A Babe Left in Front of
 Gilbert House
Accompanying Note Promising Month ly RemittanCes for Support of it in Good Home.

There must have been a tug at some woman's heart strings last night
 when she gave up her baby. It was found early in the night on the front
 steps of the Gilbert House, where it
 had been laid and cried twenty min utes before it was discovered. A young man and woman happened to
 be passing on bicycles when their at tention was attracted by the crying of the child and they stopped. People living across the street had heard it crying for nearly half an hour, but they thought it was in some nearby house. The child was taken into the Gilbert house and a telephone message was sent to the police station. off cers Tipton and Reiber answered and a conference was held in the parlors
 of the lodging house regarding tne dis position of the waif.
 It is a boy a month or two old and seems healthy and strong, as if it had been well nOurished. It was clean and ! it's clothing, comfortable but plain had evidently been put on for this peculiar debut into the world. There was found beside the child a bundle of 1 gown and several cloths which seem to have ben made out of flour sacks,
 but they were clean.
 When the baby's hood was taken off there was found tucked in a fold at ] Che top a note written on a leaf of d memorandum beck. in a masculine hand, as follows: Please take this l baby either to the Orphans home or the convent and there will be clothes and money sent to him eacn month. want him to have the best of care and i l will pay whoever takes him well. So | give him the best of care. Will want to
 see him in a good hime.
 "BOB." | IL is by no means sure that the note was written by a man. The chirog- raphy is too masculine and is evident | ly disguised.
 The baby was found about half past seven o'clock and it had been dark 1 long before that A great many people | pass along the street in the early eve- ming but inquiry last night could bring ! out no one who had seen any one | stop in front of the lodging house or i any one carrying a bundle.
 In the conference which was held in the parlor of the Gilbert house it was resolved to give the baby a name. It

ALIKE AND UNLIKE.

The literary work of a wealthy anna teur was being laUded in a Philadelphia club. John Luther Long laughed and said: "I always compare our friend's s productions with Tolstois. This com parison edifies and Eliminates, for both the resemblances and differences be- tween the two men are marked and striking"
 A friend of the rich amateurs smiled eagerly:
 What are these resemblances and differences, MT. Long?" he asked.
 Both men," the novelist answered offer their works to publishers free, but TOlstofs are accepted. .''-Washing- ton Post.

NO JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER rI.

The fact that there is no John D. Rockefeller III. is, in the eyes of Grandfather Rockefeller, a serious thing, and should the second child of MT. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., prove a boy he will be doubly well come. As matters stand now the death of the two Rockefellers would put the worlds greatest fortune in the posses sion of the grandchild and of Mrs. Mo Cormick, the sole daughter of John D. Rockefeller, ST. Mrs. Rockefeller, Jr., who was Abbie G. Aldrich, daughter of the United States senator from Rhode Island, is the mother of one child, daughter, born November Sth, 1903.

was suggested that it's first name should be Gilbert and that the ab- breviation signed to the note should be heightened to Roberts. The guests. landlady and policemen gathered there unanimously voted for "Giibert Rob erts."
 pr. Mary E. Neff, a guest of the house, took the baby to the Crittenton home, where no doubt it will be the center of interest at the annual re- ception which will be held at the in- stitution this afternoon.

REAL ocTUPUs HUNTER.

Conger eeIs hunt for the octopus and when found, proceed to browse on it's limbs. The octopus tries to hug the slippery, sliny conger tight, but in vain, and, finding its limbs growing less, discharges it's ink in the face of the foe and, under cover of the turbid water beats a nasty retreat. It is to es- cape the too pressing attention of it's foes that the octopus possesses the power of changing it's color to cores pond with that of it's surroundings.

HOW MANY OF US?
Fail to Select Food Nature Demands
to Ward Off Ailments.

A Ky. lady, speaking about food,
says: Il was accustomed to eating
all kinds OF ordinary food until, for
come reason, indigestion and nervous
orostration set in.
After | had run down seriously my
attention was called to the necessity
Of some change in my diet, and l dis
continued my ordinary breakfast and
began using Grape-Nuts with a good
quantity of rich cream.
IN a few days my condition
changed in a remarkable way, and
began to have a strength that l had
never been possessed of before, a
vigor of body and a poise of mind
hat amazed me. 1t was entirely new
in my experience.
MY former attacks of indigestion
had been accompanied by heat flashes,
and many times my condition was dis
tressing, with blind spells of dizziness,
rush of blood to the head and neural
gic pains in the chest.
Since using Grape-Nuts alone for
breakfast have been free from these
troubles, except at times when | have
INDUCED in rich, greasy foods in
quantity, then l would be warned by
pain under the left shoulder blade,
| and unless / needed the warning the
old trouble would come back, but
when l finally got to know where
these troubles originated l returned
10 my Grape-Nuts and cream and the
pain and disturbance left very quickly
81 am now in prime health as a re
suit of my use of Grape-Nuts." Name

Lincoln as . LAWYER.

A leader of the Lincoln party told
the other day in Philadelphia story
OF the astuteness of Lincoln as a
lawyer
When Lincoln was practising law"
he said, he had a case involving a
disputed will The opposition claimed
the will was genuine and for several
hours adduced proof of this. For
Lincoln, who had to prove the will a
forgery, things looked black.
Lincoln, however, only called one
witness, a retired paper manufactur.
er, renowned the country over for
his wealth and probity.
Mr.. Dash Lincoln said to this
witness, handing him the disputed
will, please hold that paper UP to
the light and tell us what is the water
mark on it.
The water mark of my own firm,
Blank & Co.. the witness answered.
When did your firm begin to
manufacture paper?'
In 1S41.'
And what's the date of the docu.
ment in your Aands?'
August IL, 1886
THAT is enough. Gentlemen of
the jury our case is closed"

The Aos o. Lead.

We are wont to speak of this era
as the "age of iron" and there is no
gainsaying that, industrially speaking,
iron is precious metal"
Nevertheless, few people realize
how useful, II not absolutely neces-
sary, to modern civilization, is that
other metal. lead. Soft, yielding,
pliable, 1t is not much like it's sister
metal, but those distinguishing quail
ties are what give it such prominent
place in the arts and industries.
Modern plumbing, requiring many
turninss and twistings, but withal
sible without lead pipe. The great
est civillzing agent in the world-the
printing arts absolutely dependent
on lead Hand-set type, linotype
'slugs," monotype type all are
made Of compositions Of which lead
is the chief component-to say moth
ing of the bearings in the presses as
well as all other kinds of machinery
in which "babbitt" metal is used.
Solder is another lead product
what field of usefulness that one
form opens up.
Then there is the most important
use of all to which lead is put-paint,
that necessary material which keeps
our houses looking pretty - inside
and out-and preserves them from
decay.
How many of us thank metallic lead
for the comforts of paint? Yet the
best house paint is nothing but me-
tallic lead corroded by acid to white
powder known as white lead" OF
course, there are many limitations of
white lead" some of which are sold
as white lead and some which are
offered by the name Of ready-pre-
pared paint under the familiar pre-
tense that they are lust as good" as
white lead. But all good paint is
made of the metal, lead, corroded and
ground to fine white powder and
mixed with linseed OIL
White lead is also used in the coat
ing of fine oil cloths and for many
purposes besides paint.
RED lead" is another product of
metallic lead and is what is known as
an oxide of lead, being produced by
burning the metal. Red lead is the
best paint known to preserve iron,
steel or tin, and is used largely in
painting metal structures, such as
skyscraper skeletons, mills and
bridges.
There are many other products of
the metal lead, such as litharge,
orange mineral, etc, which are es-
sential to many of the arts in which
we never imagine that lead would be
| of the least use.
Verify, we live in an age of lead
as we'll as of iron.

CHICKS GREW FUR ovERcoATs.
Cold Storage Fowls Amply Provided
For by Nature.

Morristown, n. J.-When Alonzo
Murphy Of Newton set his favorite
PlymouthRock hen he placed under her
by inadvertence lot of cold-storage
eggs. The old hen in due time came
off with a brood of seventeen lively
little chicks. The chickens grew rap
idly, but no feathers replaced the
down on theip bodies, and a close ex.
animation showed that they were GOV.
cred with fur.
1t is Mr.. Murphy's theory that
through the wise and beautiful pro-
vision of nature that adapts all ami
mails to their environment the fur re.
placed the feathers while the eggs
were in cold storage.
The fur is thick and glossy and of
various colors. Naturally the absence
of feathers prevents these remarkable
young fowls from flying, which Mr..
Murphy considers distinct advan.
tage.
