We have heard great deal lately

able that the oldest two people in the
world today are Frau Dutkieyitz and
another old lady named Babavaslika.
The former lives at Posem, in Prus-
sian Poland. and was born on Febru-
airy Fl. 1885. She is therefore one
hundred and twenty-five years old.
The latter, however. is nine months
her senior. having been born In May,
1884.
She is still fairly hale old woman.
and for nearly one hundred years
worked In the fields. Her descendants
number close on 100, and these now
make her Joint allowance. She lives
at the village Of Bavelsko, whose
neighborhood she has never Quilted
during the whole of her long life. She
remembers events which happened at
the beginning of last century much
more clearly than those of the last
40 years.-Dundee Advertiser.

Mr.. Robert Butler of Marlborough,

rience of hearing his death announc-
ed. He was attending the poor law
conference at Exeter when one of
the delegates moved that, in conse-
quence of the death of Mr.. Butler.
which they all regretted, another gen.
tieman, whom he named, should be
appointed to fill his place as one of
the representatives Of Wiltshire on
the central committee. Mr.. Butler
rose from his place on the platform
and announced to the conference,
amid much amusement, that, SO far
as he was aware. he was still alive
and in good health, and would be
pleased to continue in the Office if the
conference desired.

In q recent address:

after all. what does this great wizard
know about souls? His forte is cleo

talks of souls he reminds me frresist-

told how locomotive ID made.
"'You pour she said. q lot of sand
into lot Of boxes. and you throw old
stove lids and things into a furnace.

Into hole in, the sand, and everybody
yells and swears. Then you pour It
out and let It cool and pound It, and
then you put It In thing that bores
holes in 1t. Then you screw It to-
gether. and paint It, and put steam in
1t, and it goes splendidly; and they
take 1t to drafting room and make
a bluep rint of 1t. But one thing for

disappearance OF counterfeits. 1--WE

the party, ''as to the genuineness of
bills that little attention is paid to
them In handling, except as to de-
nomination" To prove his assertion
he took a $40 yellowback from his
pocket, and. holding 1t up, asked who
could tell whose portrait it bore. No
one knew, and by way of coaching
the broker said it was the first treas
urer of the United States. Again no
one knew the name. why, It's

A hearty laugh was occasioned at
the Birmingham police court by q pris-
oner who gave himself away In a very
delightful manner. The man was the
first on the list, and the charge against
him was merely one Of being drunk
and disorderly. He stepped into the
dock. however, just at the moment
when the dock ofiicer was reading out
few Of the cases which were to come
before the court that morning. and .
guilty conscience apparently led him
to mistake these items fer list of his
previous convictions.
He stood passive enough while the
ofncer read out about q dozen drunk
and disorderlies. but when he came to
one "shopbreaking,.' the prisoner ex-
claimed excitedly. ''That was eight
years ago. your honor" Everyone be-
gan to laugh. and the prisoner, really
ing the blunder he had made, at first
looked very black indeed. but finally
saw the humorous side Of the matter.
and broad smile spread over his face.
His blunder did not cost anything

with white drawnwork doilies at each
of the IL covers, were used on an oval
mahogany table. The doilies were
made at Sitka. In the middle of the
table a mirror held tall central vase
of frosted glass. surrounded by four
smaller vases. all filled with white
spring blossoms. The edge of the
mirror was banked with the same
flowers. Four totem poles were placed
on doilies in the angles made by the
runners.
Place cards were water colors of
Alaskan scenery. Abalone shells held
sailed nuts. and tiny Indian baskets
held bonbons. The soup spoons were
Of horn. several of the dishes used
were made by Alaskan Indians, and
the cakes were served on baskets.
The menu was as follows: Poisson

A disagreement about advertising arose
with a weekly" Journal
Following it. an attack on us appeared in
their editorial columns; sneering at the claims
we made particularly regarding Appendicitis.
We replied through the regular papers and
the weekly" thought we hit back rather too
hard and thereupon sued for libel
The advertisement the weekly" attacked
us about claimed that in many cases of appen-
dicitis an operation could be avoided by dis
continuing indigestible food, washing out the
bowels and taking q predigested food Grape
Nuts.
Observe we said MANY cases not all.
Wouldn't that knowledge be . comfort to
those who fear q surgeons knife rs they fear
death?
The weekly" writer said that was lie.
We replied that he was ignorant of the facts
He was put on the stand and compelled to
admit he was not Dr. and had no medical
knowledge of appendicitis and never investi-
gated to find out II the testimonial letters to
our Co. were genuine.

operation was required Grape-Nuts would not

We never claimed that when an operation
was required GrapeNuts would prevent It,
The surgeon testified bacteria rgefmsJ help

grown by undigested food frequently.
We claimed and proved by other famous
experts that undigested food was largely
responsible for appendicitis
We showed by expert testimony that many
cases are healed without knife but by stop
