 TdUh Nlblcls Nilp iS m 'iiN NV"'AN' iail at Birmingham, Ala, under sentence of death, is not unknown in Indianapolis, where he lived for some time. Miller was convicted on the charge of killing Pa trolman Adams of Birmingham, but de- clares he is innocent of the charge and demands a new trial. His effort to arouse popular sympathy and obtain financial assistance to enable him to escape the death penalty is in the nature of an end- less chain. The chain was begun several days ago, and the result is that letters containing dimes are being forwarded to the prisoner.
 "On the day of the great Bowen-Merrill fire, March 1T, 1890, when several tiremen were killed and others were taken to the City Hospital, suffering from injuries Miller was a convalescent patient in the institution He had been there for sev- eral weeks and was able to hobble about the place when the injured fire men arrived One of them. w. G. Tal- lentire, now chief telephone operator at fire headquarters, was expected to die. and Miller devoted his time as nurse. So attentive did he become that the ser- vices of the regular nurses were dis pensed with, and during the fireman's s long weeks of suffering which followed, Miller was constantly at his bedside. Tallentre has always said that Miller saved his life.
 Several years afterward, when both men had recovered, they talked about their experiences while seated about the fire houses. Later Miller disappeared form the city. Now comes a letter to Tallentire from the condemned prisoner in which he begs that something be done to assist him in raising money to employ attorneys for new trial The case Is at tracting the attention of many of the large newspapers in the East, Miller is a soldier of fortune, about fifty years old. and nearly all his life he has sailed the seas In the navies of different coun- tries, and not a few times in foreign countries he has served as a private sol- dier in the ranks"

he FLOWER OF
THE HOLY GHOST.

One Of the rarest and most wonderful
orchids known Is a native of the Isthmus
Of Panama. The early Spanish settlers
there named 1t Flor del Espiritu Santo
Flower of the Holy Ghost), and those
who have seen it readily understand why
1t grows in marshy places from de-
cayed log, or sometimes from the crew
ice In a rock. The leaf stalk reaches sew
eral feet in height, and the flower stalk
which grows from the bulb, bears IL or
Is buds.
The flower is pure white, and is shaped
Something like our jack-in-the-pulpit. In
side the flower, right in the heart of It,,
is a perfect image of dove, with droop-
ing wings, snowy breast gold-tinted head
and crimson beak. No effort of the mag
ination is necessary to see the resem-
blance. 1t is a perfect image, exquisitely
beautiful in tints and giving off an odor
that no perfumer could initiate.
The Spaniards named 1t the Flower OF
the Holy Ghost" and regarded it with SUI
perstitious awe, but the native Indians,
more superstitious still, worshiped 1t ike
an idol. and would not let the ground on
which II grew be touched.

KNOWLEDGE OF FOOD.
Proper Selection of Great Importance
in Summer.

The feeding of infants is very serious
proposition, as all mothers know. Food
must be used that will easily digest, or
the undigested parts will be thrown into
the intestines and cause sickness.
1t is important to know that a food can
be obtained that is always safe; that is
Grape-Nuts.
A mother writes: MY baby took the
first premium at baby show on the Sth
inst and is in every way a prize baby. 1
have fed him on Grape-Nuts since he was
five months old. also use your Postum
Food Coffee for myself" Mrs. L. f.
Fishback. Alvin, Tex.
Grape Nuts food is not made solely for
a baby food by any means, but is manu-
featured for all human beings who have
trifiing or serious difficulties in the stom-
ach and bowels.
One especial point of value is that the
food is predigested in the process of man
ufacture, not by any drugs or chemicals
whatsoever, but simply by the action Of
heat, moisture and time, which permits
the diastase to grow and change the
starch into grape-sugar. This presents
food to the system ready for immediate
assimilation.
Its especial value as a food, beyond the
fact that II is easily digested, is that it
supplies the needed elements to quickly
rebuild the cells in thte brain and nerve
centers throughout the body.
