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

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

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."

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.! When you ask your drug
gist, grocer or dealer for Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey be sure you get the gen
uine. It's the only absolutely pure
medicinal malt whiskey and is sold in
sealed bottles only never In bulk.
Look for the trade-mark, the "Old
Chemist" on the label, and make sure
the seal over the cork Is unbroken.
