When Grant Went.a.C curtin.

In the February Circle maya
zine Mrs. En- ina Dent Casey tells
Of Grants wedding as she re.
mem bers it:
During the ceremony 1 sat as
quietly as could on a pier table
with Miss Amanda Shields, who
afterward became my brother
Johns wife. We tried to be seen
and not heard, but l fear we sue
ceeded in beng heard more than
anybody else. At any rate, l
have since learned 1T from the
lips of Cadmus Wilcox (afterward
General Wilcox) that 1 was the
most pestiferous little nuisance
during the whole wedding; that |
was under his feet all the time
when L was not under somebody
else's feet, and that he had most
heartily wished me In bed. No
doubt we were both as ubiquitous
and chitterlns as most small girls
are apt to be on such occasions.
But, at least, l sat still long
enough to admire my big SISTERS
evtreme prettiness as she stood
IN her bridal dress beside her
quiet, self possessed soldier.
Captain Grant was as cool under
the fire of the clergyman's ques-
tions as he had been under the
fires of the Mexican artillery.
He did not look as if he were
ashamed or afraid to be there, as
l have seen some other BRIDE
grooms look"
Mrs. Casey also mades en- I'm.
portant contribution to the con.
troversy about Grants early
habits:
perhaps 1 ought to have said
before-though it will apply
equally as we'll here-that during
all the time l knew Grant, be.
tween his return from California
in 1854 to the fall of Vlcksburg,
| never saw him intoxicated. 1
never saw him under the influence
of hquor. If he ever was, 1T was
not known to the mem bers of his
immediate family. Charges that
he was heavy driLker were made
in those days, and have been made
since. General Grant never gave
them any notice. Mrs. Grant al
so ignored them, though she felt
deeply cut by the injustice Of
them, and perhaps, it Is not my
place at this late date to resent
the recent statements made by a
prominent man IN public life, un-
der the very shadow of Grants
tomb. Therefore, l will content
myself with saying again that if
General Grant was ever a victim
of the liquor habit 1t was a con-
dition which he happily concealed
from those nearest his heart,
closest in their association with
him, and who loved him best"

You want of the food you need
Kodo1 will digest it.

You need sufficient amount of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach If

You must eat in order to live and

You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat a sufiic-

MAJORITY CONSENT
TO THE SPUR TRACK
After Two Years the Southern Cali
fornia Hardwood Company
May Secure the Inn
proVement

The Southern California Hardwood
Manufacturing company will probably
ask the city council today to amend
the ordinance requiring the consent of
a majority of the frontage when a spur
track is to be laid on a public street.
For two years this company has been
trying to get a spur track on Kohler
street between Eighth and Ninth from
the Pacific Electric railway but has
not yet succeeded because of the re-
quirement of a majority consent When
the first petition was presented two
years ago it bore the signatures of
the owners of a majority of the 'front.'
age, but before the council could act
one property owner withdrew his sigma
ture, reducing the front feet represent
ed on the petition to a minority.
This property owner now says he will
not oppose the granting of the spur,
but will not sign in its favor and it is
expected that an amendment Will be
proposed that will permit the council
to grant spur track franchises except
in cases of a majority protest.

GOLDlE ENGBERG'S FAMILY
THREATENED WITH DEATH

PITTSBURG, Kas., Dec. Word
was carried to Coroner Dudley and the
members of the coroners jury today
that a masked man had appeared at
the Engberg home last night and hau
warned the family that if the investiga-
ton of the death of Goldie Engberg
did not stop there would be another
death in the family.
There are several persons who nave
refused to give testimony before the
coroner's jury. Coroner Dudley an
nounced that if they did not talk when
the hearing was resumed Thursday he
would put them in Jail until their
tongues were loosened.
The coroner said the jury investiga-
ton thus far tended to show that the
girl was murdered, and that insurance
money figured in the case.

CROSS APPEAL NOTED IN
LABOR INJUNCTION CASE

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE Ameri-

cross appeal to the United States
supreme court from the decision of the
court of appeals in the injunction case
of the Bucks Stove and Range COM
pany of st. Louis. Chief Justice
Shepard allowed the appeal.
The st. Louis concern some time ago
appealed from the decision on the
ground that the court erred in modify
ing the injunction of the lower court.
This cross-appeal of the labor organ
ization is based upon the theory that
the appellate court ought to have
further modified the decree or re-
Yersed it.

The Blood is The Life"

Science has gone beyond the above simple
statement of scripture. But it has illuminated that
statement and given it meaning ever broadening
with the increasing breadth of knowledge. When
the blood is bad " or impure it is not alone the
body which suffers through disease. The brain is
also clouded, the mind and judgement effected,
and many an evil deed or impure thought may be
directly traced to the impurity of the blood.

PRESBYTERIANS
ON THE INCREASE

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. Aug. 5-The
Rev. Dr. w. II. Roberts, stated clerk Of
the General Assembly and statistician of
the Presbyterian Church in the United
States. says that that denomination is not
only not declining but continues to in
crease in number Of ministers. churches,
communicates and Sunday School schol-
ars.
The controversies connected with the
opposition to the Union with the Cumber-
land Presbyterian Church" he said, have
not availed TO rotard its progress. II re-
ports this year only eight ministers less
than i'm 1907, when the entire ministry Of
the Cumberland Church was counted in
the statistics; and only 2O0O0 communi-
cants less than in 1907. when the entire
active communicant membership Of the
Cumberland Church--145. .00o-was included
1T is alleged that the anti-unionists of
the Cumberland Church number about
10000. SO that the actual gain OF the Pres
byterian Church since 1907 appears to be
in the neighborhood OF 5000. The total
communicant membership reported this
year is l.s2i. $3.50. and this would show a
constituency for the church Of about 4o0O,-
coo persons.
'The increase in membership comes
chiefly from additions by examination.
The number received on profession OF faith
was s2.o5s. the largest number in the his
tory OF the denomination. This, in part,
Is due to the excellent work done by the
Eyangelistic Committee OF the General As
