II want to tell you a very queer ex.
perience l had,'' said the colonel. 1T
borders SO much on the superstitious
It throws me somewhat in doubt as to:
whether l believe in the supernatural.
You all know what a fOndness | have
for driving, and the more spirited the
horses are, the better ! feel to put them
on their mettle. Well, a few summers
ago ! bought a pair Of, high strung,
strongly built bay horses and began t
drive them. One Sunday morning l
carefully hooked them to my surrey.
I personally saw that every strap was
well hooked, the chains carefully ad-
justed and, in fact, every p%recaution
taken to have them SO %harnessed that
there could be nothing to fret them.
II drove up st. Charles avenue to
Washington. out Washington to the
railroad crossing, back again to st.
Charles avenue and then up to Car
rollton until opposite the old Carroll
ton gardens and there stopped TO resi-
under a tree. We had moved at q
pretty good pace, the weather was
warm, and I believed that a little rest
would do the horses good. forgot to
tell you that i had in the rear seat Of
the surrey my wife and daughters.
"We chopped just under a tree. on
the side Of the neutral ground, and
there waited. Just then a party of
about twenty bicyclists came in sight,
coming up the avenue. AS they passed
us my horses reared and made M
plunge. l ha0 the reins in my hand.

surrey u%nhitched. The surrey remained
perfectly still for a moment and then
by it's own momentum slowly slid
down to the sidewalk. We all got out
without the slightest anxiety what
ever. 1t was perfectly astounding.
"We made a careful examination Of
the straps, the hooks, the chains. the
pole, and there was nothing broken.
nothing strained, nothing bent-in fact,
it was just as if some unseen spirits
had carefully unlocked the horses and
let them go. The horses were brought
back in about two hours. We again
made a careful examination of the
harness, and assure you the entire
outfit vas in perfect condition-noth-
ing broken, nothing hurt or damaged
whatever. Now, how can you account
for that? ! am not inclined to believe
in the supernatural, but at times when
I think over this incident l do not
know what to believe."-New Orleans

In Memory of Levi a. Newborne.

Levi A. Mewborne died at his residence
in Vance township, Lenoir county, this
State, on the 18th of May, aged SO years.
He had been afflicted from CHILDHOOD,
which prevented him from entering and
engaging into the active persuits of life.
but he was not idle. for he was a close
student and an analytical reader. his
mind was cultured and we'll stored with
the standard literature of the best au-
thors, both in prose and poetry. He was
we'll informed on all subjects. but he
excelled as a Biblical scholar: his re-
searches of the Scriptures and the side
lights thereon were far reaching, his
analytical mind had 'to prove all things,
to hold fast that which is good
His Biblical lectures were very instruc-
tive and did great good in the COM
munity. His lectures were free. His
achievements as a teacher of the Master
were the property of us all, and we (the
people) were proud to claim them as our
own. An earnest defender of Jesus, a
kind, loving neighbor, husband, father,
a cultured Christian gentleman, in the
zenith of his usefulness has lain down
to rest in dreamless sleep in the land
of the blessed" there to awake on the
resurrection morn. He was educated at
Airy Grove and Fairfield Academies. in
Lenoir county, and the famous Saml
Hughes school, in Orange county, N. c.,
near Hillsboro. Among his schoolmates
there, whom he lovingly remembered,
were Judge Spier Whitaker, Jno. S. John
son, Rockingham county; DR.. Julius Mills,
l.. Banks Holt. Jno. Mebane, Hon. Jno.
W. Atwater, VIM. Lipscomb, Jno. Mar
com, Durham; ]. II. Hughes, Orange
county; Wiley and Saml H. Patterson,
Chapel Hill. N. c.
Levi A. Mewborne stood for independ-
ence regardless of personal ends and
had the courage of his honest convic-
tions, he stood for philanthropy and for
absolute honor and Christian integrity.
Out into the cold world. his words of
consolation have gone to warm into life

BODY HEAT
Reduced go Degrees in Summer.

Never eat heavy carbonaceous foods
for the morning meal, for these foods
should follow and not precede hard work.
The best morning foundation is Grape
Nuts and cream a little fruit, q cup of
Postum Food Coffee and possibly a couple
of eggs prepared to suit the taste-this
breakfast is sufficient to satisfy the hard
est worker. either of brain or muscle. I'M
til the MONDAY meal.
Particularly is this true at the present
season of the year, when meat and other
fatty foods increase the internal heat of
the body and make the summer day
still more disagreeable.
GrapeNuts come to you from the
grocer ready to serve, having been fully
cooked at the factory by food experts
and this saving in time and exertion is
appreciated by the housewife as well as
food, four teaspoonfuls is sufficient for
the cereal part of meal for one person
and costs only one cent.
A booklet of excellent recipes is found
in each package of GrapeNuts from
which many easy and delicious warm
weather dishes can be made for luncheon
and supper that are not only nutritious
but pleasing to the palate.
A trial of the above selection of food
for ten days will prove to anyone that
health and vigor, an active mind and
keen enjoyment of the pleasures of sum-
mer will take the place of poor digestion,
a dull brain and that heavy draggy feel
ing caused by improper food during the
hot weather.

No other remedy invented by man has
ever received as much praise from men
of high station as Peruna. Over forty
members of Congress have tried it and
recommended it to suffering humanity.
They use it themselves to guard against
the effects of the intense strain of public
life; to ward off the i'll effects of the
changeablc climate of Washington.
They keep it il, their homes for family
use. They recommend it to their neigh
bors, and they do not hesitate in public
print to declare their appreciation and
endorsement of this greatest of modern
remedies.
