1t is said by the most prominent
citizens of Spokane that Professor
Chesterfield tells you the state of
your health. what ails you, and
whether or not you can be cured; If
you will soon make certain business
changes; If your home life is or will
be happy; if you will be successful
in your love affairs IL you will
travel; if you will win your lawsuit;
if you will be successful in mines or
minerals. He also tells of deaths and
gives the length of life. He certainly
is no charlatan, else he could not
number among his collection such
noted personages as Senator Teller,
Governor Lind of Minnesota, Senator
Depew, Mark Twain, Sir Edward
Clark, Gladstone, Ingegsoll, ex-Gov-
ernor Rogers, Alice Nelson, Sarah
Bernhard, John Drew and scores of
others too numerous to mention. Dur
ing Professor Chesterfields visit here
his parlors have been constantly
thronged, and In no instance has there
been the slightest dissatisfaction. II
you are in trouble as regards the
heart affairs, you should not fail to
consult Professor Chesterfield The
parlors remain open to the public un-
til 8 p. m. and all day Sunday. The

II STANDS back, the old tort, from
| the Atlantic shore. It's grass
grown walls towering up to an i'm
mense height, in unbroken sweeps
and angles OF green, and it looks snli-
tary and deserted. Only a small SEN
try box on the sea face indicates that
the impregnable earthwork is again
occupied, while the occasional sound
of drum beats. and bugle calls, show
that company of United States ar
tillery is stationed there to look
after the row of sunken guns. quite
invisible from the outside, and which
no intruder is ever allowed to inyes-
tigate.
The Old Fort. like an ancient CO.
auette, has a history a stormy his
tory, and romance attached to IT.
1t once withstood assault after as
sault long years ago from vigor-
Gus and determined enemy, and the
sod of its bastions and outer wall,
not then so lofty and imposing as it
is to-day, was dyed red in many
places, and the white sand road
winding around in front of two of
its sides, covers the crumbling bones
of most of a gallant line of blue
which surged up, was beaten back
thinned and decimated, then swept
up again to remain in queer mis-
shapen heaps, and outstrerched soli-
tary figures, all along the escarp-
ment of the walls from whose case
ments puffs of gray smoke oozed out,
and were blown this way and that
by the salt sea breezes
They were placed side by side,
those silent figures, and given decent
burial down in the white sand at the
foot of the fort, where they had
fallen, and to-day butcher carts and
bakers wagons go plodding along
hove them, and pedestrians living
in the pretty village, scattered over
the island, tramp cheerily along mar
row sidewalks skirting this forgot
fen cemetery, being quite ignorant
that their careless footsteps are
passing over the remains of men who
had tried fruitlessly and heroically
to storm the batlements of the
grass-grown fort.
Conditions arc changed to-day, but
: it still remains impregnable.
A young man sat on the grassy
edge of the road, and while smoking
a cigar, glanced with idle interest
at the towering slant of the forts

were by the sentry's watch tower

been gallantly and usefessly fought
