Douglas park, Salt Lakes nearest

east bench, has been the "Mecca' this
week for investors In residence prop

view of building pretty and substan-
tial houses there and making the addi-

addition has come before the people the
last week stronger than ever. The ex-
tension Of the street car line through
the center of the tract on Ninth South
and thence south on Fifteenth East has
caused lots in the addition to become
more popular than ever. The promoters
of the park have been busy the last
week with prospective buyers, and
salesmen have not stopped for any

over the property in the last few days

Gormly paused, and looked his COM

But what?" said Haldane, Ticking
the ashes from his cigar daintily, and
speculatively watching the blue curl
of smoke that rose languidIy from its
end in the air.
Gormly thought quickly. He was
not now deceived by the well assumed
Indifference of Haldane- He was con-
WINGED that there was something back

MY dear siri" said Haldane gently,
not turning hair before this astound-

the bonds of the Gotham Freight Trac-
ton company are two hundred and
fifty million dollars; that stock for
twice as much more has been issued
and sold and is already at premium;
that it is in the enjoyment of a ninety

Much of what you say is matter

Haldane did not acknowledge the

my experience has been that pub

never very efficacious. If l should

Freight Traction company, the fact
that I had exposed them would be of

"Oh, then, you propose to do your

ness little more apparent than he
imagined possible.

What do you propose?"
1t was a blunt. direct question, and
one unwarranted by the situation.
"Well-'' began the merchant
slowly.

This is most interesting 1 am Gu
rious TO know how you propose to do
it?
THE business that you have built up
is evidence of your capacity in that
line; but you have. 1 take it, never
mingled in Wall street, never dealt
on the exchange?"
Never. 1 didn't mean to, either"
How then do you expect to obtain
control of such a corporation as this,
especially when it has back of 1t the
city government as well as the Sach-
EN- society,"
The question was one Gormly could
have declined to answer without a
moments hesitation without giving
any offense, for it was one that Hal
dane had no right to ask He thought
deeply. if swiftly. and before he spoke.
Haldane continued:
You are, 1 take it. a wealthy man;
but no single man could command the
resources of this corporation; that is,
no single man outside of those few who
are in it, he went on. -and it would
be sheer madness for you to attempt
it,
Mr.. Haldane,' said Gormly. coming
to another conclusion, there is q pow

way one or two things that occur to
me. The first is that as a business
man 1 know that this publicity is more
or less distasteful to you. 1 assume
that 1t will be to the Gotham Freight
Traction company, which. believe, is
a very worthy concern, DESTROYS of
minding it's own business and exploit
ing its own properties / think my
self, viewing the situation impartial
ly, that you have been hardly dealt
with. 1 don't want to see the affair
advance any farther, for the credit
of the community. Suppose we
say FIVE hundred thousand dollars

quickly. rs this a compromise you
are offering?"

Haldane lightly, almost indifferently.

WRONG SORT
Perhaps Plain Old Meat, Potatoes and
Bread May Be Against You
for a Time.

A change to the right kind of food
can lift one from a sick bed. A lady
in Weldon, Ill, says:
Last spring 1 became bed-fast with
severe stomach troubles accompanied
by sick headache. 1 got worse and
worse until 1 became SO low 1 could
scarcely retain any food at all, al
though 1 tried about every kind.
q had become completely discour-
aged, and given up all hope, and
thought 1 was doomed to starve to
death, until one day my husband, try
ing to find something 1 could retain,
brought home some Grape-Nuts.
ITO my surprise the food agreed
with me, digested perfectly and with
out distress 1 began to gain strength
at once. My flesh (Which had been
f1abby), grew frmer, my health i'm
proved in every way and every day,
and in a very few weeks 1 gained 20
pounds in weight.
ct liked Grape-Nuts so well that for
four months 1 ate no other food, and
always felt as well satisfied after eat
ing as if I had sat down to fine ban
quet.
AZ had no return of the miserable
sick stomach nor of the headaches,
that 1 used to have when / ate other
food. 1 am now a well woman, doing
all my own work again, and feel that
life is worth living.
"Grape-Nuts food has been God
send to my family; it surely saved my
life; and my two little boys have
thriven on it wonderfully" Name

Snakes in Prohibition Maine.

Snakes emptied two saloons in Port
land of the crowds of customers few
evenings ago. A nonresident ordered
a box of snakes sent to him from the
south for the purpose of cleaning out
a vast number of rats from his place.
The snakes were given a chance to
deconstrate their rat-killing ability
and the large snake destroyed Is in
a few minutes. The snakes were then
taken to two different saloons and in
a few minutes cleared them of the
crowd.-Kennebec Journal
