A MYSTERIOUS CARD.
Mnrls Twain'n odd Request ana How
Mrs. Cleveland Received It,

Mrs. Cleveland Received It,
When | was leaving Hartford for
Washington upon one occasion my
wife said: 81 have written n small
warming and put it in a pocket of your
dress vest. When you are dressing to
80 to the authors reception mt the
White House you will naturally put
your fingers In your vest pocket, nc
cordinS to Your custom, and YOU will
find that little note there. Read il
carefully and do rs 1t tells you. l
cannot he With you, and so delegate
my sentry duties 10 this little note If
l should give YOU the warning by
word of mouth now it would pass from
your head and be forgotten in n few
minutes"
1t was President Clevcland's first
term. | had never seen his wife, the
young, the beautiful, the good hearted,
the sympathetic, the fascinating.
Sure enough, just as ! had finished
dressing TO 20 10 the White House, |
found that little note. which had
long ago forgotten. 1t was n grave
little note, serious little note, like
It's writer, but it made me laugh.
livy's gentle gravities often produced
that effect upon me where the expert
lllmorists best joke would have fail
ed, for do not laugh easily.
When we reached the White House
and was shaking hands with the
president he started to say something,
but interrupted him and said:
IF your cXccllcncy will excuse ne
| will come back in Il moment, but ROW
| have very important matter TO Mt.
tend to. and it must be attended to at
once"
| turned to Mrs. Cleveland, the
young, the beautiful, the fascinating,
and gave her my card, on the back of
which | had written lie didn't" and
| asked her to sign her name below
those words.
She said: He didn't? He didn't
whatT'
oh" said. "nevcr mind! We
cannot stop to discuss that now. THIS
Is urgent. Won't you please sign your
nameT handed her n fountain pen.
Why" she said, 81 cannot commit
myself in that way. Who is it that
didn't? And what is it that he didn't?"
"Oh," said, time is flying. flying,
flying! Won't you take me out of my
distress and sign your name to i,?
It's all right. give you my word it's
all right
She looked nonplused, but hcsitat-
inely and mechanically she took the
pen and said:
Il will sign it. will take the risk.
But you must toll me all about 1t right
aitcrward. so TINT you can be arrested
before you get out OF the house in case
there shonid lie anything criminal
about this"
Then she signed, and handed her
Mrs. Clemens note, which was very
brief, very simple and to the point. 1t
said, Don't wear your arc,ics in the
White House" 1t made her shout, and
at my request she summoned n mes
senSer, and we sent that card Mt once
to the mail on its way to Mrs. Clemens

AFFLICTED ONLY AT TIMES.
Good Reason for Capt. Bascomb's In.
termittent Hearing.

When Capt. Bascomb had left his
old friend, Capt. Somers, and the new
school teacher sitting on the south
porch, and had disappeared down the
road, the young woman spoke of him
with some curiosity.
Il understand from Mrs. Bascomb
that her husband was very deaf, al
most stone-deaf,' she told me, I'm
sure" said the school teacher. But
he seemed to hear all we said with
perfect ease"
Capt. Somers leaned toward her
and spoke in a low, cautious tone, al
though there was no eavesdropper to
hear him.
Don't let Mis- Bascomb know it,
he said, h%urriedly. He does seem
to hear pretty well when she amt
round, but none of us folks ever let
on to her. She's a good woman as
ever lived, but a most tremendous
bosser and an 'everlastin' talker. An
we all think that Gersh Bascomb be-
gun to realize ten years ago that if
he didn't want to be harried right off'n
the face O. the earth, the thing for
him to do was to grow def, gradual,
but steady-an' he's done it, to all
intents an purposes, 'ma'am!"-

A Body Balance

People hesitate at the statement that
the famous food, Grape-Nuts, yields as
much nourishment 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 nourishment than one pound
of Grape-Nuts, but not in shape that
the system will absorb as large a pro.
portion of, as 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-
gested, transformed into a form of
sugar, ready for immediate assimila-
ton. People in all parts of the world
testify to the value of Grape-Nuts.
A Mo. man says: Il have gained ten
pounds on GrapeNuts food. 1 can
truly recommend it to thin people"
He had been eating meat, bread, ETC.,
right along, but there was no ten
pounds of added flesh until Grape-Nuts
food was used.
One curious feature regarding true
health food is that its use will reduce
the weight of a corpulent person with
unhealthy flesh, and will add to the
weight of a thin person not properly
nourished. There is abundance of
evidence to prove this.
Grape-Nuts balances the body in a
condition of true health. Scientific Sc
lection of food elements makes Grape
Nuts good and valuable. It's delicious
flavor and powerful nourishing prop
critics have made friends that in
turn have made Grape-Nuts famous.
