house in his office downstairs Messrs.
Harrison, Fraser and Walker were ap-
pointed a committee to wait on the
governor and notify him.
Rules Remain the Same.
Before going down stairs Mr. Fras-
er called attention to the fact that the
house had not yet adopted the rules
and he moved that the rules Of the
previous session be adopted with the
change, that no member Of the ways
and means committee or judiciary
committee be required to serve in any.
Fraser thought the duties Of these two
committees were such as would re-
quire the entire time of the members
except when III the house. The pro-
position was opposed by Mr.. Rucker,
who held that the present rules had
been in force for Is years and that
should any changes be desired they
should be referred to the committee
Oh rules after their appointment by
the speaker. Mr.. Nash agreed with
Mr.. Rucker and thought the work Of
several good men, who would be ap-
pointed OH the two comittees, was
needed on other committees also. Mr..
Kershaw thought Mr. Farser's mo-
ton proper one, but on division
and count it was rejected by vote
of 53 to 26. The old rules, therefore,
will be adopted unless changes are
made after the appointment of cop-
mittees.
Again a motion was made to ad-
journ, but it was voted down almost
unanimously. The delegations want
ed to know where they were going to
sit today and the drawing for seats
commenced. This took fully 45 minu-
tes and when the governors annual
message came up it was decided to
postpone it's reading until today at
noon. Finally the work was complet-
ed.
Speaker W,ha4ey will announce the
appointment of his committees in Il
day or SO. He stated yesterday that
he had given the latter but little
thought yet and would select those he
thought were best suited for the
work. There are also the appoint
ments Of the doorkcepers, the pages
and the vaYious assistants.
Study of Vote.
\ study Of the vote for speaker is
an interesting one. AS mentioned in
The State yesterday morning, the
lines were drawn to some extent. The
friends of Mr.. Whaley say that whilo
they expected Mr.. Nash to withdraw
after the first ballot, they had re-
ceived no assurances to that effect
The vote had been figured down rath-
er closely the day before by both
siles and the supporters of Mcssrs
McColl and Whaley did not change
on the second ballot. OF the 13 votes
east for Mr.. Nash, Of them went to
Mr.. Whaley on the second ballot
Messrs. Arnold, Clary, j. H. Dodd,
w. j. Gibson, Johstone, MrArthur,
Nichols, Reaves and Walker.
The four going to Mr.. McColl were: {:
Messrs. Goodwin, Harrison, Morrell
and Miller. Mr.. Fred Harman Of this
county did not vote the first time,
but on the second ballot voted for Mr..
McColl. Mr.. Nash, who Oh account
Of his candidacy, did not vote the
firct ti,no yoto1 For Mr. Who1ny on
the second ballot.
1t was commented on in the lobbies
afterwards on the vote Of Richland,
which went solid for Mr.. McColl.

sPAlN's cANNY RAILROADS.

Visitors Have to Pay for a Ticket
Merely to Go on the Platform.
In Spain the railroads do not lose q
chance to make little profit, even in
the case of the non-travelers. When
you see somebody off in that country
you must pay for the privilege.
The railroads all sell billetes de an
ten, which are good for the platform
only. These cost generally five CEN
limos, equivalent to a cent in Ameri-
can money.
Just why this is done it is hard to
see, because persons entering train
cannot very well avoid the conductor,
who Is always making trips to inspect
the carriages. If person attempted
to steal ride in a carriage ne would
have small chance Of getting away
with it. If caught he would have to
pay a penalty of just twice the fare
between the point where he was dis
covered and the point where tickets
last We're inspected.

such as white bread, potatoes, rice,
partly cooked cereals and such,
Starchy food is not digested in the
upper stomach but passes on into the
duodenum, or lower stomach and in
test1nes, where, in a healthy individ.
ual, the transformation of the starch
into form OF sugar is completed and
then the food absorbed by the blood.
But ii the powers of digestion are
weakened, a part Of the starchy food
will lie in the warmth and moisture of
the body and decay, generating gases
and irritating the mucous surfaces un-
til under such conditions the whole
lower part Of the alimentary canal, in.
Guiding the colon and the apnandix,
becomes involved. Disease sets up
and at times takes the form know as
appendicitis.
When the symptoms of the trouble
make their appearance, would it not
be good, practical, common sense, to
discontinue the starchy food which is
causing the trouble and take a food
in which the starch has been trans
formed into form o. sugar in the
process of manufacture?
This is identically the same form of
sugar found in the human body after
starch has been perfectly digested.
Now, human food is made up very
largely Of starch and Is required ny
the body for energy and warmth.
Naturally, therefore, it's use should be
continued, II possible, and for the rea-
sons given above it is made possible
in the manufacture of Grape-Nuts.
In connection with this change of
food to bring relief from physical dis
turbances, we have suggested washing
out the intestines to get rid of the i'm
mediate cause of the disturbance.
Naturally, there are cases where the
disease has lain dormant and the
abuse continued too long, until ap.
parently only the knife will avail. But
1t is well-established fact among the
best physicians who are acquainted
with the details above recited, that
preventative measures are far and
away the best.

Ing way to prevent disease by fol-
lowing natural methods and for per-
tect1ng food that contains no "medi-
cine" and produces no medicinal ef-
fects" bit which has guided literally
thousands of persons from sickness to

years past upwards of $4,000 letters
from people who have been either

CHAPTER XIV.
Hail to the Lovers!

When he had left Donald Megbie,
Sir William Gouldesbrough went back
to the room in which he had last seen
Marjorie Poole.
He found her the center OF circle
of friends and acquaintance. Lady
Poole was sitting by her daughters
side, and was in high good humor.
Gouldesbrough saw at once that

Megbie in the conservatory Lord Nal.

asked him. Everyone knew, with
more or less accuracy, Of what the
new invention consisted.
If the excitement and stir of expec-
tation had been noticeable at the be-
ginning of the evening, it was now
doubly apparent The rooms hummed
like a hive with excited talk, and it
was obvious that society considered it
had received a remarkable sensation.
Sir William knew that things were
moving in the direction that he wish
ed them when he saw Marjorie Poole
holding little court in this manner.
She was always very popular girl,
was not ordinary. 1t was plain that
both Marjorie and Lady Poole were
being courted because of their connec-
ton with Sir William Gouldesbrough.
OF course, everybody knew the past
history of the engagement. But it
now seemed almost certain that it
would be renewed. Gouldesbrough
realized all this in moment, and with
intense satisfaction The assupapt don
that he and Marjorie were once more
engaged, or on the verge of being so,
could not but contribute toward the
fact.
Yes, it was propitious hour. Ev-
erything was in his favor; this was
his grand night, and he meant that it
should be crowned by the renewal Of
the promise of the girl he loved.
AS he went up to the group he
seemed wonderfully strong and dom-
inant. Marjorie's eyes fell upon him
and frightened as they did so. Ger
tainly there was no one else like this
man!
Gouldesbrough wanted to carry
Marjorie away to the supper room at
once, but he was not to escape so
easily. He was Immediately surround
ed, and congratulations were fred at
him from every side.

DICKENS SPOKE TO HIM.

when was a young boy
Il had read some Of the stories Of
this great writer and was most anx-
ions to catch d glimpse Of tt tbs man
himself. So on the afternoon when he
was expected to arrive walked up
and down the street in front Of the
hotel where l knew he was to stay.
The hotel was built close to the
sidewalk and the long windows Of the
parlor were so low that the passer-by
could easily see into the room.
j Il soon realized that a gentleman
was sitting within reading paper. I
stepped up close under the window
and pressed my face against the glass,
eager to get a good look at the
stranger. Yes, it was he! It really

few moments he turned and saw me
