OTHERS KNOW US TOO WELL
Easy to Deceive Ourselves, but the
Rest of the World Is Generally
Too Wise.

Senator Pomerene has happy
knack Of driving home statement
with an epigram.
At a luncheon Senator Pomerene
described a would-be litterateur.
Thanks to whisky and strong
cigars he said, "the poor fellow has
failed to make good. He earns a pre-
carious living by newspaper work.
but though he is 80 now, none Of the
wondrous novels and thrilling stories
that he used to pirate about have ap-
peared.
And yet, in his shabby apartment,
over a bottle of cheap liquor and q
box Of cheap cigars, he will boast by
the hour-poor, gray, wrinkled duffer
of his unfinished MSS. oh, they
will appear yet! Yes, he will yet H.
lumine the world with the light Of his
genius"
Senator Pomerene sighed and con-
cluded:
"Ah, II we could deceive others as
easily as we deceive ourselves, what
regulations we'd all have. to be sure!"

OFFICER oUAcKENBusH's STORY

1.-THE finding of Henry Lawrence"
said Detective Quackenbush, "all
knocked to pieces In East Thirty-fifth
street, created a great sensation.
When I saw him at Bellevue hospital
the doctors said he did not have one
chance in a hundred Of recovering, I
never saw, in all my experience as a
policeman, a person who was SO thor
oughly beaten up. Why, there was
not a square inch of his body, which
was not marked in come way, and his
face and head were about twice the
normal size.
"The doctors said that his skull had
been fractured In the frontal region by
blow from some blunt weapon, pre-
sumably slungshot or club; that 1t
would be necessary to trephine the
frontal bone and remove the broken
pieces and splinters which, to all ex-
ternal appearances, had penetrated
the brain. Lawrence, was, of course,
in such condition that he could not
tell anything about the assault. Even
II he recovered the probability was
that he would not be able to give a
connected and reliable story Of the
affair.
"The neighborhood Of East Thirty
9th street was at that time the
stamping ground OF the notorious
Brick Yard Gang, which had among
its members about as many cut
threats and thugs as could be found
in any part of the city. They had
been at work for long time holding
up citizens In the street. Although
many of them were sent away their
places seemed to be steadily filled,
and the gang did not lose its power
Delny Brady, who afterward led the
most successful gang of masked bur
glars that was ever formed In this
city for pillage along the Hudson
river front between here and AL,
bany, was the leader of the gang. He
was about as tough citizen as ever
went unhung
"All the evidence in the case point
ed to robbery as the motive of the
crime. Lawrence's watch and jewelry
which were worth about $1,000, had
been taken and his pockets had been
turned inside out. The whole appear

Built Her Own Home.

Miss Frances Lyon of Westwood has
The distinction of being the only
woman in New England who lives in
house literally built with her own
hands. Miss Lyons belongs to a club
whose members are practicing the doc
trine of going back to the farm. The
club is limited to 40 members and
owns property to the amount of $1,000
and about 70 acres Of farming land not
far from Westwood. Each member
holds deed to one acre and the bal
ance Of the land Is held In common to
be rented to any member who wishes
to try farming on larger scale,

NO MEDICINE
But Change of Food Gave Final Relief.

Most diseases start In the alimen-
tary canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any
of the starchy food we eat-white
bread, pastry, potatoes, oats, ETC.
these things are digested in the small
intestines, and If we eat too much, as
most of us do, the organs that should
digest this kind of food are overcome
by excess of work, so that fermenta.
ton, indigestion, and a long train Of
ails result.
Too much fat also is hard to digest
and this Is changed into acids, sour
stomach, belching gas. and a bloated
heavy feeling.
In these conditions change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders In not only relieving
the distress but In building up Q
strong digestion, clear brain ant
steady nerves. A Wash. woman
writes:

struck him until he quit struggling. I
thought I had fixed him, sure, and to
make things look easy, I ripped off his
watch, diamond ring and pin. This
was to give the idea that the assault
was for the purpose OF robbery. No
one appeared on the block and was
safe. He scarcely breathed. and to
make sure that he would never squeal
