FAMOUS AROUND CAMP FIRE.
Grape-Nuts Ready Cooked, Delicious and
NourIshInE-F Camping.


NourIshInR-F Camping.
People going into camp should not
forget to take along a goodiy supply
of Grspe-Nuts, the ready-cooked food.
This can be eaten dry and does not
require any preparation by the cook,
or the food can be made into a varie-
ty of delightful dishes, such as pud-
dings, etc.
One of the favorite methods by old
timers is to drop three or four heap
ing teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts into a
cup of coffee. The Grape-Nuts add a
peculiar and delicious flavor to the
coffee and give one a more piquant
article of food than even the famous
doughnuts and coffee of old New
England.
People who cannot digest coffee
should not forget that Postum Food
Coffee, if properly made, furnishes a
very delicious beverage, either hot
or cold, closely approaching the flavor
OF the mild and delicious grades of

wilkinson, Starnagle and McGrew
Melted two runs. Hackett famed with
the bases full and Brady's grounder
was handled by Hughes, Arthur and
Mullaney for double. In the sixth
there was more of the same kind.
Wilkinson popped to Hoy and Star
nagle famed. but McGrew broke the
spell by walking and stealing. Hack
EFT handed a phony bouncer over TO
Davis and an error resulted, with a
score to boot. Brady hit it out and
Carter's 2-bsse hit brought two runs.
Richardson flew TO Hopkins. 10 the
ninth the matter was cinched
past all redemption. Three straight
hits by Carter, Richardson and
Walters brought in two tallies.

No one really expected Rock Island
would win against the fast and furi
Gus "Huts." playing tooth and toe
nail to cinch the pennant. but the
very respectable turnout of fans who
went to see yesterdays game did not
witness an exhibition of yellow ball
playing for all that. With the eX-
ception of two easy passes to first the
visitors worked for what they got.
The locals had the advantage in the
number of hits, but the visitors had
the advantage in timeliness. While
the latter were possibly trifle faster
in the field the former did little to be
ashamed of. Davis, the amateur
from Davenport who played short
with the red men for time,
was on third in place of O'Brien, and
filled the position acceptably, doing
some very good work and making
one eXcusable error.
Rock Islands scores came in groups
of one each. in the third, fourth and
sixth innings. In the third, after
Arthur floeted over &c center. Hughes
pounded out a safe one and scored on
bits by Middleton and Rebsamen, Hoy
in the meantime popping up. The
side went oct when Tate grounded to
Hackett. In the third two beautiful
g. base hits by Mullaney and Arthur
Melted one, the outs being made by
Hopkins, Davis and Hughes. In the
sixth Mullaney famed and Davis went
out on a grassy one. Hopkins got
MS optic on the sphere of yarn and
spun out a 2-bagger and scored on p
hit by Arthur. Hughes was also
good for hit, but Hoy went out on
long fly that, if aimed triHe lower,
would have cleared the fence and
caused the score board to wear diff
Z srent expression.

BRADLEY'S BIG BILL,
He Wants Nearly Two Thousand Dol
 lars Ont of the Stafe

He Wants Nearly Two Thousand Dol
 lars Out of the State.
 Within the past few weeks, says the Hartford Courant, Captain Oscar L. Bradley of Meriden has been seen quite frequently in the Capitol. It is not too much to assume that the fate of the resolution to appropriate $1,9OO to him on account of the court martial has had something to do with his presence in the corridors. Some peo- pie have been wondering why such q large sum as $500 has been named in the resolution. They cannot imag inc what expense Captain Bradley in cured, in defending his case. which would warrant the appropriation of $1,9OO to him as an indemnity. Cap tain Bradley is a mechanic, working in one of the factories in Meriden. For the time he was absent from his work in attendance on the court mar tial he received $143.25, or pay at the rate of $4.93 per day, which is cap tain's pay. It is not pretended that at this rate of wages he suffered any pecuniary loss in being obliged to ab- sent himself from the factory. His witnesses were subpoenaed by the state and their fees paid out of the state treasury. The fees of all the wit neSSeS on both sides amounted 10 $352.40. From these figures it will be seen that Captain Bradley lost nothing in attending the court martial instead of working at the bench. It is very probable that the temporary change in occupation was rather a financial bene- fit to him. Nor did he sacrifice his position in the factory. It was kept open for him, and today he is filling it to the satisfaction of his employers, as he has always done. Perhaps he was at some trouble in finding witnesses before they were subpoenaed, but this trouble could not have been very serl- ous or expensive, since practically all of them lived in Neriden, and at any rate $1OO would be a generous com pensation to him for any trouble in the securing of witnesses. The only expense which Captain Bradley appar- ently incurred. that has not been paid by the state, is his lawyers bill. The judge advocate, who prosecuted, was paid only $3sO by the state for his ser vices. However, Captain Bradley may have facts and figures to present to the committee in support of his claim which will leave no doubt in the minds of the members of the commit tee that it is a just one, and that it ought to be paid. But these facts and figures are not now apparent to every one.
