along the streets the Niles kids
stand open mouthed and say 10
each other, soto voce:
That's him."
While playing ball with a few
companions, Harold chased the
ball into the mouth of a sewer.
After recovering the ball, he at
tempted to crawl out, but found
that the thing joints caught in
his clothes, and that he could not
get back.
Progress in that direction be-
ing thwarted he set out in the
other direction believing that he
saw a light, although It was a
blind end. Meanwhile Harold's
playmates, unable to make him
hear their shouts, aroused the
people of the town. Strong men
who shouted Justify at the sewer
entrance failed to make the boy
hear, and he could not be seen.
Finally a hole was dug, a block
away, and apiece of thing
broken. A few seconds later the
head of the lad was poked
through the opening. He was pull
ed out and restored to his dis
tracted parents, who had given
him up for dead.
He declared that he was not
frightened by rats, nor annoyed
by sewer gas.

REPUBLICAN
PARTY SPLIT
NOTHING CAN HEAL BREACH
With Teddy and Taft Fighting on Personal
Grounds for Preferment, There is Little
Hope for Party.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Re
gardless of political affiliations of
the past, many men are going to
the polls in November prepared TO
knife the Republican nominee, be-
cause they are disgusted with
the personal fight being conduct

action will not cure the breach.
The rupture in the q. o. p. re-

Such is frequently the case in
private life as well as in politics
Through some strain, one is
ruptured. In the past it has been
necessary to employ drastic
methods to effect cure and
only until recently has it been
thought possible to effect per-
manent cure in any other way
Now your rupture can be held
securely and with comfort, by the
use of the Krect Truss. This in
vention has cured hundreds. 1t is
no experiment.
We don't ask you to take our
word for this. We are willing to
show you at our expense. Our plan
is to send you without cost, one
of the Trusses. Try it out for a
week. III not entirely satisf actroy,
send il back. We ask no payment
until you are satisfied. That is GER
tainly fair. A two cent stamp will
bring you the belief you have been
seeking. Address the Grand Rap

Street, Grand Rapids, Mich. En-
close this clipping and write
your name and address clearly on

new improvements on the last

most comfortable TO wear. Write
