Aldrich is suave alert, smart, | sometimes mysterious and always sin gle purposed. That purpose is. to see that protection Is preserved in season
 and out of season in the house of it's friends for it's friends. He is crafty, burrowing, never sleeping. A senator has pet measure. He presses it with all his power. There seems to be no active opposition to it. Yet it fails to get ahead. Some mysterious influence | blocks the way. If he is experienced. if he is smart. if he knows the ropes. the senator will go to the chairman of the committee on finance and make his peace. He will sign a treaty of alli- | ance.

FAME IN NEW YORK.

Poor Dick! He used to imagine that he was a distinguished man-just because he argued dull cases brilliantly and was spoken of as celebrated law yer-and he thought I shone with re- f1ected glory. Now I tell him his chief distinction is that he belongs to me. the .best groomed.' tsbest gowned,' Y ..best looking, (for my age) and most eccentric and "extravagant" woman ir America, and he shines with reflect ed glory. He's so old-fashioned suppose if you asked him what fame was. he'd say "the praise good men ac- cord to a great deed" or some pompous platitude like that. whereas we know that fame is what the newspapers find to say about -Everybody's Maga- zine.

POWDERED CARBON AS A FUEL

POWDERED CARBON AS 4 FUEL.
 When coal or charcoal is very finely pulverized. it will burn much like gas. Attempts to utilize this fact have been quite successful the best method employing a sort of rotating ventilation to blow the powder into the combustion chamber. The resulting flame can be controlled as desired. and the method has many good points. A French paper, the Revue Technique, :, describes it as Every seductive" but hesitates to recommend it, both be- cause of the expense of proper pulver- ization and the possibility of disas- trous explosions from spontaneous combustion of the finely divided coal. Some of those who approve the method believe that a pulverizer may be at tached to each furnace. which will grind up the coal as it is needed, and thus obviate the latter objection Sue jcess for January.

CITY MISSION NOTES.

In the new building at 2G1. Orange
street is a beautiful large room called
the children's hall. In this room ev-
cry Saturday afternoon are gathered
between two and three hundred chill
dred for instruction and it is called the
sewing and temperance school.
The children gather there from all
parts of the city, and the majority Of
them do not have any too many pleas
ures in life.
The school is opened and closed with
singing and now the children are prac-
ticing Christmas music.
Those in charge find it hard work to
drill the children without a piano or
any musical instrument. Isn't there
some one who reads this who would
like to go on record as placing piano
in this hall. It would be very much
appreciated and If you do not think it
is needed just step in to the children s
meeting next Saturday afternoon at
2:30 and you will give them the one
you have and trust that Santa Claus
will bring the new one for which you
have been wishing.
OF course some one will see that
there is one there in very short time.
Ask Mr.. Mossman or Miss Hume to
tell you more.

HOCKEY TEAM WORK.

Tuesday-Candidate

The First Practice on Ice Game on
Tuesday-Candidates
On Tuesday afternoon the Yale
hockey team began the regular work
for the season on the ice. The pre-
liminary practice in the gymnasium
consisted of lifting and shooting and
was intended to prepare the candidates
for the harder work outdoors. The
candidates have not been divided up
into minor Squads but are given short
practice every day, in passing and
shooting, after which a few practice
games are played.
The team will be somewhat weak
ened this year by the loss of e. c. Ost-
by 1908, of last years team, who will
be unable to play this season. There
is, however, a wealth of good material
that promises WELL but Is slow and
green. 1t Is hoped to remedy this by
hard work and by careful coaching.
The team will play the first game of
the season next Tuesday night with
the New York Hooking club at the st.
Nicholas rink, New York city. =
The most promising candidates are
the following: Fl. Potter 1908, w. q.

THINK HARD.
1t Pays to Think About Food.


The unthinking life some people lead
often causes trouble and sickness, as
illustrated in the experience of q lady
who resides in Fond Du Lac, Wis.
about four years ago I suffered
dreadful1y from indigestion, always
having eaten whatever I liked, not
thinking of the digestible qualities.
This indigestion caused palpitatlon of
the heart so badly I could not walk up
q flight of stairs without sitting down
once or twice to regain breath and
strength.
l became alarmed and tried dieting,
wore my clothes very loose, and many
other remedies, but found no relief.
Hearing of the virtues of Grape-Nuts
and Postum Food Coffee, commenced
using them in place Of my usual break
fast of coffee, cakes, or hot biscuit, and
in one weeks time I was relieved of
sour stomach and other ills attending
indigestion. In a months time my
heart was performing its functions
naturally and I could climb stairs and
hills and walk long distances.
l gained ten pounds in this short time
and my skin became clear and / COM
pletely regained my health and
strength. I continue to use Grape-Nuts
and Postum for I feel that 1 owe my
good health entirely to their use. like
the delicious flavor of Grape-Nuts and
by making Postum according to direc-
tons, it cannot be distinguished from
the highest grade Of coffee" Name

Lilly irons be replaced upon our wrists.
They had been placed upon Spangler
ard I, when the order of Captain Dut-
ton was countermanded by General
Dodd. and the irons were removed.
CHAINS CAUSED TORTURE.
No sooner We're We upon the gunboat
than we were ordered into the lower
hold of the vessel. 1t required, in our
shackled condition, the greatest care to
safely reach there, owing to the limited
space, eight inches Of chain being al
lowed between Our ankles. After leav-
ing the second deck we were forced to
descend upon a ladder whose rounds
were distant so far apart that the
chains bruised and lacerated the flesh
and even the bone of the ankles. We
remained in the sweltering hole during
the night in an atmosphere pregnant
with disagreeable odors, arising from
various articles of subsistence stored
within, and about o'clock next morn
ing we passed through another ordeal
in our ascent to the deck, which was
attended with more pain than the
descent, owing to the raw condition of
our wounds.
All intercourse with the crew was
prohibited, guards being stationed
around US, and we were not permitted
to move without being accompanied by
an armed marine. Subsistence of the
grOssest kind was issued, in the shape
of fat salt pork and bareback. We
remained on deck during the day,
closely watching, as far as able, the
steering of the vessel by the sun, and
found we were steaming due South.
/ The course was unchanged the next
day and began to suspect that fatal
isle, the Dry Tortugas, was our fastin-
ed home for the future.
INFORMED OF DESTINATION.
From this time out we remained on
deck, our beds being brought up at
night and taken between decks in the
morning. Arriving off Hilton Head, S.
c.. and whilst lying in port, we were
informed by General Dodd that he was
sailing under sealed orders, but as soon
as we left the port he would announce
our destination. We remained there
/ during the night, having received some
guests on board, and the officers anus
ed themselves with dancing and
carousing. About IL o'clock in the day
we were informed that the Dry Tor
tugas was our destination.
! OF it 1 had no idea beyond that gath
cred through the columns of the press,
in which it had been depleted as per-
: feet hell, which fact was duly estab-
lished by Imprisonment on its limited
space. After the second day on the
ocean the irons were removed from our
ho dow hl1f rnnlopoH n
night, and we were permitted from this
day out the privilege of being on deck
on account of the oppressive heat of
the climate, where we could catch the
col sea breeze as it swept across the
deck in the ships onward track over
the bounding ocean.
