The captain of second class cruiser
which has lately returned to Devonport
from the North American station to pay
off tells an amusing story against nim-
self The ship touched at one OF the
French islands In the West Indies, and
the captain went ashore In due course
TO return the visit Of the British consul.
On his arrival, says the London Mail, ne
beheld one Of the senior petty officers
Of his ship, to whom he had granteu
eight hours leave, sprawling In
luxuriant chair on the veranda, pufhng
at a big Havana. The captain curtly
asked him what he was doing there.
The sailor, between the puffs or his
big cigar, blandly retorted that he was
there on a visit to Bill And who the
deuce is Bill?" snapped the skipper.
"Why. the consul here-him as | allow
you've come to pay your respects to-"
"How dare you speak with such Ia
miliarity of one of his majesty's con-
sulsY" thundered the captain. "Oh,
Bills all right" explained the petty ofn-
Ger complacently. Hes my SON." Ana
as the captain fell back breathless WIN
indignation and incredulity the consul
himself came In and exclaimed, An
captain, I'm glad my old man was
here to receive your

DR.. B., who is the pastor OF a north
side congregation, is in a quandary,
hesitating, as it were, between his faith
in the city health department and his
loyalty to his flock. One very cold
Sunday the latter part Of the winter
the attendance at services was so small
as to prompt him to inquire as to the
cause. Everywhere he met the same
response, "Illness." That eased his con-
science, and he went home.
The next day in reading his morning
papers he saw the health department
report. in which it was said that the
snowfall of a few days previous was
a great health giver to the city; that II
laid the germ laden dust and purified
the atmosphere.
"Well, WELL" soliloquized the doctor

heard on the day before, 81 have i'm

MAN AS AN ENGINE.
He Runs with Less Waste Than Any
Engine Yet Devised.


ITO test the efficiency Of man as
an engine" says the Boston Herald,
professor Atwater Of Wesleyan uni
versity has been engaged recently In
making some remarkable experiments,
employing a stationary bicycle as
means of measuring the power devel-
oped by a muscular rider.
"By the simple expedient of making
the tire of the rear wheel-the cycle
has no front wheel-pass between two
electro magnets which are connected
with dynamo all Of the energy trans
mitted to the pedals is converted into a
current Of electricity. This current
can be measured, and thus it is ascer-
tanned exactly how much power Is EN-
ployed.
1.-THE rider operates his wheel inside
of a great box Of wood lined with met
al. He is not permitted to leave the
box for several days and nights, and
all of his food and drink are carefully
weighed. In this way the amounts OF
fuel and water supplied to the human
engine are accurately ascertained, and
the total energy which they represent
can be easily figured out.
"As q result Of the experiment 1t has
been found that man Is much Det-
ter engine than locomotive, yielding
nearly twice as much power for CIV
en- amount of fuel. He is superior In
this respect to the best and most eco
nomical pattern of automobile. In
fact. no kind of engine as yet contriyed
steam, gasoline or electric-is equal
TO him as a producer of energy.
professor Atwater says that the
most economical engine built today
utilizes, In the shape Of work, only 10
per cent of the energy contained IN
the fuel supplied to it. The human
power machine develops 20 per cent
without counting what is required to
keen the internal mechanism OF the
body running. OF course it takes con-
siderable power to keep the heart
nump going and the digestive appara-
tus in operation. To reckon the eA-
penditure for these and other functions
at an additional 20 per cent would not
be over the mark.
Thus it is seen that the human en-
CINE runs with much less waste than
any mechanical contrivance yet de.
yised. Man stands today the model
machine, and, with all his vaunted IN
genuity, he cannot construct an sppa'
ratus that comes near to equaling his
own body as work producer, nor
indeed, will any other kind Of engine
though built Of the best oDtalhaDie
materials, run for anything ike SC
long a period without wearing out. re-
quiring In the same time SO small al
expenditure for repairs"

T. s. Hogan, former secretary of
state, but who is now practicing law
at Billings, was here today as attor-
ney for A. Wesley in his preliminar,
hearing, who is charged with first
degree murder for the shooting of Hugh
Redmond at Kirby some time ago.
Frank A. Markham, Geo. w. Smith
and E. w. kolltnar were in as wit
nesses. The evidence brought out was,
in effect, that Redmond and Wesley
had been wrestling, boxing. ETC., and
taking few drinks on the side, one
thing leading to another until they
finally became ,ncensed at each other
and came to blows. They were parted
and Wesley going into his store told
Redmond never to set foot therein
again. whereupon Redmond started to
go in after Wesley who fired the shot
which caused Redmond's death.
Wesley was bound over to the district
court. An attempt will be made to
coming session of the district court,
when we are informed Wesley will
petition for change of venue.

A Wonderful Discovery.

Broadlands, S. D., April 17.-Quite q
sensation has been created here by
the publicat ton of the story Of G. w.
Gray, who after a special treatment
for three months was PROSTATE and
helpless and given UP to die with
Bright's disease. Bright's disease has
always been considered incurable, but
evidently from the story told by Mr..
Gray, there is a remedy which will cure
it, even in the most advanced stages.
This Is what he says:
81 was helpless as little babe. My
wife and | searched everything and
read everything we could find about
Bright's disease, hoping that l would
be able to find remedy. After many
failures my wife insisted that should
try Dodd's Kidney Pills. l praise God
for the day when l decided to do so.
for this remedy met every phase of
my case and in a short time l was able
to get out of bed and after a few
weeks treatmen I was strong, we'll
man. Dodd's Kidney Pills saved my
life"
A remedy that will cure Bright's dis
ease will cure any lesser Kidney dis
ease. Dodds Kidney Pills are certain
ly the most wonderful discovery which
modern medical research has given to
the world.

HONEST CONFESSION.
A Doctors Talk on Food.

There are no fairer set Of men on
earth than the doctors, and when they
find they have been in error they are
usually apt to make honest and manly
confession of the fact.
A case in point is that of an emf
nent practitioner, one Of the good old
school, who lives in Texas. His plain.
unvarnished tale needs no dressing up:
II had always had an intense preju-
dice, which 1 can now see was unWar-
rantable and unreasonable, against all
muchly advertised foods. Hence.
never read line Of the many ads Of
Grape Nuts, nor tested the food till
last winter.
"While in Corpus Christi for my
health, and visiting my youngest son,
who has four Of the ruddiest, healthi-
est little boys 1 ever saw, 1 ate my
first dish of GrapeNuts food for sup
per with my little grandsons. | be-
came exceedingly fond Of it and have
eaten a package of it every week since,
and find it a delicious, refreshing and
strengthening food, leaving no i'll eff
fects whatever, causing no eructations
with which 1 was formerly much trou-
bled), no sense of fullness, nausea, nor
distress Of stomach in any way.
"There is no other food that agrees
with me so well, or sits as lightly or
pleasantly upon my stomach as this
does. 1 am stronger and more active
since l began the use Of Grape Nuts
than have been for ten years, and am
NO longer troubled with nausea and In
