PROSE POEM BY HAWTHORNE.
Description Of "oId Maid In the Wind

In the Language.

A taint Of insanity affected the whole
life of the lovelorn "Old Maid in the
Winding Street." bereft as she was by
the sudden death of her lover. But
SO quiet, sad and gentle, SO utterly
free from violence was she, that she
was suffered to pursue her harmless
fantasies unmolested by the world
with whose business or pleasure she
had naught to do. She dwelt alone
and never came into the daylight ex-
cept to follow funerals. Whenever a
corpse was borne along the street, in

garment which the people called her
shroud. She took no place among the
kindred or the friends. but stood at
the door to hear the funeral prayer
and walked In the rear OF the process
sion as one whose earthly charge it
was to haunt the house of mourning
and be the shadow of affection and
see that the dead were duly buried.
So long had this been her custom that
the inhabitants deemed her part of
every funeral as much as the coffin
pail or the very corpse itself and it

Fine Pyrotechnle Display.
After a good rest, the city's guests
all turned out again this evening and
witnessed the magnificent display OF
fireworks on the top of Ensign peak.
This peak lies Immediately north Of
the city and is the highest point OF the
Wasatch mountains. rising 1900 feet
higher than Temple square. The py-
rotechnic display Is mighty feature
of the encampment week.
Salt Lake City has thrown open her
arms to the old soldiers. and never
has the Grand Army been more en-
ously entertained than at this en-
campment. Many thousands Of the
veterans and their families and mem
bers of all the organizations allied to
the Grand Army have participated in
the exercises and entertainments, and
are unanimous in their praise Of the
treatment they have received.
Well Managed Encampment.
The old soldiers have been very
carefully looked after by the local
committee on public comfort and pri-
vate Accommodations. and at the "a
information bureaus at the various
railway stations and convenient places
about the city. During the entire time
of the encampment these committees
have had the services of 300 high
school cadets, whose duties have been
to render every possible assistance to
the visitors.
Henry NJ. Nevius. the commander-in-
chief, arrived here Saturday with his
staff and inspected the arrangements.
On Sunday the city's guests began ar
irving by the thousand, and on Mon
day they came in so fast that the COM
mittee had to work like sailors to get
them all housed in such manner as
to avoid congestion in any part of the
city.
Big "Greetings" Meeting.
Monday evening came the first pub

been received and distributed. That
night the greatest function of the en-

ON FOOD
Tho Right Foundation Of Health.

Proper food is the foundation OF
health. People can eat improper food
for time until there is sudden col
lapse of the digestive organs, then all
kinds of trouble follows.
The proper way out of the difficulty
is to shift to the pure, scientific food,
Grape-Nuts, for it rebuilds from the
foundation up. A New Hampshire
woman says:
Last summer I was suddenly taken
with indigestion and severe stomach
trouble and could not eat food with
out great pain, my stomach was SO
sore could hardly move about. This
kept up until I was so miserable life
was not worth living.
Then a friend finally, after much
argument, induced me to quit my for
mer diet and try Grape-Nuts.
Although had but little faith I
commenced to use it, and great was
my surprise to find that I could eat
1t without the usual pain and distress
in my stomach.
SO kept on using Grape Nuts and
soon a marked improvement was
shown. for my stomach was perform
ing its regular work in a normal way
without pain or distress.
Very soon the yellow coating disap-
peared from my tongue, the dull,
heavy feeling in my head disappeared,
and my mind felt light and clear; the
languid, tired feeling left, and alto
gether felt as II had been rebuilt.
Strength and weight came back rapid
ly and 1 went back to my work with
renewed ambition.
To-day / am new woman in mind
as well as body, and owe 1t all to
this natural food, Grape-Nuts." !"
