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. Much of the 1916 wool clip
'remains unsold and it is likely that
the present high market will bring
forth some sales.

Pharison MacPherson was a Scots
man. Also, he was a coal merchant.
Also, he was in love. 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

We really must let our sitting

'All right, my dear," he replied.

.Hinting for Ms rule, he visited the
fy. in iu question and made some
notes.
The days passed by, but no inqui
ries were -made.
I "Did you see to that advertise
ment?" asked Mrs. Dod..
"Rather! I had it in the next
day," replied her husband.
"It's disappointing to, have no in
inquiries.. What did you put in?"
Ho fetched the paper and proudly
showed the paragraph, which ran:
j "To let, furnished, sitting room;
I suitable for lady or gent, fourteen
feet-wide and cheerful."
j For many years the world has been
baffled by the problem of Where the
pins go that are turned out in mil
lions of millions by the pin factories
! 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.

In her draped and darkened tent
the amateur palmist was reading
hands for a charity. Her present
client was a fair maid, who waited
impatiently to hear her fate.
"Ah" said the palmist, with slow

"Please, sir," piped the tiny cus

the counter, "father wants some oak
varnish."
"How much does your father want,
my little man?" inquired the smil
ing shopman.
"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.
"Thank you, sir" he said. "Fath

BUICK DESIGN
BUICK VALVE-IN-HEAD POWER
The lightness of the Buick Valve-in lead motor and
not the enthusiasm of its salesmen has made the Buick
conspicuous for leadership.
This new four has a Buick Valve-in-Head motor (with
electric starter) which develops thirty-five horse power
on brake test and is so reliable for ruggtd service that no
eulogy is necessary among "men who know Buick."
Is lines are beautiful. . Finish and color are exception
al. Deep, tufted black genuine leather upholstery. Cov
ered floor and running board, with aluminum bindings,
give a trimness of appearance that is peculiarly Buick.
Body, hood, feeders and running gear are painted a
glossy, long-wr jing black; wheels are black with white
stripes. Tires 31x4 inches.
