THE GAZETTE-TIMES,. HEPPNER, ORE., THURSDAX, .NOV. 1. 191t PAGE THREE Long had he worshipped her at a distance, but his shyness prevented him from proposing. Then, one eve ning, for the sweet sake of charity, a theatrical performance took place, in which the charmer was leading lady and more adorable than ever. Afterward the shy admirer drew near his love made valiant by the sight of her beauty. "You are the star of the evening," he said, as they stood alone in a corner. "You are the first to tell me so," said the damsel, with a happy blush. "Then," he re torted promptly, "may I claim my re ward as an astronomer?" The lady looked puzzled. "What reward?" she asked. "Why, the right to give my name to the star I have discover ed!" said the young man, speaking boldly at last. Argonaut. Thos. Ross, well known wool buyer from Echo was in Heppner the last of the week looking over the local wool 'market.

His lassie was a sensible lass and she knew him to be the richest man in town. But she wanted to be sure that he had come by all his money honestly before she decided to marry him. "Hoo is it that ye quote the low est prices In the toon, and make re ductions on them for yer freens, and yet ye make sich enormous profits?" she asked. "Weel, it's this way," explained Phairson MacPherson, in an under tone. "And ye'll be no telltn' any one about it wull ye?

But the problem seems to have been solved at last. A Paris scien tist has been experimenting on pins, jha'rpins and needles by the simple process of watching a few. He states that they practically disappear into thin air by changing into ferrous ox ide, a brownish rust that Boon blows away in dust.- An ordinary hairpin took only 154 days to blow away. A steel pen lasted just under fifteen months. A com mon pin took eighteen months to vanish. A polished steel defied the ravages of the atmosphere longest, taking two and a half years to disap pear. So the reason why the world la not a foot deep In the pins it buys is, it seems, exactly the same which makes an iron surface scale off when expos ed for a long time In atmosphere without the protection of paint.

"Father Bays you was to fill this," replied the little fellow, handing over a pint jar. It was duly filled and handed back. "Father will pay you next Satur day," said the recipient casually. Then the face of the shopman grew dark. "We don't give credit here," he said. "Gimme back the jar." Meekly the small boy handed back the jar, which was emptied and re turned with a scowl.
