REEDS METHOD OF WORK.
Would Postpone It to the Last Minute
for Liqht Literature.


Many stories are told illustrative a.
Reeds methods of work He was ex-
tremeiy fond of what is called Tight
literature" and would postpone work
on a task he had before him to the
last possible moment in order to fin
ish some story or romance. He
always managed to get up steam, how
ever. in time to complete his work.
For weeks before his graduation
from college he was buried in the
treasures of fiction contained in a
friends library. The number OF
speakers for commencement day had
been changed that year from fifteen
to ten, and Reed was reminded OF the
fact by college mate.
Time enough yet. Why | have five
weeks!" he answered
But the other fellows have been
working five months!"
"Never mind" he answered as he
went on with his reading, IN have

Next to fiction he was fondest Of
oratory. He was a student of parlia-
mentary law and of oratory long be-
fore he himself became an authority
by the publication of the standard
works, Reeds Rules" and Modern
Eloquence."
Another time Reed was asked to
contribute an article to a magazine by
a certain date. AS usual, he put it off.
Finally the last night of the allotted
time arrived, and Reed sat down at
his desk, intending to scribble off an
apology for his inability and a refusal
to write the article. Suddenly an idea
occurred to him. He wrote feverishly
until after 2 o'clock the next morning
and finished the article in the one
sitting.

The man walked up to the hotel
register and signed his name, with a
flourish, "E. K. Phtholognyrrh." Look
here, Turner" said the clerk, who
knew him very well, ''is somebody on
your track? Where did you get that
outiandish name?"
my boy, you're SLOW" replied Tur-
ner, airily. That's my same old name
written in plain English and pro-
nounced as it is written-just Turner.
Look at it. Of course l do it just to
make people guess. They wonder
about my nationality and the pronun-
citation of my name. l can hear them
talk ABOUT it. But, as l said before,
it's English spelling"
Twill you kindly explain?" asked
the clerk.
"'Phth,' there is the sound Of t. in
'phthisis, began Turner; 'olo,'
there is the sound of 'ur' in colonel
'gn,' there is the n in 'gnat; 'yrrh' is
the sound of err in 'myrrh. Now if
that does not spell Turner what does
1t spell?"
WELL" said the clerk, cit is lucky
for me that the majority of men
don't register their names phoneti-

A drunken mGn staggered into
church in Philadelphia some years ago
and sat down in the pew of one OF
the deacons. The preacher was dis
coursing about prevalent popular
vices. Soon he exclaimed. Where is

just far enough gone to think the call
personal, SO, rising heavily, replied;

while the drunkard's character and
fate were eloquently portrayed. A few
minutes later the preacher reached an
other head of his discourse, and asked:
Where is the hypocrite?" Gently

said, in an audible whisper: Stand

FIRST STAGE OF CATARRH
A Serious Mistake Which Thou
sands Are Making.

The first stage of catarrh is what is
commonly known as catching cold. " 1t
may be in the head, nose, throat or lungs.
Its beginning is sometimes SO severe as
to cause a chill and considerable fever, or
it may be SO slight as to not hinder person
from his usual business In perhaps a
majority of cases little or no attention is
paid to the first stage of catarrh, and hence
it is that nearly one-half of the people have
chronic catarrh in some form.
To neglect a cold is to invite chronic
catarrh. AS soon as any one discovers

should at once begin the use of Peruna
according to directions on the bottle,
and the cold is sure to pass away with

Unless this is done the cold is almost
sure to end in the second stage of catarrh.
which is making SO many lives miserable.
If Peruna was taken every time one has
cold or cough. chronic catarrh would
be practically an unknown disease.

JACK THE RIPPER
His Grimes Are Directed
 Against Children
The Latest Victim a Five Year Old Boy Tn Detroit-This Is One of Many Like Grimes.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 1S.-The mutt lated body of four -year-old Alphonse Wilmes, whose father lives on St Aubin avenue. was found today in the rear of the Michigan Stove works. The hands were tied behind with a wire and red handkerchief had been stuffed down the boys throat for a gag. All the wounds had apparently been made with some sharp instru- ments. Alphonse had been missing from home since yesterday.
 Perhaps the strangest phase of the mystery is that there were only a few small stains of blood on the body and clothing of the lad, despite the horrible character of his wounds. It looks as though the murderer after committing the deed. washed the blood from the body and then carried it to the lot where it was found. The police are Investigating.
 The police are satisfied that the boy was murdered by q maniac and are working along these lines. The officers believe that the child was killed in some house and afterward the murder CT carried his body to the lonely spot WEcre it was found.
 There have been several crimes against children in the city recently.

 The delegates were rather slow in as sembling and it was nearly 10 o'clock when Donald G. Fletcher, chairman of the local committee on arrangements, called the assembly to order. Mir. Fletcher stated that the president Of the congress, Hon. John H. Kirby of Houston, Textas, had been called sud denly to New York on important busl- ness and would be unable to be present at the sessions this year, and that Judge c. J. Gavin, chairman of the eX- ecutive committee, had been delayed in Portland on his way here. He there fore introduced Hon. Walter Gresham. former president of the congress, as temporary presiding officer.
 Mir Gresham spoke briefly, referring to his connection with the congress in previous years and expressing conf dence in the future usefulness of the organization. He then introduced Gov ernor Henry R. Mcbride of Washing ton, who in behalf of the state of Washington delivered q brief address of welcome.
 Following Governor Mcbride. Chair man Gresham introduced Mayor Humes who welcomed the delegates in behalf of the city of Seattle Thomas Richard son of New Orleans then read the an- nual address of President Kirby.

 President Roosevelt received the heartiest commendation and declara- tion was made for his re- nomination
 The unexpected feature of the con- vention was the adoption of a resolu tion declaring John l.. Webster of Omaha. one of the delegates to the convention and one of the well known party leaders of the state. to be the choice of Nebraska republicans for vice president in 1904. The resolution was offered just as the conv ention was about to adjourn and was received with enthusiasm.
