''Well, I'll tell you," said the pur.

Man Arrested for Completely in
Bank Robbery Had Reasons

LAS to circumstantial evidences, it's
a queer thing said the man in the
brown suit. Five or six years ago
was in a certain town for a night
when a bank was robbed Next
morning was arrested as an accom-
plice, it being contended that I was
seen idling in front of the bank and
evidently acting as sentinel to those
within. Three different persons iden-
tilted me as the man, and fourth
claimed to have seen me enter the
hotel at a late hour by way of a shed
and a window. I was locked up for
examination, and with a chance of
things going hard with me, when evil
dence began to come forward on my
side.

that I was sitting in the Office at 10
o'clock p. m. Two servants swore
they saw me going to my room half

Fugle, the sage, philosopher and guide
of the battery, yesterday afternoon,
as he hung his feet over the stern of

uonchalantly at the pipe of peace.
"Yes," he continued, 'that is the
story brought in by the steamship
Queen Eleanor from Samarang and
Alden. A friend O. mine, who is a
stoker on the Queen, told me they
had a reg'lar Saratoga during the trip
over. The sailors bet their money
and when that was lost staked their
dunnage on races between a score of
big swapping turtles, which were
brought over by the men simply to
have little sport with.
"On the second day out the sailors
dug out a half dozen of the monster
snappers and pasted numbers on their

And He Had the Stick.

A Duluth laborer who is something
of character in his way was sent
out the other day to dig ditch from
a street curb to a certain point in the
yard. He was given rule two feet
long to measure the distance. At the
close of the day he reported to his
superior.
did you dig the ditch, Jimmy?''
the latter inquired.
II did," replied Jimmy.
"How long was it?" he was asked.
"The length of the rule, the length
of the pick, the length of two bricks
and the length of a stick" answered
Jimmy, proudly.
"Have you the stick?' asked the
boss.
81 have" said Jimmy.-Duluth News

Founder of Church Indefati9nblo
In His Sacred Writinss-Con-
menced at the Age of Twenty
nine.

Wonder is always expressed and
doubts arise when the statement is
made that the Rev. Charles Wesley, a
clergyman Of the Church of England,
actually wrote seven thousand hymns
during his lifetime. This statement is
verified by the publication over his
own signature of thirty-nine books of
poetry, sacred and secular. 1t is doubt
full if there exists hymn book adopt
ed by any religious denomination
which does not contain several of his
sacred songs.
Thomas Moore wrote very few sa-
cred songs, but of. these few one
stands out pre-eminent and will be
sung till time be no more by the peo-
pie of this whole earth. "This song,
that always reaches the heart, is
Come, Ye Disconsolate," found in al
most every hymn book and never &C.

Impression That They Are Tuneless
a<. r.. Is a Mistake. "a H. <e55
1 There is a general impression that
there are no song birds in the Bermu-
jdas," said Frank. A. Meade of Los An
gelcs., 81 spent an autumn there, and
can give few facts about some of the
native birds. The native birds of Ber-
muda are the red bird Cardinals pu-
bra), bluebird, mocking bird, ground
dove,> kingfsher and chick of the vii
lage. The redbird's song is between
a warble and a shrill whistle. The
chick of the village reminds one of the
English wren. It's sprightly note may
be heard at intervals through the
year. The melody of the blue and
mocking birds are too familiar in Wis
consin to need Introduction. About
fifty kinds of birds, including mi
grants, have been observed. The mi
grant birds leave the coast of Ameri-
ca early in the autumn in large flocks
to seek southern latitudes, and stop
at islands on the way to rest. The
most frequent visitors are golden
plover, sandpipers, snipes, owls and
eagles. s.''-Milwaukee Free Press.

STRONGER THAN MEAT.
A judges Opinion Of Grape-Nuts.

A JUDGES Opinion Of Grape-Nuts.
A gentleman who has acquired a
judicial turn of mind from experience
on the bench out in the Sunhower
State, writes a carefully considered
0pinion as to the value of Grape-NLts
as food. He says:
For the past 5 years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature in our
bill of fare.
"The crisp food with the delicious,
nutty flavor has become an indispensa-
BILE necessity in my family's everyday
life.
1T has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps US all in perfect
physical condition-as a preventive Of
disease it is beyond value. have been
particularly impressed by the benefi-
cial effects of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies who are troubled with face
blenishes, skin eruptions, etc. It
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
LAS to it's nutritive qualities, my ex-
perience is that one small dish of
Grape-Nuts is superior to a pound .,t
meat for breakfast, which is an ;m-
portant consideration for anyone. It
satisfies the appetite and STRENGTHENS
the power Of resisting fatigue, wu.le
it's use involves none Of the disagree
able consequences that sometimes fol-
low a meat breakfast" Name given

Cost of Railway Mail Service.

Americans pay more for transporta-
ton of mail than all the other peoples
of the world combined. In the last
year for which comparative figures
are available 1901) it cost us $685.
100000 for railroad transportation of
mail alone. All the other countries
in the world paid for transportation
by all means only s37,00O,000, or ST.
100000 less than we alone paid
Freight and passenger rates have gone
down, They are cheaper here thar
abroad; express companies pay the
railroads about half the rates they
charge the government, and yet the
postoffice department continues to
pay for the transportation of mail just
as much as it paid thirty years ago
while all other transportation rates
have greatly decreased in that time

street and to the amazement of pass
ersby, began to run. He had not gone
far when his foot caught in some OBJ
struction and he fell. 1t was not the

acrobatic performance. He landed on
his stomach with hands and legs out
stretched.

asphalt was slippery In addition.
there is quite down grade at Cedar
street, where the sudden drop of mer-
curry took place. SO when he struck
the roadway he kept on going tobog-
gan fashion, for foot or two, his
hands and feet being used as brakes.
When the headway finally was
checked, the messenger boy arose,
slowly and sadly. His once natty
blue uniform was a finished study
black from collar to the ends of his
trousers. There was some bar. of
his hands and cash in one knee oi
his trousers seemed to open it's dumb
mouth TO protest against such treat
