ROYISH MIND WAS WORKING.
Youngster on His First Sai! Over the
 Tagging Main."

None of us ever quite forget those days-when our years were few-of dreaming about life on the raging main, when the imagination reve.ed in pirates and plunder from state ly galleons and valorous deeds done on storm-swept decks, says a writer in the New York Times. Recollection of this period is, at any rate, suffi- ciently vivid, so that the remark of a small boy could contribute maAe- rially to the "gayety of nations, among the passengers on one of the excursion steamers running from Manhattan across the harbor to Coney Island.
 The steamer made her way across the bay, lodging tugs and ferryboats fortunately meeting no pirate craft. The passengers, escaping gladly from the city's heat, nibbled their sand wiches and enjoyed the breeze. The walters moved about the deck with their trays The boy, just from the inland town, where his life so far had been spent, sat rapt and wide eyed. If one could but know fully the mental content" from which sprang his words at last!

MORE THAN MONEY.
A Minister Talks About Grape-Nuts.

My first stomach trouble began back in 1885," writes minister in Nebr., resulting from hasty eating and eating too much. 1 found no re- lief from medicine and grew so bad that all food gave me great distress.
 Tt was that sore, gnawing, hungry feeling in my stomach that was so distressing and I became sick man. Grape-Nuts was recommended as a food that could be easily digested.
 Leaving the old diet that had given me so much trouble, I began to eat Grape-Nuts with little cream and sugar. The change effected in 24 hours was truly remarkable, and in few weeks I was back to health again.
 My work as minister calls mo away from home great deal, and re- gently drifted back to fat meat and indigestible foods, which put me again on the sick list.
 ''So I went back to Grape-Nuts and cream and in four days l was put right again. The old dull headaches are gone. stomach comfortable, head clear, and it is a delight to pursue my studies and work.
 "Grape-Nuts food is worth more than money to me, and I hope this may induce some sufferer to follow the same course have"

CuDAHY PLANT BURNS.
Big Milwaukee Packing House Is Dam
aged to the Extent Of 100000
nv Fire

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 15.-The big
packing plant of the Cudahy Brothers
Packing company, at Cudahy, Wis,
six miles south of Milwaukee, was
badly damaged by fire.
Patrick Cudahy estimates that the
loss will reach about $500, 900. The
plant carries an insurance of about
100000.
The big building in which the lard
refinery, beef house, glue works and
killing department are located is a to-
tai loss. The fire got into the main
building, but the flames We're checked
there and the structure was saved. The
fire started in the lard department..
The cause is still unknown. The flames
spread with great rapidity ana were
not discovered for some time, as the
workmen had gone to their homes. The
entire town turned out to assist in
fighting the blaze. Long before the fire.
men could get water on the flames the
fire had spread over the entire build
ing, which is about 300 by 800 feet in
dimensions and six stories high. The
Milwaukee department sent several
pieces Of apparatus.
The fire throws 500 men out OF
employment, but the building will be
rebuilt Immediately. The report that
a fireman had been killed proved err

WATER RATES REDUCED.
Sioux Falls People Will Get Water
One-Third Chesper,

Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. 19.-As the
result of a hearing before Judge Car
land, of h United States court in this
city, an order has been issued grant
ing authority to j.. H. Purdy. Of Pitts
burg, Pa, receiver of the South Dakota
Water company, which owns a water
works system in Sioux Falls. to reduce
the rates charged by The company
SO 1-3 per cent. below the rates which
the company has heretofore charged.
The reduction of the rates charged
by the company is an outgrowth of
several years litigation between the
company and the city, the
striving to prevent the completion of a
municipal waterWorks system. The
municipal system now is about ready
to be placed in operation.
1t will be remembered hat the re-
ceiver of the waterworks mpa
about September l issued an order re-
ducing the rates in the percentage
stated, but Judge Garland, who at the
time was presiding at a term of United
States court at Deadwood. set aside the
order On the ground that the receiver
was without power to reduce the rates
without application to his court, by
order of which the receiver holds his
DOsitiOn.

INCREASE ARTEStAN FLOW.
Hiehmore Man Discovers That 1t Can
Be Done by Air PRESSURE.

Highmore, S. D., Sept. 1.-THE re-
suit of experiments made with the ar
tesian well, which furnishes the peo-
pie Of this place with water for fire
protection and domestic purposes,
shows That the natural flow Of artesian
wells can be increased by the use Of
air cOmpreSSorS.
The contractor who was awarded
the contract to install a waterworks
system here has guaranteed to furnish
10000 gallons of water every twenty
four hours, and made the experiments
for the purpose of ascertaining how
much water could be secured from the
present artesian well. During a two
hours run Of the air compressor a flow
of between fifty and fifty-five gallons
per minute was secured. The result
Of the experiments demonstrates that
the well will furnish the required
amount OF water for the new water
works system.
1t is a somewhat remarkable cir
cunstance that the tests have caused
the artesian well to increase it's nat
ural flow about 25 per cent.
