GARDENERS GREAT scHEME.

Puck
Gardeners neighbor had a rooster that
made Gardiner tired The sound waves
from Gardeners neighbours ROSTERS roost
dashed against GARDENERS bedroom win
dow and poured o nights till Gardiner
was flooded with trouble. The rooster
was not well regulated, and Gardiner
didn't like it. He-Gardiner'S neighbors
1ooster-did not merely crow in the night,
or in the morning, as a well regulated
rooster would be supposed to do, but he
crowed all night. Gardiner, being a man
of much acumen and forceful reasoning
power, sought to find a reason for the
distressing vagaries of the rooster Hav-
ing found the cause, Gardiner murmured
softly to himself he would remove said
cause, furtively or otherwise, if he had
to kill the rooster to do it.
Said Gardiner: This neighbor of mine
plays a trombone in a band; he is by
day an Italian shoemaker, making not
more noise than any other shoemaker;
but by night he plays IN the band which
fills the air with sound for those who dis
port themselves and reyel at unseemly
hours; he makes noise for noisy people:
full often have I, while awake listening
to his rooster at 2 o'clock in the morn
ing, heard him come home and enter his
abode.
If his abode had entered him, or the
rooster had shut up or any other strange
thing had happened, it would be easier
to figure this matter out; but still
do not despair. / believe there must be
some connection between the facts that
the Italian shoemaker makes noise late

Ward Residents.

Two vacancies occur. on the board of

precedent has established the custom
of remaining the incumbcnts, if they will
accept, the rule will in all probability be
broken this time.
DIR. Christian Fry and j. w. Waite are
the ones whose terms are about to ex-
pire, but it is hardly probable that the
latter official will be reappointed. Indi-
viduals and delegations, all residents of
the First ward have sought the ear OF
Mayor Smith industriously the past week
and their visit in each instance was for
the purpose of registering a protest
against the reappointment of Mr. Waite
According to the protests. the grew
ances of First and Second warders are
principally directed at Mr.. Yates activ-
ity in attempting to close the Cleveland
high school. A secondary. grievance Is
his advice to his eollea CUES to construct
additions to the Grant and Harrison
schools instead of constructing new
building, as proposed by the board
At number Of mass meetings Mr.
Waite was principally under discussion
and it was at these gatherings that the
determination to prevent his reapDoint-

ROOT DIGGING IN WEST VIRGINIA.

Baltimore Sun.
The digging of roots in Southern West
virginia at this season of the year is
one OF the most lively industries of the
mountainous region. Hundreds of peo-
pie can be seen from car windows on the
fast trains as they speed along over the
Norfolk q Western and Chesapeake &
OHIO railways with the seng, hoe and
huge bundles strapped about their backs
There is but little seng to be found, but
the yellow root and a dozen other kinds
are to be found in abundance, and some
dlgSefs are making from So to $40 per
cay gathering the commodity. YeSter-
DAY Two carloads of roots consigned to
Pttsburg and Cincinnati commission men

western IS.lway alone. Ginseng is bring
l1rf: from s. to 81 per pound in local mar
kets, and this makes it a much-coveted
article. The digging of roots is a rather
hazardous operation, however, for where
these commodities are found is found
the chief abode of many of the poisonous
reptiles of the mountains, especially the
deadly rattler and the coDperhead
yesterday near Alumwick Station on
the Norfolk & Western railway, Mrs
I.aNton, who was digging yellow root,
was bitten by a copperhead and tainted

but the third escaped
A number of others have been bitten,
but no deaths have been reported from
this cause this season.
The season for digging roots will con-
tinue until the middle of October, ana

Could Not Get strength From 1t.
An Episeopalian minister of Ellenville,
N. Y, who is interested not only in the
spiritual welfare of his congregation, but
in their physical well-being also, says:
ST can now do an immense amount of
work and feel no fatigue. for the reason
that I am using Grape-Nuts breakfast
food and have quit coffee entirely and am
using Postum Food Coffee.
Myself and family are all greatly i'm
p1 owed in health We have largely aban-
doned the use of white bread Upwards
of twenty-five persons have changed their
diet on my recommendation. 1t is gladly
given because I know, from personal ex-
perience, whereof l speak,
f 1t is we'll known fact that white bread
is almost entirely composed of starch,
and this is difficult of digestion by many
people. particularly those who have weak
intestinal digestion. The result of the
use of much white bread is lack of
brain and nervous power to do mental
work, and it also creates intestinal trou-
bles, because the excess of starch fer
ments in the intestines and makes the
conditions right for the growth of mi
crobes; whereas, Grape-Nuts breakfast
food contains the needed starch, but
in a predigested form. That is, it is
transformed into grape sugar in the
process of manufa cture, and delivered In
the packages, ready cooked, and in such
shape that it is Immediately assimilated
without hard work of the digestive or
gans.
The food also contains the delicate par
ticles of phosphate of potash which,
combined with albumen, is used by ma
ture to make the gray matter that must
be in the cells of the brain and the nerve
centers throughout the body, in order to
give strength and ability to stand long
and continuous work. Both the Postum
Food Coffee and Grape-Nuts are soldsby
all tirst-class grocers.

Over Last October.

The sensational reports which for sew
eral days have been af1oat to the effect
that the survey recently made between
Minnesota City and the Twin Cities was
for a new electric line between these
points, has been authoritatively denied.
A member of the surveying party, While
saying that he was under obligation not
to give out the name of the company for
whom the work was done, did emphatic
ally declare that it was not for an
electric line, but for a railroad. 1t was
further learned that the railroad COM
pany for which the route was surveyed
has its headquarters in st. Paul. and
railroad officials who are in a good POSI-
ton to guess correctly intimate that the
railroad in question is none other than
the Great Western. The route surveyed
is one which contains number of diff
fcult grades, and passes through a coun-
try the nature Of which would make the
erection of an electric line almost an
impossibility. The cost of laying out the
readbed will be very great, but it would
be very valuable for railroad purposes.
Fhis is supposed to be one of number
of lines being projected by the Great
Western to the end of increasing their
system in Minnesota. The survey has
been completed, but no work has as yet
been commenced.
