Item in which it appears that I have
been sued by Bonnie Bros., on an old
note. This Is ' true, but I think it is
evident the suit was brought if or polit
ical effect more than for an actual re
covery of the money, as will be appar
ent when an examination of the rec
ords is made.
The fact Is that the parties holding
this note were given ample security for
Its payment and no effort to avoid its
payment has ever been made.
Tbe whole thing is raked up at this
particular time by enemies who desire
to injure me politically for there has
never been any doubt that the note
would be paid. L. P. W. QUIMBY.

Least Demonstrative of Three Pro
posals of Marriage Received
Recently Is Published.
MEDFORD, Or., May 15. (Special.)
Jasper N. Miller, the 72-year-old
student at the Medford., Business Col
lege, who refuses to grow old, has
found that his philosophy of life meets
not only with approval, but. in three
cases at least, with a more tender emo.
tlon.
Since his portrait and life story ap
peared in The Oregonian he has been
the recipient of an average of five let
ters daily and three of them have been
proposals of marriage. Mr. Miller re
fuses to make their names public, al
though he admits two of the matri
monially inclined live. In Portland and
are well over 60.
He has consented to make the least
demonstrative epistle public. It is as
follows:
I have Just read the lnolosed about you.
I congratulate you on your ability to keep
young. Tour mode of living I adopted years
ago, only, being a woman, I don't tell my
age I am as active on my feet as I was
at 80. I am a widow with the ability that
1... mad me IndeDendent financially. 1
find life '.onelv living alone, but I ask noth
ing of any man but companionship. If agree
able to you I would like to meet you aiiu
become acquainted. If you come to Portland
for the Rose Festival, call on me.
"When I was 62 I received an offer
of marriage from a wealthy widw who
said she would take care of me the rest
of my life," said Mr. Miller, "but I
lauirhted at the idea. I scarcely knew
her. . A young fellow married her
later and then deserted her, leaving her
a 'pauper. No, I don't want to get
married. That side of my life was put
awav nearly 60 years ago, when my
wife died. I could be happy with no
other woman. Old men may do a great
manv foolish things, but I consider my
self 72 years young and beyond the
foolish staee. I shall answer these
letters, however, and hope to increase
mv circle of friends. I don't intend to

the abdominal wall, as commonly sup
posed, but is the stretching or dilat
ing of a natural opening, therefore
subject to closure, said F. H. Seeley,
on a late visit to Portland.
"The Spermatic Shield Truss closes
the opening in ten days on the aver
age case,, producing results without
surgery or harmful injections." Mr.
Seeley has documents from the Gov
ernment, Washington, D. C, for in
spection." Anyone interested 'will be
shown the'truss or fitted if desired.
