Better health comes with less meat and

By proper and pleasant diet you can

Grape-Nuts and cream, a little fruit and

food and its crisp daintiness is pleasing
TO the palate of young and old.
Many delicious recipes are found in each
Grapefruit package, so that the form OF

HIS NERVE FAILED HIM.

Melancholy story of n Man with Ex-
s-pensive Headgear.
The man looked hang-dog and guilty, re-
lates the Washington Post. 49,
He walked up the steps of A!s home with
his shoulders sort Of hunched forward.
There was a ~furtive, haunted expression
on his face. $50
On his head there. was a 500 Panama.
He had paid 500 for 1t that afternoon.
That is why he looked guilty.
During all of his previous married life
he had been stalking himself to lids of the
S2.Ss brand.
But he had been aching and hunsering for
this 500 top-piece. and in a moment Of
recklessness he had bought 1t for himself.
But as he went up the steps he looked
mighty hang-dog and guilty.
He knew that when he broke the news to
his wife there'd be something doing, and
quick, at that,
1t made no difference that he had blown
her to a $s2 spring hat only a month or so
ago.
He knew that.
But he had firmly made UP his mind on
the way up in the car that he'd boldly tell
her that be had dug 500 for the hat, and
take what was coming to him.
She was upstairs when he let himself In
the front door. He braced himself as he
heard her descending the stairs.
He felt that his time was coming pretty
swift AS she got to the bottom OF the
stairs, however, all of his nerve fooled
out.
why. what a pretty haiti" she exclaimed,
picking the hat of the rack as she reached
the hall. How much?"
1t was now or never with him.
1t was the chance OF his life to assert
himself and make a stab at picking IL UP
and running away with it.
But his knees shook beneath him and the
hot beads began to pour from his forehead
"Three-'n-a-half," he replied. weakly
and then he tossed in bed all night tryine
to dope 1t out how he'd explain for the ex-
penditure Of the remaining $3.50 that he'd
paid for the Panama headgear.

LIVE TOPIC FOR SENATORS
Straight Reciprocity Men Take New
Hope, but Opponents Are
-n.ft StiIl Unmoved.

WASHINGTON, June 13.-The presidents
reciprocity message gave senators a live
topic Of conversation today, but so far
there is no apparent change in the situa-
tion. There was a disposition on the part
OF the leaders on both sides of the con-
~troversy to claim, when speaking publicly,
some advantage from the message. The
straight reciprocity men urged that the
effect would be TO cause at least some Of
the beet sugar republicans to abandon their
opposition. They commended that many Of
them had misunderstood the attitude Of
the president and now that this had been
made clear there could be no longer ex-
cuse for opposing straight reciprocity
measures. The message, they argued, would
clear the atmosphere. render the presi-
dents attitude unmistakable and therefore
bring opponents within the party face to
face with the fact that in continuing their
head OF the party.

president stood on this subject and have
told the republican opponents Of reciproc-
lily Just what the facts are" said a leading
reciprocity senator. They refused to ac-
eept our assurances and professed to have
had expressions from the president to the
contrary. The message confirms all that
we have said TO them, II clears the at
mosphere and necessarily the result must
be beneficial for a reciprocity bill"
The beet sugar traders declared at the
close OF the day that the message had
caused no loss TO them and that all those
senators who had stood with them yester-
day are still with them. They also as
Omaha daily bee., 1902-06-14

serted that the presidents interposition in
the matter had had the effect of causing to
hesitate some senators who heretofore had
not taken a positive stand against reduc-
tion, because Of the feeling that the presi-
dent should leave congress to deal with
the subject in its present stage.
Senator Dietrich was among the most
outspoken of the beet sugar men and he
made an unsuccessful effort to secure the
attention OF the chair after the reading of
the message. Those who are in his conf
dence say that 1t was his purpose to move
the discharge of the committee for the
further consideration of the house bill in
order to permit the immediate considera-
tion of that measure.

1T reminds me of the story OF jack and
his old Scotch mother that used to be told
when l was at sea-" he said the other day,
discussing this perverseness on the part
Of the landlubber. Jack had just returned
from a cruise around the world, and at the
supper table was telling about his expert
ences. He told about the flying fish, and
his mother gently rebuked him for trying
to deceive her. He spoke Of whales and
porpoises. and the old lady shook her
head and said that, as for her, she didn't
believe a word Of it.

mischief, told her that when the ship was

Captain Kelley, the noted whaler. once
told me of a similar experience. He was
retailing some Of his adventures to a group
of store ~loafers, when a tall thin fellow
rose from his cracker barrel and asked:
Say, Mr.. Kelley, tell US how big is a
whale, anyhow
THE captain tried to give him some idea,
and a murmuT of incredulity went around
the circle.
"'How big is a whales MOUTH asked
another.
1.-The jaw is fourteen or fifteen feet
long replied Kelley.
There was a general unbelieving laugh.
"'How much lie can you get from one?
was next asked.
"A good whale will make about 24O
barrels
They didn't believe it. They weren't to
be fooled that way simply because they
were countrymen.
The captain finally grew reckless,
Well he said. IN tell you Of a little
experience / once had of the coast OF Peru
We'd sighted near the shore a big whale
with a calf by her side. The boat put in
after her, and l was in charge OF the har-
poon at the bow.
"a female whale with a calf, you know
is very bad tempered, and will protect hei
young against almost anything, but We
reckoned we'd sneak up quiet like. Well
sir, we'd got within twenty feet OF the
fish when something happened. The mothel
whale lit out with her tail, the boat wal
stove in pieces, and found myself sailing
through the air toward the shore.

where l thought myself at least safe from
the whale. But bless me If the old lad!

general chorus of GO on. That stor,
sounds a little more reasonable said on

oPELIKA, Ala, June 13.-Alexander City,
a place Of $500 inhabitants, was wiped away
today by fire, the loss reaching at least
S750.000, which the insurance will not begin
to cover. The fire originated in the foundry
and machine works. A light wind was blow
ing and the fire spread from building to
building until the entire town was ablaze.
The place has no water works and all the
terror-stricken people could do was to save
what belongings they could and then fee
from the awful heat.
The depot of the Central of Georgia rail-
way was burned with all its contents. The
telegraph once, two hotels, postofice, sa-
looms, practically all the stores and eight
residences, together with numerous law and
other Offices. were destroyed.
The railroad has established its telegraph
lines under a tree, and appeals for help
and for food are going out.
The tracks of the Central of Georgia are
so badly warped that the passenger trains
east and west tonight will have to transfer.

American Getting There


An army officer who has just returned
from the Philippines says the native women
are initiating the American women, school
teachers and wives Of army officers, in the
matter Of dress, personal adornment and
manners. During the last year a great
change Of this nature has been observed
among the native women, who have been
thrown into contact with the "Americanos.
The Philippine women now insist not only
upon having more clothes, but better
clothes. and the result is a marked i'm
provement in their average personal ap-
pearance.
A, year and a half ago this officer passed
through a village in Luzon. In the house
where he lodged was a girl of 10 to IL
years who smoked big, black cigars and
apparently enjoyed them. Visiting the
same village a few months ago the officer
called to see his friends, the native family,
He found the girl, now a little larger, OF
course, and also very much better dressed,

her.

Big Philadelphia Fire.

PHILADELPHIA, June 13.-Fire today de-
stroyed the novelty leather factory Of H. M.
Rosenblatt q Co., a four-story brick struc-
ture, at Second and oxford streets, result
Ing in severe injuries to a dozen persons.
The John Moffett public school opposite the
leather works was damaged, three dwelling
houses adjoining the factory were destroyed
and nine others were slightly damaked. The
rapid spread Of the flames gave rise to
rumors that a number of the employees had
met death in the burning factory, but these
reports proved to be erroneous.
There were many sensational and narrow
escapes, most of the 400 men and women
employed in the factory saving their lives
by leaping from the windows into nets
held by fremen.
Katie Scheidell. aged 10 years, was car
ried down a ladder by a policeman. She
was badly burned and her condition is re-
ported as serious.
Others severely injured are:
George Herbert, aged AZ, back injured.
John Snyder. aged 22, shoulder dislo-
Gated and leg fractured.
August Schroeder, aged 40, leg fractured.
Samuel Trankerman, aged rs, burned
about body.
Several others, including a police serg-
cant and two fremen, sustained severe lac
e%rations and were overcome by heat ana
shock.
The fire originated in a small ann
known as the c~elluloid room. 1t is believed
a spark from crossed electric wires flew
into a quantity of celluloid. The fire caused
a panitc among the employees, especially
those on the upper floor, and for a tim,
the widest excitement prevailed.
Firemen and policemen, however, pre-,
vented the panicstricken workers from
leaping until nets were spread to receiv,
them. Mr.. Rosenblatt estimates his los
at $150,0O0 partly covered by insurance
and the loss on the other properties is es
timated at SIS 900.
