A DETERMINED WOMAN

"When l first read of the remark

termined to secure some," says a
woman of Salisbury, Mo. "At that
time there was none kept in this
town, but my husband ordered some
from a Chicago traveller.
At had been greatly afflicted with
sudden attacks of cramps, nausea,
and vomiting. Tried all sorts of rem
edies and physicians. but obtained
only temporary relief. AS soon as I
began to use the new food the cramps
disappeared and have never returned.

were a little slower to yield, but by
continuing the food, that trouble has
disappeared entirely. | am to-day

everything l wish, without paying the
penalty that l used to-. We would
not keep house without Grape-Nuts.
"My husband was SO delighted with
the benefits | received that he has
been recommending Grape-Nuts to
his customers and has built up a very
large trade on the food. He sells
them by the case to many of the lead
ing physicians of the county, who
recommend Grape-Nuts very general

Queer Customs.

Curious customs are noted among
the Minus, a little-known Asiatic race,
by an explorer, who writes: Through
living on the borders of Tibet, no
trace of Buddhism is found among
them. Their religion is animistic and
consists in the Precipitation of the
various spirits to whom sickness, fail
ure of crops and such like calamities
are attributed. The Precipitation
takes the form usually of the sacri-
fee Of a fowl or a pig, a small portion
being set aside for the spirit, the rest
going down the throats of the offerer
and his family.
1.-THE Minus bury their dead in a
suitable spot near the house." the
same traveller continues. "a child
is buried at once, but the corpse OF
an adult is kept in the house from
two to four days. The length of time
intervening between death and buria'
depends on the wealth of the de
ceasSd-the Weather the man the
longer the period.
"a month or so after burial, wher
the deceased relatives have had time
to prepare for it, a feast is given tt
the village. The grave is then opened
and the remains are burnt, the ashei
being left untouched" - Chicago

hayar r. al, various troopers sndi.

I began to call various troopers 4ndi-
vidually by name. Then the Rough
Riders really showed their capacity.
They stood up in their stirrups and
yelled and cheered until, in some
| cases at least, the tears began to roll
| down their cheeks. Then Colonel
| Brodie gave the command to fall in,
and they took their place in front of
the carriage bearing Mr.. Roosevelt,
Mayor Gaynor and Cornelius Wander
bilt, the chairman of the general re-
ception committee.
Preceding them came a squad of
mounted police and the mounted
! Squadron A band, while out in front,
i marshalling the parade, rode Chief
Inspector Schmittberger, of the Police
Department.
Following Mr.. Roosevelt's carriage
the committee, guests and official
| delegates rode in carriages, in the
first of which, besides Collector Loeb
and Gilbert H. Gary, of the reception
committee, were Secretary of Agricul-
ture James Wilson and Captain Arch
| ibald Butt, President Taft's personal
representative.
Fully a million and a half persons
stood and waited for the moment
when, in ship or in carriage, the re-
turning Roosevelt should come within
their field of vision, and when he did,
the noise broke loose. Bands blared,
cannon crashed and sirens screamed,
but above their din rose the steady,
| continuous thunder of human well
come.
ooh, you ROOSEVELT" Good old

and through it all he rode barehead-
ed, flushed with the pride of hero
worship, bowling to right and left,
picking out here and there some en-
thusiast for special notice, a wave Of
the hand or wide smile.
Theodore Roosevelt is little changed
from the man who sailed for Africa
fifteen months ago. A little more
grizzled, perhaps, as to the framing of
his upper lip, a trife heavier in the
shoulders from the muscle-forming
strenuousness of big-game hunting.
Colonel Roosevelt sped fast through
the city when the exercises of the day
had ended. At night he slept in his
home at Oyster Bay, but not until
| his progress there had been made the
occasion for neighborly greetings
that extended from Long Island City
to his home town.
Almost like an anti-climax to the
days drama of many acts was one of
Colonel Roosevelt's utterances after
he reached Oyster Bay. 1t was this:

Turning the Tables.

A Manchester, England, clergyman
once displayed his proves in the
same way as the minister of Corstor-
phine, who recently knocked a foot
pad senseless. Bishop Fraser wrote
to the fighting parson a letter of re-
proof, pointing out (among other
things) that, exposed as the Church
of England was to much criticism on
all hands, her ministers ought to be
very careful in their demeanor. The
offender replied by saying: Il must
regretfully admit that, being grossly
insulted and forgetting in the heat
of the moment the critical position
of the Church of England, / did not
knock the man down" Fraser, ac-
cording to Ambassador Bryce, who
tells the story, possessed more than
the average Bishops share of humor,
and was so delighted at this turning
of the tables that he invited the cler-
gyman to dine with him.-Rochester

TAFT SIGNS RAILROAD BILL.

a Law.

Washington, D. C.-The Taft rail-
road bill is now on the statute books.
The measure was finally passed by the
House and was signed by the Presi-
dent at night.
The President found both the Adj
m~inistration railroad bill and the
Statehood measure, which also went
through the House ON its final
passage, when he returned from his
trip to Pennsylvania.
The President was very tired, but
was so glad to find both these meas
ures, but particularly the railroad
bill, out of danger that he decided to
sign it without delay. The railroad
bill was over in the executive offices,
but the President had it brought to
the White House proper and affixed
his signature without any formality
in the presence of his secretary and
one or two others.

Safe to Hold Radium.

What is described by its makers
as the most ingenious safe ever con-
structed has just been completed by
the Chubb Company, of London, for
the British Radium Corporation. The
problem presented to the manufac-
turers was not only to construct a
safe that would bid defiance to bur-
glars, but which would at the same
time prevent the escape of the ra-
dunn.
1t is well known to science that ra-
dunn emanations will pass through
the thickest and hardest steel. For
this reason the inner Golfer of the
safe was made of lead three inches
thick, inclosed within a burglar-proof
steel shell. There are many other
special features, including a means
of collecting the radium emanations
before the Golfer is opened.
This compartment of the safe is
designed to hold 100 pounds OF ra-
dunn valued at $1,000, 100000. The
total weight of the safe is and a
half tons.-New York Sun.

Strange Fish.

Fred Dumont Smith, of Hutchin-

Lake Killarney. The only evidence
he found of the finny tribe ever hav-
ing inhabited that body of water was
a rumor circulating about that Brian
McCarty, or a mar of some such
name, had captured a salmon there
along about $50 B. c.
But Smith determined to fish any
way, and hired a guide to show him
the good places. He fished quite a
while and got not even a nibble.
Guide, are there any fish in this
lake," demanded Smith.
"Lashins iv thim," was the prompt
reply.
ANY trout?"
"Shure."
ANY bass?"
"Shure."

"Any Thermometers"
"Shure," responded the guide, but
in a confidential tone. "Shure, lots iv

Smith decided to wait until March.

Colonel Roosevelt back to America.

Mayor Gaynor, welcoming Colonel Roosevelt back to America,
greeted him with these words:
o. 1--WE are here to welcome Mr.. Roosevelt home to New York.
We have watched his progress through Europe with delight.
"Wherever he has gone he has been honored as a man and as
an exnonen of the principles of the Government OF this country.

man from this country ever was honored. We glory in all that,
and If ony remains for me to say now: Mr.. Roosevelt, we welcome
- home most heartily, and are glad to see you again"
READY TO "HELP TO SOLVE PROBLEMS"
In reply the ex-President said:
"I thank YOU. MI. Mayor; through you I thank your commit
70 and through them I wish to thank the American people for
their greeting. I need hardly say that I am most deeply moved by
the reception given to me. No man could receive such a greeting
without being made to feel very proud and very humble.
II have been a year and a quarter from America, and I have
seen strange and interesting things, alike in the heart of the
frowning wilderness and in the capitals of the mghtiest and most
highly polished of civilized nations.
"I have thoroughly enjoyed myself; and now I am more glad

of te United States is thereby, forever after, rendered the debtor
of the American people, and is bound throughout his life to e.
member this as his prime obligation, and in private life as much as
in public life so to carry himself that the American people may
never have cause to feel regret that once they placed him at their
