tug Of War BY Two English spsrrovs
Stops Street Traffic.

II wasn't n frce-for-ali fight. says the
Denver News. that blocked trmffic on
Sixteenth street yesterday afternoon.
rs those viewing the crowd from dis.
tancc supposcd-but two common. or
dinRry English sparrows.
For over flyc minutes the two little
rparrows stopped trafiic ms effectively
on pcnver'r principal thoroughfare As
q fro would have done.
Tho blockade happened this way. II
was shortly after the noon hour and
traffic was at It's height.
Il happened that the two sparrows
simultaneously developed desire for
q wisp Of straw. which lay on the Side
walk Just above Curtis street. Each
wanted Il and each managed to get an
end Of tho prize In Its bcak and tug
OF war was the result.
Three persons FIRST saw the little
birds fight for the wisp and intcntiy
intense. This had the result Of nt-
tracing others. In less time than II
takes to tell. ten. twenty. fifty. n hun
dred. and at last seemingly. n thou
sand pedestrians were jammcd togcth-
or. crcning their nccks TO see the strug-

Street cars and wagons next halted.
while the feathcred combatants fought
on. with no apparent advantage on
either side.
Tho next heard was the cheer OF the
onlookcrs rs the brave animals pulled
one another over the pavement. Then
there was an uproar and O'iiccr O'Con.
nor was seen fastening to the scene.
He clbowed his way through the as
semblagc. declared the fight draw
and chased away the feathered COM
batants.
Guess I'll take that straw home for
a souvenir" said he. after picking up
the straw. "l'll bet that's the first
blade on record that ever was the
cause OF the blockade of a street"

Der few years ago that James Stew.
art Of Mille-sburg came to town with

Il for $50 without finding anyone.
"Hc was about ready to go homo
when along about sundowa a fellow
walked up TO where II was tied and
looked around II. threw his thumb
under its lip and took q peep ae It's
molars. and finally asked him what hc
would take for II. Thinking Il was
like tho other chances he had cncoun-
tered during the day. and that thcro
was no hope Of sale. he asked tho
man $3.50.
"Thc stranger walked around the
mule again and offered sli5. But Jim
said he was determined to get his
price: the other man was stubborn
and said he wanted to go home. and II
that wouldn't buy II go he must.
Finally Jim concluded that he wanted

ORIGIN.
OF . F.mou. Human Food.

OF q Famous human FOOD.
The s,ory of great discoveries or In.
ventions is always of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampcred by lack Of bodily
strength and vigor and could not
carry out the plans and enterprises
he knew how to conduct was led TO
study various foods and their effects
upon the human system. In other
words before he could carry out his
plans he had to find food that wouI!
carry him along and renew his physi.
cal and mental strength
He knew tiat food that was q
brain and nerve builder. (rather than
mere fat maker). was universally
needed. He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish the
desired results. He knew that the
soft gray substance in brain and
nerve centers Is made from Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food. Then he started to. solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grnpe.Nuts, the now famous
food. Grape.Nuts contain the brain
and nerve building food elements in
condition for easy digestion. The re.
suit OF eating Grape-Nuts daily is
easily seen in marked sturdiness
and activity OF the brain and nervous
system, making 1t pleasure for one
to carry on the daily duties without
fatigue or exhaustion. The food Is
in no sense a stimulant but is simply
food which renews and replaces the
daily waste OF brain and nerves.
It's flavor Is charming and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory 1t is served instantly with
cream.
The signature of the brain worker
spoken of. c. w. Post, is to be seen
on each genuine package of Grape
Nuts.
Look in each package for copy of
the famous little book, THE Road to
Wellville."

and soon found herself getting better.
She kept on with the pills and was
