A TRAVELLING MANS Experience.


81 must tell you my experience on an
east bound o. R. & N R. r. train from
Pendletan to LeGrande, Ore, writes
Sam A. CARRIER, well known travelling
man. 81 was i'm the smoking depart
ment with some other travelling men
when one of them went out into the
coach and came back and said, There
at once got up and went out, found
her very ill with cramp collie; her
hands and arms were drawn up so you
could not straighten them, and with
deathlike look on her face. Two or
three ladies were working with her
and giving her whisky. | went to my
suit case and got my bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy Ct never travel without it,,
ran to the water tank, put a double
dose of the medicine in the glass,
poured some water into it and stirred
liz with a pencil; then l had quite a
time to get the ladies to let me give it
| to her, but | succeeded. l could at
once see the effect, and | worked with
her, rubbing her hands, and in 90 min
utes gave her another dose. By this
time we were almost into lie Grande,
where was to leave the train. gave
the bottle to the husband to be used
in case another dose should be needed,
but by the time the train ran into LIE.

I are in the middle classes. YOU never
have an appetite before at the very
earliest. If you're in France or other
countries on the continent you can be
hungry sooner, and evidently it is the

Almost Immediately u footmdn came
so much brilliance of color or variety

cause of this effect, but | couldn't
define it. Perhaps it was partly the
clearness of the atmosphere, but there
was great deal more than that. Ev

deny them a fantastic kind of attrac
tiveness.
At cur rate of speed l hadn't to wait
many minutes for. the grand Fifth ave-
nue. houses, and oh, poor London-poor,
dear London, 1 wanted to fly back
and tear down Buckingham palace.
Mrs. Ess Kay had always talked
about her New York home" which
made it sound rather small and mod
est, SO l was surprised when we
stopped before a huge, square pile,
built of rich looking. rough brown
stones, so nearly the color of a Christ
mas plum pudding that it made me
hungrier than ever to look at it. The
house is trimmed with three wide
bands of carving, made of the same
kind of stone, and there are carved
| bronze ratings and lamps on the
| porch, and the front door Is carved,
| too, like the door of a cathedral.
| We were let into vestibule, all col
ored mosaic and things, and that
opened into a big, square, glassed over
garden, with a great marble fountain
playing in the middle. ] never saw
such wonderful place in my life, but
| until got used to it, l couldn't help
| feeling that it was more like splen-
1 did foreign hotel than a mere house.
| The garden isn't real garden when
you come to examine 1t, for it's paved
with rare stones of different colors.
like the jewels in Aladdin's cave, but
all around the fountain beautiful flow
ers are growing and pink and white
water lilies float in the marble basin.
There are orange trees in pots, and q
forest of tall palms, all of which are
reflected and repeated over and over
again in the mirrors of which the
walls are made, and on the little tables
standing about here and there among
groups of inlaid chairs are bowls over
flowing with roses. The roof is sky
Hight, over which creepers have been
| trained, so that the light which filters
through is lovely green. No doors
are visible at first glance, but when
you are initiated, all you have to do is
to walk up to the mirror wall, find a
lgold button, press 1t and door opens
into a room as marvellous as the foun-
tain court, around which. it seems, all
the rest of the house is built.
'tWell have something to drink
here" said Mrs. Ess Kay, "before we
take off our things" So we all sat
down, among the palms and orange
blossoms, and a delicious sense of
peace after storm stole over US with
the GOODNESS and the green dusk and
the perfume of flowers.

Mr.. MObiey's Majority.

Mr.. G l.. Mobley, of Heath
Springs, writes US calling our
attention TO an error in his ma.
Jority over Mr.. Perry for Super

count published in SATURDAYS

Mobley says it should be 2O6.
The additions were not made in
this office, the totals being taken
from the executive committees
tabulated statement of the vote
According to that statement Mr..
Mobley's vote in the county is
1910, Mr. Perry's I'LL, making
the formers majority 80 as pub
lished. But, as Mr.. Mobley
says, there is clearly an error in
the edition of his vote. The
published figures really make
his total 1917. We find that the
printer, however, made one mis-
take In setting up the official fig
ures OF the vote at each precinct.
According to the committee 3
tabulated statement Mr.. Mobley
received Al votes at Fiat Creek.
instead OF 46, as published
Thus corrected, his total vote is
1910, and his majority 199.
