Cutting Red Tape. ,


Many amusing stories are told OF
ways in which postof1ice officials, .in-
clined to keep too vigorously to the
letter Of their regulations. have been
thwarted. On one occasion man
asked for 240 penny stamps aud ten
dered payment in copper. The official
declined to receive it. whereupon the
man began buying and paying for one
stamp at time. Before he had got
dozen in that way the postof1ce official
had surrendered. 1t must have been
the same man or 4 near relative who
one Sunday went into a postofhce that
was open for telegraph business only.
He handed in Il sixpenny telegram and
asked to be supplied with two stamps
besides. No. he could not have stamps;
telegraph business only was transact
ed. Innoceptly he asked If he might
have his telegram back for moment
to add something. he added four
words to it and rendered the additional
twopence. The form was returned to
him with the stamps to af1x. Cross
ING out the four additional words. he
affixed the sixpenny stamp. pushed the
telegram under the counter rail and
walked out with his two stamps.-Lon-

great medical authority on
foods, says, about brain and

There is one kind of food
that seems to me of marked
value as a food to the brain and
to the whole body throughout
childhood and adolescence

Oats are the most nutritious
of all the cereals, being richer
in fats, organic phosphorus and
lecithins.
He says oatmeal is gaining
ground with the well-to-do OF
Great Britain. He speaks of it
as the mainstay of the Scottish

Hiornsen's Advise.

There is a story told Of Bjornstjerne
Bjornson that. arriving at a late hour
at the town Of Bergen. which was en-
fete to receive him. he vouchsafed to
the expectant people no finer words
of wisdom than a general recommen-
dation to 80 to bed.
In vain they appealed to him for
'song or sentiment" The great Bis
marck, said he. gave the same advice
under conditions all similar. and what
was good enough for Berlin must suf-
fee for Bergen.
Three years later. on visiting the
town for the second time. the master
novelist found a deserted city. Not
light burned in the dismal railway
station. no banners waved. no address
cs were read by portly burgomasters.
In vain Bjornson asked for cab.
"They have all gone to bed" was
the reply. And 80 Bergen remembered.

Ryan, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Pa
Ryan, was accidentally shot in
the head with target rifle, the
accident occurring at about hall
past two o'clock, and death en-
Sled a couple of hours afterward.
Little Dan and his brother, in
company with couple of Mr..
Alexander!s boys, were down on
the creek hunting and had the
target gun with them. Coming
to a nice hole in the creek they
decided to go in swimming and
Ray Alexander laid the gun on a
stump. His brother, Bert, picked
the gun up and was told to lay
it down, which he did, but in do
ing so he struck it too hard
against the stump and it was dis
charged, the bullet entering little
Dams head. Dan was undressing
when the gun went off, and was
pulling his shirt off.
The little fellows at once gave
the alarm and the wounded hey
was taken to the house, but he
never regained consciousness and
died in a couple of hours.
Funeral services were held on
Monday of this week and the re-
mains were taken to Columbus
for interment.

Good Order on the Grounds
From Fridays Reunion Daily

From Fridays Reunion Daily
In a conversation with County
Attorney Majors yesterday, we
learned that Camp Logan was
entirely free from joints, or any
places where intoxicating liquors
were disposed of, which probably
accounts for the very infrequent
disturbances and the few arrests.
True, some few DRINKS have
been taken in, but they we're
caused by parties bringing their
booze with them, and they we're
probably a few boot-leggers who
did their business so silly that it
was impossible to get on to them.
No better order has ever been
witnessed where so many people
were gathered together, and no
accidents of of any consequence
have occurred.

the habit of attending failed to
answer roll call. This can only
be accounted for from the fact,
that in the past year some have
answered the last roll call, while
others were kept away by failing
health. 1t was the unanimous
wish of those present, that all
surviving comrades of the old
10th Illinois Regiment, living in
reach, and able to do so, attend
roll call here on Thursday the
4th day of the reunion in 1910.

for the sake of meeting with us.
Those present cast a vote OF
thanks to Comrade Cooper foI
the splendid remembrance. The
comrades of the 10th take pride
in the fact, that Company 4, OF
the regiment has been honored
by furnishing the President, John
w. Cooper, of this association fol
the past twelve years. 1t is
great compliment to the ole
