recognition py IoIc9es OF Importance
OF American story.
A little more than thirty years ago
a boy could enter Harvard college and
after four years graduate with the
highest honors without knowing of
the existence of the declaration OF in
dependence or when the constitution
of the United States was framed, says
Henry Cabot Lodge in the Reader
Magazine. What was true OF Har-
ward was true of other universities
and colleges. American history was
not included in the scheme of the
higher education. Boys entering col
lege were required to know something
of the history Of Greece and Rome,
but not of their own country. During
the four years OF the college course
they had opportunity to study the his.
tory of England and Europe, but never
to learn aught OF the United States.
This condition of education was mere.
ly an indication of an attitude OF mind
then passing away. but which had once
been predominant. The usual opinion
seems to have been during the first
half of the nineteenth century that
there was no American history worth
telling apart from the adventures OF
the revolution, which were both con.

Europe that they might be deemed OIL

FRAUD ON LIFE COMPANIES.
Scheme Worked Successfully by Girl
Who Counterfeited Death.


Who counterfeited Death.
A fraud scheme at the expense OF
life insurance companies was carried
out three times successfully as long
ago as 1880. A young woman with an
extraordinary power of Stimulating
death had fer a confederate an elder
ly man. who passed for her uncle.
Twice in different parts of England
she insured her life in her uncles IA
vor, went into commissions and TO all
appearances died. The third time the
game was played with an ingenious
variation. The uncle went to a life
insurance company, explained that he
was in financial straits and wished to
borrow money on his niece's estate.
To compensate for such loan he
would have to insure her life for its
value, but could not afford to have
this insurance become known, as Il
would expose his financial condition
and ruin his credit The company
therefore, agreed to write the insur
ance under a bond of secrecy. AS
usual, the young woman went into
commissions and died. Before hel
funeral she lay in state for all the
world to see Her uncle was pros
trated.
He did not try to collect the insur
ance for some months and when h
did the company paid him in full wit
expressions of real sympathy. so al

silenced by the same ruse, and b

Forwarding a photo of splendidly
handsome and healthy young boy, a
happy mother writes from an Ohio
town:
THE enclosed picture shows my 4
year-old Grape-Nuts boy,
Since he was years old he has
eaten nothing but Grape-Nuts. He
demands and gets this food three
times day. This may seem rather
unusual, but he does not care for any
thing else after he has eaten his
Grape Nuts, which he uses with milk
or cream, and then he is through with
his meal Even on Thanksgiving day
he refused turkey and all the good
things that make up that great din
ner and ate his dish of Grape-Nuts
and cream with the best results and
none OF the evils that the other fool
