NATION SAVED BY A SPIDER
Scotland Profited by the Lesson the
Insect Taught to Its
Monarch.

Scotland has many legends that the
sheepherders and highland peasants
never get tired repeating. A long time
ago King Bruce ruled over Scotland
before that country became a part of
England, and he learned a lesson from
spider that enabled him to succeed
when otherwise he would nave failed
King Bruce had lost many battles.
He was discouraged. He had made
his final effort against his enemies
and failed to vanquish them Deep in
despair he went to a lonely room in
his castle. Reclining on the couch
and thinking, he happened to notice
a spider drop from the ceiling on
single. Ssilken cord. He watched the
spider fascinatingly. 1t now began its
ascent. 1t slipped. Time and time
again it tried to mount, but each time
1t failed. The king watched intently,
forgetful of all else. An hour passed
Finally the spider succeeded. 1t was
an inspiration for King Bruce. Why
should he get discouraged, having
tried only few times and failed? He
made one last grand rally against his
enemies and routed them, and from
this incident came the old saying, IF
at first you don't succeed try again"

FROM THE EDITOR.
He Forgot That He Had Stomach

Talking of food, there is probably
no professional man subjected to a
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 disordered stomach. 1t there
fore follows that he should have
right food, which can be readily as
simulated, and which furnishes true
brain nourishment.
my personal experience in the use
of Grape-Nuts and Postum" writes
a, Philadelphia editor, $50 exactly
agrees with your advertised claim as
to their merits that any further eX-
position in that direction would seem
to be superf1uous. They have bene-
flied me so much, however, during
the five years that I have used them
that [ 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
during working hours.
''The doctor diagnosed the condi-
ton as 'catarrh of the stomach and
prescribed various medicines, which
did me no good I finally threw
physics to the dogs gave up tea
and coffee and heavy meat dishes,
and adopted Grape-Nuts and Postum
as the chief articles of my diet.
ST can conscientiously say, and l
wish to say it 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 it does it I
cannot say, but I know that after
breakfasting on Grape-Nuts food one
actually forgets he has a stomach,
let alone stomach trouble 1t is, in
my opinion, the most beneficial as
well as the most economical food on
the market, and has absolutely no
rival" Name given by Postum Co.,

CURED in front of the Amalienborg
castle Wednesday. Prince Christian
went out for his customary ride I'M
aware of the death of his father.
When he arrived in the capital from
his residence outside he saw flags fly
ing at half mast and this was his first
intimation of the bitter blow.
Body on Way Home.
Hamburg, Germany, May 17.-Ac-
lcOmpanied by Dowager Queen Louise
and three of her children, the body OF
King Frederick VIII. of Denmark, who
dropped dead in the street here Tues
day night, was shipped for Lubec on
a special funeral train Thursday The
bereaved queen was Frustrated with
grief and was under the care of two
physicians. The entire royal suite was
in mourning and showed evidences OF
deepest grief.
The three royal children who &C
cOmpanied the queen were Prince Gus
tav and Princesses Tagmar and Thyra.
They were inconsolable over the
death of their father and insisted that
tbe private coach in which the coffin
was carried should be strewn with
white roses.
Warship Acts as Escort.
From Lubec the body was carried
ito Travemunde. which is nine miles
north of that city on Neustadt bay.
There it was taken on board the Dan
ish ship Dannebrog, which, conveyed
by a Danish warship, will carry the
remains of the late monarch to Copen-
hagen.
The coffin containing the royal body
was carried from the Hamburger Hof
hotel to the railway station early in
the day as the train was scheduled to
leave at 9 o'clock The hotel was
draped in black and at very early
hour a crowd of curious had gathered
to see the cortege leave for the railway
station The members of the royal
family and the suite were conveyed in
closed carriages. Dowager Queen Lou
Use was dressed entirely in black and
held handkerchief to her face.
Troops Act as Escort.
Frederick's body was conveyed from
the Hamburg Hof hotel to the railway
station with full military honors. A
company of the Seventh Imperial Ger
man infantry had been provided for
an escort and the soldiers were accom-
panied by the regimental band The
troops carried cased colors of the
regiment in honor of the dead. The
streets were lined with solid masses

on duty on examination found that
death had been instantaneous.
There was nothing on the body
which afforded a clue to it's identifi-
cation and it was placed in the mortu-
airy of the hospital.
Find Body in Hospital.
1t was much later in the evening
that the royal suite, which had be-
come anxious owing to the kings abb
sence, heard of the incident that had
occurred on the Goose Market" AS
their inquiries in regard to the king S
movements had up to then proved
fruitless, they, together with the pro-
prietor of the hotel, proceeded to the
hospital to look at the body there, al
though they did not suspect that 1t
was that of his majesty.
On arrival at the hospital they were
confronted by the tragic fact that the
dead man was the king. Arrange
ments were Immediately made for the
body to be conveyed to the hotel,
where it was laid out amid masses OF
flowers.
Life of Frederick VIII.
Frederick VIII. was one of the gen
tlest and most democratic kings of Eu-
rope. Never particularly impressed
with his own Importance as a ruler,
realizing that his throne was sustain
ed by the country's desire for an in
dependent existence and that a mat

excitement or adventure. His earliest
impressions were those of the happy
domestic relations of his father and
mother, who, from poverty which
had forced that father to spend part
of his time as a teacher of drawing
to the children of wealthy people, had
been lifted at one stroke to the an
cient throne of Denmark.
New King Happily Welded.
Christian Charles Frederick Albert
Alexander William, the new king of
Denmark, has lived life that has
been notable for it's domestic happi-
ness rather than for any spectacular
incidents. To the public outside OF
his own country he is known particu-
larly for his happy marriage with
Princess Alexandria, the elder daugh-
ter of the Grand Duchess Anastasia of
Mecklenburgh-Schw
It was a pure love match differing
from the union between royal fami-
lies, which are usually arranged for
political expediency. They were
welded at Cannes on April &c, 1898
and have two sons, Christian Freder-
lex Francis Michael Charles Waldo
mar George, born March II, 1899, now
the crown prince and Knut Christian
Frederick Michael, born July q, 1900
The new queen Of Denmark is just
three months younger than her hus-
band. having been born on December
"a, 1870. King Christian x. was born
at Charlottenlund on September 26,
1870.
The present king is colonel of the
One Hundred and Fourth regiment Of
Prussian Hussars and knight OF
many orders, among them the Golden
Fleece, the Black Eagle, the Elephant,
the Annunciad, St Andrew and the
Seraphim.
How Names Are Chosen.
The repetition of the names Freder-
lex and Christian in the members OF
the royal family of Denmark is not
able. This repetition is due to FAM
lily law which requires that each son
shall bear the name of either Fred
erick Christian or Christian Frederick.
BY the same law the monarchs are
crowned alternately as Frederick or
Christian. Thus the successor of the
present king, whichever of his sons
it may be, will Ike known as Fred
erick TX.
The name Knut or "Canute" reap
pears frequently also in the royal line
of Denmark, being borne by the
younger son of the present king. This
is out of respect for the original King
Canute the Great, who, besides 1nef-
fectually commanding the waters of
the ocean to roll back from his throne,
crossed over to England with host,
gained effective control Of that island
and was named king there subse-
uuent to the death of Edmund Iron
side.

TO F0RDS' Go.
Board of Aldermen Last
Night Vote to Dispose OF
Old Fire Apparatus.
NOT NEEDED HERE NOW
Used by Projections and Gar
fields in Woodbridge
Is Ancient Type.
NOT NEEDED HERE NOW

An old hook and ladder truck
formerly used by Protection Hook &,
Ladder Company, which was held by
Garfield Engine Company for a time
and was recently loaned to the Wood
bridge fire department, was donated
to the Fords Fire Company by the
Board Of Alderman at its meeting
last night. The apparatus was de-
clared to be useless to the local fire
department, which was recently
equipped with modern, new aerial
truck.
The old truck was the last one
without tiller to be used by the
Perth Amboy fire department. The
next one purchased was equipped
with tiller, as has the new aerial
apparatus. 1t was decorated with
signs and taken by Garfield members
to the new Liberty firehouse in
Wayne street several months ago.
Woodbridge sent its truck away TO
be repaired. 1t became involved in
a legal fight and as result the
old apparatus has been in use in that
township for about three months.
The city clerk will instruct the
Woodbridge authorities to turn it
over to the Fords Fire Company.
