FORMER KNIGHTS OF THE eRlF
Among Them Were Merchants, Writ
ers and a Great Evangelist.

Marshall Field was a commercial
traveller; so were John Wanamaker and
Tom Murray. So also were Dwight l..
Moody, the great evangelist, and Rich
ard Golden, the English statesman and
writer.
Ex-Governor Frank Black, Of New
York, followed the road with his sam
pie cases before beginning his legal and
political career. Walter D. Moody, one
Of the chief executives of the Chicago
Association OF Commerce, was for Is
years a o salesman. This list might
be extended almost indefinitely.
Occasionally the commercial traveller
leaves the o to enter one OF the pro
fessions. According to Everybody's,
Milton ]. Foreman, n of the leaders
Of the Chicago bar, president of the
Chicago Charter association, alderman,
and a power in local politics, was a
star hat salesman and took his law
books on the o with him until he
was well grounded in the rudiments Of
the profession.

In Marrow Quarters.
From the New York Sun


For many years old Colonel Lee re-
sided in Ninth street, New York, neal
the Hotel st. Denis. He is still re-
membered by hundreds Of New York
ers for his bright manner and happy
apt remarks.
When the project for erecting ar
equestrian statue to General Wash
ington in Union Square was proposed
Colonel Lee was intrusted with one
of the subscription papers for circu-
latiOn. Shortly after receiving 1t he
approached a we'll known citizen and
asked for a subscription. But the
citizen declined to subscribe, stating
in a rather pompous manner:
Il do not consider, sir, that there Is
any necessity for a monument to Mr.
Washington. His fame is undying; il
is enshrined in the hearts of his conn
trymen."
lis he enshrined in your heart?" soft
ly inquired the colonel.
He is, sir"
well, all ! have to say" retorte6

place"

THE T WIFE
Agrees with Him About Fo

Agrees with Him About Food.
A trained nurse says: In the prac-
tice of my profession i have found so
many points in favor of Grape-Nuts
food that unhesitatingly recommend
IL to all my patients.
1T is delicate and pleasing to the
palate Tan essential in food for the
sick) and can be adapted to all ages,
being softened with milk or cream for
babies Or the aged when deficiency OF
teeth renders mastication impossible.
For fever patients or those on liquid
diet | find Grape-Nuts and albumen
water very nourishing and refreshing
This recipe Is my own idea and is
made as follows: Soak a teaspoonful
Of Grape-Nuts in a glass of water for
an hour, strain and serve with the
beaten white OF an egg and a spoonful
of fruit juice for ~iavouring. This af-
fords a great deal of nourishment that
even the weakest stomachs can assimi-
late without any distress.
My husband Is a physician and he
uses GraDe-Nuts himself and orders 1t
many times for his patients.
Personally | regard a dish OF Grape
nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the
ideal breakfast for anyone-well or
SICK.
In any case of stomach trouble, nery:
Gus prostration or brain fag-a 10

Summer Hymn.

The year draws near its golden-heartec
prime,
FULFILLED of grandeur rounded nj grace;
We seem to hear sweet notes of joyance
chime
From elfn bells through many a green
wood place.
The sovereign summer, robed and gar
landed,
Looks, stepped in verdure, up h en-
chanted skies;
A crown, ~sun-woven, round her loyal
head,
And loves warm languor In her dreamy
eyes.
We quaff our fill of beauty, peace de-
light;
But mid the enhancing scene a stir
voice saith,
IF the earth, heavens shadow, shows a
face SC bright,
What OF Gods summer past the straits
OF death?"

What You Don't Know Don't

A woman came into the general store
with a Jar Of butter. She desired to
exchange 1t for another Jar of butter.
In churning her butter h had dis

which is as follows: The patrons of the

to provide themselves with stamp sup
plies in advance of their needs and to
equip their boxes with suitable coin
holding receptacles instead of placing
small coins loose in the boxes. Pick
ing loose coins from boxes causes need
less hardship and suffering to carriers
in winter weather, delays the delivery
and collection of mails, and frequently
results in actual money loss to carriers.
for If, in taking coins from boxes they
drop them into the snow or on the
ground without recovery, they are
compelled to replace the amount out of
their own funds.
