SHE WON IN EVERY WINDI
Close but Convincing Victory of the Reliance Over
 Chalenger--Second of the Series.
 Showed Concluding Event the Thirteenth Series Will Be Sailed

eased just enough to put them on al- most their best point of sailing and one upon which the Reliance has often demonstrated that she is faster than any racing craft ever built. She was heeled enough to bring her long over hands to bear and give her the bene- fit of her great sailing lengths.
 As the wird softened the Reliance first set a baby jib topsail which the Shamrock had been carrying since turning the second mark, and then ex- changed it for d big reaching jib top sail in which the Shamrock promptly followed suit. When the Reliance was a quarter of a mile from the finish line the wind died away considerably but the Shamrock III. came booming along carrying a splendid breeze and fas, overhauling the leader. It looked as though the British boat was going to get within her time allowance. but the finish line Was too close, and the Re liance slipped across it with one minute and nineteen seconds to spare. The Shamrock finished in a Softening win6 and both boats were taken in tow t. Sandy Hook.

GOT TO
Have Sharp Brains Nowadays or Drop
 Back.

The man of today no matter what his calling. needs sharp brain and to get this he needs food that not only gives muscle and strength but brain and nerve power as well.
 A carpenter and builder of Mar quette, Mich. who is energetic and wants to advance in his business read an article about food in religious paper and in speaking of his experi- ence he said: Up to three years ago l had not been able to study or use my thinking powers to any extent. There was something lacking and I know now that it was due to the fact that my food was not rebuilding my brain.
 About this time time I began the use of the condensed food Grape Nuts and the result has been 1 can think not only rebuilt my brain until it is stronger and surer and more active but my muscles are also harder and more firm where they used to be loose and soft and my stomach is now in perfect condition. l can endure more than twice the amount of fatigue and my nights rest always completely restores me. In other words I am enjoying life and I attribute it to the fact that l have found a perfect food" Name given by PoStum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

on, of this city. A splendid cut of
the Lieutenant appears in the In

The deceased was married to

The grim monster claimed it's
victim on board the u. s. cruiser

being heart failure.
To this bereaved widow and

Prior to the battle of Manila,
Lieutenant Hesler was with Ad-

Boston.
During his lifetime he was new

Memory OF

Madee Hope. daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Nelson Hope, departed
this life April 10, 1908, aged
years. 3 months and % days. Hel
life ended in its very evening tn;
sweet bud that had just begun tc
open its petals withered and drop,
ped from it's stem just as it was
opening into the full bloom of early
girlhood.
We had a little treasure once,
She was our Joy and pride;
We loved her, ahi perhaps to well,
For soon she slept and died.
All is dark within our dwelling.
Lonely are our hearts to-day;
For the one we loved so dearly,
Has forever passed away.
This lovely bud so young, SO fair,
Called hence by early doom;
just came to show how small flower
On paradise would bloom.
Ere sin could harm or sorrow fade,
Death came with firmly care:
The opening bud to heaven convey
go
And bade it blossom there.
A bud the gardner gave us,
A pure and lovely child;
He gave it to our Keeping,
To cherish undefiled,
But just as it was opening,
To the glory of the day,
Down came the heavenly gardener
And took our bud away.
Other earts may cease to miss her,
All her little charms forget;
But in hearts that loved her fondly,
Little Madgie is living yet.
Better still she lives in heaven,
Freed from earthly sin and pain;
And amid its fadeless beauty,
We may clasp our darling again
Two COUSINS.
