THE COMPANY SCATTERED.

A prominent attorney Of Baltimore
told the following story to n of his
colleagues recently of the time when
he vas in the West, when the gold
fever was at its height.
zone of the largest gambling houses
in San Francisco was in full swing,
when in walked two men, one of whom
carried a large powder horn. They
ambled up to the bar, and the man
with the powder horn threw it on the
counter and said in a loud voice: I
am tired Of it all, and shall end it
here, but I may as well take my
friends along with me- He then
dumped out on the counter a quantity
of what looked to be powder. His
companion took from his pocket some
of the same stuff and threw it into
the fire. whereupon black smoke pulled
out from the stove. By that time the
gamblers looked around and were hor-
rified to see the other one seize the
horn and throw the contents into the
stove.
"The whole company, thinking there

to their feet and scattered. With a
joyous laugh the two men ran over to
the tables and scooped in all the money
in sight-a goodly p~ile-jumped on their
horses and galloped away.
ITO say that the players We're in
censed when they returned would be
putting it mildly. It turned out upon
investigation that it was only black
sand that the two desperate men threw
on the counter"
The lawyer asked why. when one of
these men threw some of the stuff in
the stove it created a Volume of
smoke The other thought he must
have had some real powder in his
pocket.
Now the second attorney is wonder
ing if the friend who told the story was
one of those who ran out of the place.
Of course, he could hot have been one
of the desperadoes. SO how did he
know baltimore Sun.

Swan Bay After Ferryboat That Car

After being fed and warmly clothed
here, five refugees from San Fran
cisco were placed on a train and sent
on to their former home in a little
town on Long Island, writes the Chi

Press.
Along with the poor little party.
which consisted of Mrs. Amelia Berg
and children and a son-in-law, was a
n~ondescript dog, looking the evers
of his name, which was Sport. But
1t was noticed that the police of Har-
rison street did not neglect the dog
in handing out good things to eat.
and a big bluecoat tenderly carried
Sport in his arms to the train.
The story of Sport is a triaing one,
but interesting, maybe. When the

LONDON LIFE IN 1906.

A remarkable occurrence toe place
last night in Fleet street about 8
o'clock. Two men having run against
each other as they were passing in op-
posite directions, a quarrel ensued and
they agreed to fight. AS soon as one OF
them had stripped and was prepared
for the combat his opponent, instead
of presenting. himself, set a ferocious
bulldog at him, which seized the poor
fellow by the breast and bit him with
as much fury as if he had been a: bull
at the stake. The mob assembled. on
the occasion was so incensed at the
man and the animal that some seized
the former by the throat, while others,
laid violent hands on the latter and
threatened TIE destruction of BOTH. 1t
was difficult to ~disengage the.deg from
the man, who suffered the greatest
agonies. The unfortunate man., hOw-
ever, was no III released than the
owner Of the dog became. alarmed and
held the animal fast between. his legs
to prevent his doing further mischief,
until it was suggested by the wounded
man hat the master of the, dog should
be taken into custody, when the. latteC

SCHOOLBOY ADVENTURES.

In "Recollections," William O'Brien,

While the master was at dinner

all the force of his shoulders were Of
no avail. The lads stood their grounds
behind the barriers, my elder brother,
Jim, being a r%ingleader in piling up
fresh obstacles. It was not until a
blacksmith, who lived a few doors off
had been brought on the scene, and
with all the force of his sledge-hamme1

DiTsoN MADE AN IMPRESSION

Understood It,.
Years ago members of my family
laughed over this incident as related
by an eyewitness, says q writer in
,the Boston Herald:
On approaching his, store. n morn
ing, Oliver Ditson, the music pub
Usher, saw a crowd gathering just
outside his door, where a very much
Intoxicated Irishman was trying in
vain to step up from the street. Mr..
Ditson, seeing the inability Of the
man to gain the sidewalk, took him
by the arm and assisted him up The
intoxicated man was ELUSIVE in his
thanks. and insisted upon knowing
to whom he was indebted for SO much
kindness.
In vain Mr.. Ditson tried: to Olsen
gage his arm, and at last he said:
We'll, / am Mr.. Ditson."

you say you were?"
A shout from the bystanders evil

very decidedly and impressiyely: 81
am Oliver Ditson."
The II was not lost upon the
Irishman, who cast an admfring eye
upon Mr.. Ditson's immaculate apparel,
and said, fr the most humble and con-
. ciliatory tone: $50 youa are, so you
are, while I am nothing but all

BUILDING FOOD
To Bring tho Babies. Around.

important as the selection Of food to
bring it around again.
"My little baby boy fifteen months
old had pneumonia. then came brain
fever, and no sooner had le got over
these than he began to cut teeth and;
being SO weak, he was frequently
thrown into commissions" says a Colo.

took him to Kansas City for a visit.
When we got there he was SO very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die.
"When I reached ray sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts and, although I
had never used the. food, we got some
and for a few days gave him just the
Juice Of Grape-Nuts and milk. He got
stronger So quickly we were oon feed
ing him the Grape-Nuts itself and in
a wonderfully short time he fattened
right up and became strong ana well.
THAT showed me something worth
knowing and, when later on my girl
came, I raised her on Grape-Nuts, and
she is a strong, healthy baby and has
