Perquisites of London's Lord Mayor.

Although the mayoral perqulsites
are few in number his privileges dur
ing his year of Office are numerous,
but perhaps not altogether utilitarian.
For instance, he is the one man in the
city outside the tower who possesses
the password that will admit him at
any hour to the precincts of that ia
nous fortress. Four times a year is
this secret Information impaired to the
chief magistrate, and the solemnity of
the occasion is vastly increased by the
fact that the official intimation bears
his majestys autograph. The lord
mayor, again, has the right to a pri-
waite audience with the king whenever
he chooses to demand it; he has the
entree at 1evees and drawing rooms;
he drives straight into the ambassa-
doris court at st. James palace, while
other less exalted beings make a
pilgrimage round Constitution Hill,
and, among other coveted honors, he
has the privilege of ekfng out his Off
cial salary during his tenancy of the
Mansion house by drawing on his own
privy purse to the extent of about
$4,000. Who would not be lord

THEY STOLE CATTLE.
First Conviction of the Kind in Seward
County in Twenty Years

Liberal, kan, Jan. 23.-An unusual
case was tried at Liberal, the extra
ordinary feature about the affair being
that the defendants were found guilty
and sentenced to the penitentiary. the
first instance of a conviction for felony
in this county since 1889. The case
in question was what is known as the
cattle stealing case in which two
butchers, Homer Myers and James Ma
honey, and two cattlemen, Walter and
Robert McComas, were tried for steal
ing cattle. Walter McComas was tried
on the charge of stealing cattle in the
fall and released. Myers and Mahoney
were placed under bond and both
jumped their bond. Later they were
both captured and taken back to LIB
eral.
Myers afterward pleaded guilty and
Mahoney and McComas were found
guilty of stealing and conspiracy.
Myers, it will be remembered, escaped
from jail after he had pleaded guilty
and he is still at large. In the instruc-
lions to the jury Judge Thompson
called attention to the fact that sew
eral members of the jury had been
approached by Mahoney, who tried to
influence them.

FREAK IN SEQUOlA FOREST
Tree Trunk That Has Stood for Six
teen Years Severed From
Its Base.

Out in California there is a tree
trunk which has stood for the last 16
years entirely severed from it's base,
says the Wide World Magazine The
stump is 10 feet in diameter, and the
trunk towers rs feet in the air. This
remarkable freak is located near the
Sequoia forest reserve in Tulare coun-
ty, California, and was sawn off by
lumbermen for timber Through some
miscalculation, when the cut was fin
ished the tree still held its position,
and dynamite was resorted to to bring
it to the ground, which accounts for
the deep cash on one side. After the
first charge of the explosive had been
ignited the tree still remained stand
ing, and 1t was discovered that the
entire trunk had been shattered by
the discharge and was therefore use
less for lumber. Accordingly, the
work was stopped and the giant has
remained upright, withstanding some
of the severest wind storms that the
state has known, held in its natural
position by its great weight.

THE DOCTORS WIFE
Agrees with Him About Food.

A trained nurse says: 'In the

recommend it to all my patients.
1T is delicate and pleasing to the
palate Gan 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 mastication 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 a glass of water for
an hour, strain and serve with the
beaten white of an egg and spoonful
Of fruit juice for flavouring. This af-
fords great deal of nourishment that
even the weakest stomach can assim-
late 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"
In any case of stomach trouble, nerv-
