i CONDENSED STORIES.
How q Mild Man Got the Best OF Two
impairment Women.

tHIPCTkiVCut "oHiCts
Frederick Gerhard told an anus
ing story of a railway tunnel.
"a friend of mine," he said, "sat
reading in the parlor car of a train
when two women entered. After
that he read in comfort no longer,
for it happened that he was dressed
in English clothes of a pronounced
type, and to these clothes the wom-
en- for some reason took exception.
They snickered in my friends face;
they kept whispering to one anoth-
er, with gigglcs and sidewise glances
at him; they kept saying in tones
that he could hear:
"Did you ever see such shirt?
"Pot hats-fried egg hats-you
call those things
"Don't the trousers fit funny?
"My friend is a mild man, but
after ten or fifteen minutes of this
adverse criticism his blood began to
boil. He asked himself how he could
get even with the women. While
he was revolving various schemes
in his mind the train entered long
black tunnel, and Immediately q
happy thought came to him.
"Half way through the tunnel he
put the back of his hand to his
mouth and kissed it violently and
noisily four or five times. The wo-
men after that were silent. He
watched them when the train came
out into the light again, and it
pleased him to see how strangely
they looked at one another. He,
for his part, looked at them in an
equally strange way. For a long
time he looked at them; then he
said:
"'Which one of you was it that
kissed me in the tunnelY"
His Estimate Of FrOude.
Hannis Taylor, in his argument be-
fore the Alaskan boundary commits
sion, told a story Of Edward A. Free
man, the English historian, whom he
knew we'll. On one occasion. when
dining with him at a hotel in st. Louis.
Mr.. Taylor innocently asked him, "Alr.
Freeman, what Is your estimate OF
Froude as a historian?" Said Mr.. Tia!
lor: "He looked at me in strange kind
Of way, and then he replied: I will
toll you what think about Froude. If
ever you read anything lie writes read
it with care. Read 1t over and over
again and fix it in your mind so thai
you will never forget It, for then you
will know one thing for certain. and
that is that by no possibility did il
ever happen in that way"

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most .compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
covered the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish I particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, its natr'-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses
aids digestion, stimulates the liver
to healthy action, purifes the
blood and makes you feel buoyant
and vigorous. You can get DR..

TIE Giver OF Grace.

Jesus was full of pity and compass
sion, the divine love manifcsting itself
In a free will offering for mans saliva
ton. He was Grace itself, the gift OF
God, and also the eIver OF grace, grace
personifin6. Grace is love, and God
Is love, and this is His divinast express
sion. and Christ is its personal mani
fcstation. And the manifestation of
grace in Jesus is the greatest and most
blessed revelation Of God to man. This
Christ. who was pre-eXistent and In
the bosom of the Father, declares of
His own authority. and this revelation
is truth. And Christ. who made grace
possible to q sinner and who declares
and bestows it, is Himself the Truth
because of his fullness of grace and
truth which He manifests in His per-
cons. w. Pratt in Evangelist.

The funeral from her lats home on Tues

in the future. It is we'll known that the
Retirement Fund his not been treated we'll
by the State government, and many and
vseied hive been the excuses for this ILL
treatment, none OF which has been satls-
faot,ry. Assemblyman Swackhamer's bill
is a ins5 one and should become a law.
