True to Senator Morrill,.

Senator Hoar and Editor Harvey
w. Scott of the Portland Oregonian
met recently on an elevator at the
capitol under circumstances which
neither will soon forget. Mr.. Scott,
one of the most respected citizens of
the Pacific coast and as venerable in
appearance as the Massachusetts
senator, was accompanied by Mr..
Mitchell, the senior senator from his
state. AS Mr.. Hoar came on the
elevator Mr.. Mitchell introduced him
to Mr.. Scott, who two years ago
virtually declined an election as
United States senator. Mr.. Scott
rendered his hand cordially but
quickly withdrew it as Senator Hoar
declined to grasp his hand.
81 should tell you why will not
shake hands with you," said Mr. Hoar.
"There once appeared in your paper
a paragraph r,fecting upon my
friend the late SENATOR Morrill, of
Vermont. 1t said that he was living
along several years to save funeral
expenses"
81 am not aware that such a para
graph was ever printed in my paper"
replied Mr.. Scott with some warmth
as we'll as surprise. I once had a
Vermont man on the editorial staff
who might have written such a thing
but cannot say that it did or did not
appear. l never saw it."
"You are responsible for what
appears in the Oregonian," interposed
Mr.. Hoar.
81 am, SIR" said Mr.. Scott.
"Then 1 hold you responsible for
that paragraph"
Every we'll, sir, will turn my back
upon you," rejoined the venerable
editor, who was as good as his word.
Mr.. Hoar did likewise and the two
parted company in silence.

The Fear of Being Thought Queer.

The Fear of Being Thought Queer"
The fear of being thought peculiar
prevents a great many people from
reaching the limit of their possibili-
ties. These people can endure I'M
merited blame, and even calumny,
with fortitude. They are patient
under great trials, and are not afraid
to face difficulties, and are weak,
perhaps, only in this one point. Fear
of ridicule, of being thought different
from other people, appears to be the
one vulnerable spot in their armor
They seem unable to rid themselves
of the idea that they excite comment
everywhere because of their supposed
peculiarities.
Nine times out of ten, this "queer-
ness" is disease of the Imagination,
and has no real existence. The vic
tim of such a morbid condition of
mind must be his own physician.
The veriest tyro in the worlds ways
must know that men and women are
too busy with their own affairs, too
much occupied with selfish cares, to
think much about him. whether he is
like or unlike other people of his
acquaintance. Rest assured they are
not watching you or analyzing your
movements. Be your Ne tural self as
far as you can, and do not trouble
yourself about what others think OF
say of you. Do what you think to be
right, and give yourself no concern
as to what others think of yonr words
or actions, and you will ind tina
your "queerness" will soon fall away
from you.-Success.

small balls in the air. One form of
sport is to try to catch live fish
swimming about in a tank of water,
by means of small fish pole, line,
and wire grapple. A few sen were
asked for the privilege of fishing; a
fish caught became the property of
the fisherman. This game was very
exciting-especially for the fish.
Japanese officials wear clothing
similar to that worn in America.
Policemen look very neat in their
white trousers, military coats, and
swords inclosed in lacquered sheaths.
The masses, however, still cling to
the national costume. The principal
outer garment is the kin,ono, which
opens in front and is put on like an
overc oat. 1t has wide, flowing
sleeves and reaches nearly to the
feet. 1t is made of cotton, Grape, or
silk, and, figured with representations
of birds, flowers, or dragons, looks
very picturesque. 1t is kept in place
by a band of cloth, the obi, tied
around the waist. Men and women
dress alike, except that in case of the
women the obi becomes a broad sash
knotted behind in an enormous puff.
Wooden shoes and short socks with a
separate apartment for the big toe
are worn upon the feet. Ladies are
usually provided with pictured fan
and paper parasol. Babies are car
ried tied upon the backs of their
mothers or older sisters. Polite
salutations are exchanged by making
very low bows, which are sometimes
accompanied with Kissing sounds
caused by drawing in the breath
through the teeth.

Cure Catarrh by Natures Own
M thOd-. Every Breath of Hyomei
Brings Relief.
Nearly every one who has catarrh
knows how foolish it is to try and
cure it by dragging the stomach.
Temporary relief may be given, but a
cure seldom comes.
Until recently your physician would
have said the only way to cure
catarrh would be to have charge of
climate; but now with Hyomei you
can carry health giving climate in
your vest pocket and by breathing it
a few minutes four times a day eoon
cure yourself.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but S1.OO and consists of an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest pocket,
medicine dropper and a bottle of
Hyomei. The inhaler lasts a life
time, and if one bottle does not cure,
an extra bottle of Hyomei can be OBJ
tanned for so cents. 1t is the most
economical of all remedies advertised
for the cure of catarrh, and is the
I only one that follows nature in her
method of treating diseases of tie
respiratory organs.
Fl G. Pierce has sold a great many
Hyomei outfits and the more he sells,
the more convinced he is that he is
perfectly safe in guaranteeing to
refund the money if Hyomei does not

Thayer & Wilkins Zinc Properties

Have placed themselves in an abso-
lutely safe condition by consolidation of
all their companies into one large COM
pany. The past history of the district
shows that good properties under good
management have been and are now q very
profitable business. The testimony Of
those who have made a careful investi-
cation OF these properties together with
the great success these companies have had
for the past two years go to prove that
these properties are among the very best
ever opened in the district, and that they
are under the very best management. A
careful investigation of the smelling busi-
ness shows that net profit of from SO 90
to S14.OO Is made on every ton of ore
handled. At meeting of the directors of
the several companies Nov. 18th. il was
voted to combine our compa mics and build
smelter as soon ss possible. This will
axe our company one of the strongest in
Missouri. We can now produce about 500
tons OF lead and zinc per week. The profit
en- the smelter alone will pay 20 per cent.
dividend on the whole capitalization of
the company. We have a made showing
Of from 20 per cent. to so per cent. for the
past two years in the several companies
without the smelter. The properties are
now in the best possible condition, having
several new mills and great showing of
first class ore, and the success of our new
company will be such as to satisfy every
one. Those who have been lucky enough
to get good block of this stock at the
present prices will be more than pleased
with this investment. Those best able to
judge are sure this stock will advance from
= 90 to 3 90 share as soon as the smelter
is in operation.
A small block of this stock Is still for
sale by yours truly,

1t seemed most likely, indeed nearly

restricting my movements.

This result was assisted by some
