BIakeley & Houghton desire us to pub
lish the following extract from letter
of Chas. NJ. Gutfeld of Reedley, Fresno
county, Calf, as they handle the REM
edy referred to and want their customers
to know what eplended medicine it is: (:
''It is with pleasure tell you that by
one days use of Chamberlain's Cough
remedy I was relieved of very bad
cold. My head was completely stopped
up and could not sleep at night. 1 can
recommend this remedy" A cold nearly
always starts in the head and afterwards
extends to the throat and lungs. By
using this remedy freely as soon as the
cold has been contracted it will cure the
cold at once and prevent it from extend
ing to the lungs.

Convention have now been chosen,
and the end of the canvass for the
Republican Presidential nomination
is easily in sight. Major Mckinley
is apparently today the necessary
choice of the majority at st. Louis.
and it seems almost impossible for
his opponents by any combination of
hostile interests to prevent his tri-
umph on the first ballot taken for a
Presidential candidate. In the Ma
tional convention four years ago at
Minneapolis 900 delegates had seats,
and 455 votes were necessary to NOM
mate. At st. Louis next June it is
probable that four additional votes
will be given TO the territories of
Arizona and Oklahoma and one adj
ditional vote to the Indian territory,
which sent but single representative
four years ago to Minneapolis. The
total membership of the convention
will thus be increased to 918, and
AGO votes will be required to make a
nomination. Of the 77O elected fifty
are apparently committed to no par
ticular candidate. 1t is reasonable to
suppose that of the 1913 delegates un-
committed or not yet chosen Major
Mckinley will get at least one-half,
and there are consequently few well
informed observers who now believe
that the Ohio candidate will enter
the approaching convention at ST.
Louis with less than from 525 to $50
votes behind him.

THE news from Washington seems
to be very encouraging as regards
appropriations. The total for Ore
gon, including amounts authorized to
to be contracted for. is upwards of
$4,OOO,O0O, and is by all odds the
best river and harbor bill for Oregon
which ever passed the senate. Be-
sides issuing liberal sum for use on
the locks there is an appropriation Of
100000 for a boat railway around
the dalles. There has previously been
appropriated for this project only the
small sum required for survey and
purchase of right-of-way. At the
present writing it looks as though the
Oregon delegation was doing its full
duty.

THE MONEY IN CIRCULATION


The following figures taken from
the statistical abstract of the United
States issued by the government,
1896, have tendency 10 refute both
Populist arguments to the effect that
there is not enough money in the
United States, and the Democratic
arguments that Democratic admin
istration has been good thing.
Amount of money IN the United
States per capita: 1888, $54.4o;
1892, $S6.21; 1895, $34.38.
Money in circulation per capita
1888, $22.88; 1892, $2444; 1895.
822.96.
The first year above mentioned
was the second year of Cleveland S
first administration; the second year
above mentioned was the second year
of HarrisoD's administration; the
third year is the third and last year
of the present Democratic admins
tration.
It Will be observed that the gain
of '92 over 'ss is sl.s1 of amount of
money in the United States per cap
1ta, and of $I.56 per capita of money
in circulation. The loss of 1895 over
'92 is $1.8S of money in the United
Stotes per capita and of $l.48 per
capita in circulation. These figures
are undoubtedly as true as any that
can be obtained, being official.

Want of sleep is engendered to a
great extent by the overactivity Of the
brain at night. Many people say that
night Is their best time for work, and
thus spend the early part Of the day,
when the brain is freshest, in idleness,
and at night do their work. Working
their brain until just before retiring to
bed is with many utterly fatal to a thor
ough rest. The O~verwrought and tired
brain cannot throw off the thoughts
caused by the work, and on laying down
in bed they return with what appears
to be greater intensity, and thus sleep
Is banished. 1t Is a very good plan to
stop brain work at a fixed hour before
retiring, and then to indulge in some
recreation in the way Of games or light
reading. such as newspapers, period.
Gals, novels, ktc.
The way to avoid illness in your home
is by practicing care, caution and clean
liness. These are the important aud
necessary factors for successful life.
Recollect that there are two words that
must be unknown to us, and they are
trouble and fatigue. We must hound
them out from our vocabulary, for
they are impossible words in q WELL
regulated household. OF course the
mother must not lie In bed Of a morn
ing; she must be up and about, quick,
active and alert. She should recollect
that children are never consulted as
to whether they should be warm or not,
SO that 1t is only a debt owing them IL
we make their lives as healthy and
happy as possible, and this d%esideratum
cannot be achieved unless we are con
tent to sacrifice some Of our pleasures

the photographs, IL they proved good, a
matter that he. and not l. treated as
open to doubt. Shouldering my tripod,
I climbed the long hill by a road evil
IDENTIFY little disturbed by travel, and in
due time came in sight of an overgrown
yard and a large solitary mansion.
whose air Of chilly desertion told me
Immediately that it was the Huntington
Place.
The house was a peculiar one, of
painted brick, with a hopper roof, and
there was something indefinably
gloomy and weird in it's aspect, al
though the front received the full rays
Of the western sun. Everything spoke
Of neglect and abandonment; there
were NJ blinds or even boards at the
windows, and the side pillars of the old
fashioned porch We're held up only by
the folds of a gigantic honeysuckle.
Hastily choosing a favorable point
Of view and adjusting my camera, l
secured a negative on one of my finest
plates, and, overcome by a mysterious
feeling Of awe, without waiting for
further exploration, made the best of
my way home.
That evening I developed my pic
lures. Probably many of you know
what it is to sit in the faint glow of
the ruby lantern and watch some coy
eted image as it starts out bit by bit
| from a surface as blank as an egg. For
my part, I confess it excites me, and
I felt a thrill Of more than ordinary
eagerness as 1 poured the chemicals
! over the Huntington plate. First the
sky ''came up" as We say, a dark shad-
ow; then the house, the porch and a bit
; Of foreground and foliage, the various
details showing more and more wildly
as I rocked the tray from side to side.
/ was just congratulating myself on
having captured a prize. when my at
tention was fixed by a peculiar ap
pearance about n of the upper win
dows. 1t looked like a face-yes, sure
ly-a w0man's face, and my heart be-
gan to beat suffocatingly as an unmis-
taxable. though shadowy. figure de-
fined itself behind the u%ncurtained
panes.
Somehow, at the moment, I did not
think of a natural explanation; it was
the picture Of a ghost, an intangible
being, invisible to n normal eye, but
mysteriOusly patent to the ~sensitized
Aim. l recalled exactly how that win
dow had looked, CLASSY and lifeless,
without a sign OF occupancy. Was 1t
possible that the plate had been used

He was always sayin': "It's all for the

No matter what fortune was bringin',

BY day and by night-in the dark, in the

You'd find him serene and contented;
The world, to his notion, was treatin' him

His life was a lesson all c'mfortin'-

revived my adventurous spirit, and l
determined that the least l could do
was to submit the enigma to the owner
Of Huntington Place.
Mr.. Huntington. when l found him,
was at work in his yard. He greeted
me pleasantly, but with obvious sur
prise at my early appearance. and by
this time my Gnlmanageable heart was
beating so hard that l could only STAN
mer, Il brought your photograph, sir"
and stretch forth the blue print.
He took it, very slowly adjusting his
~spectacles, held it off, and began vague
ly to scrutinize it. after the n of
one unaccustomed to pictures. Sud
denly the color rushed into his face.
He raised a long shaking forefinger
and pointed close to the telltale win
dow, saying with awful deliberatness:
what does that mean?".
II do not know, SIR" l responded,
firmly, meeting his eye and finding my
voice again. Il understood that the
house was empty and l saw no n
there, but when l developed-that is
when l looked at my picture, you
know, after l got home, l noticed that
there seemed to be a oma inside"
He remained like one stunned for
some time. At last he asked:
do you know who it is?'
"No. sir; do you" I rejoined, quick
ly, with involuntary curiosity.
"Yes, it's my darter Esther, who"
I thought he was going to say died, but
instead he said-''left me more than
ten years ago. I didn't even know
whether she was alive" he murmured,
still gazing as If he expected the little
wraith-like picture face to open its lips
and speak.
But are you sure that this is not an
illusion of some kind? I ventured,
after another pause.
"Illusionv answered the old man,
with an angry start. "How do you
mean illusion? Isn't it as plain as
day."
assure you, sir, that l was as near to
the house as we are to the garden yon-
der, and looked at it most particularly,
and there wasn't a soul there, at least
there wasn't anybody to be SEEN"
did you keep you eye on the house
while you were taking the picter?" he
asked.
l considered, and now remembered
that after uncapping the lens I had kept
my eye on the my watch during the ex-
posure-a matter Of four or five Sec

"Then she must have come to the
window about that time," replied Mr..

made the suggestion pertinent; but no,
the negative was a brilliant one, per-
feet In every particular; there was
clearly nothing wrong on the technical
side.
Observing the image carefully, I
noted that the eyes were not turned to
the spot where I had stood, but were
gazing out on the landscape, while the
whole attitude, I fancied. was that Of a

studied 1t under a pocket microscope.

THE FACE
AT THE WINDOW

During the last two years that l was
at boarding school, taking art as an
extra, l paid all my expenses by the
sale of the familiar cyanotypes, or
blue prints" They were very popular
among the girls, and the use Of them In
friezes or in other wall decorations be-
came quite a fashion, sc that l some
times sold hundreds for a single room.
OF course the choice Of subjects was
largely determined by my prospective
purchasers. but there was q steady de-
mand for local landscapes, and a pleas
ant afternoon usually saw me trudging
countryward, hunting the picturesque
as a hungry sportsman hunts game.
On a certain day, when l had pene-
trated farther into the rural districts
than usual, an obliging farmers wife,
whom l had just taken in the act of
working a wellsweep, observed:
You ought to go up to the old Turk
ington Place, miss, If it's a real slightly
spot you're after; there amt another
such lookout for miles around. You
keep right on past the BRIDGE" and she
proceeded with directions Of q bewil-
dering prolixity.
"Who lives there?" I asked.
Nobody lives there, and hasn't for
ten years. Old man burlington, he
lives.' and here followed still more
puzzling directions. "Come to think,
you'd better get leave of him before
you go; he's dreadful queer. They do
say the house is haunted" she called
out as / closed the gate.
Now, next to a 'view," l loved an adj
venture, and this queer Mr.. Huntington
and the hypothetical ghost seemed a
combination too good to be lost. In
half an hour l had found the old man
and obtained the desired permission,

James Edward Oglethorpe founded
the colony of Georgia in 1888, and the
houses erected by him formed the be-
ginning of Savannah. After founding
the colony he returned to England and
received promotion In the army. in

a commission as general. When a young
