A PHOENIX.
Head of Colorado School System at
%.

A strong, healthy, hungry farmers
boy will eat pretty near anything that
he can get his teeth into. He is very
apt in this way to lay the foundation
for future i'll health, particularly if he
takes up sedentary occupation in la
ter life
A prominent young man of a city of
Colorado who was born on a farm in
eastern Illinois, says: 'An through my
youth 1 had an abnormally developed
appetite which 1 was allowed to crafty
freely During the winter months es-
pecially 1 consumed great quantities of
sorghum molasses, pancakes and bis
cults
When at the age of 10 I left the
farm and entered the school room as a
teacher had become a confirmed suf-
ferlng dyspeptic. Constant laxatives
were necessary and only the very sim
plest foods would digest at all For
several years I carried no other dinner
to school but oatmeal and crackers.
Life dragged YEARLY along in this
manner. Six years ago I married and
went to college and two years were
spent there, but all the time my mental
work was seriously hindered by head
aches and drOWSineSs caused by my in
digestion. Leaving college 1 taught
school again year, in the midst Of

Yer. Three years ago came to Color
ado and took charge of the grammar
department of the schools here until
February, 1901, when my poorly nour-
ished body could no longer stand the
strain upon it and I completely collaps-
ed in both body and mind. For two
weeks I lay at the point of death, un-
conscious most of the time Then
Grape-Nuts was fed to me as a steady
diet and the change began. It seemed
a miracle.
ITO cut the tale short I am now
principal of our school system here at

TOMMY CAT CONVICTED.
He Admitted Selling Liquor to Fellow
Red Men.

The process of trying an Indian in
the u. S. district court is always a
rather interesting performance. parIic-
ularly so is it when the Indian who is
being tried can not, or processes not, to
be able to speak English. In the dis
trict court Friday afternoon Tommy
Cat, a full blooded Pottawatomie, was
convicted. His sentence was two
months imprisonment and fine of 500
with the costs of the case. Tommy
knows some English but for the pur-
poses of his trial he seemed to think
his chances would be better if ne were
ignorant of the language. John Mus
qui-qua, an Indian of the same tribe,
acted as interpreter Tommy made no
defense. He and the interpreter stood
before the bar and discussed the mat
ter with Judge Hook. Tommy admit
ted to having sold some red liquor
which Musqui-qua identified as the
same article as whisky. Tommy Cat
did not appear at all perturbed by his
conviction but took it in the most
matter of fact and disinterested man
ner magma bic.
Musqui-qua is an elderly Indian, APP
parently the LATEST man of the tribe.
When not busy he sat among the spec
tators in the court room resting his
arms on the seat in front and his fat
cheek upon his palm. Life in general
seems bore and translating testimony
and sentences the least important bust
ness in the world.

Mr.. Nash. TO have a fake fire fixed

pie realize that the thing is a fake. L
don't know Just what is it. but in spite
OF careful training of men and elaborate
preparations for making smoke, the
fake ire pictures can always be de
tected.
In big cities the chief difficulty il,
getting good fire pictures is to get close
enough to the fire to get a good view

fire limits are established, and even in

were given special privileges by the fire
department. We had an arrangemenr
by which we We're notified of every fire

soon as the fire de@artment In this
way we managed to get some good pic
lures.
The trouble is principally that fire
which is not fixed up especially for the
occasion usually comes at the WRONG
time Of day, or the sun isn't right. or
there are shadows which prevent get

Notions with salt Fish.

For those who live far from the sea
or lakes and find it difficult to procure
good fish, Table Talk suggests the use
of salt cod in several ways: Select
good thick pieces from the center of
the fish. For a lunch or dinner dish
the fish is soaked for a few hours
longer if very salt-then steamed or
simmered until tender, the former
being the better method. 1t is then
laid in a shallow pan, tomato or
cream sauce poured over it, covered
closely and kept at the side of the fire
for from twenty to thirty minutes.
Another simple method is to fake the
fish, freshen it and simmer in either
Of the sauces, then serve on toast. AS
a lunch or tea relish take long strips
Of the freshened fish, dip into melted
butter and broil over a quick fire.

BOWSER GETS MAD.
He Tries to Make His Wife Believe That May Apples
Grow Trees and as Usual Is Worsted

Mrs. BOWser had walked into the
trap and must take the consequences,
but when driven to it she replied that
May apples grew on vines, and she
could prove it.
sNow let me tell you something"
said Mr.. Bowser after long glare at
her. Zone of us doesn't know enough to
pound sand. If it turns out to be me
then I'll go to the idiot asylum toner
row."
"But where are you going now?" she
asked as he started down the hall.
ITO investigate matters. If it be-
comes necessary I'll go ten miles into
the country and pull up a May apple
tree by the roots and bring it back to
show you"
Mr.. Bowser's family butcher came
from the country and has always con-
tinued in touch with it, and it was like
~ that he knew all about May apples.
When questioned on the subject in q
careless way he replied:
"May apples? Why, my dear man,
every six-year-old child in the country
knows what they are"
"How tall are the trees they grow
on?" cautiously asked Mr.. Bowser.
"How tall are the trees pumpkins
and squashes grow on?" laughed the
butcher. "You are not foolish enough
to think that May apples grow on
trees, hope. You meant vines, didn't
your
"No. sir. l meant trees. l know
they grow on trees"
''Then mandrakes and leeks must
grow in your hat. You are on a false
trail and had better give it up. Might
ask the plumber, though. He owns
farm yet, believe"
Mr.. Bowser asked the plumber
whether he had any May apple trees on
his farm, and the man of solder looked
at him in curious way and replied:
mo, not any. If had should pre-
sent them to museum. When May
apples take to growing on trees shall
expect to see corn growing on vines.
You'd better go out into the country
for day and look around"
Mr.. Bowser was not satisfied. In his
minds eye he could see bushels and
bushels of May apples growing on
dozens and dozens Of trees as he walk
ed in the direction of his family drug
store. He could almost taste the fruit
as he entered.
"Well, Bowser, what's up?" was the
greeting Of the druggist.
Nothing much Didn't you used to
live on farm?"
Il did, my boy, and 1 wish 1 was
back there"
'You must know what May apples
are?"
'As we'll as know what grass is"
"And what does May apple tree
look likeY
The druggist laughed long, loud
horse laugh and then sobered up and
said:
Better go home and call a doctor,
old man.
"Why?'
Because you've got 'em, and got 'em
bad. You'll be seeing rats before morn

''Sir, you are fool and har!' ex-

and started for home, with his ears
twitching.
He tried to open the front door so
softly that Mrs. Bowser couldn't hear
him, but as he closed it she stood in
the door Of the sitting room and asked:
well, dear, did you bring me home
some sand to poundY
He waved his arms about his head,
but did not answer.
"And have you got to start for the
idiot asylum in the morning?'
He choked and gasped and gurgled,
but as the words would not come he
lodged into the library and locked the
