FOUGHT HIS WAY TO FREEDOM
Tho Emperor Of Rome Admired the
Courage and Pluck Of
Caractacus.

One of the most unique captives
ever brought home to Rome by julius
Caesar was Caractacus of the early
Britons. This great chief lost every
thing In fighting to drive out the
Romans and was taken prisoner with
his wife and children. When brought
before the Roman emperor, the proud
ruler of the primitive people never
showed the least fear. His arms were
chained. and the emperor roared to
try to brighten Caractacus, but the
brave chief never so much as quaked.
Instead he looked the monarch In the
eye and said:
you fight to gain the whole world
and to make everybody your slaves. |
fought to keep my own land and for
freedom"
The great courage the chief showed
finally touched the heart Of the en-
peror, and the ruler Of the Romans
resolved to see If Caractacus would be
as brave when facing warriors. On
one Of the great holidays in Rome
Caractacus was taken to the great
open-air amphitheater where the popu-
lace gathered. He was told that If he
could defeat the bold knight that
would be sent against him he could go
back to his home. Caractacus fought
as he never did before; for some
thing sweeter than his life was at
stake-that of his wife and children.
Justice seemed to have tempered the
metal of his weapons, and when he
struck the strong armor of his antag-
onist gave way before his fearful
blows. The result was that Caractacus
and his family returned to Britain and
to happiness.

FROM THE EDITOR.
He Forgot That He Had Stomach

Talking of~food, there is probably
no professional man subjected to
greater. more wearing mental strain
than the responsible editor Of a
modern newspaper.
To keep his mental faculties con-
stantly in good working order, the
editor must keep his physical powers
up to the highest rate Of efficiency.
Nothing will so quickly upset the
whole system as badly selected food
and a dlsordered stomach. 1t there
fore follows that he should have
right food, which can be readily as
simulated, and which furnishes true
brain nourishment. 4
my personal experience in the uses
of Grape-Nuts and Postum" writes
Philadelphia editor, 80 exactly
agrees with your advertised claim as
to their merits that any further ex-
position in that direction would seem
to be superffuous. They have bene-
flied me so much, however, during
the five years that 1 have used them
that 1 do not feel justified in with
holding my testimony.
General high living with all
that the expression implies as to a
generous table, brought about indi-
gestion, in my case, with restless
ness at night and lassitude in the
morning, accompanied by various
pains and distressing sensations

"The doctor diagnosed the condi-
ton as 'catarrh of the stomach and
prescribed various medicines. which

as the chief articles of my diet.
ct can conscientiously say, and
wish to say 1t with all the emphasis
possible to the English language,
that they have benefited me as med
icines never did, and more than any
other food that ever came on my
table.
my experience is that the Grape
Nuts food has steadied and strength
ened both brain and nerves to a most
positive degree. How 1t does 1t I
cannot say, but I know that after

rusty, BONEHEAD AND
some errors BEAT
WALLA WALLA
Bears New Pitcher, PittmaD Allow
ing Only Four Hits, Sees Mates
Give Game by Score of to 2.

Local fans are today singing the
praises Of one man Rustemeyer, a tall
pine twirler who delivered the goods
yesterday in style that enabled his
teammates to drub the Walla Walla
Bears by a four TO two score. How
ever. with an due credit to the lanky
HEAVIER, it must be said that the
BuckarOOes did not win the game so
much a. Whites men lost it. And it
was all done in the two halves of a
single inning, too. the fifth of the
nine.
When the Bruin bunch came to
stick in that canto the score stood one
TO one and, although they annexed
another by the aid Of three cOnsecu-
tive hits and one error, they killed
their chances Of rolling up a winning
margin by choice exhibition Of the
headWork that enamates from solid
bone. Then as a fitting counterpart
10 this exhibition, when Garrett's men
had their turn at bat in the same in
ming, Pitcher Pittman's support was
sadly lacking, two errors being re-
sponsibie for as many runs.
Pittman unburlened himself Of a
succession Of battling benders and let
the BuckaroOes down with four hits
II was his first game for the Bears
having just been recruited from North
Yakima, and the brand OF slants which
he had on tap seemed sufficient to
win an ordinary contest.

Story of the Game.

After Walla Walla had been blank
ed in the opening, the Buckarooes
started things to the HIKING of the fans
by putting one over the tally pan in
their half. RAIDER, first up, had his
shoulder blade battered with one of
Pittman's breakers and was given
gratis transportation to the initial
station. Robinson delivered a neat
sacrifice bunt, sending RAIDER to sec
ond, and Lodell followed with the
single necessary to register a score.
He himself landed safe on the third
sack when Martini failed to stop the
ball when it came out to him in the
left garden. a squeeze play was then
attempted but Pittman failed to put
the ball in range of Nadeau's bat and
the big first baseman ran into the
waiting Brown.
The Bears came right back in the
second and balanced the advantage
by scoring a run. Harmon, first up,
promptly singled by way of convinc-
ing Pendleton that he has not lost his
we'll known ability and was sacrificed
to second by Brown. A moment later
Swanson drove out bingle and the
cotton-headed boy rank the bell.
Things passed off quietly then un-
til the fifth when. after Rochon had
gone down, Pittman drove single
over third base. Blackman and Beck
both followed with hits of the scratch
variety. filling the bases. Johnson
laid an easy one down to first which
Lodell, in his haste. fumbled, allowing
Pittman to score. Then came the i'm
mortal boneheaded work which rob-
bed the Bears of any more bacon.
Harmon seized the hickory and laid
the ball down shortstop way. Au-
gustus fielded it and whipped it home
in time to catch Blackman Harmon
reached first safely by virtue of the
fielder's choice. but, instead Of stay
ing there, he deliberately turned and
walked toward the bench and his
coacher, Paul Strand, never interfer-
ed with 80 much as protesting
whisper. Lodell called for the ball
and Of course Mr Harmon was tagged
and duly advised that he was out.
Had it not been for this play, this tale
might have had another ending for
the bases We're full and three hard
siuggers were due at the bat.
With the visitors grouchy because
Of their failure to clean the bases, the
Buckarooes seized the opportunity to
win the game. Mensor struck slow
ball to Blackman who fumbled it just
long enough to allow Jimmie safe

pea for a single over second. sending
