SET THE BURGLAR RIGHT.
Squire Was Angered at Dizziness OF

This is one of the many stories told
Of old Squire Latham, a Plymouth
county attorney of some years back
1t fully illustrates his GOODNESS and
love of method.
He was awakened one night by his
wife, who told him she thought there
were burglars In the house. the
squire put on his dressing gown and
went downstairs. In the back nall
he found a rough looking man trying
to open door that led into the back
yard.
The burglar had unlocked the door,
and was pulling it with all his might.
The squire, seeing the robbers pre-
dicament, called to him: 1T don't
open that way, you idiot! 1t slides
back !"-Boston Herald.

A Crocodile Superstition.
This was Tennysons favorite sigma

The superstition that deaths by
crocodile are the inevitable result i'm
mediately after a curtain has been
washed in the river has been constant
ly confirmed
A curious note upon this supersti-
ton appears in the monthly report of
w. B. Smith, district officer at Tim
bang Batu, North Borneo. He says:
Two crocodile fatalities have been
reported, and there have been several
narrow escapes. Toward the end Of
December the enlightened authorities
at Pangkalan Bandau sent up an aged
Chinaman to Timbang Batu under ar
rest for having washed his mosquito
net in the river. A woman was taken
in the same place by crocodile a few
hours later, coincidence which great
ly enhanced his guilt, while adding,
am afraid, fresh authority to the SUI
perstition. North Borneo Herald.

SAVED CHILD'S LIFE.
Remarkable Cure of Dropsy by Dodd's
Kidney Pills.

Sedgwick, Ark, June 1.-the case
of w S. Taylor's little son is looked
upon by those interested in medical
matters as one of the most wonderful
on record In this connection his faith
er makes the following statement:
Last September my little boy had
dropsy; his feet and limbs were swol-
len to such an extent that he could
not walk or put his shoes on. The
treatment that the doctors were giving
him seemed to do him no good, and
two or three people said his days
were short, even the doctors. two of
the best in the country told me he
would not get better. | stopped their
medicine and at once sent for Dodd's
Kidney Pills. | gave him three Pills
day, one morning, noon and night for
eight days; at the end of the eighth
day the swelling was all gone, but to
give the medicine justice, gave him
eleven more pills. | used thirty-fve
Pills in all and he was entirely cured,
consider your medicine saved my
child's life. When the thirty five Pills
were given him, he could run, dance
and sing, whereas before he was an
invalid in his mothers arms from
morning until night"

RAILWAY RATE LEGISLATION.

At the biennial convention of the
Order Of Railway Conductors recent
ly held at Portland, Oregon, resolu>
tons were unanimously adopted voic>
ing their sentiments as to the effect
of proposed railway rate legislation
on the 100000 railroad employees,
whom they in part represented. These
resolutions Endorse the attitude Of
President Roosevelt in condemning
secret rebates and other illegalities,
and commend the attitude of the
heads of American Railways, who,
with practical unanimity, have Joined
with the president on this question"
They then respectfully point out to
Congress the "inadvisability of legiS-
ation vesting in the hands of COM
mission power over railway rates,
now lower by far in the United
States than in any other country"
because such regulation would result
In litigation and confusion and in
evitably tend to an enforced reduc-
ton in rates, irrespective of the Ques
ton of the ability of the railroads to
stand the reduction, especially in view
Of the increased cost OF their supplies
and materials" They further protest
ed against such power being given to
the present Interstate Commission
because the proposed legislation is
not in harmony with our idea of
American Jurisprudence inasmuch as
1t contemplates that single body
shall have the right to investigate,
its decisions at the cost of the car
riers, pending appeal, which is mani
festly inequitable."
The conductors base their demand
for only such legislation IL any, as
would Secure and insure justice and
equity and preserve equal rights to all
parties concerned, on the ground that
the low cost of transportation is the
result of the efficiency of American
railway management and operation
which have built up the country
through constant improvement and
development of territory, while at the
same time recognition has been given
to the value of intelligence among en-
ployes in contrast to foreign methods,
where high freight rates and lowest
wages to employees obtain"
In pressing their claim against leg
islation adverse to their interests,
they point out the fact that 1.-The
freight rates of this country average
only two per cent of the cost of arti-
cles to the consumer, thus making the
freight rate so insignificant a factor
in the selling price that numerous
standard articles are sold at the same
price in all parts of the country"

immensely of Cars Palace,

The Winter palace is the largest
building in Europe. 1t was begun by
Peter the Great and finished by Cath
crime II. and is built of red sandstone.
1t contains the finest state rooms.
Beside these state rooms it has 1900
other rooms. The imperial nurseries
are very large, and when it is ex-
planned that one of the rooms is large
enough to hold a mountain" down
which the children toboggan, some
idea will be given of its magnitude.
This room is upholstered in red, and
here the royal children are taught and
are sometimes joined in their lessons

to the pleasure and increased meas
ure Of efficiency and health that have
come to me from adopting Grape-Nuts
food as one of my articles of diet.
For several years | was much dis
tressed during the early part of each
day by indigestion. My breakfast,
usually consisting of oatmeal, milk
and eggs, seemed to turn sour and
failed to digest. After dinner the
headache and other symptoms follow
ing the breakfast would wear away,
only to return, however, next morn

Having heard of Grape-Nuts food,
| finally concluded to give it a fair
trial. ! quit the use of oatmeal and
eggs, and made my breakfasts OF
Grape-Nuts, cream, toast and Postum.
The result was surprising in improv-
ed health and total absence of the
distress that had for so long a time.

ton became once more satisfactory,
the headaches ceased and the old
feeling of energy returned. Since that
time, four years ago, | have always
had GrapeNuts food on my breakfast
table.

whereas before began to use Grape
Nuts food | was quite nervous and be-
came easily wearied in the work of
preparing sermons and in study,
marked improvement in this respect
resulted from the change in my diet.

the publicity was such that few could
be found to submit to the ordeal, and
the shoeblacks, failing to make a liv-
