A True Financier.

Der few years ago that James Stew
art Of Mille-sburg came to town with
E. mule to sell and tried all day to sell
It for $50 without finding anyone.
"He was about ready to go home
when along about sundowu fellow
walked up to where 1t was tied and
looked around 1t, threw his thumb
under its lip and took a peep at its
molars, and finally asked him what he
would take for 1t. Thinking It was
like the other chances he had encoun-
tered during the day. and that there
was no hope Of sale, he asked the
man $50.
"The stranger walked around the
mule again and offered $145. But Jim
said he was determined to get his
price; the other man was stubborn
and said he wanted to go home, and IL
that wouldn't buy 1t go he must.
Finally Jim concluded that he wanted
to go home, too, and with an air of

BELIEVERS IN SIGNS
SUPERSTITION NORTH AND SOUTH

colored conjurer shot-Aecused Of
Casting a Spell on Negress-
Curious Beliefs and Practices In
New England.
A correspondent OF the New York
Tribune at Crisheld. Maryland, writes:
Strange customs and beliefs, which are
relics OF barbarism, linger among the
people, white and colored. along the
eastern shores of this state. Virginia,
North Carolina and South Carolina
Only one night last week an old negro
named Finney was called to his door
and riddled with buckshot by men
who believed that he was a sorcerer,
and had cast spell on a negress
named Mary Holley. which had caused
her death. Finney was well known as
conjuror and worker OF strange
things, and there were hundreds. both
white and colored. who visited him
when they we're sick or in trouble, or
had lost yaluables and wished to find
them.
Everything here almost is governed
by signs and omens, and the more ig-
norant the people the more prolific al e
their superstitious beliefs; the advance
of education does not appear to be do
Ing a great deal In overcoming super
stition, but to no part OF the country,
to no nationality, is superstition con-
fined, and 1t may be found outcrop-
ping throughout the known world,
savage and civilized. Traditions have
been brought to this country from ev-
cry part OF Europe and Asia, but the
American-born plant lore is of prac-
tical character.
While all the people of this region
are full of superstition. some of the
people of New Hampshire wear a

Massachusetts,: horse chestnuts bring

tatoes with holes bored through are a

stIll Another Case.

Franksville. Wis, Oct. 12th.-Many
remarkable cures are being reported
from all over the country but there
is one right here In Franksville which
is certainly worth publishing. and
which has not as yet been given to
the public.
Mrs. Louis Markison of this place
had been sick woman for quite a
long time and could not find anything
TO give her any help. She suffered all
the painful symptoms of what is gen.
orally known as female weakness.
Every woman who reads her story
will understand these distressing con.
ditions which combine to make the
lives of many women one long bur-
den OF weakness and suffering.
Mrs. Markison chanced one day to
hear of new remedy called Dodd's
Kidney Pills. that was said to be q
splendid medicine for women's weak
ness. She determined to try some
and soon found herself getting better.
She kept on with the pills and was
cured. Speaking OF her case. Mrs.
Markison says
II can and do praise Dodds Kidney
Pills as remedy for female weakness.
They are the best medicine I have
ever known, and have done me .

Tug of War by Two English sparrows
Stops Street Traffic.

II wasn't a free-for-all fight. says the
Denver News, that blocked trafiic on
Sixteenth street yesterday afternoon,
as those viewing the crowd from dis
tance supposed-but two common, Or
dinary English sparrows.
For over five minutes the two little
sparrows stopped traffic as effectively
on Denver's principal thoroughfare as
a fire would have done.
The blockade happened this way II
was shortly after the noon hour and
traffic was at its height.
1t happened that the two sparrows
simultaneously developed a desire for
a wisp of straw. which lay on the side
walk Just above Curtis street. Each
wanted 1t and each managed to get an
end of the prize in Its beak and tug
of war was the result.
Three persons first saw the little
birds fight for the wisp and intently
watched the struggle until 1t became
intense. This had the result of at
tracing others. In less time than 1t
takes to tell, ten. twenty. fifty. hun
dred, and at last seemingly. a thou
sand pedestrians were jammed togeth-
er. crening their necks to see the strug-
gle.
Street cars and wagons next halted,
while the feathered combatants fought
on, with no apparent advantage on
either eide.
The next heard was the cheer of the
onlookers as the brave animals pulled
one another over the pavement. Then
there was an uproar and Officer O'Con-
nor was seen Fastening to the scene.
He elbowed his way through the as
semblage, 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. I'll bet that's the first
blade on record that ever was the
cause of the blockade of street"

ORIGIN.
Of. Eamou. Human Food.

VI SSS'
The s.ory of great discoveries or in
ventions is always of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered 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 hnd food that woui:
carry him along and renew his physi-
cal and mental strength.
He knew tLat a food that was
brain and nerve builder. (rather than
q mere fat makcr), 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 GraperNuts, 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 a marked sturdiness
and activity of the brain and nervous
system, making 1t a 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.
Its 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."

Advancement Of Japan.

1t has not taken Japan long to get
into the ways of civilization. Less than
five years ago the consular courts,
such as the civilized nations maintain
for the protection of their citizens In
semi-civilized countries, were abolished
in Japan. This summer an internation-
al exposition is in progress in Osaka
with exhibits from various Occidental
nations. and a surprisingly large dis
play Of Japanese products manufac-
tured In the modern way. There has
been no greater marvel in the indus

stagnation to Western life. There are

greater marvel.
