He sat watching curiously the many men who entered and departed from a hotel lobby; and turning to a companion, he asked with some tinge of bitterness these questions:
 Why does the man with the ugliest mouth shave his upper lip?
 Why does the man with the uglest legs wear the tightest trousers?
 Why does the fattest man wear the light est-colored clothes?
 Why does the smallest man smoke the largest cigars?
 Why does any espectable-looking man whistle in public places?
 Why is the laziest man the most energet- ic bore?
 1iWhy does the man dead-broke insist up on settling the money problem?
 Why does the man with the most un- shapely foot persist in sticking it up in the only vacant seat?
 Why doesn't the fool-killer attend to his business?
 The flow of "whys" was stopped by a fat person asking the questioner if, in his hon. est opinion, the weather was hot enough for him? There was the sound of big D, followed by hurrying footsteps, and the fool in the next seat whistled that he was ''bred in old Kentucky" which called forth the satirical remark from another that the whistler was mush in Alabama.

SAID TO HAVE
PAID MONEY To
FIX" HER CASE
Ruby Raymond Sur
renders Herself.

Ruby Raymond, the woman from san
Jose whose bonds of 900 were declared
forfeited by Judge Mogan Tuesday be-
cause she failed to- make her appearance
in court surrendered herself to the
police yesterday morning.
She told two or three tales as to why
she mad not appeared in court. One was
that John Madden, teamster IN the en-
ployment of E. Martin & Co.. wholesale
liquor men, had got $3.50 from her Monday
night to fix the case so that she would
not have to appear in court. Then she
told other tales, but Judge Mogan, on
being Informed as to Madden, issued
bench warrant for his arrest and he will
have to appear in court this morning TO
explain. Attorney Mack. who is defend
ing the woman in conjunction with Louis
O'Neal Of San Jose, says that Madden
brought her to his office Monday night
and she paid him $50 as part of his fee
of $3.50. Any talk of fixing the case
so far as Mack is concerned, he declares
absurd, as he told the woman that on the
contrary the case was very strong one
against her.
The woman is charged with taking
Nathalie Danforth and Daisy Miller,
two girls under IS years of age to her
house IN San Jose for immoral purposes
without the consent of their parents or
guardians. The charges were altered
yesterday to come under section 267 of
the Penal Code; and when they were
called in court the defendants attorney
pleaded hard for a continuance, as they
had been unable to subpoena their wit
nesses. The Judge held that although
the section under which the charges were
made had been, changed. the facts were
the same and he did not think the de-
fendant was entitled to a continuance. as
she had ample time to get her witnesses,
but he would continue the case after
hearing the witnesses for the prosecu-
ton, so that the defense might get their
witness. Maude Burdette then testified
to having met the defendant in this city
and arranging with her to send the two
girls to San Jose. The case was con-
tinued till tomorrow.
order declaring the bonds given for the
defendants appearance forfeited. but the
Judge would only agree to stop proceed

Prison, as the Judge ordered that she
should be held without bail.

A TANGLED CASE.
Three Men of the Same Name Figure
in Story of RnhherY

peculiar case came under police OBJ
servation yesterday. and it is now in such
a tangled condition that the officers do
not know what to make of 1t. 1t is one
of alleged robbery, and apparently three
men of the same name figure in it.
Yesterday afternoon John La Grange
called at police headquarters and stated
that he had been robbed of considerable
money and valuables by two men repre-
senting themselves as police officers.
He stated that he was asleep in house
AT S07 Pacific street and that short time
after u O'Clock on Tuesday night both of
the fake officers entered his room. One
of them drew a revolver and forced him
TO hand over S14 in coin, diamond ring
and a silver watch. Detective Wren was
detailed on the case and he located man
by the name of John La Grange in the
house at the above address, but this party
disclaims all stories of any robbery. The
detective also ascertained that another
man of the identical name had been found
in a drunken condition on Bacon place at
about o'clock yesterday morning and
locked up in police station. This latter
"a Grange was released as soon as he was
sober. The detective is still working on
the case and expects to secure additional
light upon 1t to-day.

Untiring in Strength
Former Invalid
RESTORED BY
GRAPE-NUTS
FOOD.
A RATIONAL FOOD CURE.

One Of the well-known grocers in
Washington, D. c., who supplies the
food of many of the brainy, represen-
tative men of the country saws: "I
have become an enthusiastic consumer
Of Grape-Nuts. 1t has constituted
solely my morning and evening meal
for the past eight months. Previous
TO this, worn out with overwork. broken
down in health, dyspepsia having led
to Bright's disease, heart trouble and
what not 1 was given up to die. This
food came to my notice through one of
my customers. The name suggested
something in the dessert Iine-dried
fruit, prunes, raisins or the like, and
when I put it in the store a glance at
the label persuaded me TO make trial
personally.
II had at the store for my supper a
dish and a half dish, and was i'm
pressed, perhaps unfavorably, with it's
richness, perceiving at the same time
how very appropriately the new food
was named. Strange as it may appear,
it's effect was almost at once apparent
Seated that evening at my home / re-
marked to the family that it was the
first time in a whole year that 1 had
felt like myself. I was much elated and
naturally attributed the change to
Grape Nuts. My Improvement since
then has been continuous, my health is
better than ever before, look ten years
younger and am untiring in strength. -
(The gentleman does not care to have
his name quoted publicly, but his store
can be found at 726 Eighteenth street,
washington, D. O.
Now for the reason. The man. or
woman worn out with overwork or
nervous prostration will Ind an i'm
mediate gain in strength by the use Of
Grape Nuts and cream, because Of the
fact that the natural phosphate Of
potash obtained from certain parts Of
the grains is one of the strong ele-
ments in Grape Nuts, and this is pre-
sented to the system in the form de-
manded by nature; not as drug.
The system takes up the needed
particles of phosphate of potash and it
is now known that the soft gray mat
ter which fills the delicate nerve CEN
ters throughout the body as we'll as
the brain and the solar plexus, can
only be made and renewed from day to
day by the action of phosphate OF
potash on albumen. Albumen is one
of the principal elements OF all food,
but unless albumen has with IT in the
system a sufficient amount of phos-
phate of potash it cannot be trans
formed into brain matter without the
action Of this particular element, for
there is no known way to make gray
matter except by the combination of
albumen and phosphate Of potash
Therefore, when one uses Grape
Nuts he makes use of the best scien-
tifc knowledge of the day in the selec-
ton of food for invigorating and
revitalizing the body. This food has
become famous throughout the world,
and it is to be found in every first
class grocery store. Grape-Nuts are
made by the Postum Co. at their fac
tories in Battle Creek.

The spectators who crowded Judge Og-
denis courtroom this morning to listen to
the trial of Jane Hodges $4,000 breach
of promise damage suit against the aged
capitalist, John Nicholl, were sadly dis
appointed in their hunger or thirst for
sensation.
No sooner had the jury been polled. and
juror o. C. Hyatt reprimanded by the
court for being tardy on account of the
absence of a clock at his home, than Ma
jor ]. B. Mhoon, chief counsel for the de-
fendant, sprung a surprise by moving for
continuance. Major Mhoon declared
that his aged client had been seized with
a fainting spell yesterday after court had
adjourned. He went on to recite that Mr..
Nicholl had collapsed at the office OF DIR.
E. H. Woolsey while the latter was con-
ducting an examination on the capitalist.
The result of the examination, 1t is un-
derstood, was to have played an important
part at the sensational trial.
To support the motion DR.. Eastman of
Berkeley was called TO testify that he
had afterward been called TO treat Mr
Nichol, and later DR.. Frank Adams,
the family physician, was called in. Dr.
Adams was also called as witness, and
testified that the capitalist was resting
at his home comfortably, but that an

There will be no bill filed with the coun-

The Berkeley undertakers complained
that the order that was given them by

Coroner. The complaint was read to the
board and filed with the county expert
