Horses Which Saved Alfonso.
NJ. LIE Page, a hubble tanner inhabit-
ing the little town of Serge, France,
bought the corpses of two horses killed
at Place Rohan, Paris. by the bombs
thrown at the young King of Spain. lie
Page did not want them for the purposes
of his profession, but being a patriotic
Frenchman and particularly abhorring
the Anarchists he exercised all his skill
removing the skin of the animals to pre-
serve the parts penetrated by the pro-
jectiles from the bomb. Then he made
from them two fine rugs and without
consulting anyone wrote directly to Al
fonson offering them as presents to the
memory of his fortunate escape from
death. The King wrote back explaining
that a sovereign was not permitted to
accept presents from private individuals
ordinarily, but. in view of the special cir
oumstances of the case he gladly re-
ceived them and desired to express his
warmest thanks. since it was the bodies
Of these poor animals that protected him
and NJ. Loubet from the designs of the
Anarchists.

/ < OLD FASHIONED FARE Hot Biscuits, Griddle-Cakes, Pies and
 Puddings,

The food that made the fathers strong is sometimes unfit for the children un- der the new conditions that our chang ing civilization is constantly bringing in. One of MT. Bryan's neighbors in the great state of Nebraska writes:
 ''''I" was raised in the south where hot biscuits, griddle cakes, pies and pud- dings are eaten at almost every meal, and by the time located in Nebraska l found myself sufferer from indiges- ton and it's attendant ills-distress and pains after meals, an almost constant headache, dull, heavy sleepiness by day and sleeplesSness at night, loss of flesh, impaired memory, etc., etc.
 CT was rapidly becoming incapacitat- ed for business, when a valued friend suggested a change in my diet, the abandonment of heavy, rich stuff and the use of Grape-Nuts food. I followed the good advice and shall always be thankful that did so.
 "Whatever may be the experience of others, the beneficial effects of the change were apparent in my case al- most immediately. My stomach, which had rejected other food for So long,
 
 took to Grape Nuts most kindly; in a day or two my headache was gone, I began to sleep healthfully and before a week was out the scales showed that my lost weight was coming back. My memory was restored with the renewed vigor that felt in body and mind. For three years now Grape-Nuts food has kept me in prime condition, and l pro- pose it shall for the rest of my days.
 And by the way, my two-and-a-half- year-old baby is as fond of Grape Nuts as I am, always insists on having it. It keeps her as healthy and he srty as they make them" Name given by Pos tum O., Battle Creek, Mich. Th2ra'S q reason. i.. l., r.

A. H.. VAN BUREN's SUCCESS.
New Haven Artist Playing Leading
 Roles in the West.

New Haven Artist Playing Leading
 Roles in the West.
 The continued success of A. H. Van Buren will be pleasing information to the many New Haven friends of this young actor. He is the son of William H. Van Buren, the popular manager of the New Haven theater. A recent is- sue of the Milwaukee News, the most critical paper in the city, contains the following very fiattering notice of the young mans attainments in the dra- matic line:,
 Seldom does a young actor who steps out of the ranks to the position of leading man prove his title to his new and higher position so quickly as has been done In the case of A. H. Van Buren. During the very first evening of his career as g. leading man he made an undeniable success in an h. sen role. This is taken by many to establish his standing at once. MT. Van Buren is giving capital
 performance at the Academy this week as Consul Bernick in The Pillars of | Society," While he has acquitted him. self with credit in the smaller roles he has played since coming to Mill | waukee, he has undertaken nothing so difficult as the part he plays this week. Since the reopening of the Academy in July MT. Van Buren, who was born in New Haven, Conn.,, and whose prin- ovnerin11ao ot the Castle Square theater in Boston, has played variety of parts in his capacity as juvenile man, and he has played them so we'll, and is himself so apparently a chap one would like to know, that his elevation by Manager Thauhouser to the post of leading man has met with a great deal of approval
 from the public. Those who have seen MT. Van Buren as Consul Bernick hold
 that MT. Thauhouser made no mistake in the promotion of his juvenile to the
 arduous duties of leading man. Besides a thirty-eight weeks en- gagement at the Castle Square, Mr. Van Buren has played in stock com
 panies in Philadelphia and Memphis. He has played heavy roles as well as | juveniles.
 MT. Van Buren is a cheerful, pleas | ing young man who is fond of healthy
 outdoor sports and whose head has not
 been turned by the new honors in his
 profession which have been thrust up- 1 on him, and which he is proving were ] wisely, bestowed.
 "In Dorothy Vernon of Haddon
 Hall,' MT. Van Buren is to be Sir | John Manners.
