 KHARKOV, Russia, March 30.- Even more daring than the robbery of the Credit Mutual bank at Moscow re- gently was the attempt made in broad daylight to rob the Volga Komma bank by several college boys and technolog-. ical students.

 Most of the employees fled in panic, but one cool headed clerk attracted the attention of the guards outside, who immediately barred the entrances to the bank.

anecdote to the passengers Of the

"The Hon. Justin Mccarthy and |

when the following story was told by
the noted author, as post-prandial:
"'An old school chum Of mine by
the name of Michael Hooley went to
America in the early eighties to seek
his fortune. His first position was
that Of street sweeper, and then he
was called "Hooley." In about year
he became Fireman Hooley"; then
he was promoted to Policeman Hoo

Around the fireside or about the we'll
lighted family reading table during the
winter evenings the children and
grown-ups can play with their wits and
see how many words can be made.
20 people making the greatest num-
Der of words will each receive a little
box containing a $1,000 gold piece.
10 people will each win one box con
tanning $500 gold piece.
300 people will each win box con-
tanning $1.00 in paper money and one
person who makes the highest number
of words over all contestants will re-
ceive box containing $4,000 in gold.
1t Is really a most fascinating bit of
fun to take up the list evening after
evening and see how many words can
be added.
A few rules are necessary for abso-
lutte fair play.
Any word authorized by Websters
dictionary will be counted, but no name
of person. Both the singular and
plural can be used, as for instance
grape" and grapes"
The letters in "Y-I-O-G rape-Nuts"
may be repeated in the same word.
Geographical names authorized by
Webster will be counted.
Arrange the words in alphabetical
classes. all those beginning with A to-
together and those beginning with e to
come under L, etc.
When you are writing down the
words leave some spaces in the A. Il,
and other columns to fill in later as new
words come to you. for they will spring
into mind every evening.
1t Is almost certain that some con-
testants will tie with others. In such
cases prize identical in value and
character with that offered in that
class shall be awarded to each. Each
one will be requested to send with the
list Of words plainly written letter
describing the advantages of Grape
Nuts, but the contestant is not required
to purchase pkg. These letters are
not to contain poetry, or fancy -four
ishes, but simple, truthful statements
of fact. For illustrations: A person
may have experienced some incipient
or chronic ails traceable to unwise Sc
lection of food that failed to give the
body and brain the energy, health and
power desired. Seeking better condi-
tons a change in food is made and
Grape-Nuts and cream used In place of
the former diet. Suppose one quits the
meat, fried potatoes, starchy, sticky
messes of half-cooked oats or wheat
and cuts out the coffee. Try, say, for
breakfast a bit of fruit, dish of
Grape-Nuts and cream, two soft-bolled
eggs, a slice of hard toast and cup of

you have been 2 or 3 weeks on the
Grape Nuts training you write state
ment of how you used to be and how
you are now. The simple facts will in
terest others and surprise yourself.
We never publish names except on per-
mission, but we often tell the facts i'll
the newspapers and when requested
give the names by private letter.
There is plenty of time to get per-
sonal experience with Grape-Nuts and
write sensible truthful letter to be
sent in the list of words, as the contest
does not close until April Both, 1906.
So start in as soon as you like to build
ing words, and start in using Grape
Nuts. Cut this statement out ana
keep the letters Y-I-O-GrapeNuts be-
fore you and when you write your let
ter you will have some reason to write
on the subject "Why Owe Grape

Remember 331 persons will win
prizes, which will be awarded in an
exact and just manner as soon as the
list can be counted after April 10th,
1906 Every contestant will be sent

have proof that the prizes are sent as
agreed. The company is we'll known,
all over the world for absolute fidelity
to its agreements and every single one
of the 331 winners may depend on re-
ceiving the prize won.
Many persons might feel 1t useless to
contest, but when one remembers the
great number of prizes -(331)-the
curiosity of seeing how many. words
can really be made up evening after
evening and the good, natural fun and
education in the competition, 1t seems
worth the trial; there Is no cost, moth
ing to lose and a fine opportunity to
win one Of the many boxes of gold or
greenbacks.
We make the prediction that some
who win prize of gold or greenbacks.
will also win back health and strength
worth more to them than wagon full
of money prizes.
There are no preliminaries, cut out
this statement and go at it, and send
in the list and letter before April Both,
1906, to Postum Cereal Co., Ltd. Battle

address be plainly written.

WILLING TO SHARE WITH Gor
Simple Faith and Gratitude Of Little
Child,


The simple faith of little child,
whether applied to parents, friend or
to God, found an illustration in story
recently told by DR.. Levi G. Broughton
Of Atlanta, Ca, when he was In Bos-
ton. 1t was related to him by friend
in the railroad service as follows:
"My little girl came to me little
while before Christmas and said:
Papa, want you to pray to God and
ask him to have Santa Claus bring me
a dolly for Christmas I promised,
and on Christmas morning she found
her doll, and called me to see 1t. AS
she looked it over, examining the face,
the eyes, the hair and the clothes, she
said, Papa, haint God good? He's
gooder than thought he was. Do you
think he sent little brother anything"
81 told her she might go over to her
grandma's, where brother was visiting.
and find out. Presently she returned,
with her face all covered with happy
smiles, and exclaimed, %, papa! God
sent brother q beautiful great big hob
by-horse.'
breakfast came soon after and as
we sat down at the table she climbed
upon my knee, and putting her arms
around my neck she said again, 'Hain't
God good? and he was gooder to broth
err than he was to me, wasn't he?
~ replied, Eyes, he is good, and now
what are you going to do for God.

Bound to Beat.

At the junction of two highways in a
certain county in Iowa | found the
directions on the guideboard all faded
out, and, noticing a farmer at work In
his field, htched the horse and went
over to him and asked:
"Wll you kindly tell me how far it
Is to Painsvillc?"
Have you asked anyone else?"
queried the farmer. as he leaned on his
hoe
"Yes. asked a man back here about
a mile"

Eyes, think it was"
"What'd he say"
81 understood him to say that 1t was
nine miles"
well, then, it's leven."
took his word for it and went on,
but found the distance only seven
miles. Returning that way next day,
encountered the farmer moving weeds
along the highway and said:
why did you tell me yesterday that
1t was eleven miles to Painsville? You
must have known that 1t was only
seven"
Bill Scovel told you nine, didn't
he?"

TRACED TO EMPEROR TlBERIUs.
Originator Of Remark About "Forty,
Fool and Physician."

Fooi anu TUysIS'dus
1t would appear that the Emperor
Tiberius was the originator of that
we'll known saying: Every man at
forty is either fool or physician"
But Tiberius said thirty, not forty, so
Bacon informs us In his History OF
Life and Death:
"Tiberius, though a drunkard and
luxurious in his diet, was yet very
careful of his diet and used to say
that every one after thirty was either
fool or physician"
Probably Bacon's authority was
Tacitus ("Annals," book W., chapter
46), who says Of Tiberius that HE
was wont to make sport of the physi-
clans. and Of people who after thirty
needed others to tell them what was
good or bad for them" In Tacitus, of
course, the epigrammatlc flavor is
lost.
But why has popular usage altered
the age from thirty to forty? Simply
on account Of the ALTERATION, SO car
essing to tho popular ear. De Quin-
cey, who quotes the modern phrase In
his Opium Eater" dwells upon Its
alliterativo value, and conjectures
that our forefathers emphasized that
ALTERATION by spelling physician with

strange thing is that De Quincy
