I'VE took up Grape-Nuts immediate

TN a day OF two we liked Grape

this was caused by Grape-Nuts and

His Appetite His Undoing.
"A few years ago a man residing In
Brooklyn, N. Y, decided to send his
son to Germany to study. While there
he learned to like beer. His mother
went to see him the third year, just
before he was to start for home. While
in Switzerland, she purchased this
little watch which hold tonight be-
fore you. 1t is beautifully engraved
It reads, From mother to Sidney
"The boy went back to New York.
He wore the watch. But his appetite
for beer grew into an appetite for
the stronger drinks and finally
whiskey drove him from his mothers
side, drove him from his fathers
home. For time he lived with a
sister in Pennsylvania. Whiskey fin
ally drove him from her home. 1t
was while he was in her house beast
ly drunk one night that she took the
watch from him and kept 1t locked
away for ten years.
"One night the boy-as much OF
confirmed, and as low a. drunkard as
have ever seen-landed in st. Louis.
He walked our streets, as low and
miserable as one could be. For nine

nine years fed him, and for nine

ED WAS UNTRUTHFUL.
Mark Twain First Proved II and Then
Dragged About II.

Sam Clemens read more than any one
guessed. At night, propped up in bed
"a habit continued until his death-he
was likely to read until late hour.
He enjoyed smoking at such times and
had made himself a pipe with a large
bowl which stood on the floor and had
a long rubber stem, something like the
Turkish hubble bubble. He liked to
fill the big bowl and smoke at ease
through the entire evening. But some
times the pipe went out, which meant
that he must strike a match and lean
far over to apply 1t, just when he was
most comfortable. Sam Clemens never
liked unnecessary exertion. One night
when the pipe had gone out for the
second time he happened to hear the
young book clerk Brownell, passing
up to his room on the top floor. Sam
called to him.
ED, come here"
Brownell poked his head in the door.
The two were great chums.
"What will you have, SamT he
asked.
"Come in, Ed. Henry's asleep, and
I'm in trouble. | want somebody to
light my pipe"
"Why don't you light it yourself?"
Brownell asked.
81 would, only 1 knew you'd be along
in a few minutes and would do it for
me-"
Brownell scratched match, stopped
down and applied it.
what are you reading, SamT"
"Oh, nothing much-a so called funny
book. One of these days I'll write
funnier book myself"
Brownell laughed.
"No, you won't Sam" he said. you
are too lazy ever to write book"
Years later, in the course Of lecture
which he delivered in Keokuk, Mark
Twain said that he supposed the most
untruthful man in the world lived
right there in Keolzuk and that his
name was Ed Brownell.-Albert Bige-
