CRANK IN OYSTER BAY
WOMAN CREATES SCENE TRYING
TO SEE PRESIDENT.
INSISTS ON BEING HEARD
Declares White House Wedding Was
to Have Been Double Affair in
Which She Was to Marry
Army Officer.

Oyster Bay, n. Y.-Miss Ash L.
Esac, who is summering in Oyster
Bay tor the purpose of interviewing
the president or Mrs. Roosevelt on
what she declares is a matter of life
and DEATH created scene during
the service in Christ's Episcopal
church Sunday.
Miss Esac, or Miss Case, as her
name is supposed to be. has attended
every church service the president
has since his arrival here in July.
She has Climbed Sycamore Hill on
foot several times, only to be turned
away by the secret service men.
She presented herself early Sunday
at the church and took a seat directly
behind the pew usually occupied by
the Roosevelt family.
When Usher James Duffy requested
her to relinquish this seat she re
fused. Duffy iorcibly removed her to
the rear of the church, and Mis- Esac
says he tore her gown in so doing.
For this act she later applied for a
warrant for Duffy, but was refused.
In the rear of the church Miss Esac
refused to sit down. A secret service
agent stood beside her and during the
service she made no less than a doz-
en- attempts TO get past him. AS the
president was leaving the church
three secret service men surrounded
Miss Esac, but she shouted:
Mr. President! Mr. President.
President Roosevelt, Won't you speak
10 me "a moment?'
The president turned his head as
he passed. but did not pause. Miss
Esac says her watch chain was bro
ken in this scrimmage with the secret
service men and her watch fell to the
floor.
The president was accompanied by
Mrs. Roosevelt and Quentin and Rep
resentative and Mrs. Longworth.
Miss Esac has stated to acquaint.
ances she has made while here that
she was TO have been married in the
White House at the time Miss Alice
Roosevelt became Mrs. Longworth;
that she was TO have married high
government official, and that it was
this wrong she seeks to redress.

PECULIAR MEANS OF DEFENSE
snaaia Dssgers OF Light Sent Out by
the Centipede.

Among the peculiar powers OF ami
mails there are none harder to explain
than the power of being self-luminous.
Ii Is sometimes termed phosphores-
cence, but il is not now supposed to
depend upon phosphorus in the AMI
NAL. A correspondent of Nature de-
scribes her experience with lumi-
nous oentipede which shows the evil
dent purpose of the luminous sub
stance as means of defense Atten-
ton was first attracted by light OF
brilliant blush green that moved for
ward over the gravel, leaving behind
trail OF light, which, gradually sep
arating, became a scattered mass OF
brilliant points. The scattered points
proved to be red ants, which were pur-
suing the centipede. it had discharged
this luminous liquid over them. The
centipede was picked up and put in
a tumbler where it flashed out a
mass OF light When the hand was
placed over the tumbler to prevent
the escape of the captive, a strange
prickiy sensation was felt as from n
slight charge of electricity. The CEN
tipede would writhe the light out of its
body in blue-green flashes until IL had
exhausted its luminosity and ceased
to shine. Defense seems certainly to
be one OF the uses of this secretion

A WINNING START.
A Perfectly Digested Breakfast Makes
Nerve Force for the Day.

Everything goes wrong If the break
fast lies in your stomach like a mud
pie. What you eat does harm If you
can't digest tit turns TO poison.
A bright lady teacher found this TO
be true, even of an ordinary light
breakfast of eggs and toast. She
says:
Two years ago | contracted a very
annoying form of Indigestion. MY
stomach was in such condition that
a simple breakfast of fruit, toast and
egg gave me great distress.

could come from such a simple diet
but finally had to give 1t up, and
found great change upon a cup of
hot Postum and Grape-Nuts with
cream, for my morning meal. For
more than a year have held to this
course and have not suffered except
when injudiciously varying my diet.
II have been a teacher for several
years and find that my easily digested
breakfast means a saving of nervous
force for the entire day. My gain OF
ten pounds in weight also causes me
to want to testify to the value of
Grape-Nuts.
