M0LES HAVE SEPARATE
AND DISTINCT MEANINGS

According to tradition, if you have
mole on yonr chin, you may expect
to be wealthy; while, if you have it
under your arm. it promises you wealth
and honor as well.
A mole on the ankle indicates cOur-
age. On the left temple, mole indi-
Gates that you will find friends among
the great ones of the earth, but if it
be placed on the right temple it warns
you of coming distress. A mole on a
man's,knee means that he may expect
TO marry rich woman. A mole on
the neck promises wealth. If you
have mole on your nose, you are
going to be great traveller. A mole
on the throat indicates health and
wealth.
Finger nails are also said to foretell
yodr disposition and future. A white
spot on the tbumbnail is promise
of present. while if it is on the index
finger it is to tell you that you: are
going to make new friend. A white
spot on the middle finger warnes you
of the coming advent of an enemy; on
the fourth finger, it indicates the
arrival of letter, or better still, "a
sweetheart: and spot on the little
finger tells you that you will have to
make journey shortly. Big ir-
regular spots tell you that your dispoS-
ition is hasty. Nails that split easily
are said to betoken bad temper
Corrugated nails betoken pessimistic
mind.
The prevailing belief is that what
your right hand nails tell you will
pass quickly; while the event told by
your left hand will be longer in
coming about.

THE OLD WAY AND THE NEW

The disclosures of Mr.. Hency,
by means of affidavits, regarding
the 'holdup" Legislature Of 1897,
are to some extent new to the
public generally. in detail, though
that Doodle circulated. or was
ready to be distributed on both
sides, will surprise nobody
Jonathan Bourne Jr.. now a Unit
ed States senator was a member
Of the assembly. and was the
leader of the "holdup" forces
He and his followers defeated
Mitchell by the holdup" because
certain terms of theirs were mo-.
complied with. Mitchell. accord

a long. bitter. shameful battle.
in which the interests of the peo-
pie of Oregon cut no figure
That was an exceptional o--
casion. in fact the only occasion
when no organization OF the .eE-
islature was effected. but there
was nothing very unusual about
the presence and use of doodle
and of all sorts Of bargaining
and traficking. over the senator
ship. in which not q thought was
given to the interests of the reo-
pie of Oregon. When q senator
was TO be elected. except on two
or three occasions when there

The real business and duty of g
legislature were by o large pro-
portion of the members forgot

Delaware BreakWater.

In asking Congress for an appropri-
alton of 81, 3OO,00O to build the Della
ware Breakwater closer to the shore,
Congressman Hiram Burton. is receiving
the support of people in his section and
of powerful interests in Philadelphia,
who believe in the great future of the
Delaware River. As the Breakwater
now stands it is Of but little protection
from northwest storm, and every year
many vessels go on the shore. This
has been the Congressman pet scheme
for several years and he has finally
brought the varied interests involved
around to it and is now receiving the
backing of the Pilots Association and
other interests which have heretofore
opposed the measure.
