The Moodsman's Reason.

Among a party of BosJonians VINO
spent some time in a hunting camp in
Maine were TWO college professors,
says Lippincott's. No sooner had the
learned gentleman arrived than their
attention was attracted by the unus-
ual position of the stove, which was
set on posts about four feet high.
This circumstance afforded one Of
the professors immediate opportunity
to comment upon the knowledge that
woodmen gain by observation.
Now" said he. this man has dis
covered that heat emanating from a
stove strikes the roof, and that the
circulation is so quickened that the
camp is warmed in much less tine
than would be required were the stove
in its regular place on the floor"
But the other professor yentured the
opinion that the stoye-was elevated
to be above the window in order that
cool and pure air could be had at
night.
The host, being of a practical turn,
thought that the stove was set high III
order that a good supply Of green
wood could be placed under it.
After much argument they called tho
guide and asked why the stove was n
such position.
The man gr.nned. well, gents" la
explained, when l brought the stove
up the river I lost most Of the stove
pipe overheard; 50 we had to set the
stove up that way so as to have the
pipe reach through the root"

Every day my establishment grows,

But it will really drive me insane;

But it's getting a horrible strain,
You can see. There one Wiilie-Boy
goes,
With rs trousers upturned, as for

His compleXiCn's like putty or paste,
And his trousers-they give one a
pain.

I am longing tao turn on the hose,
But | have to be very urbane,
For the thing must be nearing a close
She will pick some particular swain
He won't have any get-up or brain,
But his neckties, at least, will be
chaste,
That's about all the good she viii gain
Oh, that girl has remarkable taste.

And I have no more words, now to

A Woman,s letter.

Women. it is generally admitted.
write better letters than men.
M. Marcel Provost has discovered
he reason for this superiority. THE
obvious meaning Is never the one we
should read into a woman's letter.
There is always a yelled meaning.
Woman makes use of a letter just
rs she employs a glance or a smile,
n a way that is carefully thought out,
and with an eye to effect. And. after
all, does a woman's hat serve 70 ove
her head? Does a woman's parasol
keep off the sun? Why, then, should
a woman's letter serve to convey her
real thoughts to the person adj
dressed, just like letters of some
honest grocer, who writes: I send you
ive pounds of Coffee because he
really does send you i've pounds OF
coffee?"

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 a practi-
toner, one of the good old school, who
lives In Texas. His plain, unvarnished
tale needs no dressing up.
81 had always had an intense preju-
dice, which I can now see was unwar-
rantable and unreasonable, against all
muchly advertised foods. Hence, I
never read a line OF the many ads OF
Grape-Nuts, nor tested the food till
last winter.
while Ia Corpus Christi for my
health, and visiting my youngest SON.
who has four Of the ruddiest, healthi-
est little boys I ever saw, I ate my
first dish Of Grape-Nuts food for sup
per with my little grandsons.
II became exceedingly fond Of it
and have eaten a package Of II every
week since, and find It a delicious, re-
freshing and strengthening food, leav-
ing no Ill effects whatever, causing no
~eructations with which I was for
meriy 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.
II am stronger and more active
since I began the use OF Grape-Nuts
than ! have been for 10 years, and
am 10 longer troubled with nausea
