Grierson ordered me to retire.
ITO retire was difficult, for the enc

the rear. Their fire was redoubled as
we moved again upon the road. In this
stand we lost several men. Much re-

punishment; his Tag was seer to fall

Not Yet.

When some Union soldiers were
scouting in the mountains of western
North Carolina they came to a cabin
in a clearing which might have been
across the sea SO far as its being
disturbed by the war was concerned.
Laziness was in the air. The hogs
slept where they had fallen without
a grunt, a thin claybank mule grazed
round and round in a circle to. save
the effort of walking, and a lean,
lank man, whose garments were the
color Of the mule, dozed in the shade
of a sycamore and let time roll by.
"Howdy do" shouted a soldier
when the man showed signs of life.
"Howdy." came the answer.

HOW MANY OF US
Fall to Select Food Nature Demands
to Ward OF Ailments?

A KY. lady, speaking about food.
says: II was accustomed to eating
all kinds Of ordinary food until, for
some reason. indigestion and nervous
prostration set in.
after l had run down seriously
my attention was called to the neces-
sity Of some change in my diet, and
l discontinued my ordinary breakfast
and began using Grape-Nuts with a
good quantity Of rich cream.
"In a few days my condition
changed in a remarkable way, and ]
began to have a strength that 1 had
never been possessed Of before, a
vigor Of body and q poise OF mind that
amazed me. It was entirely new in
my experience.
MY former attacks Of Indigestion
had been accompanied by heat flashes,
and many times my condition was dis
tressing with blind spells Of dizziness,
rush Of blood to the head and neural
gic pains in the chest.
"Since using Grape=Nuts alone for
breakfast 1 have been free from these
troubles, except at times when I have
INDUCED in rich, greasy foods In guam
tity, then I would be warned by a
pain under the left shoulder blade, and
unless I needed the warning the old
trouble would come back, but when !
finally got to know where these trou-
bles originated / returned to my Grape
Nuts and cream and the pain and dis
turbance left very quickly.
II am now In prime health as a
result Of my use Of Grape-Nuts." Name

Americas Athletic Missionaries.
Writing under the title in Harper's

scribes one athletic triumph at Stock
holm in the Olympic games. Some
idea of the caliber Of the athletes and
the competition can be gained from
the fact that thirteen new Olympic
and nine worlds records were estab-
lished during the games. The victory
of Arnold jackson of Oxford in the
1.5O0-meter run was the only feature
that redeemed England's poor dis

Gentry Shows.

 Animals widely diversified by na- tnre often form queer attachments and find singular affinities when thrown togethes in one aggregation. No where else in the world is this more wildly demonstrated than in the case of ali elephant and a.barn yard Los. con i,: sing a part of the men ageric with Gentry Brothers Greater Shows, which will exhibit in this city Tuesday, October 1.
 When Gentry Brothers-the pio- nears III trained animal shows began their career they had hut little moro than confidence in themselves and their ability as trainers and business mcn. They started with the loWly annals. Iheir first troup numbered nothing morc than few ponies, a 1ew dogs, and two common house cats
 As trainers they became great students of animal nature. From the small beginning they have enlarged and improved their exhibition until now the elephant of India, with his great adversary, the leopard, are found in the menagcrie.
 74 After acdufi,F'ff two elephants years ago their greatest task was to teach them English, and then train them. This was done after long prac- tice and great patience. The pachy- derms from Asia were willing crea- tures. A: they went through their little courses they became quite Amcricanized.
 When the elephants were first in- trcdnced in Gentry Brothers winter quarters the other animals held aloof from them. But after a few months of contact the creatures in that great perfcrm ng family came to know each other
 Casey" the trained pig, became an illseparable companion of King, tne clepudul. Oue udy u dlllcI lo ticed Casey walk deliberately up tc the elephant. The largest of all creatures was lying down.
 After a coupe of grunts, which the elephant returned, the pig got busy With his rough nose he began scratch ing ;ne elephants back, The pachy darm was in his seventh heaven.
 Now whenever "Casey" is unleashet he spends most of his time in tho elephant ring. When tho elephants go for water he goes with them. Whe1 they are fed their bran and oats Casey eats with them. In fact Casey" and king are the stanch est friends around the zoo. Both vii ke hele when Gentry Brothers Shows exhibit II this city October 1.
