She Was a Real Orator.

Senator Beveridge during recent
visit to Portland talked about oratory.
"The campaign" he said, has given
us oratoTy more remarkable for guam
hty than quality. True oratory is that
which brings results. is that which
converts an audience of supporters.
Such oratory is rare.
Il have friend whose wife, a 'suf-
fragette, Is great orator. Her
speeches from the platform are won
derful, and her husband the other
day gave me an illustration of the
efficiency of her private speeches.

her a new wrinkle eradicator

CONSTANT BATHS HIS MANIA.
Wealthy PlalnfieId Youth Spends Most
of His limo Washing.

A mans curious mania for constant
washing is puzzling physicians at
Plainfield, N. 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.
Hubbard, who, In speaking of the case,
said that he had every reason to be-
lieve that he would be able to effect
cure.
This is the third case of the kind
that has come to my attention." DR..
Hubbard said, "but it is by far the
most aggravated. My patient labora
under the hallucination that every OBJ
ject he touches soils that part of the
body with which it 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 10 hours that day without Iea5-
ing the room, and they had reason to
believe that if he had taken one bath
within that time he had bathed 80
times. OF course, this would weaken
the strongest constitution on earth.
ITO give you an idea how deeply
rooted this mania is, it usually takes
this young man from two to five hours
to 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 it 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
tressed 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

Many Travellers Have Letters Ad-

man to a sexton, that churches got
such heavy mail Who are all these

For strangers who worship here"
said the sexton. This and those other
two churches on your route are well
known the country over. When young
people from other towns make up
their minds to come to New York their
folk at home are pretty badly worried
over them. In their anxiety they re-
member one of these popular churches
that everybody has read about, and
they grasp at 1t as last hope. They
don't know Just what the wanderers
will do in New York or where they
will drift, so they say; We will write
you for while in care of Mr.. Blanks
church.
And they do write here. That
brings the young people around for
the MAIL anyhow, and after that, from
a sense of obligation alone, they come
back to the service. 1t means little
extra work for the sexton to look aft
er all these letters, but the influence

Warmth and Illumination Needed.

A philosophy without heart and a
faith without intellect are distractions
from the true life and being Of knowl-
edge and faith. The man whom phil
osophy leaves cold, and the man whom
real faith does not illumine, may be
assured that the fault lies In them
selves, not in knowledge and faith.
The former is still an alien from phil
osophy. the latter an alien from faith.

  Interesting as Is his psychology and alluringly fresh as is his detail in characterization. his framework is pretty sure to be conventional to the point of hackneyed. This does not matter in his novels. His literary fa- cility. if perhaps not genius, clothes the old frame in such lively, fresh charm that one quite forgets its an- tiquity and obvious mechanism. But the dramatist, seeing a play" in the Locke novel. hits on this very frame work and accentuates, 1t to the ex. clusion of the infinite, and graceful | touches that make the original liter ature instead of merely readable mar | rative.
 'Septimus" is the latest play from Locke. Philip LittelI new drama tist, made it. The job is a good one. Readers of the book will get ar, idea of the play when l. say it reduces Fora and her inventor to the merely incidental and concerns itself with the story of Septimus's chivalrous rescue of Emmy. and of their ulti- mate love and happiness. Thus, a consistent and concise plot is offered for the sketch of Septimus's eccentric tiles, simplicity and nobility. But he Is just little too worthy, and the plot is just little too clear and easy running. After the comedy has run ten minutes of It's way one can tell all the rest of 1t without the slightest l genius for second sight.
