beth referred-thc assassination of
the poor old man in his sleep
Later on in the day. just before
starting to the station. MIR. Burritt. on
looking at his watch. noticed that it
had stopped. Then he remembered
that he had forgotten to bring his
watch key, and had. consequently.
been obliged to omit the ceremony of
winding it mp the night before. It
occurred To him that his friend. who
was packing his portmanteau in the
next room. might he able TO supply
the deficiency.
He left his own room and knocked
at the door of the one adjoining. But
the occupant of the apartment, whom
he heard moving about within. appar-
emily did not hear the knock so, after
waiting a few seconds. he turned the
handle and entered.
The other was standing in front of
the dressing table and with his back
TO the door. so that his actions were
reflected in the mirror He was dress
ed all but his coat. and was carefully
examining some article which caught
the light as he turned it over in his
hand. He wheeled round suddenly,
with a quick frown. on hearing the
sound of the opening of the door and
Mr. Burritt's involuntary exclamation
OF alarm when he saw how his friend
was employed.
Good heavens" he exclaimed.
what are you doing with that thing"
MY dear fellow" said the other,
reEaining his composure instantane-
ously. what on earth are you making
such a fuss about? Did you never see
revolver before"
"Of course have" answered Mr.
Bmritt. somewhat Indignantly. But
there. for goodness sake. put the thing
down. I hate to see you trifiins with
it in that way. 1t gives me the cold
shivers."
You alarm yourself unnecessarily

tention of blowing my brains out.

to say that you are in the habit of

Food That Carries One Along.

IT'S nice to know of food that not
only tastes delicious but that puts the
snap and go into one and supplies
staying power for the day.
A woman says: Il have taken
enough medicine in my time to fur
nish drug store, but in later and
wiser years l have taken none but
nave depended. for the health | now
enjoy, on suitable and sustaining
food of which l keep on hand q tested
variety. plain but nourishing.
"Of these my main dependence is
Grape Nuts. especially IL | have be-
fore me day of unusual effort eth
er mental or physical. In this case
/ fortify myself the first thing in the
morning with about teaspoonfuls
of Grape-Nuts moistened with cream
and not much else for breakfast and
the amount of work 1 can then carry
through successfully without fatigue
or exhaustion is a wond to those
about me and even to myself.
"Grape-Nuts food is certainly a
wonderful strengthener and is not
stimulant. for there is no reaction aft
erwards, but 1t is sustaining and
Strengthening. as l have proved by
long experience" Name given by
Postum Co.. Battle Creek, Mich.
There's a reason four teaspoonfuls
of Grape-Nuts and cream will add
more strength and carry one further
than n plateful of coarse heavy food
that is nearly all waste. Grape-Nuts

A PHYSICIANS Statement

Yorktown. Ark, Jan. 11.-Leland
Williamson. NJ. D., one of our cleverest
physicians. has made a statement, en-
dorsing Dodd's Kidney Pills and say
ing that he uses them in his daily prac-
tice in preference to any other Kidney
medicine. His statement has created
a profound sensation, as it is some
what unusual for physician to pub
licly endorse anything in the shape OF
a patent medicine. DIR. Williamson
says:
After twenty years practice in
sickly and malarious country | have
come to the conclusion that it IS al
ways best to use the remedy that will
relieve and cure my patients, whether
ethical or not.
II have used Dodd's Kidney Pills
with uniform success in the various
forms of Kidney Disease. Pain in the
Back, Gout. rheumatism, Innamma-
tion and Congestion of the Kidneys
and all kindred diseases; | always pre-
scribe Dodd's Kidney Pills in such
cases and can testify that they in
variably restore the Kidneys to their
normal state and thereby relieve the
blood of accumulated poisons, produc-
ing prompt and effective cures"

Youths Ambition.


During last seasons road tour of
S'The Little Princess" Millie James
became greatly interested in one of
the players in her support. He was a
young fellow engaged to impersonate
one of the Lascar servants. He was
good looking, earnest and reliable.
but most mysterious in his habits.
His principal assistance to the COM
pany was in making the transforma-
tion scene in the second act. He had
no lines to speak, but it is so impor-
tant that the scene Should be changed
quickly and properly that application
was made by the managers to dra-
matte school for young man who
would be reliable as the Lascar, and
who could understudy some of the
other parts.
He was never seen in the daytime
except when the company was travel
ing. At night except for the few min
utes he was on the stage, he stayed
in his dressing-room reading. All eff
forts to make him sociable were re-
buffed until Miss James got his con-
fidence. She found that he had made
UP his mind to be physician and
was studying to that end. In the day
light hours he makes cigars in his
rooms, which he disposed of for a

Cause of the Trouble.

We are indebted to the press bu-
reau of the Savage forces for this
suggestion of cause for the recent in
ternational complications. Possibly
one of Henry WIS young men is re-
sponsible for the Panama Colombian
Tall-Type press imbroglio. Runs the
squib:
1t is surely more than mere CO.
incidence-more than what has been
called Savage luck''-that just as the
new Blossom-Robyn comic opera.
The Yankee Consul" has been
launched with marked success the
government should send fleet of
warships to Puerto Plata in Santo
Domingo, where the scenes of the
opera are located. Puerta Plata hadn't
been heard of in years until THE
Yankee Consul was produced by
Henry w. Savage. But here is where
the startling coincidence comes in.
1t was no sooner announced that
George Ade and Gustav Luders had
about completed The Sho-Gun," a
comic opera with scenes located in
Corea. for Mr.. Savage than Russia
and Japan rushed their finest war
ships to Corea and began to wrangle
for its possession.

French Tutors Odd "Ad."

Clyde Fitch, the playwright, collects
in scrapbooks specimens of the errors
foreigners making in dealing with
strange tongues. One of Mr.. Fitch's
scrapbooks is devoted to French-Eng-
lish-the sort of English that French
men sometimes use. An addition was
made to this volume the other day. Il
was a French tutors advertisement
clipped from a London newspaper, and
it ran:
"A young Paris man shall desire to
show his tongue to classes of English
gentlemen. Address. etc.
