WAITED 30 YEARS
For the Proper Food.

A man who was a semi-invalid for 30 years got we'll in about a month when he found the right food. He says: ..When I was 19 years of age had 8 severe attack of typhoid fever and after almost starving to death I was left in a pitiable condition.
 My nervous system was so shattered that had to walk with a cane for 6 months after I got on my feet and my stomach was terribly distended. This was thirty. years ago and since that time I have never known health al- though I had tried doctor after doctor, until 6 months ago I saw an article about Grape-Nuts that impressed me so I thought would try it.
 "so I gave Grape-Nuts a trial, more as something. to eat than with any idea it would help me. My improvement commenced immediately and has kept right up until now I have used seven packages and feel like another person I am in better health than I have been since boyhood and am strong and con- tented. Grape Nuts food helped me after everything else failed and I look on this as an evidence of the great power of proper food.'' Name given by Pos tum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

Brrr1 WHIPPED BY, STALLION.

A story of a horse that is real hero comes from this county. Bob Hunt, a welI-known stockman, owns beautiful
 gray stallion and a fine Jersey bull.
 The latter is a vicious animal, and on more than one occasion has shown. a pugnacious disposition. Usually a pitchfork serves to frighten him off from about the barn of pasture. s Thursday of this week Mir. Hunt, in company with a small boy, was cross | ing the pasture leading the stallion. Suddenly the bull appeared upon the scene and showed evidence of wanting
 to fight. MT. Hunt gave the halter rein to the boy and thought he would drive the irate animal away. The bull start ed to flee, but changed his mind after running a short distance, and discover ing his pursuer did not have the dread ed pitchfork, he lowered his head and charged upon his master MT. Hunt at tempted to run and fell. The bull but | ted him as he passed, and it looked for | a moment as if ! MT. Hunt would be gored to death. The boy dropped the rein of the stallion and started off for 1 help. It was then that the noble anil
 nal proved himself faithful to his mas i ter, and was real hero. Rearing up on | his hind feet with a snort of defiance,
 he bore down upon the bull which, in
 the meantime, had returned a second
 time upon MT. Hunt and was about to
 trample him to death. The horse bit a
 large piece of "beef and hair" out of the
 bulls back at the opportune moment,
 and wheeling, planted both rear heels
 in the ribs of his opponent, almost
 sending him to the earth, and causing
 him to roar with pain. The bull left his prostrate victim and fled in terror, with
 the horse pursuing him and taking
 chunks of hide and flesh every few
 steps until he had been chased to the
 bottom. The horse then returned to his
 master.-Jackson (Tenn.) Correspon-

NO BLAINE MEMORIAL.
Mrs. Blaine Was Disappointed-An Ap-
 ',+ peal to Carnegie. --

Mrs. Blaine Was Disappointed--An Ap-
 + peal to Carnegie.
 While the will of Mrs. James G. Blaine. made two years ago, does not give the public any indication as to the size of the estate left to her by her late husband. the property is said to be handsome one, much larger than was supposed. MT. Blaine was a good fina- cier. a man who invested wisely and turned his money often. The presiden- tial campaign of 1884 cost him heavily "a half, a million dollars or more. When the fight was over and the Maine man was defeated by narrow margin, he said he was poor man, but this poverty was only in comparative sens for he still owned his home in Augusta, his fine cottage at Bar Harbor and his splendid mansion at Washington-those three residences being enough to place any man above want for years. It is also reported that MT. Blaine realized $50000O clear profit from the sale of his books. which were widely. read and eagerly sought by the public.
 It was the desire of MT. Blaine to be buried in Augusta, so those who were intimate with him have said. For the purpose of having her husband rest among those who knew and loved him best Mrs. Blaine purchased lot near the city, expecting that the friends of the dead statesman would raise a memorial to his honor. She has out lived him about 10 years, and during all that time no attempt was made to start a fund to perpetuate the memory of the great parliamentarian. Up until the time Mrs. Blaine died the hope and wish of her life had made no headway. For this reason she was buried in Washing ton beside her life's companion.
 If the stories told are true-and we can see no reason to doubt them-the | way the men who worshiped MT. Blaine while he lived have neglected his mem- ory since his death furnishes sad com-
 mentary upon the worlds ingratitude. During the summer of 1888 MT. Blaine was the guest of Andrew Carnegie for several months, the ironmonger carry | ing the Maine statesman across Eng | land in coach and 'parading him
 among the people as the greatest thing
 on this side of the Atlantic. Since then
 MT. Carnegie has given away very
 much money. not little of it very | foolishly and for self-advertising pur-
 poses. If he wishes to do one disin-
 tcrested deed before he dies he can find
 no better chance to show his respect for
 a noble man than by erecting a grand
 IEausoleum 60 his former companion on
 that long and delightful ride through the heart of Great Britain and Scotland
 in the sweet summer season. No doubt the Blaine family will see to it that the

graves of their distinguished parents are properrly marked, though natural modesty will not permit them to do so much individually as the public should perform willingly. Meantime James G. Blaine deserves more from the people of this country than the people have seen fit to bestow as yet.-Bangor News,
