A SUCCESSFUL SALESMAN.
Sold Sea Water and When Tide Went Out Purchaser Thought Him
 Wonder

Tte late Thomas Bracket Reed used to relate the following incident which hap pened one summer while he was spending few days in a small fishing village on the New England coast, says the New York Times
 A young countryman who had been ad- vised to take sea baths registered al the village hotel one evening, and shortly after ward sauntered down to the beach. Espy- ing d grizzed old fisherman mending his nets beneath a sign which informed one that B- had boats and tackle to let and bait for sale, he accosted the veteran and asked him if the water was not for sale also. On receiving an affirmative reply the countryman returned to the hotel, ob, tained couple of buckets, and having paid the price asked, filled them and returned to his room to carry out the doctors 1n- structious.
 On the following morning he happened down at the beach when the tide was out. and after contemplating the broad re- ceding beaches for some minutes, ap- proaened his acquaintance of the evening before and remarked in a tone of admira ton: Gosh! but you must have done some business last night"

Naval Gunnery Records.

It appears from tabulated statement of the results of the annual target prac- tice issued by the navy department that the gunners of our fleet have attained a very high degree of accuracy. This is particularly true with regard to guns of fve-inch caliber and upward The north Atlantic and the Asiatic battle ship squadrons have distinguished themselves by records of S7.27 per cent. and S2.S4 per cent, respectively The cruisers have not done so well as the battleships. The explanation is simple enough. The larger vessel constitutes a steadier gun platform in a seaway, and. its guns being placed higher. a more perfect range is secured This eonelu- sion is emphasized by the fact that the gun practice of the torpedo flotillas was very unequal.-Philadelphia Record.

UNFITTlNCLY REWARDED.
An Attempt to Sow the Seed of Wis. dom Meets with an Awful
 Repulse.

"The fact that ones opportunity fo; spreading wisdom may occasionally fall on stony ground. was forcibly im- pressed upon me" said Senator Me Carren, recently relates the New York Press. when I recently went to visit an upstate friend. To reach his home from the station I had a night drive of four miles to make in a hack driven by boy of 16. The horse was old, the ride slow and tedious and the youth full driver inclined to fall asleep Thinking to interest him in something I remarked: I see you are going due west
 How do you know?' he asked
 Why. there is the north star replied, pointing to it.
 How do you know it's the north star?'
 By the pointers I said
 What pointers?'
 Well, I told the boy how to fEd the north star. Then I pointed out two 9i the planets. The boy seemed widea- wake now, and l went on to give him what apparently was his first lesson In astronomy, telling him how Jupiter was 1900 times as large as the eartd and how Mars showed changes of sea sons-how it had bays end canals anG so forth. and was supposed to be iu- habited
 ''The next evening I returned to the village where I had hired the hack, and l noticed that sundry persons seemed to have certain humorous interest in me It was 30 eviden. that I was the object of some curiosity or joke that I made inquiries and finally found a man who could tel. me
 "Why,' said my informant, you've made a great reputation for yourself around here
 "In what way? I asked
 "'Oh, the kid that drove you over 10 - last night was telling all the set tiers around here this morning that of all the liars he ever heard you were the slickest.'"

Eloquence Misunderstood

When Senator Newlands. of Nevada, was debating his resolution to annex Cuba he exclaimed dramatically:
 This argument furnishes every kind of fuel that eloquence needs"
 He sent down for the transcript of his speech. The young woman type writer who took the dictation of the stenographer from the phonograph had made it:

OLD FASHIONED
But Still in the Fashion.

It is an ever new and interesting story to hear how one can be entirely made over by change Of food.
 For two years l was troubled with what my physician said was the old fashioned dyspepsia.
 There was nothing I could eat but 20 or 30 minutes later I would be spit dng my food up in quantities until I would be very faint and weak This went on from day to day until I was terribly wasted away and without any prospects of being helped.
 One day l was advised by an old lady to try Grape-Nuts and cream. leaving off all fatty food. had no confidence that Grape-Nuts would do all she said for me. as l had tried SO many things without any help. But it was so simple I thought I would give 1t trial, she insisted so.
 Well, ate some for breakfast and pretty soon she lady called to see her patient, as she called me, and asked If had tried her advice.
 "'Glad you did. child, do you feel some better!
 No I said. T do not know as I do, the only difference can see is I have no sour stomach, and come to think of it, l haven't spit up your four teaspoons of Grape-Nuts yet
 Nor did I have any trouble with Grape-Nuts then or any other time. for this food always stays down and my stomach digests it perfectly; I soon set strong and well again and bless Hat old lady every time I see her.
 ~0nee an invalid of 9S pounds I now weigh 125 pounds and feel strong and Ssal, and it is due entirely and only to aaring found the proper food in Grape. 2uts." Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek. Mich.

BY MRS. MAVERICK.
Thanked Friends for Past Kindness and
Claimed Innocence.

London, August 12.-The Daily
Chronicle this morning prints a
three-column interview with Mrs.
Florence Maybrick, mostly con-
cerned with her experiences during
her life in prison. The interview
describes Mrs. Maybrick as clear
witted, outspoken, kindly, robust
and in no way shattered, either
physically or mentally, though her
face is drawn as with grief and suf-
fering. and says that she answered
the questions put to her frankly
and WITHOUT embarrassment or ner-
vousness.
Describing the arrangements for
her release. Mrs. Maybrick said
she could never hope to repay the
debt Of gratitude she owed Aulbas-
sador Choate. Henry White. secre-
tary Of the American embassy ard
other kind friends. and she wished

it known how good the officials OF
the American embassy had been to
her as a practical recognition of the
fact that the United States immi-
grafton commissioners had decided
that she would be regarded as an
American citizen, she said that
Ambassador Choate provided a
gentleman escort for her when she
left Truro.
To the interviewer Mrs. May
brick protested her innocence as
firmly as she had done at begin
ming, and said,
I am praying for the time when
my innocence will be proved to the
world.
She says he experienced nothing
but kindness from the prison off
Gals, and spoke with deep graft
tude of the late Lord Chief Justice
Russell s efforts in her behalf. The
last time she saw Baron Russell he
took her hands in farewell and said:
Be brave and strong. I believe you
to be innocent and shall do all 1
can for you. +"
Mrs. Maybrick declared that she
was most anxious to get to the
United States, saying: shall feel
happier there !"
Mrs. MAVERICK requested the in
terviewer to quote her as sending
the following message to her
friends: ITO you all I give my
heartfelt thanks for your noble
fight in behalf of an innocent and
defenseless woman. 1 earnestly
pray that the day is not far distant
when the wrong that has been done
me will be demonstrated. "
Mrs. Maybrick was unable to say
as to her plans after the
lawsuit which she has brought in
the United States has been settled.
I want, she said, a change of
scene to forget and to forgive and
to spend my time with kind-heart-
ed friends.
Asked whether she would change
her name, Mrs. Maybrick replied:
I do not know. l am afraid
shall have little peace while hold
hat of Maybrick, but why should
t be so? Let me die out of memory
have suffered enough, God knows.
Make the rest of my DAYS as easy
IS you can.
