Getting the Business Done.

A few years ago, before the Austria
liam ballot system was in use in cleo
ton primaries, Attorney General Will
liam H. Moody, who was then law
yer at Haverhill, created no end OF
amusement by remark that was i'm
mcdiately turned into joke and
which has chung to the cabinet mem
Der ever since.
In those days the "slate" was usual
ly made out before the caucus by the
party leaders, and in this particular
case "Bill' letters had been selected
to present the "slate" to the assembled
voters. 1t was new business for JEFF
fers, and he became a trihe nervous
when he secured the floor. He had
the list of names Of the delegates in
his hat, which he held in his hands
as he stood up to address the chair
man. But, in his nervous plight he
seemed unable to read the names, and
stiffness reigned for a few moments,
while he endeavored to gain control
of his vocal organs:
Mr.. Moody was standing In the rear
Of the room, and after some time had
been wasted by LETTERS in trying to
gain his power of speech, Mr.. Moody
addressed the chair, saying: "Mr
Chairman, l move that the list oil
names in Bill Jeffers' hat be nomi
nated," and 1t was, amid suppressed
laughter.-Boston Herald.

served in the way that the Grand Con-
tinental is famous for, snowy damask,
delicate china, and food fit for even
rich Americans. Over the table they
are merry-why not?-all of them are
young, and life looks rosy indeed,
from their standpoint.
They shape their plans for the day,
which is to be their last in the French
capital, and decide upon the hour of
starting for Havre, referring to the
time table of the railway, and finding
that the evening mail for the coast
leaves at 7:1O:
If. as they have reason to believe,
this dastardly outrage, the burning of
the lodging house, has been the work
of Senior Lopez and those tools who
stand ready to aid him, they can i'm
agine the rage of the Mexican when
he reads the morning papers, and finds
his plotting has been in vain-that
where he would have made annihila-
ton sure, he has simply created an
opportunity for the American eagle
to scream again.
They see and hear nothing Of him
during the day, but have a conscious
feeling that his spies have them I'M
der continual surveillance.
During an hour in the afternoon
that they have to themselves, Dick
and his comrade replenish their stock
of firearms. They are going now to
a country where it will be more nee
essary than ever to depend upon them
selves for protection, and both men
know full we'll the value of good wea'
pons at such time.
Thus the day wears away.
They all have an early dinner
spread by the hotel management, and
paid for by Yankee gold.
Miss Pauline seems little anxious
as though expecting something that
has not come.
At a quarter after six she calls
messenger and delivers letter.

The messenger bows and hurrie'
away. Dick happens to hear what hai
been said, and wonders what business
of importance Miss Pauline has ne
elected until the last hour; but h
wisely remains silent. 1t is none o
his affairs, he reflects. and yet, late

CHAPTER xI.-cont,nuea.


The poor fellow looks piteOusly al
Miss Pauline, then goes to the win
dow, and looks out, with his head rest
Ing disconsolately on his hands, and
his elbows on the sill. Meanwhile
Miss Pauline In low tones describes
the. recent daring exploits that have
made Colonel Bob hero and lion
in Paris, while the girl listens with
open-eyed wonder. Presently she
makes the amende honorable-Bob
feels a warm breath near his cheek,
then his name Is whispered in the
softest of tones:
Bob! oh, Bob!"
He answers not, nor turns his head
then a rounded arm slips around
his neck, and the voice of the charmer
is heard again:
Bob, dear Bob, forgive your little
Dorai"
With exceeding delicacy Dick and
Miss Pauline have turned their backs
upon the couple at the window,
though both smile broadly in the
midst of their conversation when
very positive smack is heard, imme
diately followed by a low cry of, "You
naughty Bob"
TITS made up, thank goodness"
says Pauline.
They're happy again." signs Dick,
with such a look upon his face that
the girl from New York laughs out
right.
IF the divine passion brings such
ups and downs in its train, what folly
for people to seek its favor" she re-
marks, with a twinkle in her eyes that
Dick catches.
"StiIl it is a universal failing-has
been from the time of Eve, and will
be to the end. We cannot change
our natures any more than the leopard
can his spots" he says, stoutly, and
in his look causes her to
turn rosy.

must hate you. The Mexican does

ing most things that formerly went to
make up his existence, in the race Tor
wife.
The balance of the night passes
quietly, and with the rising of tn" sun
the gentlemen are astir.
Colonel Bob examines himself in
the glass, and sees that barber may
remedy the work of the flames, so he
hastens to find one.
Dick meanwhile seeks the scene OF
the previous nights confiagration. and
in the house across the way finds his
portmanteau, together with that of his
comrade.
Thanks to the foresight OF the
colonel in locking them, no damage has
been done.
Securing vehicle, Dick has the
leather trunks carried to the Grand
Continental. Bob turns up presently,
looking something like himself. The
flames mercifully spared him-for
which he cannot be too thankful, for
Bob Harlan would feel lost without
his hair.
Pardon" says an attendant, touch
ing Dicks arm. "Mamselle is wait
ing for re gentlemen in re private
sitting.room. Zis way, please"
They obey with alacrity, as both OF
them feel the pangs of hunger. The
room is a cozy breakfast parlor, and
both Miss Pauline and Dora are there.
Dora is more of a companion than a
lady's maid, after all, and Miss West
erly treats her as she would warm
friend, which fact, it may be set down
for certain, pleases certain indi-
vidual known as the Sheriff of Sccora
County.
Miss Pauline has been reading cloud
from the columns of Paris morning
paper, the Figaro, and ravishing
Dora's ears with the praise given to
the brave American who performed
such prodigies of valor in rescuing so
many lives.
$50, the conquering hero comes"
exclaims the New York girl, as she
rises to shake hands with the blush
ing colonel, who keeps his regards
fixed upon Dora most assidiously.
They sit down, and breakfast is

Now we come to frfsky Lot, the
Labor Union" editors. You know
down In Texas a weed called
LOCO" is sometimes eaten by
steer and produces arrangement
of the brain that makes the steer
"batty" or crazy. Many of these
editors are "Locoed" from hate Of
anyone who willnot instantlyobey
the demands" Of a labor union,
anditisthe universal habit Of such
writer's togostraighti into a system
Of personal vilification, manufac-
turing any sort OF falsehood
throughwhich to vent their spleen.
We assert that the common citizen
has right to live and breatheaair
without asking permission OF the
labor trust and this has brought
down on us the hate Of these edi-
tors. When they go far enough
with their libels, is 1t harsh for US
to- get judgment against them and
have our lawyers watch for a
chance to attach money due them
from others? Cor they are usual
ly irresponsible.)

Some years ago, when the late Al

postmaster, and also stage driver from
saltwater to Orono, he was doing his
stable work one morning when In
came a young fellow called Henry.
who was we'll known for being simple,
to engage a passage down on the
stage in the morning Of the next day
for himself and a young lady he was
going to take to the circus at Ban
gor.
He hardly knew how to tell Mr..
Plummer about the young lady. After
waiting a while he said: ''Mr. Plum
mer, I want to go down with you in
the morning" "All right" said Mr.
p. ct will call for you" Henry hung
around the stable awhile. and finally
he said: well, Mr.. Plummer. there
is another young lady wants to 60

This burst of true American girl tndig-

that Grape-Nuts, the popular pre-digest-
ed food, was made of stale bread shipped
in and sweetened.
The teacher colored up and changed
the subject.

ing and stay-at-home members OF the

Now let all these choice specimens
take notice:
We will deposit one thousand or
fifty thousand dollars to be covered by
a like amount from them, or any one OF
them, and IL there was ever one ounce
of old bread or any other ingredient
different than our selected wheat and
barley with a little salt and yeast used
in the making of Grape-Nuts, we WILL
lose the money.
Our pure food factories are open at all
times to. visitors, and thousands pass
through each month, inspecting every
department and every process. Our fac-
tories are so clean that one could, Win
good relish, eat meal from the floors.
The work people, both men and wom-
en-, are Of the highest grade In the state
of Michigan, and according to the state
labor reports, are the highest paid In
the state for similar work.
Let us tell you exactly what you will
see when you inspect the manufacture or
Grape Nuts. You will find tremendous
elevators containing the choicest wheat
and barley possible to buy. These
grains are carried through long convey
ers to grinding mills, and there convert
ed into flour. Then the machines make
selection of the proper quantities OF this
-four in the proper proportion and these
PARTS are blended into general flour
which passes over to the big dough mix
ing machines, there water, salt and lit
tie yeast are added and the dough knead-
ed the proper length of time.

having been ground 1t was passed
through about one hundred hours OF
soaking in water, then placed on warm
floors and slightly sprouted, developing
the diastase in the barley, which changes
the starch in the grain into a form OF
sugar.
Now after we have passed 1t into
dough and 1t has been kneaded long
enough, 1t is moulded by machinery into
loayes about 18 inches long and 5 or s
inches in diameter. 1t is put into this
shape for convenience in second cooking.
These great loaves are sliced BY ma
chinery and the slices placed on wire
trays, these trays, in turn, placed on great
steel trucks. and rolled into the second
aryoyens, each perhaps rs or 80 feet long
There the food is subjecte1 to long low
heat and the starch which has not been
heretofore transformed is turned into a
form of sugar generally known as Post
Sugar. 1t can be seen glistening on the
granules of Grape-Nuts IL held toward
the light, and this sugar is not poured
over or put on the food as these prevari-
Gators ignorantly assert. On the con-
trary the sugar exudes from the interior
of each little granule during the process
of manufacture, and reminds one OF the
little white particles of sugar that come
out on the end of hickory log after
It has been sawed OF and allowed to
stand for length Of time.
This Post Sugar is the most digestible
food known for human use. 1t Is so per-
fectin its adaptability that mothers with
very young infants will pour a little
warm milk over two or three spoonfuls
of Grape Nuts, thus washing the sugar on
from the granules and carrying 1t with
