FEARED THE SCREECH OWL
Woman Was Not Superstitious, but
She Cut Short Her Visit to
the Country.

I'm not bit superstitious, not in
the least bit, butt don't ever want to
hear another screech owl in the
night said woman who remained in
the country until the holidays. Posi-
lively, | believe I should go mad if
ever heard that blood-curdling sound
again.
you know they say in the country
that il a screech owl comes crying
around the house it's sure sign Of
death. OF course, I've no faith in
that sort of nonsense, but all the same
the coachman's mother died after the
owls first appearance.
"The owl came back and one Of tie
employees died. 1t came back again
and | decided that. after all, didn't
want to spend Christmas in the coun-
try and lighted back to town. The
coachman said something about the
old rule and | just naturally packed
up my buds and bought a ticket for
New York.
"Ugh-h-h! l shiver now whenever
| think Of that owl in the apple tree"

HONEST CONFESSION
A Doctors Talk on Food.

There are no fairer set of men on
earth than the doctors, and when they
find they have been in error they are
usually apt to make honest and manly
admission Of the fact
A case in point is that of practi-
toner, one Of the good old school, who
lives in Texas. His plain, unvarnished
tale needs no dressing up:
Il had always had an intense preju-
dice, which | can now see was unwar-
rantable and unreasonable, against all
muchly advertised foods Hence.
never read line of the many ads of
Grape-Nuts, nor tested the food till
last winter.
While in Corpus Christi for my
health, and visiting my youngest son,
who has four of the ruddiest, health
est little boys I ever saw, I ate my
first dish of Grape-Nuts food for sup
per with my little grandsons.
Il became exceedingly fond of it
and have eaten a package Of it every
week since, and find it a delicious, re-
freshing and Strengthening food, leav-
ing no Ill effectS whatever, causing no
eructations with which / was for
merly much troubled), no sense Of
fullness, nausea, nor distress of stom-
ach in any way.
There is no other food that agrees
with me so well, or sits as lightly or
pleasantly upon my stomach as this
does.

than I have been for 10 years, and

The Same Old Game.

See this subtle Democratic political
philosophy. Now that we are in con-
troll of the House of Representatives
we have got to keep our promise TO
the people and revise the tariff, not
withstanding many of us are protec-
tionists and few of us are prepared
in this extra session to say just how 1t
should be revised, anyway. But, no
matter. Whatever we propose, Pres
ident Taft will veto. That will let us
out OF taking our own medicine. And
then we can go before the country
and claim that We have kept our faith
with the people and have done
our part. and that they would be en-
joying the benefits of tariff reform to-
day, only that Republican president
surrendered to privilege and the in
terests,' as usual and vetoed our
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS designed to lift
from the shoulders of the poor and
oppressed toilers of the land the
staggering weight of an economic
burden that is imposed upon the help
less, hopeless multitude by the damn
able tyranny of the corporate greed
that controls the Republican
party !"
Can't you already hear not the
first confession OF craft and policy
but the last bombast of campaign
rhetoric as it will be fired at you all

troys the dandruif germs and by so
doing removes in short time the cause
Of dandruff, falling hair, itching scalp,
faded and lifeless hair.
Dandruff germs are obstructionists;
they prevent the hair from receiving

Canada Votes Thursday.

The Canadian campaign has been

for its brevity The orators and the
newspapers have worked themselves
into dreadful fury. The monster
Uncle Sam will be mauled and roast
ed to the last moment by the opposi-
ton, one OF whose leading organs, the
Toronto Mail and Empire. prints each
day giant headline, as wide as a
whole page, saying Canada will
decline to be "a SUMMATION of the
United States" In an editorial the
same newspaper frantically declares
that Canada will never become a
''vassal state" and its final appeal is
to down Laurierism and its pact OF
treason
The premier Is going some. too. In
his recent Quebec speeches he pro
claimed that IF the unholy alliance
Of Borden and Bourassa were to pre-
vail. you would have Canada split by
racial and religious dissension, and
the great work OF confederation
would be undone." Taking the views
Of the two sides at their face value,
the Dominion is doomed to early ex-
tinction, whatever the result of the
elections may be. II will become O
"vassal state of this republic II
Laurier wins, II will end in an an

Mansion In Which Aaron Burr courted

There still stands in the Paramus

In Bergen county, N. j., well preserved
and kept, the mansion in which Aaron
Burr courted the beautiful Estelle
Provost, widow of an officer in the
British army. herself an ardent royal
ist during the Revolution.
In the days Of this courtship Burr's
command in the American army was
stationed at White Plains, N. Y, and
he was accustomed to ride from there
to Paramus on horseback TO the WOO
ing Of his ladylove, making the jour
ney to and fro between sunset and
dawn. The mansion, known as 1.-THE
Hermitage" is Of rough stone with
gothic peaks. A picturesque turnsile
admits visitors to the extensive
grounds.
Not far away is the old church, like
wise as 1t was in those perilous and
romantic days, where Burr and the
fair widow, his persistent and arden
wooing having won her, were mar
ried. Adjoining and belonging to this
church is an ancient burying ground,
many of whose moss grown grave
stones have quaint and grotesque In
