MISCHIEF MAKER
A Surprise in Brooklyn.

An adults food that can save a
baby proves itself to be nourishing and
easily digested and good for big and
little folks. A Brooklyn man says:
when baby was about eleven
months old he began to grow thin and
pale. This was, at first, attributed to
the heat and the fact that his teeth
were coming, but, in reality, the poor
little thing was starving, hIs mothers
milk not being sufficient nourishment.
"One day after he had cried bitterly
for an hour, suggested that my wife
try him on Grape-Nuts. She soaked
two teaspoonfuls in a saucer with a
little sugar and warm milk This baby
ate SO ravenously that she fixed Sec
Ond which he likewise finished.
''It was not many days before he for
got all about being nursed, and has
since lived almost exclusively on
Grape-Nuts. Today the boy is strong
and robust, and as cute a mischief
maker as a thirteen months old baby
is expected to be.
I'VE have put before him other
foods, but he viii have none of them,
evidently preferring to stick to that
which did him SO much goOd-his old
friend GrapeNuts.
use this letter any way you wish,
for my wife and I can never praise
Grape-Nuts enough after the bright
ness it has brought to our household"
Grape-Nuts is not made for a baby
food, but experience with thousands of
babies shows 1t to be among the best,
II not entirely the best I'm use. Being
a scientific preparation of Natures
grains, 1t Is equally effective as body
and brain builder for grown-ups.

are so few they will not dare to at
tack"
At that moment a third Joined the
two and ran with them. They ran
easily, fitting along as lightly as
thistle-down driven by the wind. The
driver arose in his seat and cracked
his whip over the horses heads.
BE careful, Ivan," said the prin-
cess, "do not tire them out. How far
it is yet to Petrovska?"
Twenty versts," he replied, I'VE

| hour, If the horses hold out. 1t was
near here over year ago that Farm

by wolves and devoured. 1 had not
heard of many being seen this year.
The Virgin defend us!"
For at this moment one of the ami.
the most dismal and terrible sound in
nature.
Il beg of your highness not to be"
commenced Hardy, but she laid her
hand on his arm, and whispered:
Listen"
Far in the depths Of the forest an
answering howl was heard, then an
other, farther away and still others,
both up and down the river.
One of the wolves, fitting along
the bank, lifted up his voice, to be in
turn answered by sporadic chorus
! from the forest.
There were now six wolves in
sight, drifting out and in among the
trees like gray ghosts.
Soon one of these tripped lightly
through the snow down the river bank
and trotted along after the sledge on
the ice, like faithful dog.
They show no signs of attacking"
said Hardy.
They are famished," said the prin-
cess, but they are as patient az
death, and as intelligent as humans.
They are too few yet"
A second and third Joined the, two
on the river. while the pack on the
bank steadily grew, and noiselessly,
save for an occasional call into the
deeps for help.
The maid sat motionless, without
looking up or stirring.
Hardy lifted a rifle from the bot
tom of the sledge.
Il could kill one Of them now" he
said, "and perhaps that would scare
them away"

The isvoschik was using all his
strength to keep his horses from ex-
hausting themselves in one wild dash.
Snorting with fear, they were tearing
down the long ribbon of ice at ter
rife speed

on the dome of Greek church, but it
was a conspicuous object and far
away.
A wolf was hanging to the neck Of
one ct the horses. Him Hardy shot,
and, leaning over the curved dash,
discharged his weapon into the body
of another that was clinging to the
other horse.
"Elizabetha," he said, turning to the
princess, his face white but glorihed,
that is the last shot. II there were
but one more, we might reach Petrov-
ska. Here, with Death for a witness,
l tell you that l love you. In the
presence Of Death, there is no rank,
there are no princesses, no merchants.
l love you, dear"
She arose and threw herself on his
breast. For a long minute they stood
thus, clasped in each others arms, lip
to lip, forgetful even of death itself.
The wolves came on again. They
ran snarling up to the rear Of the
Sledge, for the last attack.
Then the little maid, seated on the
floor, arose from her bundle OF furs
and tore the hood from her head. The
rays Of the setting sun were shining
in her face.
Look into my eyes once more" she
cried; "oh, let me look on your face
again-one long, last look!"
Hardy raised his head.
"Aisome! Wang!" he gasped In
wonder and could say no moro.
Farewell, my beloved!" and her
voice sounded like the voice of
priestess, chanting, II give you to her
and to happiness-I, who have loved
you the most!" and she leaped among
the wolves.
A path beaten in the snow Ted up
the river bank, into the outskirts of
Petrovska, and up this the tired
horses dashed, their noble run at an
end.
Several of the wolves followed even
to the top Of the bank, glanced at the
houses and the villagers swafminK
from them, and skunk away. One Of
the horses, his strong heart bursting,
fell dead beside his mate. With Gears
streaming down his cheeks, Hardy
stood erect in the sIedge, holding the
swooning princess in his arms.
THE END.

HIS HANDS CRACKED OPEN

hands were very sore and cracked
open on the insides for over year

morning. They would bleed and the

A Quaint Tract.

A quaint tract entitled "Wos 10
Drunkards." being a sermon By
Samuel Waid. preacher, Of Ipswich,
was printed in London in 1927. The
preacher based his remarks upon
Proverbs xiii, 1892 (''Look not thou
upon the wine when 1t is red," etc.,
and illustrated his arguments by ex-
amples from various parts Of the
kingdom of Gods judgments on
drunkards." Among other instances
he quotes the following one from
Tenby: "At Tenby, in Pembroke
shire, a drunkard being exceedingly
drunke broke himself all to pieces on
an high and steep rock in most feare'
full manner, and yet the occasion and
circumstances of his fall so ridiculous

Splendid Eulogy of Late Senator
John W. Daniel

Born to proud name, reared I'M

and fattered by an extensive con-
nection and an ever increasing
circle OF friends, remarkably hand
some, of superb presence. brilliant
mind and fine education, John W.
Daniel stepped forth into the arena
OF full manhood with his lance
poised for contest. He was Hamp-
den in battle; a Prince Rupert in
debate. He was the most courtly,
graceful and charming debater of
his day, and without doubt Virgin
las greatest orator since the Civil
War. What wonder that Virginia
called hin to her Legislative halls in
the hour of need. Aye! that she
sent him to the nations capital,
there to preserve her glorious rec
ord and write a chapter in her
crown!
He was brave, he was true. Not
impetuous as Henry of Navarro, but
as knightly. as invincible in spirit,
as Charles XII, his star of destiny
never forsook him. Out OF the
! ashes of defeat and the cruel blem-
ishes of war. he wrought sublimely
for home, for State and for country,
and victory crowns the end.

StauntOn Leader: On Thursday

Then the second engine gave
away little further down the road

Vigorous Campaign Planned by
Anti Saloon League

The determination OF the leaders
of the Virginia Anti-Saloon League
to push the State W ide prohibition
question is expressed in a state
ment given out yesterday morning
by Secretary McAlister concerning
a meeting of the executive commit
tee of the league at the leagues
offices in Richmond on Thursday
afternoon. According to this state
ment the fight about to be inaugu-
rated will be the most vigorous
Campaign ever attempted in the
State. .
Regarding the policy of the
League Is was determined to advo-
cate with all possible energy and
methods, the submission of the ques-
ton OF State wide prohibition to the
vote OF the people. This is the
policy laid down by the last State
convention. This policy had its
reflection in the Strobe enabling
act, which the last Legislature re-
fused to pass. There is deep and
widespread indignation throughout
the State at this action of the Legis-
lature, as the question is more
thoroughly apprehended by the
people at large.
Looking toward the next annual
State COZ vention, which is expected
to be the largest aud most enthusiasts
tic ever held in the State, the com
mittee determined that the place o.

Mrs. Tucker Buys at westhampton

Mrs. Tucker Buys at Westhampton
The Richmond Virginian of Satur-
day says:
One Of the features OF the real es-
tate market during the past week
was the purchase OF Mrs. Harry St.
George Tucker of two adjoining lots
il Westhampton on which she pro
poses building a pretty suburban
residence. 1t is not known at this
time whether Mrs. Tucker intends
occupying the dwelling herself or
whether she will erect it for rental
purposes as an investment.
1t is reported, however, that the
wife Of the former candidate for
Governor Of Virginia is thinking Of
changing her residence from Lex
iugton to Richmond and that she
will, in all probability, utilize her
Weshampton home for this purpose.
The report is of especial interest
because OF the current belief in many
quarters that MIR. Tucker will be
found in the senatorial race next
summer against either Martin or
Swanson and many persons suspect
that he could better attend to mis-
political fences with Richmond as
his basis Of operations.
Mrs. Tucker closed the deal il
person several days ago. the agents
in the transaction being the we'll
known firm OF Golsan & Nash. Tn,
two lots acquired by Mrs. Tucker
are located in that sub division o
Westhampton known as College Ter
race. She will begin building oper
atoms in the early spring or per
haps earlier, it is stated.

Some Biting Epigrams

A dispatch from Chicago to the
New York World says:
In the gold room of the Congress
Hotel early Wednesday morning, in
the presence of distinguished din
ner assembly, celebrating Columbus
Day, Vice President James s. Sher-
man uncorked his wrath against the
leader of new pationalism. He
mentioned no names, but what he
said was blistering. Extracts from
his speech are:
I'VE shall progress regardless OF
the harangues of demagogues drunk
with their own conceit.
True virtue does not buster"
1T is the maa behind the gun,
certainly not the explosion, that de-
termines the effectiveness of the
