 "Do you mean, brother, that the Lord has given you second sight?"

 I asked him whether he would look into his crystal for me. With 6 burst of profanity, as unexpected as it was vivid, he cursed "dem boys" that had stolen from him a priceless crystal which once had belonged to his old royal mother, who, before him, had had the same gift of the spirit. But, he added-turnlng to a table by his | side. and lifting from it q large cut glass decanter of considerable capac- ity, though at present void of con- tents-that he had found that gazing into the large glass ball of it's stopper produced almost equally good results at times.
 First he asked me to be kind enough to shut the door.
 We had to be very quiet, he de- elared; the spirit could work only in deep silence. And he asked me to be kind enough to close my eyes. Then I heard his voice niutterlng, in a strange tongue, queer dark gobbling kind of words, which may have been ancient African spell-words, or sheer gibberish such as magieians In all times and places have employed to mystify their consultants. I looked at him through the corner of my eye-as doubtless he had antici- pated. for he was glaring with an air of inspired abstraction into the ball of the decanter stopper. So we sat silent for I suppose some ten minutes. Then heard him give another deep sigh. Opening my eyes saw him slowly i shaking his head.
 De spirits don't seem communicable dis afternoon" he muttered tilting the ! decanter slightly on one side and ob- serving it drearily.
 DO you think, your majesty" asked with as serious a face as could assume, "the spirits might work better-if the decanter were to be fflled?'
 "Mebbe, sar; mebbe. Spirits is cu- rious things; dey need inspiration sometimes. just like ourselves"

There were far more blacks than whites down on Bay street. but here there were nothing but blacks on ev- cry side.
 The roads ran in every direction, and along them everywhere were fig ures of black women shuf1ling with burdens on their heads, or groups of bonny, here and there almost a beauty. There were churches and dance halls and saloons-all radiating, so to say, prosperous blackness.
 At first the effect of the whole scene was little sinister, even little frightening. The strangeness of Af- rican jungle, was here. and one was a white man in it all alone among grin ming savage faces. But for the figures about one being clothed, the illusion had been complete; but for that and the kind-hearted salutations from comedy white-turbaned mammies which soon sprang up about me, and the groups of elfish children that laughingly blocked one's progress with requests-not in any weird African dialect but in excellent English-for "a copper. please"
 This request was not above the maidenly dignity of quite big and bux- om lasses. One of these. a really SUI perb young creature, asked for "a cop per. please" but with a sauey coquet- " befltting her adolescence.
 "I'il give you one if you'll tell me where the king lives" said I.
 "Ole King Coffee?" she asked, and then fell into very agony of negro laughter. Recovering, she put her finger to her lips, suggesting silence. and said:
 "Come along, I'll show you !"
 And walking by my side, 1.-the as q young animal she had soon brought me to cabin much like the rest. though perhaps little poorer looking.
 "Shh! There he isl" and she shook all over again with suppressed giggles.
 I gave her a sixpence and told her to he good girl. Then I advanced up little strip of garden to where I had NOuShl SllllipSc bl NtHeIdD1c white-haired negro seated at the win dow, as if for exhibition, with a great open book in his hands This he ap- peaTed to be reading with great solem- nity. through enormous goggles, though I thought I caught side-glint of his eye, as though he had taken a swift reconnoitering glance in my di- rection--a glance which apparently had but deepened his attention and increased the dignity of his demeanor.
 Remembering that he was not mere ly royal but pious also, made my sal utatlon at once courtier-lixe aud sane timonious.
 Good day to your majesty" said {; Gods good. God looks after his sery- ants"
 'De Lord is merciful," he answered gravely; God takes care of his chil- dren. Be seated, sar. and please ex- cuse my not rising; my rheumatism is a sore afFlictiQn to me"

I rapidly conveyed the coincidence and the difference-to Charlie. It struck me as odd, I'll admit, that our second start, in this respect. should be so like the first. Meanwhile, the young man was answering, or rather pleading, in a boyish way: Don't call me passenger I'll help work the boat. I'll tell the truth. heard-never mind how-about your trip. and I'm just nutty about buried treasure. Come, be a sport. We can let the old guv'nor know, somehow .. and it won't kill him to tear his hair for day or two. He knows I can take care of myself"
 Well! said Charlie, after thinking awhile in his slow way, well think it over. You can come along till the morning. Then I can get a good look at you. If don't like your looks we'll still be able to put you off at West End; and if I do-well-rlght-ho ! Now, boys" he shouted. "go ahead with the sails"
 Once more there was that ripping of the ropes through the blocks, as our mainsail rose up high against the moon and filled proudly with the steady northeast breeze we had been waiting for
 So two or three hours went by, as we plunged on, to the seething sound of the water, and the singing of our sails, and all the various rumor of wind and sea. After all, it was q good music to sleep to and, for all my scorn of sleeping landsmen, an irresistible drowsiness stretched me eout on the roof of the little cabin, wonderfully rocked into forgetfulness.
 My nap came to An end suddenly. as though some one had flung me out through door of blue and gold into a newborn world. There was the sun rising, the moon still on duty, and the morning star divinely naked in the heaven.

Charlie and ne evidently were on the best of terms already.
 Old Tom had been busy with break fast and soon the smells of coffee and freshly made "johnny-cake" and fry ing bacon competed not unsuccessfully with the various fragrances of the morning.
 Breakfast over, Charlie flied his pipe, assuming, as he did so, judicial aspect. flled mine and our young friend followed suit by taking a silver cigarette case from his pocket and striking match on the leg of his khaki knickerbockers with a profes- sional air.
 All set?" asked Charlie. and, after slight pause, he went on:

PUBLICITY OF JAP
ARTICLES REGRETTED

The series of special articles begun
Friday afternoon in a Portland daily
evening newspaper on the local Japan
ese situation has aroused considerable
protest. While it is admitted that
much land has been purchased by Jap
anese during the past year, citizens
deny that any influx of new japanese
residents has been apparent. The OBJ
jeetion raised to the articles is that
they give an exaggerated trend TO the
situation which is hurtful 10 the val
ley. Prospective home purchasers. it
is declared, have been frightened away
by the publicity.
We haven't had six new Japanese
in the valley this year," declared cit
izen Monday. ''and the series Of art
icles is to be regretted. am heartily
in favor of the recently organized anti
Asiatic Association, whose members
propose 10 prevent a condition which
the articles imply already exists.

Memorial Hospital Suggested

Local folk promoting a movement
for new county hospital, to accom-
modate patients of all the mid Colum-
bia Oregon and Washington districts,
advance the plan that the proposed
structure be dedicated as a monument
to the eight soldiers from the county
who made the supreme sacrifice while
in service.
While numerous suggestions have
been made as to county memorial.
only that one dedicating a Colubmia
gorge promontory at Ruthton hill to
the memory of the young men has ever
materialized. Those suggesting the
memorial hospital think their plans
will not conflict with the Ruthton hill
proposal.

Long Sweetening Again in Vogue

Hood River families have found it
necessary to resort to long sweetening,
as pioneers commonly referred to mo-
lasses. Coffee topers, used to their
morning cup well sweetened, must use
syrup or drink their mocha with cream
only. Last week only two grocers
were able to jar loose supplies of
sugar from Portland. The stocks have
been extremely meagre, and hardly
have they reached town before custom
ers, each receiving 25 cents worth, have
claimed them. The town is even
cleaned up of lump and brown sugar.

Motor Trucks May Aid Thieves

While the motor truck has been a
boon to local orchardists, enabling
them to transport their fruit to ship
ping points more quickly and economi-
cally than with horse. drawn vehicles, it
has provided growers with another
problem. Orchardists report that
numerous thefts of boxed fruit have
occurred in various districts within the
past week. 1t is believed that organ
lied thefts may have been committed
by men operating with motor trucks.

mains on the old basis of $20.6 per
ounce. But the cost of production has
not remained stationary. Many mines,
working low grade ore, have been
compelled to close down. Prohibitive
prices have prevented development OF
prospects.
The government is casting around
for means to simulate production of
the precious metal. Various measures
have been suggested. One that bears
particular merit is that of John Clan
sen who suggests that the United
States take over sixty-five per cent OF
the output for coinage and that the re-
maindef have an artificial price con-
siderably in excess of the coinage
value set upon it. This portion would
be devoted to jewelry and other orna-
mental purposes to which the metal is
commonly put.
To insure the success of this plan,
all coined gold must be taken from cir
cuiation. Else jewellers will melt the
coins for their uses. Being consider
ably cheaper than the supply alloted
them such practice would afford too
fine an opportunity for profit to pass.
And no legislation could prevent such
a practice.
In favor of the plan, it is urged that
the increased market value of con-
siderable portion of the gold output
would sufficiently stimulate produc-
ton to give the government all that
it could REQUIRE.
