A BOYS BREAKFAST

Its Own Way.
There's a boy up in Hoosick Falls,
N. Y. who is growing into sturdy
manhood on Grape-Nuts breakfasts.
1t might have been different with him,
as his mother explains:
MY 11-year-oid boy is large, well
developed and active, and has been
made so by his fondness for Grape
Nuts food At i've years he was q
very nervous child and was subject
to frequent attacks of Indigestion
which used to rob him OF his strength
and were very troublesome to deal
with. He never seemed to care for
anything for his breakfast until /
tried Grape-Nuts, and have never
had to change from that He makes
his entire breakfast OF Grape-Nuts
food. It is always relished by him
and he says that it satisfies him bet
ter than the ordinary kind of a meal.
Better than ali he is no longer
troubled with indigestion or nervous
ness, and has got to be q splendidly
developed fellow since he began to
use Grape-Nuts food" Name given by
Postum Co, Battle Greek, Mich.

QUEEN WITH Few IgwgLs.
Queen of Norway Has Very Few Jew

0GSSu OF norway has very FCW Jew
els Of Any Kind.
The new Queen of Norway is not
very well equipped with iewels-that
is, for a queen. AS the youngest of
three sisters, her share of pretty
hfngs was naturally smaller than
hose of the other two. The most i'm,
posing ornament of which she can
boast is a diamond necklace left her
by her godmother, the old Duchess OF
Inverness. A condition attached to
the legacy was that on no account
should il pass into her possession until
her wedding day. 1t is said that when
at last she was permitted to clasp il
about her neck she said coquettishly
to her husband that he must not take
too much credit to himself as hel
bridegroom, for she felt she must
make some sacrifice" to gain posses
sion of her godmother's legacy.

board of prison inspectors of Missouri
consisting of Attorney General Had
ley, Auditor Wilder and Treasurer

was Is cents per gallon.
The board of prison inspectors con-
slider the bid of the independent com
panies preferable, even if they do

Real octonus Hunter.

Conger cells hunt for the octopus

on its limbs The octopus tries to
hug the slippery, Shiny conger tight,
but in vain, and finding it's limbs
growing less, discharges it's ink in
the face of the foe and under cover of
the turbid water beats hasty retreat.
1t is to escape the too pressing at
tention of its foes that the octopus
possesses the power of changing its

OUGHT to Be Careful.

Governor Edwin Wardeld. Of Mary
land, laughs at the thirteen supersti-
ton though. according to the common
view, he ought to regard it with re-
spect. He is the thirteenth governor
of Maryland to occupy the executive
mansion at Annapolis. He was elect
ed by a majority of $4,000 votes, has
thirteen letters in his name and was
inaugurated January Is. 1904. So far
nothing has occurred in his political
career to warrant any fear for the
thirteen superstition.

Lieutenant Colonel Gordon Carter,
FiEst British Life Guards, who retires
under the age limit, is one of the most
remarkable examples of rising from
the ranks. The son of a farmer, he
entered as trooper in the life guards
in 1878, and after serving eight years
in the ranks was appointed riding
master. A year later he became adj
julant of the regiment and passed
from rank to rank till in 1902 he was
appointed lieutenant colonel and Sec
ond in command. 1t rarely happens
that a ranker receives commission
in the regiment in which he has
served, and Colonel Gordon Carter was
the hrst, if not the only. trooper who
ever rose to TIE command of a regi-
ment OF household cavalry.

 The company which has purchased the Rainy Hollow properties and which Mir. Lee repro sents here, as well as in their various enterprises in other DOT tions of the world, is composed of a half-dozen men who rank at the very top of English life, socially as well as financially. The president of the company is well known member of the English nobility. They own the famous Corona mine as well as many other properties in Spain. They own the great copper producing properties Of Costa Rica, and are the leading pro ducers of copper and other ores in Mexico. In addition to being the largest copper producers Of Europe they own and operate iron, coal! molbdenum and otber mines. The company has sub scribed and paid in $5,OOO,OOO capital for the Rainy Hollow deal. It IS CaPi- talized for Sl5,OjO,OOO. every cent of
