HUMAN SIDE OF HOMER DAVEN

The reading public knows the car toonist as a man whose pen uncovers hypocrisy and puts the knife of ridi- cule into political bom5ast; but there is another side quite as interesting. It is his personal side; his home side; the side his outdoor, sportsman nature finds expression in at Morris Plains, at his little ranch, among his horses, his cattle. his sheep. his pheasants, his water fowl.
 At Morris Plains Farmer Davenport expresses himself. There he has com bined the beautiful with the practical, and made the little valley farm of for ty acres, on the Orange hills the home of rare birds and thoroughbred stock

It Was Made by a Man Who Accident
 ally Burned a Hotel.

St. Louis. Jan. 6.-Apparently con- scious stricken and his mind aflame with religious ardor, William Wilson, aged 32. of the Salvation Army re- cruits, walked into police headquarters today and confessed that on July 5, 1901, he set fire to the Occidental hotel in Forsythe, Rosebud county, Mont, which resulted in the death of one person and injury to twenty.
 Wilson declared that another man was in the penitentiary serving a sen tence for the deed, and that it was that he wished to ease his own con- science and give this man freedom that he surrendered himself.
 Wilson said that he did not fire the hotel Intentionally. bus accidentally dropped a burning match in the hall way, and when he saw the flames spring up he ran instead of raising an alarm. He fled straight to St. Louis and learned that another man had been sentenced to the penitentiary Cn cir cumstantial vidence, and recently while attending the Salvation Army meeting he broke down and confessed to the army captain.
 The Salvation Army officer accom- panied Wilson to the police station. He is being held by the police and notifi- cation has been sent to the Montana authorities.

Denver. Colo. Jan. 7.-When seen tG- night Governor Peabody declined to discuss the Injunction issued by Judge Seeds against the militia and others restraining the deportation of striking miners. He said he had received no official information of the injunction and until he did he had nothing to say.
 Adjutant General Bell. however. said he had been notified Of the courts action and instructed Colonel Verdeck- berg. commanding the state troops In the district not to permit service on himself CT other officers Of the guard.
 He declared that no attention would be paid to the courts order.
 Speaking of the vag:ancy order re- eently issued by Colonel Verdeckberg, Governor Peabody said today: While the order in Cripple Creek. is still in effect. I don't anticipate that any one will come under it's provisions, for I anl satisfied that most persons in the district at present are law abiding cit izens. The order simply applies to agi- tators and disturbers. No one will be forced to work if he does not care to-. and men can be idle as long as they behave themselves.

BACK TO PULPIT What Food Did for a Clergyman.

X minister of Elizabethtown tells how Grape Nuts food brought him back to his pulpit: Some 5 years ago had an attack of what seemed to be Lagrippe which left me in a complete i state of collapse and I suffered for some time with nervous prostration. My appetite failed, lost flesh till was a mere skeleton. life was burden to me, 1 lost interest in everything and almost in every body save my precious wifo
 Then on the recommendation of some friends I began to use Grape Nuts food. At that time I was a mis- erable skeleton, without appetite and hardly able to walk across the room; had ugly dreams at night, no dis position to entertain or be entertained and began to shun society.
 "I finally gave up the regular minis try, indeed I could not collect my thoughts on any subject, and became almost a hermit. After I had been using the Grape-Nuts food for a short WI ile I discovered that I was taking on neg life and my appetite began to improve; I began to sleep better and nay weight increased steadily; I had lost some 50 pounds but under the new food regime I have regained almost my former weight and have greatly improved in every way.
 T feel that I owe much to. Grape Nuts and can truly recommend che food to all who require a powerful re- building agent, delicious to taste and always welcome" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich. A true natural read to regain health, CT hold it, is by use of a dish of Grape Nuts and cream morning and night.

Admiral Evans Speaks of the Voyage
 Across the Pacific.


 Washington. Jan. Rear Admiral Evans. commander-in-c chief of the Asiatic fleet which recently made a cruise from Yokohama to Honolulu, says the cruiser squadron, which made twelve and a half knots was obliged to drop the collier because it was de- fcient in speed and the battleships could have increased the speed a knot ar a knot and a half The performance of the battleships was under trying conditions of weather, in the great Pacific swells The admiral has this sayI
 "aeavy swells with practically no wind continued from the fourth day out until the third day before arriving nt Honolulu. and l doubt whether at any time in my experience of 40 years I have seen swells so high as were experienced during about sven days of this run. I estimate that the height from the crest to hollow of the waves for about three days of this run ranged as high as thirty feet, and the general average height of the swells would be at least twenty feet.
 "The behavior of the battleship dur ing this weather was particularly good and thelr speed WdS pTdCllcdIly liCt hampered. The Oregon, considering her age and design, acted particularly we'll throughout the passage. During the entire trip the engines of none of the three battleships was stopped ex- cept for about thirty minutes during the ceremony attendant on the burial of one of the crew of the Wisconsin,

 Among the witnesses were Ed.;ja Foy. comedian of the "Bluebeard" company and George w. Stetson, rep resentative of the company which manufactured the asbestos curtain. The evidence of MT.
