Who were you? In your dainty day
Did you once tread a measure
And havoc with the beaus' hearts play
Your whim their pleasure?
Did you look out above your fan
With piquant glances.
And n0lie willing slave of man
Between the dances?
Or lived you in some poet's BRAIN
An artists fancy
A beauty he could only feign
BY necromancy?
Perhaps-poor chap-he loved you too.

On Dresden china.

Condensed Sentiment.

The English custom of abbreviating
familiar phrases by using the initial
letter Of each word is one of the first
to arouse the interest and occasionally
the amusement of Americans.
'R. l. p" signifying REST in peace"

and recently on a very old stone a tour
ist discovered an epitaph which read
something like this:

to dinner at noon and to remember not
to cross the Johnsons' pasture, where
rattlesnakeS had been seen recently.
Barbara went briskly toward the
woods with feeling that on such a
day it was indeed good to be alive.
Well down the road she passed the
great arched gateway of the sanitari-
UNI, and, looking up the steep drive
way, she could see the buildings perch
&c. on the hill. She had not been down
road for ten years, but she sud
y remembered, with a little thrill
pity for its inmates, that the red
k building on the extreme left was
insane pavilion.
She took the little foOtpath which
led across the lower end of the sani-
tarium grounds and into the pine
woods She found place where giant
pines lowered many feet skyward and
the ground was covered thickly with
pine needles. Here she sat down and
listened for time to the tinkle of
tiny brook hard by and the signing of
the breeze through the pine tops. She
had just opened the little red volume
when the cracking of twig warned
her of some ones approach. She look
ed up. Before her, hat in hand, stood
handsome, well groomed young man,
who regarded her with steadiness of
d gaze decidedly disconcerting. As she
looked up he bowed gravely.
Good morning, Princess Louise" he
said in a cheerful voice. Really de-
lightful morning, isn't it?'
Barbara's mouth curved scornfully.
Then, all at once, the truth flashed up
on her. This man before her was
strayed inmate of the insane pavilion.
Her eyes opened wide in alarm and
made her doubly charming-at least so
thought the young man with a keen
sense of pity
Charming spot here" he went on
easily. "Let me congratulate you OH
your choice"
Barbara's heart was beating wildly.
The man might be dangerous, and she
was at his mercy. She remembered
she had heard somewhere it was best
and safest to humor lunatics. So,
smothering desire to scream, she
faced the intruder with as much COM
posture as she could summon

"Oh, no. indeed not" she assured
him, at the same time extending her
wrist to him. He pulled out his watch
and took her wrist lightly in his hand.
Presently he dropped it and returned
the watch to his pocket.
"Ah, thank you" he said as he drew
a tablet from his pocket and began
writing rapidly on one of the pages

and as it lay on the ground near her

full amount of $1,000 due on the notes

was the outgrowth Of disagreement
between landlord and tenant, Mr.
Howell having rented the Cartwright

A counter claim Of the defendant, in

from the place but was beaten in a
Justice court at Luray owing to the
fact that Howell had a term lease.

FEEDING A DOCTOR.
His Body Changed by Change Of Food

His Body Changed by Change Of Food.
A convincing bit of testimony to
show what simple change Of food
can sometimes do to end apparently
incurable disease is told in the follow
ing article by q Chicago physician.
",The case is my own. had been
suffering for more than Is years with
nervous dyspepsia, insomnia, occas-
ional kidney trouble. and general dis
turbance Of my whole system. My
appetite was affected and so lost
weight and strength, but most serious
of all was the gradual failure Of my
(~-1ory proving that my brain and
nerves were not getting the prop
err food any more than the rest Of my
body.
"Three times made the Journey to
Carlsbad, and spent fortune consult
Ing famous physicians and specialists
in this country and Europe but never
got any permanent results. All the
medicines known by science failed to
give even temporary relief In spite OF
the fact that was always exceedingly
careful in my diet. was on the verge
of despair and never looked forward
to being we'll again.
zone day about two years ago was
staying at a hotel in Minneapolis ac-
companied by a famous European
physician, DIR. Werner, of Berlin. and
there we noticed a new food on the
menu called Grape-Nuts. Having little
desire to eat ordered some just to see
what it look< like and then was per-
suaded to/ 1T.
.what i experienced was not short
of wonderful.
"Not only did the new food taste so
good I relished 1t, but for the first time
in many years felt entirely free from
the terrible pressure on the stomach
which had always suffered even after
the highest meal. On my return to
Chicago my very first act was to order
Grape- Nuts sent to my home where
the whole family relish it SO they use
it daily without any urging, and we ex-
pect to do SO as long as we live.
"As a result only Of this change OF
food to Grape-Nuts the awful disease
which I suffered with for more than 20
years disappeared entirely in about
three weeks. l have regained my
health, strength and vigor and about
% pounds In weight. All Of this Is
due to the thoroughly nourishing and
completely digestible character Of this
