THE PRIEST AND
 TINE CLUB MEN
A Little Story of Manhattan That
 ls Stranger Than Fiction.

Three young men sat drinking be- fore great roaring wood fire in the luxurious home of fashionable club just off Fifth avenue It was the dusk of an uAusually cold evening, and the wind was playing high inks with the snow in the dark and narrow street
 A uniformed attendant stole noise lessly over the thick, silken rugs to turn on the electric lights. He was re- Quested to let them remain as they were for the present. The young men were enjoying the spectacle of the snow driving through the narrow street. and 1t was pleasurable to turn from it to the fire as 1t burned ever brighter in the gathering gloom.
 Perhaps the young men were rather maudlin. At least the blond member of the group was. and 1t was not strange, for he had been drinking hard and steadily for a week. From the music room, some distance away, came the soft notes of piano. They probably accentuated the hard drink CTS mood.
 Gentlemen" he said. I'm tired of leading frivolous life I'm going to turn over new leaf It doesn't pay"
 The others laughed; but presently they were all engaged in a discussion. a la Schopenhauer. as to whether there was such thing as happiness. The str1hngly original conclusion reached was that. if there really was such thing. 1t lay in unselfishness.
 More drinks were ordered and with each additional hbation the enthusi- asm for unselflshness grew. At length the young man who had so long been vainly seeking happiness in the con- pany of the demon rum smote the table and exclaimed:
 Gentlemen, I'm going right out now to do something for somebody"
 Ills companions received the an. nouncement with acclaim. Only one thing dampened their ardor-where could they find somebody to do good to? None of them knew soul who was In need. It was annoying, even exasperating. But the blond young man came to the rescue. He had heard or Fatner -, pyiest whose parish lay in poverty-stricken neigh borhood away over near the East river. Surely the good father would know oi somebody who could be helped.
 Fine! Fine!" cried the others, and before setting out they all had another drink.
 On the stoop of the clubhouse they debated as to whether they would call hanson; but 1t was eventually de cided that they would get keener

Ways of Women.

Two men were shopping in the glove department One of them bought a pair of womens gloves, size 5%
 They're for your sister Kate" he said
 Great Scott" exclaimed the other, What did you get them so small for? Kate cant get her little finger into a glove of that size. She wears 6b."
 "I know that" returned the pur- chaser, "but she would never forgive me if l bought the right number. When buying gloves for a woman you must always, if you wish to retain her love and respect, get them two or three sizes too small. She would hold an eternal grudge against you if you let her know that you thought her hand as large as it really is. l once lost the friendship of a most excellent girl because l gave her a 61s glove, which was her right size. instead of tickling her vanity with 51b pair"
 The other man looked sheepish.
 "I bought a pair of gloves yester- day" he said. 'I think l will ex. change them before sending them away. IN. Y. Globe.

realization of what it meant to lead the unselflsh life if they breasted the storm and walked over. They did.
 Two of the young men had never be fore been in the part of the world through which they wended their way, and one was nearly frozen. As they trudged on ankle deep in snow. and among the squalid tenements and low groggeries encountered the bitter blasts sweeping up from the river. the entire party's enthusiasm for the un. selfish life slowly oozed. but fortunate ly enough remained to keep them go ing until they reached their destina- tiOn.
 Now 1t is to be feared that their ex perience at the parish house will read suspiciously like the fiction one en- counters in the magazines at Christ mas; nevertheless every incident here recorded actually happened. The room that the party of three was ushered into was as cold and bare as a cell After brief interval the priest en tered. By this time all three young men were feeling somewhat foolish Their long walk in the cold had made things appear in different light.
 But it was too late to retreat So the blond young man cleared his throat and awkwardly stammered that they had some money to spare-about $50 and they thought it barely possible that the priest might know of some worthy family that needed help. The priest looked the three young men over, and then, without saying a word, pulled bell cord A little serving girl responded.
 Ask Sister - if she will please come hefe.' said the priest.
 In few moments the sister entered. She was a sweetfaced woman and she wore the garb of her order
 Sister -," said the priest, you have been praying all this afternoon that you might receive some help for the -. have you not?"
 Evidently wondering, the sister re- piled: Yes. Father"
 Well" said the priest, the help has arrived"

UNION WOODEN MILLS.
stoddard and Nibley Investigating
Conditions for Opening Mills.

Union, Aug. 22.-Union is excited
over its prospects Of securing a mod
ern woolen mill. Messrs. Stoddard
and Nibley, both well known in
Grand Ronde valley; were In the city
Monday to look over the situation and
study the feasibility of promoting the
mill business in this city. What their
ultimate decision will be is not known
but their impression OF the induce
ments were flattering and 1t is more
than likely that the wooden mill pro-
noted by these men will be construct
ed here.
The Industry will mean much to
Union, and the city and commercial
club will make every effort to induce
the promoters to build and maintain
their mill in this city.

FOOD
FACTS


People hesitate at the statement that
the famous ioll Grape-Nuts, yields as
much uourishmont from one pound as
can be absorbed by the system from
ten pounds of meat, bread wheat or
oats. Ten pounds OF meat might con.
tain more nUuhshment than one pound
OF GrapcNuts. but not in shape that
the system will absorb as large n pro-
portion Of. rs the body can take up
from one pound OF Grape-Nuts.
This food contains the selected parts
of wheat and barley which are pre-.
pared and by natural means predi-
gcstcd, transformed into form of
sugar. ready for immediate assimila.
tOu People in all parts OF the world
testify to the value OF Grape.Nuts.
A Mo. man says: II have gained ten
pounds on Grape Nuts food. | can
truly recommend It to THU people
He had been eating mea., bread, etc,
right along. but there was no ten
pounds of added Nesh until GrapeNuts
food was used.
Que curious feature regarding true
health food Is that It's use Will reduce
the weight Of a corpulent person with
unhealthy flesh. and will add to the
weight Of thin person not properly
nourisheG. There is abundance of
evidence to prove this.
Grape.Nuts balances the body In n

The cheese made on farms averages
about 200o0.OOO pounds annually.
These statistics are interesting. and
with each farmer growing poultry and
eggs and making butter and cheese. 1t
hardly seems possible that such com.
bInations a. dairy trusts and egg and
poultry trusts could exist, but that
they do Is nevertheless a fact
Every small town In a farming dis
trict can command sufficient butter,
egg and poultry trade to support n
prosperous exclusive produce estab.
lishmcnt. The practice has generally
obtained in agricultural districts Of
stOrekoopcrs in various lines taking
farmers produce in exchange for
goods The produce thus received by
merchants Is forwarded TO the com.
mission houses In the large city. and
these houses are factors that make it
possible to maintain trusts in the pro,
duce business. II appears that II each
town had its exclusive produce estab.
lishmcnt TO buy what the farmer has
TO sell instead Of the produce going
through the local stores. that better
prices could be paid the farmers and
the business made a most profitable
one II rightly conducted.
According to the natural laws of
business industry succeeds best where
advantages are most abundant. Thus
II seems that the produce offers a
most excellent field in the majority OF
agricultural towns.
