HORSE SUCKED.
Rider Severely Hurt.

A Cincinnati man visiting in Texas, or a ranch, was thrown from a horse and go severely injured that his life was despaired of. He takes pride in telling how food saved his life. The heavy drugs given seriously injured his stomach and as he says ''It seemed would soon have to starve in the midst of plenty. My stomach refused to digest food and I ran down from 165 to 19G bounds. When my appetite failed was ready to give up, and it looked as though I would soon wink out
 One morning the foreman's daughter brought in what she called splendid food and it turned out to be Grape Nuts. A little skeptical I ate it and found it was good, and just the kind of food I could keep on my stomach which had been almost burned out by the vile drugs.
 I felt that I had obtained a new lease of life for improvement set in at once. week later I was weighed and had gained two pounds. My weight has since steadily increased by the constant use of Grape-Nuts, and l am now better than I have been in years, as my friends will all testify.
 Tn all kinds of athletic sports I notice T have a greater reserve force than for smerly. for which I am indebted to Grape Nuts Taken in moderation it is the greatest food of it's kind in the world, being equally well adapted to athletes and invalids."

Hyperion Theater.

| 'NpeIRoh THE KINGS CARNIVAL AT THE
 HYPERION.

 There will be a matinee to-day as well as the evening performance. Seats on sale. Prices $1.50 $1, 75c. Henry Miller returns with "D'Arcy of the Guards" to the Hyperion on Thanksgiving matinee and night. While this is less than two months since his former appearance here in this play, it is what the local management has been endeavoring eagerly to arrange. and the proximity of this city to New York, and the postponement of MT. Mill lers opening date to one week later at the New Savoy theater in that city, have made it possible After the pre- vious appearance, and the very favora- ble criticisms given MT. Miller and his play by the press of this city, many expressions of a desire to have it re- turn were heard, as also the general comment that it was teh most enjoya- be play he had ever presented here. There is but little dollbt that, aside from showing the versatility of MT. Miller's histrionic talencs, the character of Major Jack D'Arcy is quite as con- genial to his many admirers as any in which that gifted actor has been seen here. Seats are in good demand for both performances. Prices $1.50, s1, 75c.
 At the White Horse Tavern" Syd- ney Rosenfeld's successful comedy adapted from the German I'm Weissen Roess'P' will be seen at the Hyperion next Saturday night. There will be bargain matinee at which prices will be 25c, soc.

Tuberculosis, complicated with a seri- ous heart trouble worked quick havoc in q naturally wiry constitution, and though given the best of medical care, as good nursing as could be hired and everything that friends and home com fort could do to help her, there seemed to be no possible stay in the dread dis ease.
 Mrs. Hgley leaves one little boy. Don aid Ives, two years old, her husband and a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn her loss. She was a graduate of Wooster school, New Ha- ven, and of the State Normal school, and taught in East Haven public school two years (1S96-'9S).
