Riel had no army competent to with

Fort Garry and escaped into the

THE LITTLE WIDOW
A Mighty Good Sort Of Neighbor to
Have.

"A little widow, neighbor of mine.
persuaded me to try Grape-Nuts when
my stomach was so weak that 1t
would not retain food Of any other
kind" writes a grateful woman, from
San Bernardino Co., Cal.
Il had been ill and confined to my
bed with fever and nervous prostra-
ton for three long months after the
birth Of my second boy. We were in
despair until the little widows advice
brought relief.
Il liked Grape-Nuts food from tho
beginning, and in an incredibly short
time It gave me such strength that
was able to leave my bed and enjoy
my three good meals a day. In 2
months my weight increased from IS
to 119 pounds, my nerves had steadied
down and I felt ready for anything.
My neighbors were amazed to see me
gain so rapidly, and still more so
when they heard that Grape-Nuts
alone had brought the change.
my 4-year-old boy had eczema very
bad last spring and lost his appetite
entirely, which made him cross and
peevish. put him on diet Of Grape
Nuts. which he relished at once. He
improved from the beginning, the &C.
zema disappeared and now he is fat
and rosy. with delightfully."- soft, clear
skin. The Grape-N Nuts diet did it. will
willingly answer all inquiries. Name

land to be had, open for sale and on

better citizenship. Buy, soon build

city to come there will be an opportu-
nifty of living "off the land" and here
in will be a chance of solving the high
cost of living. You will be surprised
to learn how many potatoes, how
much in the vegetable line and what
fine poultry may be grown on just enc

Richard A. Brandt and family, VINO
left Sank county last fall for trip
down the Wisconsin and Mississippi
rivers, have reached Memphis, Ten
nessee. They are travelling in a boat
taken from Mirror lake and the hero
of the Spanish-American war reports
an enjoyable trip. On a card just re-
ceived, Mr.. Brandt writes:
We reached Memphis, Tenn, after
a plet SAINT trip from ST. Louis. The
weather is warm and generally fair;
the thermometer has seldom reached
the freezing point since we left st

ORIGIN OF JURY TRIAL.

Authorities differ as to the orr.
gin of trial by jury and there seems
so much doubt surrounding it as &c
cause the inquirer to turn aside from an
almost hopeless task. However, it will
be of interest to give the result of in
quiries. One authority speaks of its
origin closing itself in the darkness OF
time;" another says it is "a form OF
trial that has been used time out of
mind;" third states that sit was in
troduced into England by the MOI
mans;" and fourth "the Scandina-
vians established the system more
than 1000 years ago." Thus much for
its supposed origin, we now turn to
the authentic.
There is evidence that in the reign
of William theli Conquerer a dispute
arose as to some land which the sheriff
claimed on behalf of the King. A gen.
eral assembly of men of the county
was called and each swore to tell the
truth. They eventually found for the
sheriff. The judge, being dissatisfied
with the verdict, commanded the men
of the county to choose from their num-
Der II who should upon oath confirm
the finding, if they judged it right to
do so. This they did, but history says
these were not Ejurymen. The legal
existence of Jurors was perhaps first re-
corded in Plantagenet times.
At one time jury that could not
agree was placed in durance vile, and
during Queen Elizabeth's reign BAN
quet was usually given TO the jury by
the successful litigant.
