Some years ago the French acad-
envy awarded prize and medal to
Mile. Bonnefois, then woman of 10,
as reward for the success of her
educational work among the gypsies.
Mile. BonnefOis, herself a gypsy, was
the leader of the peripatetic fairs
throughout Paris and the provinces.
The age of seventeen became turn
ing point in Mile Bonnefois' career.
She had a sudden vision of the good
and the beautiful, and began teaching
the children of the fakirs, rope walk
ers and showmen TO read and TO live
right lives. She talked with the
parents, too, and finally at Amiens, on
the last day of the fair, SO gypsies
of all ages came through her influence
TO make their first communion.

Mile. Bonnefois transformed the little
wheeled cars of her fair into ambu-

cars was set apart for a travelling

PUZZLED
Hard Work, Sometimes, to Raise
Children.

Children's taste is ofttimes more ac-
curate, in selecting the right kind of
food to fit the body, than that of
adults. Nature works more accurate
ly through the children.
A Brooklyn lady says: Our little
boy had long been troubled with
weak digestion. We could never per-
suade him to take more than one taste
of any kind Of cereal food. He was
a weak little chap and we were puz-
zled to know what to feed him on.
Zone lucky day we tried Grape
Nuts. Well, you never saw child
eat with such relish, and it did me
good to see him. From that day on
it seemed as though We could almost
see him grow. He would eat Grape
Nuts for BIZ eakfast and supper, and
think he would have liked the food
for dinner.
1.-THE difference in his appearance is
something wonderful.
my husband had never fancied CO.
real foods of any kind, but he be-
came very fond of Grape-Nuts and has
been much improved in health since
using it.
I'VE are now a healthy family. and
naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
"a friend has two children who were
ormerly afflicted with ricketts,. / was
satisfied that the disease was caused
by lack of proper nourishment. They
showed it. So / urged her to use
Grape-Nuts as an experiment and the
result was almost magical.
They continued the food and today
both children are we'll and strong as
any children in this city, and, of
course, my friend is firm believer in
Grape-Nuts for she has the evidence
before her eyes every day"

he had been in the grove for a couple

More than an hour had gone by
when Mr.. Flemming heard the rum

the sky darkening. There was going
to be a thunderstorm. He heard ex-
carnations and CALCULATIONS from the
young ladies and knew they were pre-

The voices of a dozen running,

had laid down his fishpole, when he

FAT BURGLAR

Probably the fattest burglar in the world-if his discarded trousers were properly moulded to his fgure-was responsible for the bold footing of the store of Caesar Misch, Inc in the heart of the business section last night when hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise was stolen.
 This morning when Manager Her man Walder and Detective Peter Hall were securing through the premises in search of clues, they chanced up on a pair of trousers of enormous size. They were much the worse for wear. It is the belief of Walder and the detective that the burglar tossed aside his well worn garment and donned a suit of the Misch variety, but Walder admits that even the largest he had in stock must have given the cracksman pretty snug it if his discarded garment was drawn upon conventional lines. This is the third time in many years that the store has been footed.
 The burglary was discovered when the store was thrown open for busi- ness this morning. Fur coats mems

CHARLES H. ARMSTRONG FOREMOST MANUFACTURER TO BE NOMI-
 NEE FOR STATE SENATE
Popular Demand For His Nomination by Dem- ; Ocrats of District Seconded by Hosf of
 Independent Republicans

Charles H. Armstrong secretary and treasurer of the Armstrong Mfg. Co., and one of the leading manufac cturers of the city has at the earnest re- quest of foremost citizens consented to accept the Democratic Senatorial nominat tion from the 21st District, to run against Attorney Frederick A. Bartlett.
 MT. Arnastrons's acceptance of the tentative offer of the nomination came after delegations of the leading Dem mocrats of his own district had waited upon him with assurances that there was a strong sentiment demand ing his making the run. The entry of MT. Armstrong into the Senatorial race puts a, new complexion upon the situation in the 21st ordinarily strongly Republican district, for he has the confidence and respect of hum dreds of Republicans throughout the district. many of whom may safely be counted upon to support him on election day.
 MT. Armstrong is not a politician. The son of Frank Armstrong, who founded in Civil War times the fac tory of the Armstrong Mfg. Go. in Kpowlton street, he has always been identified with his fathers enterprise. A Democrat in politics, he has not
 mingled in factional affairs, being content to cast his ballot with the cause of Democracy from year to year. His only public office has been upon

 Last evening the delegates of the Fifth district waited upon MT. Arm strong at his home, and prevailed up- on him to accept their pledge of sup port for the nomination. Promptly communicating with the delegates from the First district, they were as- sured that the candidacy of MT Arm strong would find hearty support from the First, and today it was learned that the sentiment throughout the dis trict is unanimous for the manufac- turer.
 The acceptance of the nomination by MT. Armstrong means the sacrifice of much valuable time from his busf- ness duties. and bespeaks fine citizen ship. Ordinarily the district from which MT Armstrong will make the run is strongly Republican, but with the disturbed condition of the Repub- licans, particularly in the Fist dis trict, the outlook for Democratic vic tory is more suspicious than for many years.
 The Senatorial convention of the 21st district will be held in Democr& tbc headquarters Thursday evening when the nomination of MT. Armstrong will be unanimously effected.

 Crippen was attired as elaborately as the veriest dude from Hyde Park or Rotten Row. The dapper little American wore new black broadcloth frock coat, cut according to the latest style. His pert gray trousers were creased as though they had just come from the tailor's, while his linen was immaculate. He even wore spats.
 He seemed to gain confidence as the trial proceeded. Io1Iing back in his chair, he smiled with apparent conf dence as Kings Counsel Muir flayed him in the opening address to the jury.
