SOME INTERESTING POINTS
FOR THE WISE AND
" A'h'

From our regular CORES pondeut.l
While the writer was passing
through the National Cemetery at
Arlington, Va, few days since. his
attention was attracted by verse
from O'lIara's famous "'Bivouac of
the Dead" which started off "Rest
on, embalmed and salnted dead
etc. Since the Cuban soldiers have
been inferred in this cemetery, his
verse has special significance which
was probably never intended by the
author.
Tom Reeds political retirement
probably means that he will be n
candidate for the Presidency next
year. He is evidently aware of the
fact that he cannot remain in Con.
gress and be elected President too.
This schem. at supposed salary of
fifty thousand dollars = year, will
probably give him 4 chance at the
presidency.
The crew of the cruiser Raleigh
has presented Helen Gould three
flags as token of their esteem for
her valuable service. There were
thousands of poor women who left
homes fairly comfortable to go on
the fields of battle and care for the
wounded, but We do not recall a
single instance where any of them
have been awarded flags, gold medal,
or anything else in recognition O
their valuable service either by shIl
crews or Congress.
From the way things are going
now, it seems that Pa. cigar com
panies will have troubles of their
own in short time for using bogus
revenue stamps. Several arrests
have been made and others will fol
low.
AS a proof that crook does not
necessarily have to be poor man,
we mighC cite the case of former
United States District Attorney,
lngham, who is now under arrest
charged with being one of the gang
who was engaged IN a gigantic
scheme to defraud the United States
Government by the manufacture of
spurious revenue stamps, and bogus
silver certificates.

MRS. l.. NJ. KNOWLES.

The many friends of Mrs. L. NJ Knowles
will be very sorry indeed to learn of her

a very popular teacher not only With the
parents of her pupils but in the circles Of
society in which she moves.
She has been Portland teacher for the
past eight years and will be greatly

10 speak of her character too highly
would be impossible. for she was trust
worthy and ever faithful friend, and
Portland people will find that they can
not readily get another teacher that will
be as well liked as Mrs. Knowles. About
a year ago she was offered very tine
position, but, not liking to leave her
friends behind, she did not accept
She has accepted position as instruc-
tress in English, music and history in
a Boston grammar school and will soon
have as large circle of friends in Boston
as she left in Portland.

son about six years old who has been
kept In the country with an aunt good

half lifeless condition.
This last summer when the little chap
returned home, he was round, fat and
hearty, but when he sat down to his faith

Toes and demanded Grape Nuts, the ready
rocked food.
The grocer knew about Grape-Nuts,
md had been selling them over his count

hem at his own table. 1t was found
upon inquiry that the boy began to i'm
prove as soon as he was put on Grape
Nuts by his aunty, and that the evidence
Of the value of the food was shown by
his condition.
1t Is needless to say the grocer supplied
Grape -Nuss to his little boy, without
further question, and the entire family
