Several sailor boarding house keepers
have tried recently to get even on nvnls
by bringing information to the United
States court officers of suoh rivals having
received "blood mouey" in violation of

reason not easily explained the frnmers
of the act did not get at the root of the
vil at least tho evil as it exists in Port
land becauso the act provides only for
the punishment of the man who pays
blood money. Nothing is said nbont the
shark who receives it. Of course no one
is ooinp to lodcro a comnlaint against a
ship master, eo the traffic in sailors is
reliable and relied uoon for cecuracv and
truth and to treat every man a leingj

a great and noted man like General
Grant is made use of for the puriKe of
bringing a quack notrnm. or pntent
medicine into notoriety, 1 think it is car
rying the thing too far. General Grant
is suffering from a disease- almost uni
versally considered incurable, but wheth
er cancer can or cannot bo cured is of
course a question for discussion and in
vestigation in the proper way. But to
assort that Grant's physicians are not do
ing all that medical science can do for
him, it seeois to mo is entirely uncalled
for aad out of place. These thoughts
are called forth from reading an article
in yesterdav's Oregonian headed '"'Gen
eral Grant." Is the old hero dying became
of medical intolerance?" Solicitude for
General Grant is universal, and thou
sands would be only too glad to render
him any assistance if it were possible,
and, of course, such a heading as the
above would naturally attract the atten
tion of evervono who reads tho paper, and
after reading about a column and finding
It onlvan advertisement of a patent med
icine not relevant or bearing on the case
at nil. and no succestions offered, noth
ing but vagUe insinuations that so and
so might be the case, one naturally throws
the paper down with disgust. It is a
matter of surprise to me that any person
would have the cheek to offer such an
article for publication or that a journal
liko the Oregonian would publish it un
der the existing circumstances.
It will hoon be so, if this kind of thing
continues, that a cautious man will begin
at the bottom of an article and read up

reading wme infernal patent medicine

shells which is probably the largest thing
of the kind in the United Stale3.

of ten feet. Tho amouut of shells is in

candor compels me to admit I did not
care much, wbicli. l gave a grunt oi sat
isfaction and pulled most ot the clothes
off George, who was again snoring for
all that was out. Baby had either been
in the habit of Jnvijing its papa out of
bed for a walk, or else it did not like the
at vie of snoring, for it was no sooner laid
in bed than it struck a higher note than
ever, and George and I Vere called to
look after its welfare. George took it in
his arms. I flung a blanket around him,
and feeling 1 had performed my part,
went back to -bed. I watched him for
some time as he paced the room, and
when baby'ri lungs got tired, wont to
sleep. How long 1 continued in this hap
py state I do not know, bdt I awoke verv
suddenlv, to find baby trying to gouge
my eyes" out with both it,s feet, liad it
been awako I would say it did it on pur
pose; as it was, I just placed them in tho
vicinity of George's noe and again
passed iuto the land of forget f nines.
When noxt i awoko it was daylight and
baby wan sleeping, but soon awoke, and
the next tluug in order was to dress it.
and it is a task I hope never to bo called
oa again to attempt. We dressed it
twice and even then hud soraathing left
that we could find no use for, and so left
them. Aboat eleven in the morning the
ladv and gentleman were Been coming,
and W., George and Bill took to t he
woods aad left me alone with our young
guest. The mother made a jump at it
and covered it with kisses, smiled when
she saw tho unused-articles of .dress, and
asked if babv was good. I replied that
it was a model baby. Giving it a few
mow kisses sho said: I told you so;
thanked mo for my trouble, Aad was gone.
As eoon as she disappeared tho boys

Soma iMRjon wear robes of thought
enveloping them which striko yon like a
chill Irom a damp cellar- or a bfccTo from
the north sido of a gravcjnrd. The tex
tures of others' robes feels to you as a
whiff from the shambles. Bad clothing
for success.
Now comes tha question, how to culti
vate the agreeable stvle of thought; how
to make for vourself these invisible gar- j
ments pleasing or the reverse, to tnosa
about you?
The" world has gravelly set it down in
its books for ages that- in order to make
money one must save, scrimp and starve.
1 assert to the contrary. If you want to
make money, spend it, not recklessly, but
wisely and to an end and for a purjo.
Get ihe best of all you need tho very
best you can whether of food, of cloth
ing, 6f house, home, everything. If you
hesitate between the five and ten dollar
boots, decide In favor of the ten dollar
Iiair, presuming, of course, they are Ihe
etter.
Wh ? Because your food, jour chith
ing, your surroundings affect yonr thought
and mako it pleasing or the reverse, ac
cording to their quality. .Live in a tene
ment house, and live poorly, and you u-el
poor nnd abused in a financial sense, and
if it be necessary that j-ou have an inU r
vi&w with a banker for nuy purpose the
chuueus are ten to one that ho scents you
out. judges you accordingly, and reject-,
your application.
