Gust then one of the home boy
picked one to deep center and wa
almost to second base before the Wis

made a circus catch. The batter came
back to the bench.

exclaimed excitedly, pulling at my
sleeve. Il knew that little shrimp was
no umpire.
What's the matter, honey?' l in
quired.
I" Matter, she repeated with con-
siderable feeling. Didn't you see him
call that runner out, and he was clear
past first base before that fielder
caught the ball.
"That umpire did the same thing
a while ago., she added, but | didn't
say anything about it because 1
thought | might be mistaken. But l
was watching him this time
81 explained to ner that if the
fielder caught the ball the batter was
out regardless of where he was at
the time the catch was made.

CHANGE THE VIBRATION.
 It Makes for Health.

A man tried leaving off meat, po- tatoes, coffee, etc., and adopted ! breakfast of fruit, Grape-Nuts with cream, some crisp toast and cup of Postum.
 His health began to improve at once for the reason that a meat eater will reach a place once in while where his system seems to become clogged and the machinery doesn't work smoothly.
 A change of this kind puts aside food that Is slow to digest and takes up food and drink of the highest val ue, already partly digested and cap- able of being quickly changed into good. rich blood and strong tissue.
 A most valuable feature of Grape Nuts is the natural mineral clements (phosphate of potash, etc.,) grown in the grains from which it is made. These clements are absolutely nece- ssary for the well-balanced rebuild ing of body. brain and nerves,

THOMPSON MAKES
 TRIAL FLIGHTS

Fairview Street Aviator Needs a Stronger Motor for His Tractor Bi-plane. With a new seventy horsepower motor, J. P. Thompson of 266 Fair 1, view street, the youthful aeroplanist who has been striving for the past three years to perfect a tractor bi- plane with which to start exhibition work about the country, thinks he will have attained the goal of his ambi- ton.
 For the past three summers Thonp- son and George Prenitis, his mechanic, have been working diligently at Tyler's field in Plainville on their heavier than-air craft, and this summer they feel gratified to think that they have almost attained success The machine which they have is known as tractor bi-plane and is equipped with a fifty horsepower Inaximotor, but this is not quite powerful enough for their purposes.
 Last Tuesday evening young Thonp- son made a trial flight that was bril- 1iantIy executed. He arose gracefully to a height of about 200 feet and sailed to another field about mile away where he made a perfect land- ing. Last evening he made another attempt, this time taking a circular course 250 feet in the air. He made 8 perfect start and in banking the turns balanced his machine well, but owing to the inability of his motor to suc- cessfully buck the breeze on the last turn he was forced to make a quick landing in rye field.
 Nels J. Nelson, the we'll known ay- iator, has given Thompson much val- uable advice and is frequently at the field to help him in his efforts. Thomp- son has proved that he has ability in the flying game, and he feels sure that if he is enabled to purchase more powerful motor he will be able to start at once around the circuit of fairs, giving exhibition flights. If he falls to secure the motor he will not be daunted, however, but vii lgo back to his former employment with his mechanic until they shall earn enough to purchase the machine they now want.
