About Himself.

Jean Cowgirl in the Illustrated Sport

me feel like a Norman tramping a cold
down.. 1t was when I had to come under
the wire ahead of Hermis. Neve a horse
with a finer soul lived than Hermis. BY
the way he dropped his head when they
led him back, l could tell that his heart
was broken. That day l was Disguised
with the applause. Poor Hermis!' ] heard
one pony-built tilly say. She was the only
one in all the crowd who thought OF him,
except the men who lost their money"
The groom brought in his oats.
You'll excuse me while ! eat it, said
McChesney. Exactly twelve-thirty, you
know. I'm very particular about regu-
larity in my oats"
He nibbled at it daintily; not a grain
went flying from the force of his breath.
The greatest thing in horse politeness Is
to know how to eat and breathe at the
same time. ! told him so.
That's me- said he. Not many horses
know how to eat. Once when l was ii
yearling l was obliged to dine with a
colt tina was-weil, not quite the real
thing. l never knew whether 1t was his
oats or mine 1 was eating. That's one
thing that made me love Lou Dillon. She
knows how to eat her oats"
McChesney looked at me half sheepishly.
Where did you meet herr
ooh. l was in my car-she was in her
ear We both were sidetracked. She stuck
her head out and whinnied. When a flly
did that. what could / do but whinny

first. Cruel. isn't it, that our professions
separate us? I've got to run and shes
got TO trot. It's fate"
BY the way his upper lip dropped ovei

to talk about Lou Dillon any more.

so that l could braid and unbraid his thin

he young, pretty murderess recently
%oardoned from prison. was the central
figure in a drama in which she APP

n the presence of some of the leading
men of France.
Thc play was nothing else han the
e~c-enacting of h tragedy in which she
assisted IIyraud to strange Gouffe, he,
lover of the moment. in order to get
he money on his person. And that she
might tax her part in the murder
strictly due to detail, she was hyp-
Noticed.
The terrible reconstructing of a crime
at which the whole world s~huddered,
was done in the studio of Boyers, n
popular photographer of the Boule-
vardes. In the select audience We're
Ernest Vale, Frances minister of JUS
lice; lie Page, his secretary; Henri
Leteilier, proprietor of LIE Journal:
Jacques Duhr, a newspaper writer; De
Jouvenele, a bureau chief in the min
stry of justice. and a score of others.
Crime Is vividly Portrayed.
The mcsmeric operator was Professor
Liegeoers. of the faculty of Nancy. Who
EASILY secured control of the complais-
ant murderess and caused her to COM
nit again the crime and with a realism
hat made it awful. holding the little
iu1ience breathless and spellbound.

perfect continuity the various acts Of
he drama for which Eyraud died I'M
Ter the guillotinc. and for which she
'pent many years behind the bars. Boy

action and preserving the tragic pic

1t Will be remembered that Goutfe. Il
niddle-aged Parisian. became enam-
>red of Bompard. who pretended to re-
urn his affections. Eyraud. Il despic-
bic hanger-or of the woman con-
'eived The idea of numbering the lover

apartments. There Eyraud was In hid

Justly rlgged up a rope and pulley, us

All Il moment when Gouffe was re-

the property of MIR. John II. Fox. one
eff the Oldest residents of Rochester. N.
Y, who all his life has been an ar
dent yachtsman and an enthusiastic
collector of trophies that have to do
with his %favorite sport. MIR. Fox has
what is ~recongnized as the most COM
plete collection of pictures of yacht
ing trophies and challenge cups in ex-
istenoe These pictures range from
original paintings II drawings to
handsomely mounted photographs. The
gem of the collection is the large and
beautiful picture of the cup yact Amer
lea, as she appeared when being tried
out before she crossed the Atlantic
tifty-two years ago, to compete for the
100 guinea cup offered by the royal
yacht squadron as a trophy to represent
the yaclaing supremacy of the seas.
The picture is considered by experts
to be a faithful reproduction of the
scene along the Staten island shore at
the time of the trial races. The picture
represents the entire fleet that con-
tested for the honor of representing this
country and from Which The NlnefIc;l

ORIGIN
OF a ramou. Human Food.

The story of great discoveries or in

An active brain worker who found
himself hampeSi by lack of bodily
strength and vigor could not carry out
the plans and enterprises he knew
how to conduct was led to study vari-
Gus foods and their effects upon the
human system. In other words, before
he could carry out his plans he had to
find 81 food that would carry him along
and renew his physical and mental
strength.
He knew that Il God that was a
brain and nerve builder Nather than n
mere fat makerD was universally need
cd. He knew that meat with the aver
9 man does not accomplish the de-
sired results. He knew that the soft
eenters is made from .Albumen and
Phosphate of Potash obtained from
food. Then he started to solve the
problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts. the now famous
food. GrareNuts contain the brain
and nerve building food elements in
condition for easy digestion. The re-
suit of eating Grare-Nuts daily is cas-
lily seen in a marked sturdiness ard

II the Nineteeth Century. A name that starts terror III the
1 \ heart of every Spanard. a man of steady nerve, clear head,
undaunted courage and prompt decision.
Approached by a friend recently. his opinion was asked as to
the efficacy of Peruna. the national catarrh remedy. Without
the slightest hesitation he gave this remedy his endorsement. 1t
appeared on later conversation that Pcruna has been used in his
family, where it is favorite remedy.
Such endorsements serve to indicate the wonderful hold that
Peruna has upon the minds Of the American people. 1t is out of
the question that so great and famous a man Admiral Schley
could have any other reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna
than his positive conviction that the remedy is all that he says

The fact is Peruna has overcome all opposition and has won its
way to the hearts of the people. The natural timidity which SO
many people have felt about giving endorsements to any remedy is
giving way. Gratitude and a desire to help others has inspired
thousands OF people to give public testimonials for Peruna who
heretofore would not have consented to such publicity.
Never before in the annals of medicine has it happened that so
many men of national and international reputation have been
willing to give unqualified and public endorsements to a proprietary
remedy. No amount of advertising could have accomplished such
a result. Peruna has won II its own merits. Peruna cures
catarrh of whatever phase or location in the human body. This is
why it receives so many notable and unique endorsements.
