and secretly pay the ransom of $4,000
if given an opportunity They have
slept but little since the kidnapping oc-
CURED and they apparently are resign
ed to the fact that the kidnapers have
the upperhand.
Every clue is being run down by the
boys uncle, Frank H. Bull, the million
aire steel man, who after an exhaustive
but unsuccessful search in Cleveland last
night returned to Sharon this afternoon.
The abduction recalls an almost SINH
lar case at Sharon years ago, when the
8-months-old son of a wealthy resident,
A. Levine, was kidnapped in the street,
while it's nurse was making purchase
in store. The parents received letter
informing them that the child would be
restored on payment of $4,000 and no
publicity. 1t was decided to pay the
ransom. A spot was designated and
two detectives detailed to watch the
place. An hour before the time agreed
upon for the placing of the money an
other letter was received by the parents.
1t read:
You have the police watching us. We
do not want your money now, but we
have your baby; you will never see him
again.
The kidnapers kept their word and
the father, who was a friend of J. P.
Whitla, spent nearly every cent he had
to get a trace of his child. A year la
ter a peddler discovered the child in a
home at Punxsutawney, Pa, where it
had been left eleven months previously
by a man and woman.

ROOSEVELT A WITNESS.
He Is Called Upon to Testify in Suit
Against Town Topics.

Oyster Bay. N. Y, March 20.-~As one of
the incidents preliminary to his depart
ure for his African hunting trip, Presi-
dent Roosevelt found himself a witness
in the library of his home in Sycamore
Hill today in a suit at law, which was
brought against a New York magazine
by a photographer.
Mr.. Roosevelt was represented by Unit
ed States Attorney Stimson, while the
deposition was being taken. Mr.. Roosevelt
was served with a supreme court sub
poena last week, asking for his deposit
ton in the suit brought by photographer
for $500 against the Town Topics Pub
fishing company which published three of
Mr. Roosevelt's photographs in the book
"Fads and Fancies."
Mr. Roosevelt denied that he had at any
time given permission to the company to
publish his pictures The photographer
then brought suit.
Four photographs were shown Mr..
Roosevelt, which he identified as taken of
him. One of the photographs was his
favorite picture, the ex-president said and
he autographed it and presented it to
Mrs. Wade Hampton.
Mr. Roosevelt said he was unable to say
whether he had authorized the publication
of the photographs or not, adding: 1--WE
are caught not in falsehood, but in a
forgetfulness.
Secretary of the Navy George Won L.
Myer, and District Attorney Stimson took
luncheon with Mr.. Roosevelt today

convinced in regard to matter of vi
tai importance. She says:

most a physical wreck. I suffered un-

not sleep at night, was on the verge
of nervous prostration.
Il finally purchased a pkg. of
Grape-Nuts, and the one package con-

TOO much cannot be said in favor

for that tired feeling. and produces a
