The Value of Ignorance.

Ignorance Of evil protects the young.
Many specific forms OF evil thought
and action would pass out Of the minds
of men and never come again If once
they could be forgotten. A love Of
virtue may be all the stronger in a
youth because his imagination has new
er been marred and defiled by the rec
ord of sin.-Christian Register.

The Jefferson was filed last night by
well pleased audience who witnessed
one Of the best performances ever given
IN this theatre by any company MIR.
Payton as Capt. Redwood, the detective,
was seen in his best part. Miss Reed as
the wife who was gained by fraud by
Jim the Penman was most satisfactory
and Mr.. Toler as Jim the Penman, the
forger, who while enjoyingsthe best pros
perlty still continued to forge and was
finally discovered was the hest part ever
played by him. The bill this afternoon
will be the roaring farce comedy, The
Private Secretary, the funniest farce ever
written and tonight the farce A Gigantic
Liar.

PASTY FOOD
Too Commonly Used.

The use Of pasty cereals is not advis-
able. A physician says: "pasty cereals
arc very indigestible and bad thing for
the stomach, causing depressed feeling
ana quite train Of disorders, particular
y OF the intestines and nerves.
Cereals, such as wheat and oats, can
be cooked long enough and well enough
to 1T them for human use but the ordin-
aFy way Of cooking leaves them in a pasty
condition"
A gentleman from Evansville, Ind +,
whose name can be secured upon applica :
tion to the Postum Cereal Co., Ltd,
Battle Greek, Mich, says: my
physician prohibited the use of oats and
wheat for I was in bad condition
physically, with pronounced dyspepsia
lie said the heavy paste was indigestible
but that Grape-Nuts, being a thoroughly
cooked food and cooked in such a manner
as to change the starch into grape sugar,
could be easily digested. 1 have become
very fond indeed of Grape-Nuts and all
1ne uncomfortable feelings have disap-
peared. | have gained nearly twelve
pounds in weight and have none of the
distressed fun feeling after my meals

That night at nine O'Clock he started

But to fail, what theD? Well, the par

| New Orleans parish.
Sunday found him in PIttsburg, six
hours there he lost;
And the thought of being missed out OF
New York, haunted him most.
Should he not regain the hours lost,
Yarmouth will boast
OF his party's defeat, Grants overthrow,
and the notification OF the Acts of
legislation,
Haunted Pinchbaok more and more;
Drops Of perspiratien were on his face
Issuing from every pore
The train moved on, suddenly the rs.
pidity ceased,
Now Pinohbssk's presentiment of q
coming evil was on the Increase.
His mission meant victory for his party
for the Negro peace!
Up went the train on the mountain
side, then down little bill;
Now and then signal was blown for
burg or willie.
CINCINNATI! another six hours lost, and
Pinchback's blood ran chill!
Terror was depicted on his face, 1t was
as bloodless as cloth.
But amidst his trouble he murmured,
''oh could l, I tut regain these twelve

But he was awakened from that trou-

There's message in the office for

Warm outh's plan worked well, stopped
Plnchback in the midst cf his ride.

be saw Pinchback's face.

"You're in the wrong place."
'lnchback hastened to the door, shook

Jndaunted, he jumped through the
window,

and thus his plans were Knocked.
