A WlCHITAN'S QUEER STORY
For Two Years Out of His Mind
The Awakening i'm Colorado.

Wichita, Kan, July 2.-William
Harrison, leading groceryman here,
who disappeared very suddenly two
years ago and had not been heard
from since, returned yesterday. The
matter at the time created quite a
sensation. The theories about finan-
cial and domestic trouble all proved
to be untrue.
Harrison told his story last even
ing as follows: "I can only explain
my absence on the theory OF aberra-

A Yankee wonder.

When the new Herreshof torpedo
boat Gushing made twenty-five knots
an hour on her trial trip, her perform
ance was thought little less than mar
ve'ous. If the Cushing had been an
English or French or German craft,
that burst of speed would probably
never have been repeated, for the ex-
cellent reason that it could not be on
account of swift deterioration in hull,
boilers and machinery. But things
appear to be different IN America, for
the Gushing has now BEEN some
months in actual commission, and has
been improving with use, rather than
the opposite. One day recently the
little craft ran over the measured mile
on the Potomac river in one minute
and fifty-six seconds, or at the rate Of
twenty-six knots an hour-the highest
speed ever attained by torpedo boat
of any nation. If American builders
can thus break the worlds record on
their first attempt, what will they do
when they have had few years prac.

forgotten him.
As he crnssed the sand beaches he

man standing i'll the door of a cabin.

piled Mr.. Murray.
You are the man who is to tell us
of G cd" said the cd man.
II Will never preach of him again, T"
was the answer.
The fisherman, Thomas Potter, told
his story. He had been a sailor, but
had settled with his wife, twenty years
ago, on this coast. He could not read,
but his wife spelled out some verses
in the Bile.

something about God. Whenever a

The legend is that this strange
event brought the rebelious minister

Crackers Fresh From the O-en Are the
Only Kind to Eat.
Did you ever think what difference
there is in crackers? a stale cracker is
Just as much OF an abomination as stale
bread. Pittsburg people are great lovers
Of crackers, principally because they can
get the best that are made in the country
fresh from the ovens every day.
Pittsburg is one of the greatest cracker
baking towns in the world. The mammoth
Marvin establishment alone turns out
almost enough to keep the entire popula-
ton OF half dozen States eating "a hours
day
And there is this about the Marvin goods,
they can always be relied upon as being
thoroughly pure and fresh. The great
ovens are going constantly, and a score or
more of wagons are busy from morning till
night delivering the crackers to grocers in
the two cities. OF course, Pittsburg can
consume only small portion of the product
of the factory. The rest is shipped to al
most every State in the Union, for the fame
of Marvin's crackers is not merely local.
Everybody from Maine to California has
heard of them, and everybody who knows a
good cracker when he sees it wants to get
them. If you don't already use Marvin s
crackers, order some from your grocer. If
you try them once you will never want any
others.
Then there's bread, Palace bread. Have
you tried it? If you haven't, you ought to-
It's just about the finest thing in this line
in the market. Marvin's breads are baked
fresh every day. An army of wagons de-
livers them to the city trade and express
trains carry them to towns within reach all
over the western part of the State.
Ask your grocers for Marvin's Palace
bread and see if it isn't just about the nice
est thing you ever tasted. Tussu
