On the Level,

In mill in the north of England an old man and his mate were set on to replace q floor in little shop which was used for Il byproduct of the buSi- ness. They had just finished the job and it was getting dark when the old man bethought himself that a floor ought to be level.
 Off lie rushed to borrow spirit level and soon returned. flushed and excited. to see how his floor stood the test.
 He placed <he level on the floor and peered at it. but could not see the bub- ble, as il was too dark in the shop. So. picking the level gently up by both ends. ne carefully carried it to the door and exclaimed Ioyfully to his mate; ''Fair in the middle. lad. The floors as level as a die. ."-Weekly Tel egraph.

Height oi Mountains pariep.

The discovery that the Eiffel tower in Paris varies in height according to the temperature of the air elicits still more remarkable piece of information of the same sort. It appears that Mount Everest, still believed to be the highest mountain In the world, varies in altitude from time to time as much as 500 feet During the daytime the snows will often melt to that extent on the summit of the mountain be- tween sunrise and sunset. On the oth- CT hand, often between sunset and sun. rise the mountain will regain 300 feet In a single light. Therefore the figure given in the geographies of 20,002 feet for Everests altitude is mere rough average. Colonel Burrard, who has made study of the subject, says that the officers of the Indian survey place the mountain somewhere between 2s,- FOO and 29,150 feet in height and de cline to guess any closer.

What He Wanted to Know.

In certain case tried in Missouri where the charge was theft of a watch the evidence Was most conflicting and as the jury retired the judge observed that he would be glad to assist ill the adjustment of any difficulties that might present themselves to the mind of the jury.
 All but one of the jurors had filed out of the box. There was on the face of the one who remained an expression betokening the extremest perpexity.
 Observing this hesitancy, his honor said:
 "Is there any question you'd like to ask mel" ? At this the twelfth jurors face brightened.
 Yes. your honor." was his eager re- sponse. I'd be awful glad if you'd tell me whether the prisoner really stole the watch. Green Bag.

 Awful hats.

 That was ever made to sell, Each with something spikey on it That will make you when you don 1t Fit to fill a padded cell.
 Twisted up and dented down, Shrunken brin and swollen crown. Made of felt and silk and velvet and the fur Of dogs and cats, Oh, the hats, hats. hats, hats Oh. the kinky little. dinlly little, hats! Watch the passing show Of hats,
 BraZen hats,
 Every one enough to stagger
 Even Hottentots or Turks, Aiming to be smart and swagger, With q hatpin like a dagger
 And q lot Of quils like dirks, Color crazy, red and blue,
 Yellow. green and purple, too, Combinations and creations that would clear a house of rats. Oh, the hats hats. hats. hats! Oh, the mad chaotic. idiotc hats!

4 1'iresome Type.

Who makes the best of earthly life, Nor wastes his time complaining That all the days with woe are rife, His idle teardrops raining, May never win to lofty heights By superhuman labors, But since he smiles at fortunes sights Will be loved by his neighbors. We all detest the pessinst. Whose frowns drive cheer away, The sort of man who can't desist From growing day by day; Who never sees the brighter side Of any mortal's lot And when the clods his coffin hide Is speedily forgot.

PALZER STOPS WELLS
IN THE THIRD ROUND
British Heavyweight Champion Proves
No Match for Powerful American
in Terrific Battle.

New York, June 31.-Fighting with
the desperation of despair, with his
hackers hopes nearly dead, Al Palzer
of Iowa knocked out Bombardier Wells,
champion English heavyweight, in the
third round of what was scheduled to
be a ten-round bout at Madison
Square garden on Friday.
1t was terrific battle while 1t
lasted. The seconds of the men were
poised with buckets in hand for the
leap into the ring at the bell which
would close the third round. then the
end came. The English champion was
Keeling before the fierce march Of the
enormous Palzer, futilely dabbing the
face of the American, while Palzer
was steadily sweeping his huge hands
into the Briton's stomach with fearful
Furnishing power.
Once during Wells last stand In the
third, Palzer knocked him kicking
with mighty body smash; always
throughout that final round the Eng
lishman was staggering Occasionally
he CROPPED blindly for the great hulk
that was slowly bearing him down.
Finally Palzer dropped Wells with
-ody punch, and the Englishman lay
stretched out IN the ring, fiat on his
back. He arose once more, and again
the Iowa Behemoth bore down upon
him. swinging wildly with both hands
Wells finally fell again shortly
before the bell.

DOCTORS SHIFT.
Now Gets Along Without It

A physician says: Until last fall I
used to eat meat for my breakfast and
suffered with indigestion until the
meat had passed from the stomach.
Last fall began the use Of Grape
Nuts for breakfast and very soon
found could do without meat, for my
body got all the nourishment neces-
sary from the Grape-Nuts and since
then l have not had any Indigestion
and am feeling better and have In
creased in weight.
"Since finding the benefit I derived
from Grape-Nuts have prescribed the
food for all my patients suffering from
indigestion or overlooking and also
for those recovering from disease
where want food easy to take and
certain to digest and which will not
overtax the stomach.
II always find the results / look for
when l prescribe Grape-Nuts. For
ethical reasons please omit my name"

The reason for the wonderful
dulOuuL Ol- HulIIHeuL, anu the easy
digestion of Grape-Nuts is not hard to
find.
i In the first place, the starchy part
of the wheat and barley goes through
various processes of cooking, to per-
fectly change the starch into dextrose
or grape-sugar, in which state it IS
ready to be easily absorbed by the
blood
The parts in the wheat and barley
which Nature can make use of for re-
building brain and nerve centers are
retained in this remarkable food, and
thus the human body is supplied with
the powerful strength producers, so
easily noticed after one has eaten
Grape-Nuts each day for week or

OARRGN CASE
MAY Be DROPPED
Disorder in Court Causes Rumor
in Attorneys Trial.
PRESS MEMBERS IN THREAT
Judge Hutton is Severely Criticized
for the Manner In Which He Has
Conducted Court Hearing In
Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, Cal, June 29-The
trial of Clarence 8. barrow on
charges of bribing a witness to the
Mcnamara case may be dropped at
any time owing to the disorder that
has been evident in the courtroom al
most every day since the trial began
and the consequent errors that have
cTept into the record.
This startling bit Of news became
known on Wednesday when it was
learned that District Attorney Fred
ericks had held a secret meeting
with prominent members of the bar
and business men and asked their ad-
vice regarding taking such a step.
Judge Hutton, before whom the case
Is being tried, came in for serious
criticism for his manner of conduct
ing the case and in allowing open
laughter and applause from a group
Of Socialists and union men who have
been in almost constant attendance
upon the trial whenever Darrow's at
torneys made telling points.
Judge Hutton summoned one of the
newspaper representatives into cham
bers and threatened to send him to
Jail for contempt if he continued men
tioning disorders in the courtroom,
because he said it. might incite some
one to violence.
At the close of the court, every
one Of the IA reporters covering the
trial went to the judges chambers
and criticized him to his face, declar
ing that they would print the facts
of his conduct of the case without
hesitation
