Eleventh street. He was 78 years
old. and had been a resident of this
city since boynood, hla principal
business interests being In the Fail-lng-McCalman
company, the oldest
hardware concern on the Pacific
coast.
Following: an operation last Decem

to grow serious.
Funeral services will be held this

Baptist church, Dr. O. C. Wright offi
ciating. Interment will be made in

Nen York Birthplace.
Mr. Failing was born In New Tork
City, March 24. 1842. In 1853 he came
to Oregon with his mother on the
clipper ship Hurricane around Cape
Horn. In Portland he joined his
father. Joslah Failing, who had come
here in 1851 and established a general
mercantile store known as J. Failing
& Co. Here he worked as a clerk.
The store was located on the site
now occupied by the George Lawrence
'company at First and Oak streets.
He later became the head of the
business, taking ah active part in its
management until 1900, when he re
tired, leaving his three sons, Edward
J., John C. and Frederick E.. in the
firm. He remained president of the
company until his death.
He was educated at Portland
academy, known then as the Port
land academy and female seminary.
In 18S0 he married Miss Jane Conner,
a member of another prominent pio
neer family of Albany, Or. Besides
his widow and three sons, there are
two daughters, Henrietta and Kate,
who survive him, and three grand-fl
children, Jean, Mary and James F.
Failing, Jr., children of Edward J.
Failing. Miss Kate Failing is at
present in Ongole, Gunter district,
South India, where she is engaged in
Baptist missionary work. This prob
ably will prevent her returning home
for four or five years.

Truth Rewards Tellers in
Police Court.
Apontli-s of Georare ManhinKtoo
Kind Itoad to Freedom Kaay.
TRUTHFULNESS Is a habit whiqh
some people never acquire. And
taking the police court habitues as
they pass before the bar of Justice
day after dny, there can be found
but a small percentage who are will
ing to emulate the boy, George
Washington, who, according to his
tory, confessed that he and his hatchet
had made it Impossible for the Wash
ington household to enjoy cherry pies.
But now and then, there appears
the exception. And upon sui-h rare
occasions Judge ltossman Is so over
joyed at finding a prisoner who is
willinir to tell the truth that his con
science compels him toward extreme
leniency.
For instance, George Evans, in spite
of other shortcomings, told the truth
when he appeared in court charged
with visiting a Chinese lottery. And
his honesty and truthfulness bought
him a first-class ticket on the road
to freedom.
But Frank Oliver, John Deppler and
Jim Tillman Just couldn't tell the
truth. They hail been arrested with
Kvans in tlie lottery den of Ah Chin.
"This Chink's a friend of ours, and
we just went down to visit him," de
clared the trio with an air of injured
innocence.
"I went there to buy lottery tickets
and they were doing the same thing,"
confessed Evans.
"You three fellows will serve three
days eaili in jail." ordered the court,
indicating Oliver. Deppler and Till
man. "And I am going to let you go.
Evans. It's so seldom I get the whole
truth down here that I feel like of-
Railroad Man Gives Good
Advice
"Several years ago I was under
treatment of a stomach specialist for
five months, three weeks of which
w ere spent in a hosjtal. Another
stomach specialist told me I had gall
stones and that an operation was
necessary. I did not want to have
tnis. I lost 45 pounds in weight. Talk
ing with a brakeman one day he told
me of Mayrs Wonderful Remedy and
since taking it I have gained 16
pounds and am feeling fine. I am
advising others to try it. It Is a
simple, harmless preparation that re
moves the catarrhal mucus from the
intestinal tract and allays the inflam
mation which causes practically all
stomach, liver and intestinal ailments.
Including appendicitis. One dose will
convince or money refunded. At all
feringr a reward,
fine of 20."

If
Joe Gallagher also told the truth
and it bought him happiness and lib
erty. It was seven months ago that
Joe made his last appearance in police
court. He had been a frequent of
fender and was almost considered an
habitual drunk. On this last trip
Judge Rossman had given him a sound
lecture and Joe had pledged his word
to quit drinking.
But yesterday Joe came back. He
had been paralyzed drunk the night
before.
"If it handn't been for my neuralgia
I never would have tasted liquor
again," he told Judge Rossman. "I
was driven almost crazy with the
neuralgia pain and started to drink
liquor as the only way to get relief."
Judge Rossman Investigated his
plea and learned that he had been
having his teeth treated during the
few days he had been in from the

woods. A bad case of neuralgia had
existed, Joe's physician told the court,
and Joe once more found himself out
of Jail.
"I mean to stick by my promise to
quit drinking," he said as he departed.
"I just want to prove I am a man of
my word."
A different variety of truthfulness
came from the lips of Tom Maloney,
an old offender who makes periodic
visits as a result of hair oil and
moonshine.
"I won't promise to quit drinking
but I'll promise to try my damnedest,"
he said as the court room laughed.
"Well, can't you promise to leave
it alone?" parried the court.
"No, I don't want to make a promise
that I might break, but I'll do my
best."
The pledge, uttered with such
vehemence, was good enough for the
court, and Tom was allowed to go his
way.
Iva Freed has been in Jail and the
police court so often that it seems al
most like home to her. Iva had gone
to a "lady barber shop" down in the
north end where her sister was em
ployed, and thrown a rock through
the window just to show her contempt
for the proprietress. Then she walked
into the police station and gave her
self up. The police charged her with
being drunk, but there was no one
to prove it. After she promised to
pay for the window she was given her
liberty.

KIWANIS HEAR DEBATE
Divided Session Amendment Is
Threshed Out at Xoon Luncheon.
Passage ' of the divided cession
amendment at the coming election
would result in less confusion during
the closing days of the legislature
and give the lawmakers a chance to
think over each bill before making a
final decision, according to John A.
Laing of the Portland Gas & Coke
company, in a debate with C. C.
Chapman of the Oregon Voter at the
meeting of the Kiwanis club at the
Benson hotel yesterday noon.
Mr. Chapman declared that the di
vided session of the legislature had
proven a failure in California.
A telegram from nine members of
the club, who are on the Eastern Ore
gon trade excursion, was read and
told of an enjoyable trip. The tele
pram was signed by E. R. Wiggins,
W. H. Wahl, S. B. Vincent. D. Levine,
George A. Lovejoy, Lester M. Leland,
Henry W. Hughes, A. V. Wells and
W. C. Culbertson. Harold Jungck
led in singing Kiwanis songs.

or violent exercise, and have the added
advantage of cheapness. One little tablet

ant to eat as candy win reduce your
weight two, three or four poucdf a week,
and leave no bad results such as wrinkles
or flabby skin. A good size box is sold
by druggist at the reasonable price of one
collar, or it preferable they may be ob
tained by sending the amount to the
Aiarraola Co.. S4 Garfield Building,
Detroit, Mich. They will reach you by
mail, prepaid, in plain, sealed cover.
Now that yon know this yon have no ex
cuse for being too fat. but can reduce two.
