TRAILS ROBBER IN VAIN
East Hammond Man in Long
Chase From East
st. Louis.

After trailing a man who had robbed
him of $3.50 all the way from East St
Louis to Hammond and then having
him arrested Dragon Grgich of 2213
Kansas avenue East st. Louis, may yet
fail to bring Steve Wakich to justice
because of a lack of funds.
Grgich learned that Wakich was at
the Standard Steel Car district and after
locating him he informed the local po-
lice that had been a warrant issued
from the police court in st. Louis and
that he would like to have the man ar
rested.
An officer went out to the Standard
and found Wakich boarding with b G.
Frebevich and arrested him. In the
meantime the police learned that Grgich
had spent all of the money he had In
carrying on the search and he did MOI
even have enough to send a telegram
to East St Louis for more money
It will be necessary to get out req
uisition papers to take the prisoner
back to East st. Louis and it will cost
so much to take the prisoner back thai
It is likely he will be released for the
want of prosecution.

Think 1t Is Sure Democratic.
Kern Wants To Be Senator,

1t is said to be the feeling of these
aspirants that If Kern should be nom
mated for vice president and the dem
ocratic national ticket should be de-
feated, it would make Kern the logical
candidate for senator from Indiana.
The prestige given him by his nomina-
ton for the vice presidency would be
fnsurmountable for his competitors in
the senatorial race. it is said. Hence,
these particular Indianians are not
urging Kern's nomination for second
place with all the zeal that might
otherwise characterize their support
According to these reports Kern him
self is alive to the situation, and is
said to prefer the senatOrship to the
vice presidency. He has stated that
he will make no effort to get the vice
presidential nomination. and it is said
he may finally decide not to allow the
use Of his name in that connection.

The oceans occupy three-fourths Of
the surface of the earth. A mile down
in the sea the water has pressure
of a ton to every square inch. IL a
box six feet deep was filled with sea
water, which was then allowed to
evaporate. there would be two inches
of salt left in the bottom of the box.
Taking the average depth of the
ocean to be three miles, there would
be q layer OF salt $40 feet thick COW
ering the bottom, in case all the wat
err should evaporate. In many places,
especially in the far North, the water
freezes from the bottom upward.
Waves are deceptive things. To look
at them one would gather the impress
sion that the whole water travelled.
This, however, is not so. Tho water
stays In the same place, but the mo-
ton goes on. In great storms waves
are sometimes forty feet high, and
their crests travel fifty miles an hour.
The base OF wave (the distance
from valley to Valley is usually con-
sidered as being fifteen times the
height of the wave. Therefore a wave
twenty-five feet high would have a

BRAIN POWER

A lady writer who not only has
done good literary work, but reared
a family, found in Grape-Nuts the
ideal food for brain work and to de-
velop healthy children. She writes:-
i am an enthusiastic proclaimer
OF Grape-Nuts as regular diet. I
formerly had no appetite in the morn

my four children, had insufficient
nourishment for them.
"Uuable to eat breakfast l felt
faint later, and would go to the pam
try and eat cold chops, sausage,
cookies, doughnuts or anything hap
pened to find. Being a writer. at
times my head felt heavy and my
brain asleep.

began eating it every morning, also
gave it to the children, including my
10 months old baby, who soon grew
rs fat as little pig, good natured
and contented.

breast milk, and felt stronger within
two weeks. wrote evenings and
feeling the need Of sustained brain
power, began eating a small saucer
Of Grape-Nuts with milk instead Of

"A Business Parable.
By Hon. GARRY WILLARD.

Once a farmer had 1900 bushels
OF wheat, which he sold, not to a
single grain merchant, but to 1900
different dealers, bushel each. A
few of them paid in cash, but far
the greater number said it was not
convenient then, they would pay
later A few months passed and the
mans bank account ran low. How
is this?" he said. MY 1900 bush
els Of grain should have kept me in
affiuence until another crop is raised,
but have parted with the grain
and have instead only vast>number
of accounts, so small and scattered
that cannot get around and collect
fast enough to pay expenses"
So he posted up public notice
and asked all these who owed him to
pay quickly. But few came. The
rest said, Mine is only small mat
ter, and will go and pay one Of
these days." forgetting that. though
each account was very small, when
all were put together they meant a
large sum to the man. Things went
on thus. The man got to feeling so
bad that he fell out of bed and awoke
and running to his grainery found
his 1900 bushels of wheat still safe
there. He had only been dreaming.
Moral The next day the man
went to the publisher of his paper
and said: Here, sir, is the pay for
your paper, and when next years
subscription is due you can depend
on me to pay it promptly. 1 stood in
the position of an editor last night
