CUT OUT FOR A FINANcIER.
shrewd Rascal Made Good Thing Out
of WhlstIing Geese.

Two rogues passed a poultry shop
Seeing two geese hung up for sale one
of the rogues inserted in the gullet
Of the goose little bulb with whistle
attached. When the bulb was pressed
the whistle sounded
Then, entering the store, he told the
proprietor that he had hanging out
side a very rare kind Of whistling
goose. The proprietor at once sold
the goose for big sum to a very
learned professor, who was astonished
to hear about the whistling goose.
Seeking the man who had placed the
whistle in the gullet of the bird, the
proprietor asked him If he knew
where others like 1t could be OBJ
tanned.
We'll" said the crafty fellow, II
know Of only one place, and If you will
pay me a big price will get several
for you"
So the rogue brought dozen fowls,
in the gullet of each of which he
thrust a whistle, and was paid an ex-
orbitant price for them before the
hoax was discovered.

less and worthless a darby, says he, as
ever he came across. One day the
employer his patience exhausted,
called Sam into his Office and told him
to look for another job. ''Will you give
me a letter Of recommendation" asked
Sam, piteously. Although he felt that
he could not conscientiously comply
with this request, the Baltimore mans
heart was touched by the appeal. So
he sat down to his desk to write a
non-committal letter of character for
the negro. His effort resulted as fol-

BRAIN POWER
Increased by Proper Feeding.

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 develop
healthy children. She writes:-

Being a writer, at times my head felt
heavy and my brain asleep.
when l read of Grape-Nuts l began
eating it every morning, also gave it
to the children, including, my 10
months old baby, who soon grew as
fat as a little pig, good natured and
contented.
"Within a week I had plenty of
breast milk. and felt stronger within
two weeks. l wrote evenings and
feeling the need of sustained brain
power, began eating a small saucer of
Grape.Nuts with milk instead of my
usual indigestible hot pudding, pie, or
cake for dessert at night.

HER CHOICE OF DEMISE.
Pathetic Thought of Little Girl Who
Had Lost Playmate.

Mary had for neighbor a small play
mate, much-loved and attractive boy.
The little lad rushed across the street
one day, throwing back a glance at his
mother. At that instant a trolley car
swept around the corner and the re-
sulting tragedy threw the town into
mourning. Each family wept as
though its own son had been lost.
Mary was utterly disconsolate and,
little as she had previously known Of
death, realized in a childish way the
added horror of this one. In her con-
vulsive grief, and while her father and
mother sat with sobs in their Threats
and tears overlooking, Mary straight
ened up and sobbed:

SPOKANE ITALIANS WORRIED.

Fear Black Hand and Declare Belief
That Emissarles OF Murderous Band
Are Near.
Firm in the belief that members
OF the notorious Black Hand society
are in Spokane for the purpose OF
forming branch OF the dreaded or
ganization IN this city, several promI-
nent members Of the local Italian
colony have communicated their sus-
picions to the police Detectives
have been Investigating the reports
and close watch is being kept on
certain resorts where the suspects are
likely to congregate and on individ-
uals toward whom they manifest any
decided intimacy, says the Spokesman
Review.
While as yet the police have no con-
elusive evidence that agents Of the
Black Hand are at work here yet they
consider the suspicious OF prominent
Italian merchants as not being en-
tirely groundless.
While the majority Of these busl-
ness men are willing to talk freely
regarding their suspicious, none OF
them will consent that his name In
any way should be publicly mentioned
for fear of becoming target for the
vengeance of this deadly secret or
ganizaton. One Italian saloon man,
whose place was broken into and rob-
bed short time ago. told the police
that he was confident that he knew
who committed the robbery, but was
unwilling to divulge the name Of the
suspect to the officers because of his
belief that the latter was affiliated
with the Black Hand.
