AN |NFUR|ATED NEGRO
USES A RAZOR
And Slashes a r1arietta
Young Man on the
Cheek.

During Christmas day, when some of
the young men of the town were hav-
ing their Christmas fun, negro name
ed Green Gresham, Jr., took offense at
the hilarity and cut young 4 Brumby
with a razor on the side of the face,
a cash about three inches long. He
also cut Mr.. Wilbur Gilbert's overcoat
aud undercoat on the arm; also :cut
the coat of Mr.. Joe Sessions in several
places, and cut Mr.. Bayard Mcintosh
slightly across the hand The negro
was then knocked down by the young
men and received several gashes on the
head. The negro was arrested by the
marshals and turned over 90 the sheriff
He waived trial before Judge Gober
and was placed under Il bond of $500,
which his father gave and he was re-
leased. Young Brumby is the son of
Mr. I. NJ Brumby and the wound is
only flesh one and not serious.
1t was not the fault of the negro that
he didn't kill young Brumby-he done
his best, and the desperate stroke he
made broke the handle of the razor. As
court meets on next Monday, he will
be tried for his crime.

a few rules are necessary for abso-
lutte fair play.
Any word authorized by Webster's
dictionary will be counted. but no
name of person. Both tlie singular
and plural can be used, as sr instance
grape and grapes
The letters in "Y-I-O- Grape Nuts
may be repeated in the same word.
Geographical names authorized by
Webster will be counted.
Arrange the words in alphabetical
classes, ali those beginning With y to-
gether and those beginning with T. to
come under r. etc.
When You are writing down the
words leave some spaces. in tho A. E.
AL, Al tr, ;,, 1nto &c
new words come to you. for they will
spring INFO mind every evening.
1t is almost certain that some con-
testants will tie With others. In such
eases a 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 re-
oui1ed to purchase pkg. These let
ters are not to contain poetry, or fan
cy fiourishes. but simple. truthful
statements of fact. For illustration:
A person may have experienced some
incipient or chronic ails traceable to
unwise selection Of food that failed to
give the body and brain the energy,
health and power desired. Seeking bet
ter conditions change in food is made
and GrapeNuts 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 bit of fruit, a dish
of Grape-Nuts and cream, two soft
boiled eggs. slice of hard toast and
a cup Of Postum Food Coffee. Some
amateur says: "a man would faint
away On that" but, my dear friend,

mon sense and start in now. Then
after you have been 2 or 3 weeks on
the Grape Nuts training you write a

how You are now. The simple facts
will interest others and surprise your
self We never publish names except
on permission, but we often tell the

Many persons might feel 1t useless
to contest. but when one remembers
the great number Of prizes-(33D-the
curiosity of seeing how many words
can really be made up evening after

When irving Was Turned Down.

IRON ftarper'S Weekly.
Bran Stoker, who for many years was
connected with the management of the late
Sir Henry Irving, tells of an amusing
incident which occurred during the play
er's tour of the middle west.
1t appears that Irving. i'll order to break
a long jump from Chicago to another
city. was DESTROYS of securing for one
night the theater of town in Indiana.
Accordingly, Stokcr wired the indi-
vidual who was both proprietor and man
ager of the playhouse in question: request
ing that Sir lIery be given nights
gagement.
In short while Mr.. Stockcr received the
following: Does Irving parade?" When
much amused. He directed Stoker to reply
that Irving was a tragedian, not a min-
strel."
The further reply came. Don't wan
Irving unless he parades.'

II is autumn. A sister is standing
In her cell in the convent near a win
dow that overlooks the sea. A letter
Is in her trembling hands, and panied
expression on her tear-stained face.
She reads the letter again and again,
then puts it in the pocket of her sable
gown and gazes sadly at the sun that
is slowly dying in the west with a
golden sea of glory around it.
The letter is from her lover OF for
mer days, when their two hearts were
bound in one. 1t is an appeal of elo-
quence to her--to forsake the con-
vent and to marry him. He is sorry
for what he has done, and only awaits
the golden chance to throw himself at
her feet-there to pour out the oceans
of his repentance. He is waiting for
her in his carriage outside the monas-
terys walls. He will wait for her till
the sun has vanished, and if she fails
to come then he will know she will not
fOrSake the convent for him.
A nightingale is thrilling his lay in
the woods; the sister hears it and looks
once more at the sun that is slowly
disappearing in the west She looks
at the letter again; then opens her
trunk and begins to pack 1t hastily.
There is a sort of determination in her
movements. Suddenly she pauses in
her work and listens, for the nightin-
gale is singing as bird never sang be-
fore. She looks out of the window and
observes a few pearly clouds collect i'm
to n body and remain motionless. The
wavelets of the sea cease their dane
ing. Not Il sound is heard save the
singing of the bird beyond. Even the
winds are silent.
Surely" thinks the sister, "all ma
ture is listening to those heavenly
notes." A ray of the setting sun shoots
into the cell; it falls on a s,rall crucifix
