WHEN GARFIELD LAY DYING
A Pathetic Incident of His Removal
10 Long Branch.


\ pathetic incident is related apropos
of the day OF fasting and prayer which
was appointed by all the governors Of
the United States at the time President
Garfield was removed from Washing
ton to Long Branch in the hope that
the change might help him to recover
from the bullet wounds inflicted by
Guits3u.
Crete" said the president to his
brave little wife about IL on that
Thursday morning as the ringing
strokes from the belfry of the Episco-
pal church almost across from the cot
tage reached his ears, ''what are they
ringing that bell forT'
"That?" said Mrs. Garfield, who had
been waiting for the surprise. That's
the church where we we're when you
first came down. They're all going TO
pray for you TO get WELL" and, falling
on her knees, she said, "And I'm going
to pray, too. james, that it may be
soon. for know already that the other
prayer has been heard"
From where he lay Garfield could see
the carriages draw up and group after
group go in. he could even hear the
subdued refrain of Jesus. Lover of My
Soul as it was borne by on its heaven
ward way. Thrilled with emotion. a
tear trickled down the presidents face.
Then he closed lis eyes and turned bis
face as & sweet wOman's voice arose
singing from one OF Sir Michael Costa's
oratorios. Turn thou unto me and
have mercy upon me-" sang the voice
for am desolate-I am desolate and
afflicted; the troubles of my heart arc
enlarged. oh, bring thou me out of my
distresses-out OF my distresses--my
God"
The people in the church sat almost
spellbound under the voice, for the
singer was affected deeply and made II
seem to ALL what it must have been tC
her, prayer in music.

When Il student begins to break
down from lack of the right kind of
food. there are only two things to do,
either take him out of school or feed
him properly on food that Will re-
build the brain and nerve cells. That
food is Grape-Nnts.
\ boy writes from jamestown, y.
Y. saying: "a short time ago l got
into a bad condition from Overstudy,
but mother having heard about
Grape-Nuts Food began to feed me
on it. 1t satisfied my hunger better
than any other food, and the results
were marvellous. I got fleshy like n
good fellow. My usual morning head
aches disappeared, and l found l
could study for a long period with
out feeling the effects of it.
After l had been using Grape-Nuts
Food for about two months L felt
like n new boy altogether. My face
had been pale and thin, but is now
round and has considerable color. l
have gained greatly in strength as
well as flesh. and it is a pleasure to
study now that 1 am not bothered
with my head. l passed all of my
examinations with reasonably good
percentage, extra good in some of
them. and it was Grape-Nuts that
saved me from years delay i'll en-
tering college.
Father and mother have both been
improved by the use of Grape-Nuts
Food. Mother was troubled with
sleeplcss nights, and got very thin,
and looked care worn. She has
gained her normal strength and looks
and sleeps well nights."-D E.

Total of Over 10000 Left in the
Ohice--A Lively Con-
test.

The interest manifested by the
boys and girls in The Argus propO-
sition for the disposing of third
ticket to the opening performance
at the new Illinois theatre, was man
ifested yesterday by the receipt of
over 10000 Argus headlines under the
terms of the contest. The counting
of the heads gave The Argus business

The winner of the contest was Jul
ian Lamp, of 1929 Second avenue. lie
brought in a grand total of 2.36O
headings. The next six highest in
the order named were Alice Carse,
ZIG Fourth avenue, 1884 heads; Will
lie Hofer, South Rock Island, 1,172
heads; Will Frank, 9O5 Twenty-first
street, 1.Os0 heads; Regenia Blake,

to the theatre ticket that went to
Julian Lamp under the terms of the

Young Folks Show Enterprise.
AS has been explained from time to
time, the plan for the disposal of the
third ticket to the opening perform
ance at the new theatre was espe-
cially arranged to give the young
folks free hand, and the result has
been larger response than was an
ticipated. The time for the collec-
ton of the headings opened Monday
evening, week ago, and closed at 6
last evening. No headings were re-
ceived till yesterday and the result
was u volume of paper strips that at
times threatened to bury those who
were attending to counting them.
The enterprise shown by the girls,
especially, was something of a sur
prise, they having probably collected
more headings during the week than
the boys who were engaged in the
contest. The ticket was sent to the
successful candidate today.

ARABI PACHA TO BE LIBERATED.
The Egyptian Leaders Long Exile In
 Ceylon Soon to be Ended.

It is announced that Ashmed el Arabi, better known as Arabi Pacha. who headed the revolt in 1882 in Egypt against the foreign control of that country, and has been for the last eighteen years a prisoner of the Brit ish government in Ceylon. is about to be allowed to return to his country.
 He now speaks English, and his chil- lies, have received a good education. and most of them have found employ ment under the Egyptian government. Arabi's great desire is to end his life in the home where he was born in the last days of the greatest ruler Egypt ever had in modern times, the khedlve Mehemit Ali. Two of his fellow exiles. Ismail and Tewfik, lie buried near each other in Egypt in the mosque which was begun by the mother of the former but which sshe did not live to see fin- ished.
 Things have greatly changed in Egypt since 1882, and the British gov ernment runs 10 risk in liberating the man whose na1ne was the rallying cry net only of the Egyptians, but of the Arabs generally who had conferred on him the significant title of Fl Arabi, in the belief that he was destined to re- vlve the glory of their race.
