THE LITTLE WIDOW.
A Miehty Good Sort of Neishbor to
Have.

"A little widow, neighbor of mine.
persuaded me to try Grape-Nuts when
my stomach was so weak that it
would lot retain food of any other
kind writes grateful woman, from
San Bernardino Co., Cal.
Il had been ill and confined to my
bed with fever and nervous prostra-
tion for three long months after the
birth of my second boy. We were in
despair until the little widows advice
brought relief
Il liked Grape-Nuts food from the
beginning, and in an incredibly short
time it gave me such strength that
was able to leave my bed and enjoy
my three good meals a day. In two
months my weight increased from 95
to 113 pounds, my nerves had steadied
down and | felt ready for anything.
My neighbors were amazed to see me
gain SO rapidly and still more SO
when they heard that Grape-Nuts
alone had brought the change.
MY 4-year-old boy had eczema,
very bad, last spring and lost his ap-
petite entirely, which made him cross
and peevish. l put him on a diet of
Grape-Nuts, which he relished at once.
He improved from the beginning, the
eczema disappeared and now he is
fat and rosy, with a delightfully."- soft,
clear skin. The Grape-Nuts diet did
1t. l will willingly answer all in

JUSTICE HARLAN.
No Truth in Report that He Will Re-
sign.

Another report to the effect that Mr.. JUS
tice Harlan of the Supreme Court Of the
United States will resign today renewed
gossip on that subject. Some of the
friends Of Mr.. Justice Harlan, who are
very close to him indeed, are fully pur-
suaded that these reports are without
foundation In anything that has come from
Mr.. Harlan himself
For some months past Mr.. Harlan has
every now and then been confronted by
the report that he would resign. Recently
he said in a very emphatic manner, in dis
cussing this matter with one Of his very
close friends. that he had no intention Of
retiring until he should be incapacitated
for service. Those who are very close to
him are very confident that he will not
change his purpose and that he has con-
siderable time to serve on the bench
Justice Harlan has received many inn
pOrtunities from friends in Kentucky to
permit the use of his name as the repub-
lican candidate for governor in that state
in 1905 So far he has refused to make
any statement, but his friends say he
probably will make an announcement Of
his position before long. It is known that
he has not entirely discouraged them, but
1t is understood that, as almost two years
must elapse before a decision in the mat
ter will become necessary, he is not dis
posed to give either positive promise or
make a positive refusal at the present
time.

SHEA NOT PEACEFUL
YOUNG SAYS HE ENCOURAGED
THE STRIKE.

CHICAGO, December 4.-Extended argu-
trial occupied the greater part Of the hear
ing today. Albert Young was again on the
stand and his cross-examination was con-
tinued, the attorneys for the defense max
ing every effort to impeach the testimony
given by Young on direct examination
They were able to change his evidence in
no important particular, but were ugaged
in constant argument with the states at
torney regarding proper and improper
methods of cross-examination.
The defense produced stenographic re-
ports of several of the meetings of labor
leaders concerning which Young had testi-
fled, and sought to show that Young had
not testified truthfully regarding them. The
statement was made by the attorneys for
the defense during the cross-examinatien
that President Shea of the Transfers
Union had used every effort to avoid a
strike of the teamsterS and that Young had
been in favor of it.
Attorney Cruice, for the Defense asked
the witness:
is it not true, Mr.. Young. that Shea
was not in favor of the striker
mo, 1t is not
''Is it not true that Shea did all in his
power to bring about peaceful settlement
Of the striker"

The witness was then asked if he did
not say to a representative of Montgomery,
Ward e CO. that he (Youngo had come I'D
to Chicago from his farm near Joliet to take
part in the strike The witness denied that
any such conversation took place.

The paramoecium is a very active. slipper

For if only $50 generations Of paramoecia
could be preserved they would be in bulk
bigger than this whole planet. and as they
went on multiplying the surface OF the
