A Traveling Man's Experience.
'I must tell you my experience on
an Eastbound O. R. t N. R. R. train
from Pendleton to La Grande, Ore ,
writes Sam A, Garber, a well known.
traveling man. "I was In the smok
ing department with some other
traveling men when one of them
went out Into the coach and came
back and said, 'There la a woman
sick unto death in the car. I at once
got up and went out, found her very
ill with cramp colic; her hands and
arms were darwn up so you couM
not straighten them, and with a
deathlike look on her face. Two or
three ladies were working with her
and giving her whiskey. I went to
my suit case and got my bottle of
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy (I never travel
without It), ran to the water tank,
put a double dose of the medicine in
the glass, poured some water into It
and stirred It with a pencil; then I
had quite a time to get the ladies to
let me give It to her, but I succeeded.
I could at once see the effect and I
worked with her, rubbing her hands,
and In twenty minutes I gave her an
other dose. By this time we were
almost into La Grande, where I was
to leave the train. I gave the bottle
to the husband to be used In case
another dose should be needed, but
by the time the train ran Into La
Grande she was alright, and I re
ceived the thanks of every passen
ger tn the car." For sale by Chas.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug. 31. The
national convention of colored Elks
will open In the St. Paul auditorium
tomorrow. In connection with' the
arrival of the colored delegates signs
reading "H. and R. association" to
day became conspicuous in the win
dows and doors of many of the lead
ing restaurants and hotels.
Inquiry at the headquarters of the
local lodge developed the Informa
tion that an agreement was entered
Into some time ago by the Hotel and
Restaurant-Keepers' association and
the lodge, whereby the association
agreed to pay for the use of the 8t.

Following the Presidential Po.
masters' association'a first annual
session Oregon wives, suspicious of
their hubbys, can't get a hitherto at-
commud'iting postmaster to deliver
reglste.-cil letter to them, no matter
how they may cajole, entreat or
threaten. No, slree! Postmasters
now judt-rstand tbsl their duty ri
entirely with the sender of the let
ter and that obligation must be fil'.id

the new burden R B. Mundelle ol
Indiana, who represents the bureau
of the third assistant postmaster-
genera!, added t.i the already over
loaded shoulders of the postmasters
and postmistresses
He Admitted thit a refusal to de

course, the postmaster must bear bis

and that Individual's signature of ac
ceptance in his possession to relieve
him from any blame. Now, he must
drive up the muddy lane, look pleas
ant and deliver the registered litter
as stated
Mr. Mundelle admitted that the
troubles confided to a policeman
were Infinitesimal compared to whet
reaches the poor, tired postmaster's
brain through the receptacles on each
side of his head.
Country telephoning waa also gi-
en a whack, Mr. Munaene siai-n
that every one knew that aa soon as
the receiver was taken down at one
place all others on the same line Im
mediately clicked and a neighborly
spirit ef knowing all about other i.eo-
nle's business was thus given sway
by thla representative of the bure-e
at Washington.
For the reason that all receivers
have a knack of coming down at once
or shoitly after, telephoning of In
structions about delivering resls
tered letters Is a poor practice, anil
leaves all the risk -tth the postmaster
He dfdn't even give the youthful
lovrrr. a chance, but deciarea ir-ai
cl lldren under age living with their
parents had to have the signature or
pernrr.al approval of one parent be
fore he she could secure '.he cov

prove obdnrste, the letter must

Fold t ing this talk, which was
teer.lnr with Information, questions
Riilwre were hurled at him, and to
eah and every one a pleasant and
iKTtor.tle clear answer was given.
Even the poor postmaster from
Mount Angel who got such a calling
down about the letter to an ex-pres-
Ident'f rife, was there, and bobbed
up wllh Int-tances galore which were
mostly improbable, if not Imposslin.i.
Several were worried because the
Inspectors always told them they
couldn't do certain things "acco-1-Ing

and yet these same twisty Inspectors
