WANTS HER FREEDOM
FAMOUS WOMAN, SWINDLERs MAY


PARIS, Oct. 31.-Mme. Therese
Humbert, convicted for one of the
greatest swindles Of modern times,
is said to be seriously i'll in the
prison at Rennes. Friends and her
creditors will draw up a petition
asking for her parole, believing
she will be able to repay most of
her creditors when she regains her
liberty.
The Humber Affair.
Twenty years ago, far away, a
gentleman named Robt. Crawford
has an epileptic fit. He suffers. He
is an American. likewise a million
aire. He suffers alone. No one
will attend him in this his agony.
He will expire? No; at the last
moment short, stout, plain little
woman appears. She fears neither
the commissions nor the millionaire.
She nurses Robt. Crawford, who
RECEIVERS and returns to his dear
America. There he dies and his
nurse becomes his heiress.
Millions upon millions of francs,
all in one large iron safe! The
reward for faithfulness and skill in
nursing. 1t Is romance. Also
there is a villain-two villains.
They are nephews of that es-
teemed Robert. They dispute the
will and refuse a compromise
In Paris is rejoicing. There is
an extravagant and a most delight

Lew Wallace in 1859.

The passing OF Gen. Lew Wallace
brings to mind an incident in his ex-
perience in military affairs that did
not give any intimation of his subse-
quent distinction either as a military
chieftain or as an author, writes wet
eran" in the New York Sun.
In 1859 at Lafayette, Ind, there was
a military encampment of several mi
itia companies from Indiana and Ken
lucky Gen. Simon Boliver Buckner
was commandment, and Mr.. Lew Wal
lace, first lieutenant of a Crawfords-
Vile organization. was appointed adju-
tant. At the first guard mounting, a
new eNT -rience for Mr. Wallace, he
got mixed up somewhat, having the
sergeants. corporals and privates of
the guard all in one rank, without re-
gard to relative positions. Gen. Buck
ner. who was looking on with evident
dissatisfaction, said to me: Captain.
kindly go over and show Mr.. Wallace
how to mount guard; he knows abso-
lutely nothing about it. although he
has a copy of the Army Regulations in
his hands"
A few years ago Gen. Wallace was
at the Waldorf-Astoria, and Gen. Buck
ner at the Fifth Avenue, and brought
them together. Wallace" said Buck
ner. in the course of conversation,
your military history and mine were
somewhat different Your first expert
ence at Lafayette. Ind. was a failure
decidedly, but you learned something
during the war and ended in a blaze
of glory. while graduated at the Mill
tary Academy. and well-you know

Men die long before their time be-
cause they try to crowd too much into
their experiences-they climb too
high and fall too hard. A wise woman
writes of the good that a simple diet
has done her:
Il have been using Grape-Nuts for
about six months. I began rather spar
ingly, until I acquired such a liking
for 1t that for the last three months
I have depended upon it almost en-
tirely for my diet, eating nothing else
whatever. but Grape-Nuts for break
fast and supper, and / believe / could
eat it for dinner with fruit and be sat
isfied without other food. and feel
much better end have more strength
to do my housework.
when 1 began the use of Grape
Nuts was thin and weak, my muscles
were SO soft that 1 was not able to do
any work. I weighed only 1OS pounds
Nothing that I ate did me any good.
I was going down hill rapidly, was
nervous and miserable, with no ambi-
ton for anything My condition inn
proved rapidly after 1 began to eat
Grape-Nuts food 1t made me feel
like a new woman; my muscles got
solid, my figure rounded out, my
weight increased to 126 pounds In q
few weeks, my nerves grew steady
and my mind better and clearer. NY
friends tell me they haven't seen me
look so well for years.

food ON the market, and shall never go
back to meats and white bread again"

Interesting to the Grand Army.


Members of the Grand Army are
deeply interested in the opinion which
Corporation Counsel Delany has been
asked by the Board of Estimates to
give concerning the right of the city
to appropriate money for Decoration
day services The issue was raised
by Controller Grout when a request
was made by the Grand Army of the
Republic in Richmond for an appro-
LriatiOn to meet the expenses this
year. Mr.. Grout said that he seri-
orsly doubted the constitutionality OF
doing such a thing because the Con-
stitution of the State provides that no
public money shall be expended for
any private enterprise. Under this
clause, the Controller believes that
the city has been acting without legal
authority in making the appropria-
tons in former years. The DISPOSE
ton of the board members seemed to
be to grant the money, but the ques-
ton was finally referred to the Cor
roration Counsel for an opinion. 1t
has been the custom of the city for
many years to make appropriations to
the Grand Army of the Republic or
CARNATIONS of the various counties
within the city limit for the Decora-
ton day services and, as a rule there
has never been any question raised
