A New One About NAPOLEON,

A new" story about Napoleon is
necessarily doubtful; the probability
is that it is simply so old that it has
been forgotten. However, here is one
that Arthur NJ. Chuquet prints in
L'Opinion as never before published.
1t relatesto Napoleon and Butcher.
The emperor received the general
at the castle of Finkenstein, while he
was preparing for the siege of Danzig.
He drew him to window in an upper
story and paid him compliments on
his military gifts, and Butcher, going
away delighted, described the inter-
view to his aide-de-camp. What a
chance you missed" exclaimed the
latter.
you might have changed the whole
course of history"
"How?'
!, why. you might have thrown him
out of the window
"Confound it," replied. Butcher. 80
I might! If only had thought of it"

THE DOCTORS WIFE
Agrees with Him About Food.

A trained nurse says: I'm the
practice Of my profession have
found so many points in favor Of
Grape-Nuts food that unhesitatingly
recommend it to all my patients.
1T is delicate and pleasing to the
palate ian essential in food for the
sick), and can be adapted to all ages,
being softened with milk or cream
for babies or the aged when deficiency
of teeth renders mastioation impos.
sible. For fever patients or those on
liquid diet find 'Grape.Nuts. and albu.
men water very nourishing and re-
freshing.'. .
This recipe is my own idea and is
made as follows: Soak teaspoonful
of Grape-Nuts in glass of water for
an hour, strain and serve with, the
beaten white of an egg and>a spoonful
OF fruit juice for aayouring. This at
fords a great deal of nourishment that
even the weakest stomach can assim.
ilate without any distress.
My husband is a physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders it
many times for his patients.
Personally regard dish of Grape
Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the
ideal breakfast for anyone-well or
sick"

Tho Root of Altruisn,.

The three eternal roots of altruistic
energy are these: First. the principle
of justice: that there is moral law
before which all men are equal, SO
that I ought to help my neighbor to
his rights. Second, the principle of
charity;that owe infinite tenderness
to any shape or kind of man, however
unworthy or useless to the state.
Third, the principle Of free will; that
| can really decide to help my neigh
boz, and am truly disgraced If 1 do not
do SO. To this may be added the
idea of a definite judgment; that is,
that the action will at some time ter
ribly matter to the helper and the
helped.--G. K. Chesterton.

What is probably the biggest lot of
all fancy grade tobacco held by any
factory in the United States has lust
been purchased BY Frank p. Lewis, Of
Peoria, for the manufacture of Lewis
Single Binder Cigars. The lot will
make twenty-four carloads, and is Sc
lected from what is considered by ex-
perts to be the finest crop raised in
many years. The purchase of tobacco
is sufficient to last the factory more

MRS. LESLIE CARTER

Mrs. Leslie Carter will be seen at
Nixon's Apollo, April 20 and 30 and May
| in her magnificent production of John
Luther Longs new poetic drama, 'kas-
sa.' While Mrs. Carter is without ques
tion the foremost of all American dra-
matte stars, it is also true that she has
been generous to an extreme almost be-
yond conception in the presentation of
this play. In its massiveness and care
full detail her production of .kassa' is
said to be even more impressive than
the famous productions of Mansfield,
Bclasco or Irving. From the rise of the
curtain on the first act to the end it
is always evident that Mrs Carter never
considered any financial outlay too great
in its preparation. and one is carried
from one evidence of expensive stage
craft to another with amazing consecu-
tiyeness. 1t is probable that Mrs. Car
ter might have retired from the stage
and lived the rest of her life in comfort
and luxury on the money she has spent
on this one offering to the theatre go
ing public.
Mrs. Carter has surrounded herself
with a capable supporting company al
