THEg LIVE ON FIFTg eEMT3(- A WEEK
How Two Pretty Stenographers Are "Winning the Battle of Life.
Special correspondence of Cincinnati Enquirer.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 28. For an amount
equal to that expended by the St.
Louis business man at his noonday
luncheon, or less than the sum used for
car fare by the average laborer In mak
ing his weekly rounds, two pretty young,
women stenographers of the World's Fair
City survive from, one Saturday night to
the next.
They are not doing this out of dire
necessity, but when they found that $1
would pay for the food that both of them
would need in a whole week they took
advantage of the economy, and are now
putting away a neat sum of money in a.
savings bank. Both of the girls dress
handsomely upon a salary of JIB per week
each, and move In good social circles.
They have numerous young friends in
the down-town office buildings, who In
sist upon taking them to luncheon and
dinners quite often, and have been as
tounded at the girls' persistent refusals.
The real reason developed recently when
one of the girls revealed th fact that
they were living upon 50 cents each per
week, and that to eat food cooked in a
restaurant was too highly seasoned for
their stomachs and made them ill. They
claim that the food they are eating makes
them much healthier, and they would not
change their scanty diet for that offered
by the best boarding-house in the city.
Their Story Confirmed.
These girls are Miss Mabel Dare and
Miss Alice Conner, and they are at home
In a nicely furnished room at 4446 Delmar
avenue. They have been living, .accord
ing to their own estimate, and that of
their landlady, who has confirmed the
girls' story, at the rate of 52.10 each per
Week for the past two months. They
have spent an average of 51 for food,
which supplies the two members of ftils
little Bohemian family, while the re
mainder was expended for room rent and
car fare.
The most remarkable feature on the
part of the girls' living Is that they have
been actually thriving and each of them
has gained in weight during that time.
They are in splendid health, and havo
never missed an hour at the desk. Their
employer says they have given as com
HOBOS GOT
Boston Herald. Nov. 27.
The most remarkable turkey carved
yesterday was an evanescent fowl men
tally dissected by GO or more gentlemen
of perennial leisure who frequent the
water front, and who were invited to a
grand feast made possible by the gener
osity of numerous business men, and by
the kindness of a lodging-house keeper
on Commercial street.
Developments revealed that the "hobos"
are indebted for their feast, not to the
merchants nor to the landlady, but to
the goodfellowship of one Frank Curtis,
at one time a printer, at present not
burdened with pressing business cares,
but with the promptings of an active
imagination.
Commissioned with an Invitation, a
Herald reporter made his way to the
festive board to be one of a gathering
of tramps from all over the world. The
invitation as printed in the newspapers
read: -
"A new venture, a Thanksgiving din
ner .for hobos, is to be given at 'Mother'
Smith's lodging-house, 220 Commercial
street, and the cosmopolitan crowd, led
by Frank Curtis, erstwhile a newspaper
man and now a 'hobo from anywhere.
will have more happiness to the square
minute -than ever before In their lives."
No. 220 Commercial street proved to be
a macaroni factory with locked doors.

Miss Dare weighs 128 pounds, is five feet

Told by Miss Dare.
Miss Dare, who originated the plan, has
this to say about it:
"I "believe that every girl living in the
city, who is beset with evil temptations
caused by high living expenses, should
follow the plans that my friend and I
have carried out to success. There is no
use in paying the excessive prices charged
by the boarding-houses, and every
healthy young woman with a girl friend
can establish herself in a neat room and
live much cheaper. We Invested 55 in
cooking utensils, which we can easily
stow under the bed when not in use.
These utensils consist of an oil stove, &
few vessels in which to cook the food
and a few plates and table dishes. We
eat from the small improvished table
made from a typewriting desk. Our food
we. cook ourselves. We take plenty of
exercise on the punching bag each even
ing before retiring, and a long walk in
reaching the cars every morning. The
food we eat is not selected with any view
to its wholesomeness, although we have
since been told that outmeal Is a very
strengthening diet. Wo eat a great deal
of this product Once in a while we go
out to a lunch stand and take a hot meal,
but as a rule we do not care for it One
evening recently I was invited by a young
man to visit one of the best cafes In the
city, and would you believe it, I did not
care at all for the highly seasoned food
that was set before me. I have got out
of the habit of eating heavy meals, in
fact, I hat-e not for several years thus
Indulged myself. I havo always taken
Just as little vlctuals.as I could get along
with."
What Physicians Say.
Prominent physicians interviewed on
this subject were nonplused as to the
statement of the young women. One said
NO DINNE'R
All along the street, however, were co
teries of men apparently eligible, fo
the "feed," so the reporter supposed
that the superfluity of good viands had
delayed V the dinner from starting
promptly at 2 P. M., and that the doors
were locked to keep out the expectant
throng. Inquiry among the coteries sent
the reporter to 242 Commercial street, a
few doors away.
Up the dark stairs of the lodging-houso
tripped the reporter and opened a door.
As the door opened a deafening clamor
from a bell overhead officially announced
a caller, and at the din a woman's head
popped over a counter arrangement that
divides the hall from a small kitchen.
"Is Mr. Curtis here?" asked the re
porter deferentially, as the woman stood
In a position at bay, holding a butcher
knife with which she had been dismem
bering a turkey.
At the word Curtis the woman flew
Into an incomprehensible passion. For
tunately the partition window through
which the conversation was directed re
moved the immediate danger of the
flourishing knife. As the woman's con

minute, "the now terrified, reporter
grasped the expression:

LISTEN TO OLDEN TALES.
Miss Hasslsr Tells Children the Story
.of the Iliad.
Yesterday afternoon the weekly story
hour for the little ones in the children's
room of the public library was occupied
by a continuation of the story of the Iliad.
Miss Hassler, the children's librarian,
who keeps the children so Intensely in
terested in these Greek characters? took
up tho thread of the story at the battle
of the wall between the Trojans and the
Greeks. The small boys' eyes got as large
as saucers as they listened to the tale
of the efforts of the Greeks to storm
the gates of Troy, but the main Interest
seemed to center in tho wonderful horses
of Achilles. Horses that could live so
long and yet be young, were wonderful
to them, and their color of burnished gold
and the fact that they could talk like
men seemed to be tho food the vivid
imaginations of these children demanded.
The great god Zeus, King Agamemnon,
DIomed, Hector, Ulysses, AJax, Eurypy
lus, Patroclus-all aro familiar charac
ters with these up-to-date little readers,
and they can tell you stories in their
own way of Nestor, son of Neieus, who
outlived three generations of mortal men,
Thetis, the sea nymph, who was the
mother of Achilles, and of the great god
Apollo.
Next Friday Miss Hassler will take up
the rousing of Achilles and continue It
to the battle of tho gods. After this
about two more stories will finish the
Iliad, and then the Odyssey will be told
In these delightful simple stories. Many
of the parents avail themselves of this
pleasant hour by coming with the chil
dren and helping them select their books.
Visitors are always made welcome, and
all children are urged to patronize this
Drancn or tne library.
In Christmas week It is the librarian's
intention to have a story hour every
evening from Monday until Thursday,
which will be- Christmas eve. Of course
these stories will be devoted entirely to
Christmas, and the children will learn
how the boys and girls of all other lands
celebrate the birth of Christ The rooms
will be prettily decorated during the
week, and a nice lot of new books, the
list of which will be printed tomorrow,
will be ready for the children to take
home, and have to read during Christ
mas week.
Miss Hassler .has been asked to enter
tain the children of Trinity Episcopal
Church on Christmas eve, when they will
have a Christmas tree at the church,
with some of her delightful stories. She
has accepted and the children are look
ing forward to her Christmas stories as
eagerly as they are to the tree.
Two thousand, four hundred and thirty
five children are now registered in this
branch of the library, and all are regu
lar readers, which speaks well for the
future of the youth of Portland.
Bryan Appeals Will Case.
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Dec. 4. Counsel
for William J. Bryan, executor of the will
of the late Philo S. Bennett, filed an ap
peal .in the Superior Court today from the
decision of Probate Judge Cleaveland by
which the sealed letter giving $50,000 to
Mr. Bryan and his family was excluded
from probate. It will come up for a
hearing at the January term of yie Su
perior Court, together with the appeal "al
ready filed by counsel for Mrs. Bennett,
the- widow. The latter appeal is from the
decision of Judge Cleaveland, admitting

that he believed the feat of these young
women was a remarkable one, inasmuch
as the food selected was far from being
first-class.
"m noRsthln that thM vnunir women
can survive on the alleged diet, but how
hiv ran increase In flesh is a mvsterv
not to be solved by me." continued he.
Should they abandon the punching bag
and long walks and continue eating their
present foodstuff, it will be only a mat
ter of a short time until they diminish
in flesh and become delicate, and should
they continue, regardless of sickness, I
predict their speedy departure to the
world beyond."
After being told what the physician
had said Miss Conner, who is a buxom
young woman, scouted the assertion that
the diet was liable to undermine their
health.
"We have never been hungry In all
these two months," she said, "and when
we ate of our scanty fare we were filled
to the point of satisfaction of the hearty
diner at Delmonlco's. We do not believe
thero are any harmful ingredients in all
the food we use. One thing sure, the
fruit we eat is sent us from home, and
for that reason I know it is good. The
apples contribute largely to our meals.
"We also buy our syrup in the country-:
that is, It is shipped to us by our folks."
The menu for the day is as follows: i
For breakfast, rolled oats, sugar, bread
and water. Luncheon, bread and syrup, I
cake and fruit. Dinner, sauer kraut, !
sausage, bread and syrup. This fare Is '
practically the same each day, with a I
variation of corn, tomatoes and stewed
apples on the menu card, one of these
feeing chosen each day. On Sunday their
'menu is even scantier than during the
week days, there being no mid-day meal.
For breakfast they have potato soup,
bread and water. For dinner there is
more potato soup, bread, beans, corn and
potatoes. Neither of the girls drinks cof
fee or stimulants of any kind. The sup
plies for the week aro usually bought on
a Saturday evening. They are. oats, 10
cents; sugar, 5 cents; bread, 25 cents;
kraut, 10 cents; sausage, 5 cents; potatoes
and onions, 5 cents; one square choco

TALK OF STEAMBOAT RACE
BAILEY GATZERT CHALLENGED
BY CHARLES R. SPENCER.
Owner of Latter Is Willing to Run
Them, Boat for Boat, or on '
Other Conditions.
Rlvermen are greatly interested in a
proposed race between the sternwheel
steamers Bailey Gatzert and Charles R.
Spencer, the owners of which have been
engaged in a stubborn rate war on the
Upper Columbia for several months past.
There is some doubt whether ornot the
race will come off, but the challenge has
gone forth.
The matter originated in a statement
made by General Manager H. C. Campbell,
of the Regulator line, to some club friends
that he would like to have a race to
prove that the Gatzert is a faster boat
than the Spencer. Fred C. Ballln, the
naval architect was present, and asked
Mr. Campbell if he would like the matter
laid before Captain E. W. Spencer, of the
opposition line. Mr. Campbell assented
and Mr. Ballln carried the news to tho
Oak-street dock.
Captain Spencer did not hesitate a min
ute in accepting the offer. It is what, he
has heen waiting for for months, ho said.
In order that there might be no mistake,
he laid down his propositions in writing
in the form of a letter, which Mr. Ballln
carried back to Manager Campbell. Cap
tain Spencer's propositions were to this
effect:
"I will race the Charles R. Spencer
against the Bailey Gatzert from Portland
to The Dalles, boat lor boat, each to carry
uie amount or steam allowed it; or I will
race the Charles R. Spencer against the
Bailey Gatzert, tho loser to withdraw
from the route. To make the matter
more interesting I will bet $10,000 to $2000
that the Spencer is the faster boat."
To show that he meant what he Bald
and to make it binding, the captain put
up $100 In Mr. Ballln's hands. When seen
last evening, Captain Spencer said he had
not heard further from the Regulator
official.
Mr. Campbell was asked If he had ac
cepted Captain Spencer's offer, and re
plied: "I am considering it The whole thing
Is only a difference of opinion between
Captain Spencer and myself. He thinks
the Spencer Is the faster boat, I tjiink
the Gatzert Is. As for the general public,
that is, the portion of it that travels be
tween Portland and The Dalles, they are
certainly satisfied with our boat as it
lands them at their destination two hours
before the other one. The Gatzert came
in today at 2:15, the Spencer at 4:20. It's
the same every day. Would we get all
the passenger traffic, as we do, if our boat
were slow? I guess not."
OVERHAULING THE COLUMBIA.
Oil-Burning Apparatus May Be Put
In the Steamer, x
The steamer Oregon, chartered by the
O. R. & N. Co. to run on the Portland
San Francisco route, will be here early In
January. The Columbia will then ' be
taken oft for an extensive overhauling.
Her boilers are to be thoroughly repaired
and new furnaces put in. It Is possible
the company will decide to convert her
Into an oil-burner. If this decision Is ar
rived at, it will mean a total outlay of
between $30,000 and $40,000. which will put
the steamer In strictly first-class shape.
It has not been decided yet. whether the
work will bo done here or at San Fran
cisco, but it is probable that it will be
done here. If this is the case, and the

Game Laws Violated Constantly.
An Eastern man, who has been sojourn
ing in Portland for some time, was In
quiring for venison in several markets
yesterday, and appeared much disgusted
when told that the killing or selling of
deer was prohibited by law at this season.
He said it might be in Portland, but he
had been cruising for some .time along
the foothills of the Cascades with parties
who were looking for locations to settle

I but had some Irlends staying with him

made up the list of flesh meats obtainable.
An old-time sportsman, when asked about
the venison supply, said the mountains
all through the state are alive with deer.
In Southern Oregon a short time ago
hunting deer for their skins went on until
tne deer were nearly exterminated. Then
the Legislature flew to the other extreme
and protected the deer till the mountains
were restocked, and now they allow some
to be killed between July and November,
but the sale of venison Is prohibited at all
times. "The game laws," he said, "ought
to De maae as UDerai as possible, so as to
give everybody a, chance to get a fair
share of game, and then they ought to be
strictly enforced. As it is. It appears as
If the game Iaw3 always go to an extreme
one way or the other, and they are vlo-

were made to be broken, It appears to
be a fact that, while the people of cities
and towns cannot get a dish of venison
at any time, people living near deer
ranges havo it nearly all the time.'
HELL TALKS OF LOW RATES.
Steel Exports to Orient Not Nearly So
Important as Those of Flour
ST. PAUL, Dec. 4. President J. J. Hill,
when asked today concerning the report
that tne Great xsorthern had a special '
low rate on steel rails from Chicago to
the Orient, In order to help out American
constructors in China, who are hard
pressed, said:
"We are carrying steel rails to China
on the same, rate today that has been In
force several years. But there is a very
Interesting phase of trade right here
under our noses that people do not seem
to have noticed, and that Is the volume
of flour going from Minneapolis to Aus
tralia and China. It would surprise the
public to know that the Minneapolis
millers have to go way down Into Indian
Territory In order to get enough wheat
to grind. The Northwestern grain is not'
sufficient for the demand. I received a
letter from one of the leading Minneapo
lis millers today, telling me of a single
order he had received from the Orient.
It would surprise you if I should name
the size of. that order, but I am not at'
liberty to do so.
"We are today hauling flour 2400 miles
by rail and 6500 miles by water for 15 or
20 cents more than it costs to haul Min
neapolis flour 900 miles to the Atlantic
seaboard. And all this "is In restraint
of trade." '

DR. F. L. TALCOTT
Dr. F. I. TALCOTT, leading specialist.
Is the most widely known and popular
specialist on the Pacific Coast. His writ
ings on Disorders of the Male have been
freely quoted, and by his efforts diseases
of men which In former years were
.vaguely. If at all, understood, and even
shunned by medical men, are now dis
cussed on scientific and practical ground.
Where heretofore treatment was largely
.haphazard and empirical, and as a rule
without benefit to the patient, today It
is entered upon a scientific and satisfac
tory basis.
TERMS.
It Is but natural that a man should be
Bkeptlcal of a physician who demands his
fee In advance. "Wo feel that we show
our sincerity and ability by our policy of
Not Asking for a Dollar Until Cure Is
effected.
"We will certainly not waste our own or
our jSatlents time on Incurable cases.
"We ore tho only specialists In the West
making this offer, and It Is not limited
In time nor conditional in character. We
mean it emphatically.
"Wealmcss."
Affections of men commonly described
as "weakness," according to our observa
tions, ore not such, but depend upon
reflex disturbances, and aro almost In
variably Induced or maintained by ap
preciable damage to the Prostate Gland.
Ah this may not be perceived by tho pa
tient, it Is very frequently overlooked by
tho physician. -
Contracted Disorders. .
From statistics -compiled, from our
practice covering over 6500 cases 90 per
cent have recovered In seven daysor less,
many of these cases being those who
had been treated by others for much
longer periods without any apparent de
crease of tho dlsordor.
Contagious Blood Diseases.
By our method no time Is lost, no
chango In diet or habits Is necessary,
permanent cures being made In a short
time, with but little expense to the pa
tient. Our method Is the result of over
ten years' careful and patient study, and
our success has been most gratifying.
