Curious that Tired Preacher Should

A minister speaks of the curious eff
feet of Grape-Nuts food on him and
how it has relieved him.
You will doubtless understand how
the suffering with Indigestion with

perienced poignant physical distress
after meals, and my food never salts

six months have elapsed since I
began to use Grape-Nuts food, and the

Forty years ago young woman
bought enough black silk for a dress
IN a store in Worcester, Mass. A few
days ago she went back to the store to
match it, as she wished to make new
sleeves for the waist. She had worn
the dress for best all these years, and
It was still too good to throw away.
OF course 1t had been made over ohce
or several times, but for all that It sas
the same dress. And-would you be-

silk, not even when the clerk who sold
1t, now grown to be Che proprietor, was

The wrath an6 indignation with
which certain English collectors Of art
objects speak OF vulgar American
millionaires" are hardly justified. In
the matter of art purchases the Ameri-
can millionaire is certainly relieved of
the charge Of vulgarity by the fact
that he buys the very things that the
English cognoscenti most ardently
covet for themselves. OF course, the
mere possession of much money may
constitute a yulgarity, but even the
British critics would probably be will
ing to assume the stigma along with
the money-uD to a certain point, OF
course.

mystery surrounding his case. Heinz
owned the property, having pur-

alone. Early in the spring, Heinz
put in his potatoes and a lot of other
garden truck. One morning he got

walked away. He has never been

Heinz had no intention of staying
away from the place longer than a
few hours at most. He is a very
A few years ago he disappeared and
was gone for months. He left in his
bed the figure of man with its
head sticking out from under the COW
ers. The police, thinking Heinz was
lying dead in bed, broke in the door
only to discover the dummy. Heinz
is an inventor. Last winter he pat
buggy shaft connection. He showed
a letter to a reporter in which a man
ufacturer praised his invention, and
said he would give Heinz certain
amount of stock in his factory if he
would grant him the right to manu-
facture that invention. Afterward
Heinz told the reporter that he had
sold the patent, the price being sew
eral thousand dollars. Heinz said he
had invented other things. He in
vented canvas continuance which he
attached to the rods under freight
cars and rode all over the country
on it. The apparatus made a ham
mock under the car, and all Heinz
had to do was to climb in and rest
easy while the train was carrying him
over the country
Heinz is a German and about fifty
years of age. He wore a queer little
goatee by which some one will re-

mine for time, and was injured. Ben

The. Chicago sRecord-Herald is chuck
full OF dope about Bob Lawson, or
Reulbach, as he was legally named, at
one time a pitcher with Sedalia and
now a star twirler with the Chicago
Nationals. Here is the latest one:
Something of the snap that high
class professional baseball players en-
joy when playing for independent
teams was made known by Hub"
Hart, the new catcher of the White
Sox, yesterday, when he was telling of
the experience he and Reulbach, the
star pitcher OF the Cubs, had while
playing last summer with little team
at Hinsda1e, N H.
Although the town had only 500 in
habitantS it paid Reulbach $125
week to pitch for its team, the pride
of the town. That proved to be only
he made even more wages by receiving
on the side $3.50 for every man he
struck out and. $50 for every time he
pitched out of his turn. AS Hinsdale
met many hard teams Reulbach pitch
ed about about two extra games a
week. and in one game struck out
eighteen of his opponents, so that his
extra compensation for that game
alone amounted TO 94O lot SlI1kC-OutS
and $50 for taking another mans
turn in the box. his scale" for the day
being therefore sos.

rake off, for the ball players. He
had the baseball fever in the most ag-
gravated form. and frequently present
ed Reulbach with 500 notes for pull
ing a particularly tight game out of
the fire.
Most of the players on the IIinsdale
team were. like Reulbach and Hart,
college men, losing themselves for
the summer and picking UP what
money they could for next years ex-
penses at school. Many a minor
league team was brought to Einsdale
for exhibition games with the COL
legians, and then Reulbach's strike
outs would tickle the "angeP' of the
team so that he would shower the
crack twirler with more bank notes
for meritorious service.

THREE CoRNERED RACE.
Cleveland, Chicago, and Philadelphia
Close i'm American.

Chicago, July IA special to the
Tribune from Cleveland says:
If either Chicago or Cleveland is go
ing to stick in the lead in the Amer
lean league they will have to quit cut
ting each others threats and one or
the other win steadily, for the Phila-
delphia Athletics are treading uncom-
fortably close on their heels. Two vic
tories yesterday, one WaddelPs Won
derful 20 inning affair, has boosted
Connie Mack'S men to within a game
and a half of the White Sox and Maps,
or % points in the percentage column.
An even break on the two remaining
games here and the Athletics couldn' t
pass to the front even if they made a
clean sweep in Boston, but should
either Chicago or Cleveland lose the
next two, while the Quaker City men
were winning, the Athletics would slip
into second.
s'I am looking to see the Athletics
take the lead away from Chicago and
night, but they can't hold it on the
coming western trip. I thought they d
get the lead while the west was east,
but the western clubs surprised them
selves and came back home as well
off, if not better, than they went"
Cleveland and the White Sox have
met thirteen times this year. The
Maps have been winners seven times.
Otto Hess, who pitched yesterday,
probably will never be used against
Comiskey's pennant chasers again, for.
though left handed, he is still. in the
maiden class, never having won from
them. Yesterday was his third trial
this season and his third downfall. He
pitched the first game between them
and lost, to 3: On May s he lost
again, s to 3, and yesterday, to Z.
Donohue was trimmed twice and
Bernhard once. Cleveland winners
have been Donohue once, Moore twice,
los twice and Rhoades twice.
Without I.ajoie the Maps do not
look as good as they have. They are
deprived of the services of the big,
lanky Addie Joss, too. He is sick in
bed. With these two out of it the
local team is hardly at its best right
now. for Bradley does not appear ca
pable of leading the team properly
during the absence of Lajoie.
Comiskey's bunch struck a gold
mine here yesterday. They were
lucky in having the race just as it is
and being slated for this city, one of
the best in the circuit from a financial
viewpoint. There were close to $4,000
actual paid admissions to the two
games.

FEED BILLS COME HIGH.
Cost LeavenwortIl $135.5O to Care for
Their june Prisoners

Leavenworth. Kan, July THE coun-
Gil passed the regular monthly appropri-
alton ordinance in which was, an item
reading: Mrs. Mary Abbott, meals,
$135.5O." This was the price paid for
feeding city Jail prisoners during the
month of June and is much higher than
May, which was looked upon as unusual
and nearly three times as great as the
cost of feeding the prisoners in June
year ago. In fact $135.50 comes pretty
near being a record for one month.
The city pays for the feeding of the
prisoners at the rate of 121k cents. per
MEAL or 3715 cents per day so that the
cost depends entirely on the number of
the men in Jail. Last month 1904 meals
were served which means that on an av-
erage there were II men in Jail every
day.
