'lhrre was so much said about Sandy Chipmunk's store of nuts and f;rain that a few of the forest-people begati i to wish they had some of bandy's winter food for themselves. Uncle Sammy declared the next tyhat! Pay you for the ' samples7 Uncle Sammy asked who lived over near the swamp, was one "of those who began to plan to get Sandy's hoard away from him. , It was the grain that Uncle Sammy wanted. If he had spent in honest work one-half the time he used in planning some trickery he would hive been -much better off. But -he hated' work more than any thing else in the world." ' Uncle Sammy Coon scarcely slept at all for several days, he was so busy thinking about Sandy's grain. And since he always - passed his nights in wandering through the woods, he became almost ill. . The trouble was, Uncle Sammy was far too big to crawj'- inside Sandy's house. And he knew that the only way he could get at the grain was to oersuade somebody to bring it outside tfor him. .At last he thought of a fine scheme. And as soon as it came into his head he hobbled over to Sandy Chipmunk's home. I say hobbled, because Uncle Sammy had a lame knee. He always claimed that he w.is injured' in battle. But almost every one knew that he hurt his knee one time when. Farmer Greeu caught htm stealing a hen. 1 VVhen he . reached the . pasture Uncle Sammy, found Sandy Chip munk just starting aWay to hunt for tints. . "Good morning!" the. old fellow said. He spoke x very pleasantly, though he was so "sleepy that he felt disagreeable enough. ''I've come over to buy something from your store." "My store!" Sandy Chipmunk ex ' claimed. 'Yes!" said Uncle Sammy Coon "I've heard you have a store here with a heap of nuts' and grain to c'l." - - ' Now, it had neveV occurred to Sandy Chipmunk to, sell any of the food he had fathered for the win- HOLDING A Adele Garrison's Revelations Why the Bridegroom Congratulated His Mother.; , "Mother, , dearest," whispered Al fred Durkee, "I am so proud .of you." I caught the words and echoed them in my heart, as I stood behind my little neighbor, waiting for my turn to congratulate Alfred. Little tyrs. Durkee had xome through Jier ordeal with flying colors. Her eyes! and smile w ere bright as those of Leila herself as she kissed her new daughter and passed on to be swept into the impetuous embrace of her i tall son. . ' " ' ' "ot half so proud as I am of my son and my new daughter," she said with the pretty graciousness hich is so charming a characteristic of her when she chooses to exerise it. 1 drey a long breath of relief as heard her response, for 1 knew that once having regained hep poise she " would not lose it again, at least while the wedding festivities were in progress. "Well, Mrs. Madge 1" Alfred-smiled down at me delightedly. ? "I think it is indeed 'well,' Alfred," I 'replied, shaking his hand cordially. "I fancy you don't need my formal congratulations to tell you how de lighted I am, and what a fortunate youth I think you." , . . Dicky'sHandclasp.s . "Aren't you-going to congratulate mci too?" Dicky inquired aggrieved lv,.and there was as intonation in his voice that made tny pulses leap. ; "For any particular reason?" I Squired demurely. V ' Vi ', .finder oretence of shaking hands, Dicky-squeezed my fingures tightly. "If there-weren't so many people " here I'd illustrate and punctuate my 'mranine." he said in a low-tone. " "-As it is, just Consider y6urself kissed." -His eyes held mine with the same Innk that had come into them when the old clergyman had pronounced -itic final words of the wedding cere mony. I gazed back at him for a breathless moment with all my heart in my eyes, then slipped past him sedately as the crowd of relatives and friends bore down ..upon the wedding party with congratula tions and best wishes and kisses. I knew that I was expected to re main near the newly-wedded tonpre. Aunt Dora had decreed that she, Mrs. Curtis, Mother Graham, Maj. Grantland and I were tcvhave sup. per at the same table at which sat Alfred, Lpilv Dicky, EdMh aud Dr. . lim Paizc. -So I steDBfcd into ihe v first yacant nook I could find to wait Ant Dora's pleasure, and groups around Leila and Alfred. As I watched them I was psychically aware of some on gazing at me. Turning, I saw Edith Fairfax star in sf at me tritk an expression, the meaning of which I could not fath- tor. But when Uncle Sammy put the idea fn his head Sandy rather hked it. "I have a fine stock, to be sure," he said. "The nuts are specially gr-od. How many would you like to buy?". But Uncle Sammy Coon told him he didn't want any nuts.' "I never cat them" he said, "It's grain that I want. And I'll buy as much as you care to sell. . . . Bring a sample of it up here lie urgea. "I'd like to see ifc it's as good as people say' So Sandy Chipmunk darted into his house. And soon he appeared again with his check-pouches cram med full of wheat kernels, i "Thcrcl", hu cried, when he had dropped the grain in front of Uncle Sammy. "Just try a little of itl You'll agree with me that it's very fine," ... ... Uncle Sammy not only tried a lit tle, He gobbled up every single kernel. 1 "It scans to me to have a queer taste," I said. "Bring up some moVcl" And Sandy scurried down into his house again, to bob up in a few mo ments with another sample of his grain. Once more Uncle Sammy ate it all. "It's a bit damp," he remarked, as he smacked his lips. "I hope, it's not moldy. . . . You'd better(lct mc see another, sample." Uncle Sammy declared the enxt heap of kernels to be altogether too dry. And he kept ordering Sandy to fqtch more for him to "taste," as he called it. Some of the wheat he considered too ripe, and some too ! green. Some of the kernels so he j said were tqo little, and others too ', i:g. Ana nnany ne even iota oanay Chipmunk that he was afraid Sandy was trying to sell him last year's wheat. . - Now, Sandy knew that his wheat was fresh all of it. So he went down an J brought up still another load. ' ' Uncle Sammy ate that more slow ly, for. by this time he had had a good meal. , ' "How do you like it?" 'Sandy asked him. . 1 "It's fair," Uncle Sammy replied. "But I believe it's next year's wheat. And qf course I wouldn't think of buying that kind. ... I guess I can't trade with you, after all." And he started to hobble away. When Sandy heard that, and saw ih old fellow leaving, he began to scold. ' ' Aren't you going to pay me for what you've catdh?" he asked. "What! Pay you for. the sam ples?" Uncle, Sammy asked". "I guess, young man, you don't know much about keeping a store, i No body ever pays for samples.' And he went away muttering to himself. Sandy Chipmunk felt very sad. Uncle Sammy had eaten half, his winter's supply of wheat. Sandy was angry, too. And for several days he was busier than ever, tryiijg to think of some way in which he could make Uncle Sammy Coon pav him. Copyright, Grosset & -Dunlap. T HUSBAND New Phje of ... of a Wife om, althougl; I recognized distinct pain in her eyes. What Edith Permitted. She heard Dicky, and his tribute to me had wounded her I For a mo ment, as our eyes clashed and held, I felt fiercely resentful that anything my husband could say to me would matter to her. f Then with a little J exultant breath 1 turned my eyes and my thoughts away from her. What she thought or did mattered as little 't,6 me as did the fact that Dicky by virtue of his position as best man would be obligecf to spend the evening beside her. I had ex perienced one of the rare moments that comes to a woman whq loves her husband, and I delied fate to touch me. The rest of the evening was like a- dream to me. I chatted v and laughed, and ate the delicious viands Aunt Dora' old cook had provided, and..duly applauded when Leila, as she went upstairs to change i her gown, threw her bouquet to' the- laughing group of girls crowded around the staircase I was sure thit Leila had aimed it so that it would fall in her sister's hands but Jbdith permitted a younger girl, a merry tomboy, to forestall her. I saw her do it, and guessed that she would not let even the superstition of a speedy marriage into her lifef But I had far plcasanter things to meditate upon thanEdith's reasons tor missing the wedding bouquet, which, according to' the old supersti tion, would bring her a; husbaud within a year. For Dicky, instead of playing the devoted admirer, as I had feared, was giving only themost perfunctory attention to Edith. lie apparently had deliberately stepped aside to give Dr. Jim Faige a chance to talk to her, and Dr. Jim was mak ing the most of the opportunity af forded him. , Little Mrs. Durkee, Mother Gra ham and Aunt Dora, seated together, had two devoted cavaliers- in Dicky and Major Grantland. One Would have thought that they were girls of 20, so insiduous .were the two men in their attentions. And I, though for the first time in many moons, found myself a decided wallflower1, yet I was happier than I had been for months past. But. thoueh I understood and loved Dicky for his extravagtnt de votion to the elderly' women, yet I could not help wondering just what impelled Hugh Grantland's auction.

This is the time to .fcuy. ' y - Already the children are counting up the number of days to Christmas. As time flies," there are not so very many days intervening, either. Everything combines to make this the buying sea son. Prices are lower in almost every line. In some cases they have hit rock bottom, and in others goods are being sold actually below the cost of production and may be expected to rise. Tire country has entered an era when prices that ruled during the war times have been dethroned gone to join the monarchs and auto crats In exile. v ...... i . ' The widespread belief that "prices have just be gun to fall" was responsible to a large degree for the nation-wide disinclination to purchase, in the judg ment of most commercial experts. It is pointed out that Americans, whether operating on the stock market or purchasing everyday articles of trade, are prone to hold on to their money until prices begin to go up. Once a rise sets in, so many purchasers appear, just falling over each other to buy before the price goes higher, that they force the market to new heights. We are a nation prone to extremes. A year ago drunken sailors never spent their money so fast as did the public. People were buying in greater quantities than they needed, sometimes out of extravagance', and at others oit of the belief, that prices would go higher. Whatever the motive, this unbridled spending kept prices on the ascent. . ' . ., Now that the people have planted their feet firmly on earth again, the time has come to buy; Not for one of those abnormal orgies of spending of a year ago, but an honest-to-goodness, hardheaded, sensible buying season.' f ' . i 1 ,' That is good business on the part of the consumers. As a result Omaha stores are reporting sales above nor mal fpr this time of year. In the' last few weeks there has been a decided increase in many lines of retail busi ness. No substantial merchant likes to see people buying more than they ought, or more than they can pay for promptly. I Reckless spending and flighty business are 'making their exit together, and the readjustment to new conditions is being accomplisied in efficient fashion as things become' more stable. The1 most substantial busi ness a man could want is one in which his customers buy sensibly. , ; - Once lifeis adjusted to the new levels, wejill have made the turn which leads to solid prosperity. Renewed and careful buying will mean that those eastern fac tories which have closed down or are running on part time will start again full blast. That means more em ployment, which in turn assures new buying power for the products the west has to sell.. . ' This is the tirnto buy. Here are the thoughtful words of financi&l observers as .recorded in the' latest bulletin of,the National City Bank of New" York: "The markets have been in the seller's favor . for a long time, but the buyer has regained the " position of advantage. Sellers are again competing for his favor and on the whole it is a more health ful situation when the buyer has a choice. All sorts - of wasteful practices have developed and been tol erated because the cost could be passed on to the buyer and consumer. They wilfbe searched out and eliminated. Nobody is as keens after econo- mies'as the man who must develop them to save himself from loss, j , Theoretical complaints are made to the effect that goods pass through too many hands between the producer anefconsumer, and that there are too many parasites upon indus try. These complaints for the most part are. made without. intimate knowledge of the complicated modern business organization, but such parasites , flourish in the boom periods and are hunted out as ' profits disappear." j The buyer truly now has his turn. Prices are much lower than they have been for a long time. An actual shortage of essentials exists in many homes where the members have been waiting foi the advent of low prices. Well, the low prices have come, and there is no time like the present to take advantage of them. W. H. AHM W. U Wilcox, V. Pres. W. A. Smith. V. Pres. Tyler 518S T7 11 k Omaha.
