7 > The Backbone of a Mighty Nation is good food—food for brain, food for brawn, food that is strengthening, that gives energy and courage. Without a proper appreciation of this great fundamental truth no nation can rise ae rae rem to greatness. As an article of food, soda crackers are being used more and more every day, as is attested by the sale of nearly 400,000,000 packages of Uneeda Biscuit, which have come to be recog- nized as the most perfect soda cracker the world has ever known. And so Uneeda Biscuit will soon be on every table at every meal, giving life, health and strength to the American people, thus in very truth becoming the backbone of the nation. | A Queen Anne Mince Pie. NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY HOW TWAIN CHASED GRANT. The Humorist Tells Some Un- published War History. N York, Jan. 8 —The el chien of Mark Terati a 9 of the nember club, @ distinetion which }o ehares with the late Joe Jefforson, was celebrated in the club- housent 16 Gramerey park in alittle literary frolic. It was especially for Mr. Clemens, the man, but they could not resist the temptation of having Mark Twain, the author, read “The Jumping Frog.” On the table in front of Mr. Clemens was @ large rub- ber specimen of that melancholy creature. When he tried to pick {t up, Brander Mathews gleefully pinch- eda little rubber ball concealed some- where about his waistcoat and the frog leaped among the silver There were frogs everywhere, and for the centerpiece little etatutes of Adam sand Eve did duty, looking self- conscious, and gazing in astonish- ment at the figures of every animal that history put in the ark, which stood or lay, as nature demanded, all over the tablecloth. Mr. Clemens referred to an incident in his life which {s now well known, namely, when he was @ volunteer in the Confederate army. He said he loved soldiering and always looked back with immense satisfaction to the time when he chased General Grant across the state of Missouri. * Then he added in a burst of confi- dence: “But Grant was always bebind and I never could catch up with him.” He went on to say the only thing he really was afraid of was rain; that he thought that nearly prevented him from going to war; and that finally after two weeks of the most i dreadful wet weather he couldn’t stand it any longer and resigned.

Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 8.—A heavy rain that has been falling in this vicinity during the last twelve hours turned into snow. The snow continued falling all day, but did not cover the ground. A driving wind carried the snow awayy leaving the wheat and oats unprotected. The weather is growing colder here, and there is no doubt but what the ground will be frozen by morning, which will be a great detriment to the wheat crop. Reports from farmers in this vicin- ity before the blizzard have not been very encouraging—in fact, theindica- tious were that there would be a poor crop in Central Missouri. The blizzard has not helped condi- tians any, and should the ground the wheat crop in Central Missouri.

From a somewhat careful study of the literary characteristics of Abra- ham Lincoln and John Hay, as well as of their respective natural dis- positions, we are led to remark the likeness between these two celebrated men. They were both humorously inclined, Lincoln in his somewhat tude and homely way; Hay in his more cultured style. Each was able to clothe his ideas—always notably permeated with charity—in clear, simple, logical English. On special occasions each rose to heights of classical expression in voicing great shoughts. One mayalmostconclude that Hay was the perfect type of Lincoln’s cruder personality, and that us a disciple of his great leader, with whom he was so closely asso- ciated in his younger formative days, he had consciously or unconsciously imbibed not only his master’s style, but his spirit as well, | Joplin Hotel Brings $104,500.
