When Senator Deboe was elected
from Kentucky from Joe Blackburn s
district, an ovation was given him
upon his return to his little mountain
town, a barbecue for which several
fatted calves and other animals were
killed
Much impressed he made speech
of some length and eloquence. That
is, he began all right but he made a
slight miscue at the finish.
That was what he said:
Friends and Fellow Citizens. I
feel this to be the greatest occasion of
my life. | am deeply gratifed-more
deeply than | can say-by this honor
you have done me in sending me as

Pork and Beans,

The name would never with grace en-

But nothing can get more proper action
On the hungry spot meath a feller's

Can give more comfort and satisfaction

When the inner man for feed is craving
And the system is wrapped in flame

When on the air of the feeding station

when the purse is fiat from a dearth Of
When but a dime is reposing there.

And try to imagine it Belgian hare,
When a reg lar dinner, with pie and pud-

Is way up yonder beyond his means.

that he composed good deal in this

Reaained Appetite by READING.

There was once man who had lost
his appetite. He regained it by the
simple method of reading chapter
of Dickens before dinner every day.
Sometimes he would read about the
Christmas dinner Of the Crummels.
and again he would read about an
other characters enjoyment of butter
ed toast; but always the chapter
would be upon something good to eat.
The very thought of how others enjoy
ed their food would awake in this
hypochondriac a hunger that made
his dinner pleasure instead of tor.

HYENA KNEW ITS FRIEND.
Apparently Vicious Creature Had
Memory for Kindness.

A few years ago in one of the men.
aeeries exhibited during the races at
Brighton, England, was striped
hyena, which, to the keeper and all
around him, displayed the usual fero-
cious habits inherent In animals of his
kind. Among the spectators was a
young man who fearlessly approached
the den where it was snarling and
swapping furiously, and, putting his
hand through the wires, patted the
animal on it's head.
In an instant the hyena gave symp-
toms of the greatest delight, bounded
about in an ecstacy of joy and rubbed
himsel fagainst the young mans hand,
seeming to be overjoyed at his ca
resses. 1t appeared that this animal
had been taken when cub by this
young man and brought by MIN to
England and sold to the keeper of a
menagerie, and although seven years
had elapsed since then the recollec-
ton Of the gentle treatment he had
received had been gratefully remem-
bered by this apparently untamable
creature.

Burmese children are the spoilt chill.

Scott O'Connor, in his book, The Silk

In the open air with all the grace of
young, unchecked life. "The sheer Joy
OF life abides in them,' says he, land
they seem to live perpetually at play
In the village street, where they play
game of ninepins with the great
seeds OF a jungle creeper; in the
monastery, where they lie upon the
moor and scream out their lessons with
lusty delight; in the river, in which
they splash and plunge before they
can walk; at the play, where they
crawl about among the feet OF the
prlma donna and the posing kings,
and at the pagoda, where they hold
MOVERS before them with faces screw
ed up to gravity, with laughter pent up
oehlnd 1t. And if there be any dispute
about the good looks of their elders
there can be none as to the prettiness

GOOD RECIPE FOR SUCCESS.
Dealing Justly With the World Main
REQUISITE.

Smile in your mirror and it smiles
back at you; look pleasantly at the
world and it reflects your good natur-
ed looks; cultivate a warm feeling
toward all men and they radiate and
give back the warmth. Deal justly.
Trade on broad principles. Be not
too jealous of your rights. The world
-mankind-soon discovers where it
is well treated, and trades there.
Be loyal to your clerks and they
will return it in loyalty. Trade on
broad lines, buy of broad people, treat
the public generously and success is
sure to come-a success that is worth
the winning and keeping and cherish
ing. Be exacting, carping, looking out
carefully for your little rights, and as
sure as the sun shines the world will
have its eye on you, watching you In
way that you do not care to be
watched.
Keep sweet and move on.-Batten's
Wedge.

HE KNEW THE LADY.
Why Col. BiIIups' Companion Was Not
Unduly Interested.

Happening to have a few moments
to himself Col. John Billups of Ari-
iona decided to take street car ride.
and see the various beauties of the
capital, says a dispatch from Wash
iEgton.
He entered car, took a seat, and
devoted himself to looking at the
places of historical interest he passed.
Coming to an uninteresting stretch he
looked around the car and discovered
very beautiful woman sitting in a
seat with an ill-favored man. Directly
behind the woman sat another man,
looking intently out of the window.
Col. Billups was attracted by the
beautiful woman just as any Southern
gentleman is attracted by a great pic
ture or fine horse He looked at her
IN open mouthed admiration, paying
the tribute the real Southern gentle
man pays to beautiful women wher-
ever found
Suddenly, to the great amazement
of Col Billups, the lady turned and
W1nked roguishly at the man behind
her. It was full-sized, enticing wink.
The man looked out of the window
without noticing Col. Billups
watched Three times the lady turned
and winked at the stold citizen be-
hind her, and three times the man re-
fused to notice the advance.
This was too much for Col. Billups.
lie moved across to the seat where
the man was sitting. They rode for
square, and the lady turned again
and winked.

looking out the window, st is beau

on the street.

Piled the stolid one, still looking out
Of the window.

MIGHT HAVE SAVED
lW of Trouble from Too Much
Starchy Food,

A little boy OF eight years whose
parents did not feed him on the right
kind OF food, was always nervous and
suffered from weak condition of the
stomach and bowels. Finally he was
taken down with appendicitis and
after the operation the doctor, know.
irg that his intestinal digestion was
very weak, put him on Grape-Nuts
twice a day.
He rapidly recovered and about two
months thereafter, his Father states,
He has grown to be strong, muscu-
lar, and sleeps soundly, weighs SO
pounds, and his whole system is in
fine condition of health" Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
1t Is plain that if he had been put
on Grape-Nuts at an earlier period in
his life, and kept from the use OF
foods that he could not digest, he new
er would have had appendicitis. That
disease IS caused by undigested food
decaying In the stomach and bowels,
causing irritation and making for the
growth of all kinds of microbes, set
ting up a diseased condition which Is
the active cause of appendicitis, and
this is more marked with people who
do not properly digest white bread.
GrapeNuts is made of the selected
parts of wheat and barley and by the
peculiar processes of the cooking at

into sugar ready for immediate diges-
ton and the more perfect nourish-
ment of all parts of the body, particu-
iarly the brain and nerve centers.
