mans face black. In the morning,
when awakened by the proprietor, he
got up, and happened to catch sight

The Speaker a Servant.

The speaker is the servant of the
house, says Joseph G. Cannon in the
Century. The speaker is elected by a
majority of the members, and he can
be deposed and another man elected
any hour of any day that he fails to
majority would have it fulfilled And
yet there are men who profess to be
well-informed on public affairs who
tell people that the speaker is a pow
err in himself without regard to the
majority. These people are not en-
tirely disingenous; they have method
in their misrepresentation.

MAKING SUNSHINE
1t Is Often Found in Pure Food.

The improper selection of food
drives many a healthy person into the
depths of despairing illness. Indeed,
much sickness comes from wrong food
and just SO surely as that is the case
right food will make the sun shine
once more.
An old veteran of Newburyport,
Mass, says: I'm October, l was taken
sick and went to bed, losing At pounds

almost entirely on magnesia and soda.
All solid food distressed me so that
water would run out of my mouth in
little streams.
IT had terrible night sweats, and my
doctor finally said l had consumption
and must die. My good wife gave up
all hope. We were at Old Orchard,
Me-, at that time and my wife saw
Grape-Nuts in a grocery there. She
bought some and persuaded me to
try it.
81 had no faith in it, but took it to
please her. To my surprise it did not
distress me as all other food had done
and before I had taken the fifth pack
age was we'll on the mend. The pains
left my head, my mind became clearer
and I gained weight rapidly.
81 went back to my work again and
now after six weeks use of the food
am better and stronger than ever be-
fore in my life. Grape-Nuts surely
saved my life and made me strong

4 BLIND MANS PICTURE.
Work OF sightiess Painter Shown st st
International Congress.

There used to be a saying among the
friends OF the blind that "a blind man can
do anything but paint picture but
since Miss Winifred Holt came back from
the international congress for the blind.
held recently in England it has fallen into
disuse; for a sightless Russian has
demonstrated that blind man can paint
q picture. and his work was shown at
at the international congress.
Miss Holt told aboutit at the last meet-
ing OF the Blind Mems Improvement Club
In this city. The blind artist keeps each
Of his colors in a separate box and each
box is mark ed with characters which to
his touch spell the name Of the color ths
box contains.
AS might be expected. he Is an i'm
pressionist. He knows that trees and
grass are green and sky is blue and clouds
are white. 30 he lays on his green and
blue and white in generous patches, like
any other impressionist. and the result
is a picture.
1T wasn't a very good picture said
Miss Holt, who il herself sculptress
and may be supposed to have a critical
taste, but 1t was neither better nor worse
than great many other pictures that are
cold right here in New YORK.
Another feat which was reported to
the congress OF the blind was the saving
Of two lives by a pair OF blind English
boys last year. Two sighted persons
we're drowning when the blind lads heard
their cries for help, swan to them and
8 OF them safe ashore.
