and later on I bade him and the officer goodbye. The cattle thief, of course, paid the penalty of his crime. He said that, Knowing a tracker would be put upon impression that he had drowned while swimming the river.
 Aanother entertaining experience with me was my journey with Bloko. Rloko was favorite of the government. hav- ing been employed by the Victorian po- lice on a number of cases. He was af- ter a couple of absconders,, headed for the border when joined him and Officer Gervin of the Glen lnnes Police Depart ment Bloko, like all trackers, could climb trees like an ape and was a fine athlete, having wonderful endurance. the efforts of the fleeing men to disconcert Bloko amused him very much. For ex- ample, they had for some distance trav- eled on horseshoes, one walking behind the otfer to initiate the steps naturally taken by horse. Then one had car ried the other to disguise the fact that two persons had gone over the ground. readily confused, if not deceived, the average man. After fifty miles of hard tracking through gorges and forest jun gles we-that Is to say. the tracker and the officer-captured their men.
 Trackers have a horror of travelling af- ter dark. being constantly in fear of meeting the Bunyib, a fearful monster with glaring eyes, which they believe to be the spirit of an old aboriginal king who roams around swampy land at night to catch black men. You can frighten tracker out of his wits by telling him you will send the Bunyib after him. They also believe that a giant lives on moun- tain tops waiting to kill them with a club. Hence they never sleep on top of mountain or near a swamp, always pitching their brush tents or minis" on dry, level patch. Their only re- ligious belief is that a huge god who has been lying asleep for ages will some time awake and eat up the whole world.
 Their pet dish Is carpet snake, the fatter the better, cooked on hot stones after being skinned. I have never eaten of this. as may be imagined. but have seen 1t prepared.
 For amusements sake I have paid diff ferent trackers a sixpence to track me from a certain point. and have found 1t impossible to elude them.

GAS AND TROUBLE. Comes From White Bread,

While it is true that We build I'D the body from food, it is also true that diff ferent kinds of food have different effects on the body and produce different re- suits
 For instance, 1t is absolutely impossible to live on white bread alone, for 1t con tains almost nothing but starch, and an excess of white bread produces gas and trouble in the intestines, while, at the same time, the other clements required by the body for building up brain and nerve centers as well as muscular tissue, have been left out of the white bread and we see from experience the one trying to live on white bread alone grad ualIy fails in mental and nervous power as well as less in muscle.
 Such a diet could not be kept up long without fatal results. A lady in Jackson vile, Fla, was crippled by an accident two years ago. Being without the power of exercise, an old stomach trouble that was hers for years became worse, and 1t was serious question regarding food that she could digest.
 A physician put her on Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food with some remarkable results. She says now that, not only is she able to do big days work. because of the strength of her brain and nerves, but that she has finally thrown away her crutches because the muscles of her limbs have gradually grown stronger since she began the use of Grape-Nut and now she is practically well and can go about without trouble, nOtwithstand- ing the fact that it was said she would never be able to walk again. So much for eating the right kind of food instead of remaining an invalid and cripple be- cause of the lack of knowledge of the kind of food to use to bring one back to health.

Miss Fannie Brown of Montgomery, was in a thrilling runaway accident in Atlanta Wednesday evening, and the re- markable composure and presence oi mind of her friend Mrs. Charles A. Bowen, probably saved Miss Brown, her aunt, Mrs. W. s. Foster. whom she is visiting and Mrs. Clarence Everett from death or serious accident.
 The party of ladies were driving in a carriage when the horses became fright ened and ran away. The driver was thrown from the carriage box and the frightened animals were stopped by Mrs. Bowen who soothed them with her voice.
 Yesterdays Atlanta Journal tells the story as follows:
 By leaning from the window or car riage while it was going at breakueck speed through the streets or Atlanta and talking to two horses that were WIG with fright, Mrs. Charles A Bowen formerly Miss Lucille Milan, prousns the three blocks of their starting point, probably saving her own life and the lives of three ladies who were in the
 a After assisting the ladies to alight from the carriage, Mrs. Bowen ran around to the heads of the horses and stood talking to them as she swung 10 their brides until several men came 70 the rescue and took charge of the ani- mals. When Mrs. Bowen had given the men charge of the horses they again be- came frightened and as she was not pres ent upon the second occasion to quiet them with her voice they again ran, this time breaking the carriage into splinters, rolling down an embankment and resulting in the death of one Of the animals. , in ouieting two wild horses by talking to them and the exhibition of her equally as noteworthy presence of mind and courage, occurred last night about o'clock on Edgewood Avenue.

 While this thrilling experience of Miss Brown in Atlanta marred her happiness for the moment her stay in the Georgia city as the guest of Mrs. Foster is being marked with many happy events. The issue of The Atlanta Journal which mar rates the story of the runaway also an nounces that Miss Brown will be the honored guest this afternoon at a large card party which Mrs, Clifford Wilson and Mrs. Mccullough will give at the res idence of Mrs. Nym Mccullough on West Baker Street.

Woman's Home Companion.
 To the all-imDortant question of bridal rousseau the Fiji belle of three decades ago gave little thought. A fringe of hibiscus fibre about the loins supple mented by garlands of bright-hued flow CTS about the head, neck and arms full filled all the requirements of Polynesian fashion. Then came a day when this promitive simplicity was succeeded on festal occasions by an oppressive weight of magnificence. Bride and bridegroom alike were literally swathed from head to foot. The material used was the "tapa" or native cloth made from the inner bark of the paper mulberry tree. As in those days certain colors and dec orative designs were reserved for the aristocracy. an educated onlooker could by a single glance determine the social status of the matrimonial candidates. The tapa. besides being rolled about the body in so many folds that the victim was simply a walking bale of stun, was also so arranged that a huge pannier was formed of the various loops and folds at the back. To all this was add ed a train. frequently eight or ten yards lOne carried by attendants. To these two extremes has succeeded the "sulu' costume of today.

contrary opinion and insisted that these countries did not acquire any rights of a coastwise trade character along the route of the proposed canal. which ter ritory was under the control of. or which might be ceded to the United States. The mere fact that Canadian or Mexican ter ritory extends from ocean to ocean would not give them the right to make demands on the generosity or business foresight of the United States.
 Senator Spooner also contended that the United States would have right to con trol the canal after it's own manner dur ing any war to which this country might be a party.
 Senator Mason interjected that treaty agreements never bind nation to the extinction of it's military rights and duties. Senator Spooner assented to this and said that no matter what might be the provisions of the treaty, the nation could not be accused of dishonor or inn morality if it's terms were broken in de- fence of its own existence.
