That gentle but wise philosopher of East Au-
rora, N. Y, Ebert Hubbard, has long been recog-
nized as man who possesses plethora of grey
matter. In Tile Dhlllshine for January we happened
to see the following little sermon: 'Gt is greater
disgrace to be sick than ito be in the penitentary
If you are in the pen it is sign you have broken
some made statute; but if you are sick, it is
sign that you have broken some God-made law
There who say that Mr. Hubbard is daffy.
If he s it is too bad there are not few more like

Bede'S BUd6 ct.

AFTER being in retirement for several years,
Bede,s Budget has been resurrected and placed IN
general circulation. The present paper is almost
replica of the Budget that became famous before
its clever proprietor gave up the tripod for the
stump The paper is an excellent tonic for who
has trouble of his own and few that are
thrust upon him. for the Budget is replete with witty
paragraphs and sensible logic Some years ago
Jadam entertained the prisoners here with of
his thumb-nail sketches and some Of the old timers
are still laughing It is with the keenest pleasure
that we again place the Budget upon our exchange
list, and wish it Joy and happiness.

LOndON'S Latest Fad.
The latest fad adopted in London by the smart
set is to be silly" not naturally but merely
pose Altho the statement preposterous, it is
said that it requires considerable ingenuity to play
the game successfully One of the authorities on
this innovation is quoted saying "That this silly
phase is kind of protest against the heavy minded
ness which was fast overtaking u.s." The phrase,
sheavy mindedness,' looks innocent, but it fits in
snugly and serves as good excuse
If this fad should happen to reach New York
and Newport, it will be welcomed quite heartily It

MOTHER AND CHILD
Both Fully Nourished on Grape-Nuts.

The value of this famous food is
shown in many ways, in addition to
what might be expected from it's chem
ical analysis.
Grape-Nuts food is made of whole
wheat and barley is thoroughly baked
for many hours and contains all the
wholesome ingredients in these ce-
reals
1t contains also the phosphate of
potash grown in the grains, which Ma
ture uses to build up brain and nerve
cells.
Young children require proportion
ately more of this element because the
brain and nervous system of the child
grows so rapidly.
A Va. mother found the value of
GrapeNuts in not only building up her
own strength but in nourishing her
baby at the same time. She writes:
After my baby came | did not re-
cover health and strength, and the
doctor said ! could not nurse the baby
as | did not have nourishment for her,
besides | was too weak.
He said | might try a change of
diet and see what that would do, and
recommended Grape-Nuts food. I
bought a pkg and used it regularly.
A marked change came over both

their race did not invariably get him
their vote. Occasionally they nomin-
ated a man of their race for the ex-
press purpose of defeating him, be-
cause he had proved himself too small
for the position.
The Germans were good, live poli-
ticians, and like as in other matters,
somewhat Teutonic in their prejudices
and tendencies. Clannish was hardly
the word for their particular brand of
political cohesion. Out of the ruck of
many particular defeat would emerge
triumphant the form of some German
candidate whose race vote had been
pumped solidly for him, no matter
what party he belonged to. To nom
mate state, county or city ticket
without the name of at least one rep
resentative German for one of the prin-
cipal offices, was something that no
party convention either cared or dared
to do. A good many of the Germans
still spoke the language of the Father
land, and even when there were spies
about, seeking to pick up crumbs of
information, they were usually baffied
by the vernacular." The Germans had
good solid, and eloquent speakers
among them, and they were excellent
campaigners
Their particular wards elected Ger
man aldermen as a rule, and as
rule the German office-holders were
good men. Occasionally they were
amusingly Independent when given
appointive offices. To go against a
mayors wishes when placed in an ap-
pointive position Is as much worse
than lese majestic as murder is more
of crime than petty larceny Yet
on occasions the sturdy independence
OF the Teutonic mind boiled over An
alderman called on a German official
with request from a mayor (not in
my time) to do something the official
disapproved of. The official took the
message with an expressive shrug of
the shoulders. 81 won't do it," was his
answer. But I've got the mayors
ORDERS" replied the surprised and in
dignant city father. Il don't care
what you've got" was the retort. "You
amt got me, Helm. l run this office.
I've got my resignation written and
in my pocket. The mayor can have
this office in ten minutes if he wants
it, but he can't have me-" So the alder
man had to give it up, and the official
remained.
The Hebrew wards were inclined to
a man of their own race, but they
were not massed excepting in about
three wards. They are not, strictly
speaking, a people who "go in" very
strongly for politics, but they make
success Of it when they do engage
in it deliberately. The scattering vote
of this nationality was large, but di-
vided among so many wards that it
was a matter of uncertainty as to
number. But where they had taken
up residence almost solidly, as in
certain wards, they ran things them
selves. When they engaged actively
