' 4 4 4 4444444444444444 Onle Read, the author of SO books, ar rived at the Hotel Portland this morn- , lnY He is on his way to McMInnvIlle ' where he lectures tkI evening-. ' Sir. Read came from Seattle. Five Vears have reused since ha has been In Portland. At present be U at work on , another book and he carries a small 11- brary with Mm and is enablnd to sur round himself with the works of old masters so as to feel more at home. Mr. Road Is rnther tall, of medium build, smooth shaven and lias rather long gray lialr. He has strong features end his profile somewhat resembles that of William J. Kryan. He also looks a little like the pictures of Thomas A. Jidison. The writer is 54 years of ago. Writes on Wall Street. ' Every time Mr. Read says something ' Jt is worth remembering. Kvftry sen- . tence has some moaning worth consid ering. At times he is eplKrammatloal. When' talking he doesn't hesitate In the least and knows yint what he wants to nay and how to say it. Mr. Read's thoughts re not forced. And they are natural. Usually, Mr. Read says just whst he thinks. , j':, hi wrote a serins of articles on Wall street for the New York World some time fiKO.'l Mr, Head said this morning, 'but I can't ltnap"why they- ever se lected me for ttie task I know less bout Wall street than any other man the country. I guess that's why they exked me to do It. But come to think of it, no ono knows much about Wall street." . Everything that tho author says has a tooint significant point to it. And i 11 when he gets off a Joke he doesn't laugh not does he waif for the listener to comprehend or laugh. He Just keeps oil talking In his modest way and saylny bright things Just as If he hadn't sulci anything worth hearing. Couldn't Defeat Booseyelt. "I think Bryan will be nominated," Mr. Read said speaking pf presidential candidates, "and I believe that he can defeat any of them but Roosevelt. If Roosevelt Is unanimously chosen at the Chicago convention I believe that he will make the race. Three months aifO It was different. Rut ulnce the cur rency famine, the talk of war and the railroad Questions conditions have tak! another aspect. 1 believe that If the convention delegate insist on his nom ination that he will accent so as to be able to carrv out his plans which have been brought Into effect under his administration. But speaking about politics reminds me that I ant not much of a politician, tha author continued. "Politics Is as In sincere as a flcklo woman's kiss. Talk to a politician and you simply get his opinions. One s opinions are not aiwayr his true thoughts. 1 don't care for a man's opinion. 1 want his impulsea Then I see him as he really Is," Mr. Read thinks that the rerorra movements that Is some pf them have done great pood In the world. Par ticularly the temperance question Which Is now being uclvocated so forcefully In the south. "1 have noticed that a wavo of reform sweeps over the country every few VHri " Yin aM "An.-l thpn thA tries Ifl forgotten, you miijlit say, for a time. at least. Thcro has always been re form going on and It will always con tinue. Reform began when the world had its first love affair." War With Japan Certain. Mr. Rend thinks that the sending of the fleet of warships from the Atlantic ocean to the Pacific was one of the greatest things Mr. Roosevelt ever did. "War with Japan is sure to cone," he said, "although it may be some years yet I am in favor of a largo and well- malntalned navy. Plenty of warships and a fjteat navy are cheaper than war. The only way mat war win ever oe averted is to brine about naval supremacy." Mr. iteaa writes -wnenever ne xeeis like it Borne days he will write all dav and at other times he won't write a line. 'The mind Is a whim and it has to be humored," be said with reference to writing. "The human brain reminds me of a telegraph instrument. Btep Into a tele aranh room at some particular time and there won't be a click or a sound of any kind. Go there again and the tick and clicks are Incessant The brain is the same. I write when 1 reel like writing. Ho Romance la Trisco. "I carry n set of the works of great authors with me. I surround myself with them in a room when I write. On one side of me will be a book of Shakes neare's and another great work here and there. Then my surroundings are fa miliar sort of home-like and I write no matter whether 1 am in a hotel or on a train." Mr. Read will return to Portland from McMlnnville and then go to Salem to lecture. Afterward he will go to San Francisco for a short 'visit The author has recently been suffer ing with rheumatism and walks with a cane. At Spokane he had to be carried to the platform. "The earthauake ' shook all the ro mance out of Ban Francisco, but I am going there to see the old town just the same." Mr. Read makes his homejn Chicago, m: ' - : a A Art the grip kxt TMEwatt Trie vxnzxraxKta EPIDEMIC ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES Grip has practlrallv taken Chicago captive. Nearly 660,000 people In the city are suffering from the disease In some form, according to the estimate of the City Health Bureau. New York City has about BOO, 000 cases and cities large end small, an over the country, hove many victims. If you feel the Grip or Influenza coming on you saturate a corner of your handkerchief with Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, and inhale It. also take a teaspoonful in a glass of hot water every hour, and keep warm. This will stop the progress of the disease and drive it out at once. J not dose your self with so-called grip cures which contain opiates. They do not cure; they only deaden the membrane and injure the entire nervous system. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey cures and drives out the disease, but does no injury to the system, nor does it leave any bad after effects. It stimulates the blood and strengthens the run-down system, so as to enable it to throw off all grip germs. Mr. M. D. Wlngate Petoskey, Mich., recently wrote: "I. wish to tell you and the pubilo what your Pure Malt Whis key has done for me. Last February I waa taken with a severe attack of the grip that laid me up for several weeks. The doctor gave me his usual remedy for grip, but I did not Improve, and as I had used several bottles of your Malt Whiskey, I procured a bottle and took it according to directions. In a day or two I felt much better, and by the time I had used the one bottle I was much stronger. It is surely a great medicine for old people. My wife used It for throat and lung trouble, and she thinks It has done her more good than anything else she ever tried." Dr. R. Curran, White St., Rochester, N. Y., tho world-renOwned grip special ist, says: "Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey will cure the most obstinate case of grip, and if taken in time will prevent the Inception of the disease. I advise my patients to take a teaspoonful in hot water every hour If they feel the grip coming on and to saturate a hand kerchief with a little Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey and Inhale It I have never known a case where It has failed to cure and drive out the disease, and It leaves no ba4 after effects." Duffy'a Pure Malt Whiskey Is a posi tive cure for the grip, with all lta symptoms. Taken early. It cuts it short promptly. Taken during its prevalence. It preoccupies the system and prevents the Invasion of grip. Taken while suf fering from It, a speedy relief la real ised. N Thousands of grateful patients volun tarily attest the great healing power of Duffy'a Pure Malt Whiskey and recom mend its use. Caution.!
