Or. WiIey's Forgetfuiness.


If the public does not know that Dr.
Harvey w Wiley, the pure-food expert.
Is one of the most absent-minded men
in the world, all doubt of the fact will
vanish after this story has been read.
The doctor takes his lunch in the
cafe of the National Press club, and
when he lunches he misses no bets.

petite-a remarkable appetite, consid-

One afternoon he finished his meal,
walked into the cloakroom and put
on his hat AS he was going out he
was accosted by friend. who invited
him to lunch with him.
DR.. Wiley hesitated.

Would Not Stray Far.

A travelling clergyman was holding
services at the church in little town
in Maine situated up near the Cana
dian line At the close of his sermon
he offered to pray for any relatives OF
those present who might be in dis
tant lands, and lean, lanky lumber
man rose in the rear of the church and
requested prayer for his brother who
had been missing for over 4yo weeks.

MADE A GOOD ADVERTISEMENT
Row Of Tempting Pies Attracted mu-
sical Students to the Boarding
House Round the Corner.

Pie, the national dish, has been the
subject lately of pure food investiga-

contest, In which the champion pie
belt of the world was won. But still
more recently. in Boston, it was used
as an especially clever advertisement
In a certain kitchen window In a GER

AGAINST a certain court, around three
sides of which lived certain musical
students and other people who dined
At restaurants-in this kitchen win
dow was displayed each day row OF
tempting pies.
The crust was fiakY and deucately
brown. Oozing through fancy little
pricks in It's top was juice so rich and
plentiful that the mouth watered at
the sight. Occasionally a faint pie
odor would float across the court and
drive the restaurant freqnenters wild

kitchen window was pfe-flled Then

PEW WASN'T WHITEWASHED
Lad Saves the Family Reputation by
Dropping His Only Cent in the
Collection Box.

Years ago there was a great meet
ing of certain religious denomina-
ton In Chicago Among many impor-
:ant matters considered by them was
the condition of their benevolent en-
terprises. 1t appeared from carefully
compiled statistics from missions OF
all kinds. that the members OF the
denomination In the northern states
during the preceding year had paid
only 3s cents per capita.
An eloquent and humorous brother
discussed the subject before a large
congregation. He said that the fact
shown by statistics reminded him OF a
rich but penurious man in Wisconsin
who was never known, to contribute
anything either for missions or local
church expenses. He had little boy
who had just donned his first pair of
trousers. and was as proud Of his
pockets as a peacock Is of its tail
The little fellow had noticed that
many people in the church dropped
money into the contribution boxes.
and decided that he would do SO. too.
He became the lordly owner of cent.
c. Sunday his father and mother
too Kim to church. AS usual. a col
lection was taken, but neither of his
parents gave anything.
The boy became excited. jumped off
the seat. and ran his hand down into
one of his precious pockets. got hold
Of the only cent he had. and proudly
dropped it into the contribution box.
As the collector passed to the next
he heard the little boy say to his
father:
Well, II It hadn't been for me, this
pew would have been whitewashed

weigh one and half pounds, and

of the foodmakers known of yore But
there is an observable difference be-
tween the olden and the modern
methods of dealing with the evils. In
federal, state and municipal Offices is

The mileage of the blood circulation
reveals some astonishing facts. 1t has
lust been calculated for instance that
assuming the heart to beat sixty nine

the blood goes at the rate of 206 yards
in a minute, or nine miles an hour. 227
miles day and $4,000 miles year.

WHEN MISSISSIPPI WAS LOW
eteambost Captain Who ones Wadsd
Ahead to Find the Most
Likely Channel.

Steamboat men who have been con-
tending with low water in the upper
Mississippi river the past summer
should consult with the more ancient
mariners In the Mississippi for point
ers on the movement Of boats on low
water and then start out to restore
navigation on the stream.
Capt. William Kelly, secretary OF
the Mississippi and Ohio River Pilots
society, says this Is the first season
since 1856 to his personal knowledge
that steamboats, have ceased to run
during the open season.
In the summer of 1856, Mr.. Kelly
says. he was plotting the steamer
Stella Whipple when the water was
four inches lower than 1t is now. The
boat was towing two barges down
the stream. but got stuck on the
crossing at Robinson's rocks, IA miles
below St Paul
the river ahead of the boat to locate
the best place to drop anchor and pull
the boat over the bar. The water
was ten inches deep, and the best
channel was located by wading, and
Captain Kelly returned to the boat
without wetting a stitch of his cloth
ing.
The method of pulling the boats
over shoal crossings was to carry the
anchor out In a yawl ahead of the
steamer. drop 1t to the bottom OF the
river and pull the boat over by a line
attached to the anchor and to the cap
stan of the boat
When all was ready the passengers
were transferred to the barges to
tighten the boat The run was then
made without difficulty till the next
crossing as reached, when the
anchor and capstan process Of pull
ing the boat over might be repeated

Sam DutiODs Eggs Becoming
Famous

Sam Dutton, who has made Denver
famous, not only has all the electro
motors have ever invented eclipsed
when it comes to creative energy put
is also another Edison inventive genus.
Not satisfied with having devised one
of the greatest hotel erouhd
floors in the West, Sam is constantly
striving for some new effect or feature
that will adj to the attractiveness or
appeal to the stomachs of the q lDany S
patrons Sans latest idea is directed
towards tempting the jaded aPpeutes
of his guests when they reach tie
breakfast table after a late session
spent in his fountain or Oriental room,
soothed by dreamy melodies the night
previous Finding that Force and
other light breakfast foods would not
attract the -too-strong digestive
organs, especially of his male guests,
Sam, in his quest for something that
wonld.be light and novel, not to say
soothing to the morning stomach, DIS
covered that almost within the town
limits of Denver. was conducted one OF
the finest henneries in the country.
The owner operated nothing but the
finest imported White Leghorns and
the eggs were consequently uniform in
size aud whiteuess. This was quite
satisfactory to Sam, provided the own
er would make such alterations in the
food of the fowl as would give the egg
product the individual taste he de-
sired in his new experiment.
Sans contract, made at q price
that would startle even the Waldorf
Astoria was for the delivery on the
morning of each day only such eggs as
had been laid the day previous. The
contract had also stipulated that Miss
Leghorn should be fed only such food
as was provided by the proprietor of
the Albany. This was agreed to and
the result has beer marvellous. Now
guest suffering with an overworked
stomach may secure an egg with a
dash of Red Raven Splits. a lemon,
favor, or if he has sour stomach. he
may secure his eggs cooked in any par
ucular style with the delicate taste of
vanilla, strawberry, orange or other
preferred seasoning. So well has Sam 5
scheme worked that it is not necessary
for the guests to salt and pepper their
food for the eyes are already provided
with the natural seasoning
In addition to having made himself
the Luther Burbank of the poultry
world, the proprietor of the Albany has
also developed some fifteen new ways
of serving his specially laid product
For instance, poached eggs al'Albany a
means that they arr served cold in a
chatting and the degree of softness
is therefore at all times under the con
troll of the guests themselves. As re
suit of the new departure the break
fast rooms which had been often light
~ patronized in the morning probably
due to the rare entertainment provided
the evening previous are now taxed to
their capacity and the ingenious Sam
claims that before long he will not only
have the exact flavor desired in his hen
food but no egg viii be served on the
table which is more than an hour old.

A TRUE COURTESY.

It is the truest courtesy to adver-
tise. 1t is a polite invitation for
people to come to your store and
see you as we'll as your goods. It
is a guarantee of fair and polite
treatment to all who come. Every
one likes the polite and cordial
person. Now this courtesy gets the
people to your store. You should
stand by your promises in the adj
vertisement or you will get the
name of one who knowingly mis-
represents for the purpose OF de-
ceiving people. That is ruin to a
merchant. No man can make a
better investment than to advertise,
and do it intelligently in good
medium, and then faithfully stand
by everything he promises to do.
