CONGENIAL WORK

And Strength to Perform 1t.
A person In good health Is likely to
aave 4 genial disposition, ambition, and
enjoy work.
On the other hand, II the digestive
organs have been upset by wrong food,
work becomes drudgery.
Until recently" writes a Washing
ton girl, II was a railroad stenog-
rapher, which means full work every
day.
Like many other girls alone in a
large city, l lived at a boarding house.
For breakfast 1t was mush, greasy
meat. soggy cakes, black coffee, etc.
After a few months of this diet l
used to feel sleepy and heavy in the
mornings. My work seemed a terrible
effort, and l thought the work was to
blame-too arduous.
AT home | had heard my father
speak Of a young fellow who went long
distances In the cold on Grape-Nuts
and cream and nothing more for break
fast.
IL concluded If il would tide him
over a mornings heavy work. it might
help me. 30 on my way home one night
| bought n package and next morning
! had Grape Nuts and milk for break
fast.
II stuck to Grape Nuts, and in
less than two weeks ! noticed improve
ment. | can't just tell how well | felt.
but | remember l used to walk the
II blocks TO business and knew how
good ii was simply to live.
AS TO my work-weli. did you ever
feel the delight Of having congenial
work and the strength TO perform it2
That's ROW ! felt. l truly believe
there's life and vigor in every grain OF

A Famous Architects Trick.

When Sir Christopher Wren was build.
ing the town hall of Windsor. a fidgety
member of the corporation. so the story
goes, insisted that the roof required
further support and desired the archi-
tect TO add more pillars. In vain did
Sir Christopher assure him that the
danger was imaginary. He knew bet
ter. The alarm spread. and the great
architect was worried into adding the
desired columns.
Years passed. and in later times,
when architect and patrons were dead.

vealed the fact that the supposed add.
tlonai supports did not touch the root
by two inches. though this was not per-
ceptihlc To the gaZers below.
BY this Ingenious expedient did Wren
pacify his critics. while indicating his
W architectural skill to future genera

CHAPTER w.

Rourke Trenham aud his wife return
ed to Winterfield for Christmas: and
from that time began Rourke's open. dar-
ing rivalry of the posscssor Of his old
home. Everything that Newley did Mt
Hoaye was, as Rcurke had said il should
be. outdone at Winterield. II Newley
had at all imagined it would be easy
TO eclipse the late squire. that imagina-
ton could lraye lasted but a very short
time. Whatever he might attempt, or
successfully carry out, at Hohve. was
presently excelled by something originated
by Rourke at Winterfield.
Thus the summer wen on, but the most
g~rieyous thing of all was to see that, as
Newley increased his expenditure by every
unsuitable means at Hohve, Rourke in
creased his at a still more rapid pace at
Winferfeld. Again and again would one
Of his real friends endeavor to arrest him
in his random career. but arguments seem
xed of little use.
1.-The cases are so different" they would
say. "Newley. with more money AT his
command than he knows what 10 do with,
may safely try his experiments and carry
out his whims but you. with the inn
fneasurably smaller means. leave these far
behind and rush into what shall totally
eclipse them. So. having the higher
tastes, as well as the lower funds, the
expense TO you is simply ruinous.'
$50 are other things" would Rourke
say carelessly III will all be the sa me

4 lie which has been. and viii lie. the
corner stone Of many an ediiee of self
destruction.
You will have TO retreneh rapidly il
you are 10 keep your head above water
much longer, Mr.. T~renham,' his lawyers
would say. in "A tone meant to he all
convincing and Ronrke would answer
that IL was all right aud le would re-
trench-presently.
Ne9iey had the estate for life and
If he. kourke. could not pay his own
debts, his sons would do SO for him.
Even IL that thief went on selling the
timber through all the time of his oceu-
patton. Hohve would still be the most val
liable estate in the county. and Winter
field itself by that time would be worth
taking of-all thanks be due to Mr..
Barile. as Trenham would add. with the
touch Of pathos which belonged to him.
So all advice and arguments Eel; TO the
ground, not even taking root there. as
SONS will when most neglected. 20 flourish

I talked with Cook personally

ly convinced that he is honest In
his belief that he has discovered

he has is correct, but admits that

If professional" scientists can

Cook will accept their findings

that he made a mistake.

as reasonably as any other In the

'.It is the duty of every business
man to assist as in securing a low

today. ST the county commissions

because of lack of support, II Is
the fault of the business men and

ours.
"I have done my best toward
assessing pierce county fairly and

there is no other county In the

II. @. Mutt, general manager of

that the agreement for the joint

1t Is believed that the illness of

document. AS yet no date has
been set for the running of trains
from the Hartman lines to Ia
coma.
There IL nothing to be gained
by the HERMAN lines coming to
Tacoma this summer" said a man
who is very close to the Southern
Pacific. Every railroad reaching
this section has all the business
1t can handle to advantage and
the increased cost of operating
trains here from Portland under
existing conditions would not re-
imIburse the company for the ad-
ded expenditure"
