sorry to talk 1t over with some one Of
the family. He told Aunt Louisa what
had occurred.
well. where are you going?" she
asked
I'm going to tell the doctor"
you ought to have gone last night,
when you first heard of it" said Aunt
Louisa, severely.
But didn't want to squeal on AL
fred" said Uncle Jarve. =
Never mind Alfred" exclaimed
Aunt Louisa. you tell the whole
story"
They drove to Doctor Danbridge's
house at the Mills, but did not arrive
till nearly midnight, for the roads were
very muddy. The doctor had just come
in from long drive and gone to bed,
and at first he was not in a good humor
at being called up. Aunt Louisa was
a favNrite with him, however. When
he saw her he stopped grumbling; and
then, in a shamefaced manner, Uncle
Jarve made "a clean breast" of the
whole prank
At first the doctor stared blankly;
then he burst out laughing, but i'm
mediately turned grave. Among us
all we have put man in Jail for this"
he said, at last. what do you want
to do, young man? Take his placer"
81 will take his place." replied Uncle
Jarye.
Thereupon the doctor laughed again.
Il suppose that it was temptation
| to you to see an old fellow like me
driving along the road asleep" he re-
marked
But surely Dingley can now be
liberated" Aunt Louisa said.
I'm not so sure of that" replied
Doctor cambridge. He has been tried
and sentenced. The only way now
would be to get the governor to pardon
him-pardon him for what the poor
fellow never did"
But will consult Justice Hawkins
about this in the morning." he added.
1--WE must get Dingley out of Jail
somehow"
And there the matter rested for the
might. Aunt Louisa and Uncle Jarve
drove home and awaited developments.
| The next day statement of the case
was forwarded to the state capital, and
the governor and council were asked
| to act in the matter
There was some delay, however, and
the pedler spent eleven days in Jail
before being set free.
We expected that he would at once
prosecute Uncle Jarve e1d Alfred
SA-.lings for placing the trunk in his
cart; but the poor man was so glad to
get out of jail that he appeared not to
think of it. Grandfather Adams paid
| the costs of court, twenty-three dollars
in all, and made the pedler present
OF fifty dollars.
Alfred did not return home for a
month or more, and bore no share in
the expenses resulting from the prank.
He always boosted of the way he got
out of it.-Youth's Companion.

FEED YOU MONEY.


Ever since boyhood l have been
especially fond of meats, and am con-
WINGED / ate too rapidly, and failed to
masticate my food properly.
1.-THE result was that found myself,
a few years ago, afflicted with ailments
of the stomach and kidneys, which in
terfered seriously with my business.
'.At last took the advice of friends
and began to eat Grape-Nuts instead of
the heavy meats, etc, that had constl-
tuted my former diet.
II found that was at once benefited
by the change, that was soon relieved
from the heartburn and the indigestion
that used to follow my meals, that the
pains in my back from my kidney af-
lection had ceased, showing that those
organs had been healed, and that my
nerves, which used to .sa unsteady, and
my brain, which was slow and lethargic
from heavy diet of meats and greasy
foods, had, not in moment, but grad
ually, and none the less surely, been
restored to normal efficiency. Now
every nerve is steady ana my brain
and thinking faculties are quicker and
more acute than for years past.
After my old style breakfasts used
to suffer during the forenoon from a
feeling of weakness which hindered me
seriously in my work, but since !
have begun to use Grape-Nuts food
can work till dinner time with all ease
and comfort" Name given by Postum

LUCKY PooDLES.
Some of Them Have Outfits That Are
Valued at $4,000.


Valued at $4,000.
There are pet dogs in New York, I"
I insisted, worth $4,000 There are
st. Bernards worth $1,000 There are
women in New York who spent $1,000 a
year on clothes for their poodles."
ION clothes for their poodles?"
Certainly; on house coats, walking
coats, busters, sweaters, coats lined with
ermine at 5000 each, automobile coats
with hoods and goggles, and each coat
fitted with pocket for the poodle's
handkerchief of fine linen or lace"
II never heard of such thing"
1T is absolutely true Furthermore,
these women buy for their pet dogs
boots of different colored leather to
match the coats, house boots, street
boots, etc., that lace up nearly to the
knee and cost from SIS to So a pair. They
buy half dozen pairs at time. And
they buy collars set with rubies,
pearls and diamonds, at several hun
dred dollars each. A man who makes
a speciality of such collars told me of
woman who imported from Paris a
complete outfit for her poodle costing
$4,000. And one lady had a house
built for her dog, the exact model of a
Queen Anne cottage, with rooms pa
pered and carpeted and the windows
hung with lace curtains. Every morn
ing a woman calls Ga sort of dog gov
erness) to battle and comb and curl
and perfume the little darling, and
then take him out for his walk He
eats and drinks from silver dishes and
if he gets a stomach ache specialist
is promptly summoned"
What, dog Specialist"
Precisely. New York has its fash
ionabledog doctors, who get $40 a visit
and sleep with telephone at their
bedsides for night calls, like regular
practitioners. One lady whom / know
summoned a specialist from New York
to Newport, and kept him there for a
week at 500 day, because her poodle
was ailing. Success.

A Revised Fable.

\ discouraged ant watched a man
who was trying to wheel a heavy load
up hill.
Inc load was far beyond his
strength apparently, but he pushed
and laborei until he had nearly
reached the top.
Then, as he paused to rest, the load
escaped, rolled rapidly I, the bottom
and spilled out into the mud.
The man placed his hands upon his
hips and swore what is popularity
known as a "blue streak"
THAT seems a good, easy scheme
for one in trouble" said the insect.
II will try it,
but the ant speedily found himself
in the bug lookup.
Moral: While man may consider
the ant with exceeding benefit, it does
hot necessarily follow that the ant
may profitablv initiate man.

Pickpocket's Hand In = Mol,

Pickpocket's Hand In a Mole Trap.
Louis Hugon, young pickpocket of
seventeen, had most unfortunate ex-
perience this afternoon while exercis-
ing his profession.
A crowd had assembled around a
fallen horse in the Place d'Italie, and
Hugon saw a lady whose bullying peck
cts offered all kinds of tempting pos
sibilities. Without further ado he
deity introduced his hand, but in.
stead of grasping the expected purse,
found his finger securely caught in a
new mole trap which the lady had
just purchased. With Spartan-like
heroism he uttered no cry, but tried
to withdraw his hand. The lady, how
ever, became conscious that something
was wrong, and Hugon was seized by
the bystanders and handed, over to the
police The latter took him to the
Hospital de la Pitie, where the ampu.
tation of his finger was adjudged nee.

Chickamauga Park, Ca, May 31.-The
United States Government has here
in operation one of the largest acety-
iene gas plants in the world. The mil
itary post Mt the entrance OF the his
torical Chickamauga battlefield. where
thirty thousand Union and Confederate
soldiers were lost in the memorable
battle of September 10 and 20, 1868.

the seventy-five principal ones of which
are lighted with acetylene. To accom-
plish this six and one-haif miles of
mains and two miles of service pipes
are in use, while sixty-five street lamps
brilliantly illuminate the avenues OF
the post.
In 1908 the War Department in
stalled a test acetylene plant at Fort
Meyer, Virginia. The results were so
gratifying and the superiority of the
illumnant so evident that the Govern
ment, March 20, 1904, placed the con-
tract for the ChickamRuga plant, in
which every citizen of the United States
should have his pro ratatuf pride.
But the Government has not confined
its acceptance of acetylene to this mill
tary post. Since becoming satisfied Of
the efficiency, superiority hnd econom-
ical advantages of this particular H.
luminant, the United States has in
stalled number of plants in Indian

1t is matter for national congratu-
lation that in identifying so historic
a spot as Chickamauga, nothing but the
best, including the lighting system, has
been deemed good enough for the
American people.

An old lane, an old gate, an old house by
tree
A Wild wood, wild brook-they will not
let me be:
In boyhood l knew them, and still they
call to me.
Down deep in my hearts core hear them
and my eyes
Through tear-mists behold them beneath
the oldtime skies,
Mid bee-boom and rose-bloom and orchard
lands arise.
I hear them; and heartsick with longing
is my soul,
To walk there to dream there, beneath the
sky's blue bowl;
Around me, within me, the weary world
made whole.
To talk with the wild brook of all the long
ago,
To whisper the wood-wind of things we
used to know

The old hope, the old love, would ease my
