She Was a Real Orator.

Senator Beveridge during a recent
visit to Portland talked about oratory,
THE campaign" he said, has given
us oratory more remarkable for guam
tity than quality. True oratory is that
which brings results, is that which
converts an audience Of supporters,
Such oratory is rare.
II have a friend whose wife, 'suf'

speeches from the platform are won

CHAPTER VII.
A Niuht In Nice,

The drive to Nice is not only short
but pleasant one. Mr.. Barnes, seated
by Lady Chartris, though chatting
alertly, keeps both his eyes and his
ears open.
Once or twice the American listens
intently, he thinks he hears pursuing
hoofs. But these blend into the noises
of general traffic as they reach and
pass through the old town. Crossing
the river by the Pont Neuf and turning
down the Quai st. Jean, they drive
along the Avenue Massena nearly to
the sea.
Though visitors have for the last
month been leaving the great watering
place by the Mediterranean, there are
still enough sOiourners to comfortably
fill the public gardens. The band is
playing, the night is only pleasantly
warm, and Lady Chartris seems in
high spirits as Barnes says to her:
You can drop me anywhere now.
Only where shall | meet you?"
AT the Hotel de la Mediterranee.
There Count Danella Is doubtless wait.
ing for me" replies the hostess. Call
for me at II and I'll drive you back"
Barnes alights and, as he glances at
the neighboring Hotel des Anglais, he
recollects this had been the scene Of
his first call upon Enid when Lady
Chartris had invited him to accom-.
pany her and her charge to Monte
Carlo. He can scarce believe 1t is only

happiness.
Suddenly somebody in the passing
throng mentions the name of the fas.

thinks Burton, and pulls out an almost

CONSTANT BATHS HIS MANIA.
Wealthy Plainfield Youth Spends Most
Of His Time Washing.

A mans curious mania for constant
washing is puzzling physicians at
Plainfield, y. j. The patient, who is
suffering from the delusion that any
thing he touches soils his hands is the
son of wealthy parents.
He spends most of his time over the
wash BASIN cleansing his face and
hands.
He is being treated by Dr. Harry V.
Hubbard, who in speaking of the case,
said that he had every reason to be-
lieve that he would be able to effect a
cure.
This is the third case of the kind
that has come to my attention." Dr.
Hubbard said, but 1t is by far the
most aggravated. My patient labors
under the hallucination that every OBJ
ject he touches soils that part of the
body with which il comes in contact
and he at once rushes to the wash
basin or bath tub, as the case may be-
Not long ago his family sent for me
and explained their sons mania. They
told me that he had been in the bath
room IS hours that day without leav-
ing the room, and they had reason to
believe that IL he had taken one bath
within that time he had bathed 30
times. OF course, this would weaken
the strongest constitution on earth.
"To give you an idea how deeply
rooted this mania is, it usually takes
this young man from two to five hours
10 dress each morning. He arises and
at once plunges into his bath. This
complete, he sets about makig his
morning toilet. After picking up one
piece OF underwear and putting II on
he at once washes his hands. The
other garment is slipped on and again
he washes his hands. To get on his
shoes and stockings he has to wash
his hands four times, and so on until
the toilet is complete He never
touches an object that he does not
cleanse his hands Immediately there
after
AT times we find him deeply dis,
crossed after his bath. More often
than not he complains that the towels
he used were not clean, and he will
set another bath and plunge in and
! out until he Is completely exhausted"
