a compe­
tent artist.” In a few minutes there
never was a happier girl than Polly for
she got a perfect dream'of a hat toget her
with a large supply of fancy gomls and
the bill didn't scare Uncle Joab either.
“And as you are going to keep a
horse,” continued the old man, “I reck­
on I'll have to give you my old nag,
Kitty, but of course, you'll need new
harness. The B oms horse milliner of
this section, to my notion is Jehu Hack­
ett on the corner. There is nothing in
harness that cannot be had of him—
heavy and light, single and double, plain
and fancy, work and buggy harness.
Hr has 'em in stock, or ran make 'em
to order, besides every other kind of
turf goods imaginable.” After a visit to
Hackett's harness store Charley said he
thought ”it a man couldn't get satisfied
t would be his own fault.” He ordered
a set of harness that makes that mare
Kilty look like a two-year-old.
