Quay and His Letters.

The late Senator NJ. s. Quay OF Penn
aylvania kept all the letters his constit-
uents wrote to him asking for favors.
He had stacks OF them when his last
fight for the senate came along. Then
he sorted out the letters. eliminating
those from people who were dead, and
on the back OF each letter wrote:
Dear John or Bill-Do you remember
when you wrote me this letter and do you
remember that I did what was asked? /
want your help now In my fight for the
senate Can have L.?
The politicians In Pennsylvania say
those letters, mailed to the original
senders with Quay's request on the
backs Of them. had as much as any one
thing to do with Quay's winning his

Definition Of a Box Car.

Not all the instruction given to young

spring and summer months 1t can be
found In nearly every part of the coun-

the autumn, however, like certain 9TH

flies to other climes. Scattered in

are captured during the autumn

the best weapon. In any case the
hunter must be very wary, as any
noise like the futtering of a waybill
will make the quarry disappear. Some

Salt For Hous.

worms out-keeps the stomach from
souring. To hogs that have never had
salt give only little at time, for
otherwise they will take too much at

DON'T NEED BREAD

Il have been employed for several
years in preparing a series of historical
papers on the Civil War. The necessary
research has been laborious and ex-
hausting. involving the examination Of
more than 10000 pages Of the official
records.
The more than ordinary interest 7
took in the work Cfor I bore a part in
the confiicD caused fncessant worry and
proved too great a strain. Overwork
brought on brain fatigue; constant
worry did the rest.
Insomnia followed. then loss of ap-
petite followed by absolute inability to
control my mind. Labor was without
accomplishment. Remedy after remedy
was vainly employed, but the work be-
gun could not be dropped And vet
it seemed as If l was going 10 pieces.
AT last I tried Grape Nuts food. and
less than a week brought benefit; con-
tinued use resulted in steady improve
