He Bit.

He Bit.
Ex-Police Commissioner Bingham OF
New York said of graft at a recent
dinner:
THE CRATER isn't so easily caught;
he isn't quite so naive as an old fellow
they used to tell about in Andover.
This old fellow was suspected OF
tampering with the church collections.
A couple. of clumsy traps that were
set for him failed to work. Then n
day a young deacon walked past his
house leading a new horse.
That's a fine horse, deacon, the
old fellow shouted. Did you buy him
at the fair?'
Yes said the deacon. Then, as
the other came nearer, he added:
~ bought him with my pickings
out of the collection plate
THE old man looked Mortified.
Good gracious he said. I've oft
en- taken enough myself to buy a hat
or a pair of trousers; but, deacon, in
takin' enough to buy a horse amt ye

The Ia who deliberately sets about
TO wreck a train, as in the case of
the B. & o. disaster, is a greater
menace to the general public than the
man who in a moment of passion
takes the life of another. 1t is muir
der in either case, but in the former
the crime is conceived in cold blood
and perpetrated with diabolical de-
light, while it is Invariably a pure
matter of chance that the victims do
not number hundreds. The law

FOOD QUESTION
Settled with Perfect Satisfaction by
a D~yspeptic.

It's not an easy matter to satisfy all
the members of the family at meal
time as every housewife knows.
And when the husband has dyspep-
STA and can't eat the simplest ordinary
food without causing trouble, the food
question becomes doubly annoying.
An Illinois woman writes:
MY husbands health was poor, he
had no appetite for anything l could
get for him, it seemed.
HE was hardly able to work, was
taking medicine continually, and as
O as he would feel better would go
to work again only to give up in a
few weeks. He suffered severely with
stomach trouble.
Tired of everything I had been able
to get for him to eat, n day seeing
an advertisement about Grape-Nuts, l
got some and tried it for breakfast the
next morning.
we all thought it was pretty good
although we had no idea Of using it
regularly. But when my husband came
home at night he asked for Grape
Nuts.
1T was the same next day and I
had to get it right along, because when
we would get to the table the question,
Have you any Grape-Nuts' was a reg
ular thing. So l began to buy it by
the dozen pkgs.
My husbands health began to inn
prove right along. I sometimes felt
offended when I'd make something I
thought he would IKE for a change,
and still hear the same old question.
Have you any Grape-Nuts?
He got SO well that for the last
two years he has hardly lcst q day
from his work. and we are still using
Grape-Nuts." Read the book, "The
Road to MELVILLE" in pkgs. There's
a reason"
Ever read the o letters A new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine. true. and full Of humas

True Representative of Race.

DIR. Bethmann-Hollweg may claim
this distinction, that he is the first
German chancellor to wear a beard.
Bismarck fastened to shave his off
when he entered upon diplomacy, and
showed his rivals and enemies a
massive jaw and clear-cut chin; and
he shaved to the end, with an inter-
val enforced by neuralgia in the early
sos. AS a soldier, too, Caprivi shaved,
all but his mustache, and so did
Hohenlohe and Bulow. But Beth
mann-Hollweg is gaunt, rugged. hir-

The capture of a four-pound salmon

jured hope that the salmon fry plant,

but the fact that only a few of the fish
