A good old family physician with a lifetime experience in saving people finally found himself sick unto death. Medicines failed, and—but let him tell his own story. “For the first time in my life of sixty-one years I am impelled to pub- licly testify to the value of a largely advertised article and I certainly would not pen these lines except that, what seems to me a direct act of Providence, saved my life and I am impressed that it is a bounden duty to make it known. “For 3 years I kept failing with stomach and liver disordérs until I was reduced 70 Ibs. from my nor-. mal weight. When I got too low to treat myself, 3 of my associate physi- cians advised me to ‘put my house in order,’ for I would be quickly going the way of all mankind. Just about that time I was put on a diet of Grape- Nuts predigested food- Curiously enough it quickly began to build me up, appetite returned, and in 15 days I gained 6 lbs. That started my re- turn to health and really saved my life. “A physician is naturally prejudiced against writing such a letter, but in this case I am willing to declare it from the housetops that the multi- plied thousands who are now suffering as I did can find relief and health as easily_and promptly by Grape-Nuts. If they only knew what to do. Sincerely and Fraternally yours.” Name of this prominent physician furnished by Pos- tum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Look in each package for a copy of the famous little book, “The Road to Wellville.” She waé the only daughter of a re- tireu busiuess man, Wo’ nad once been eminent, He was a young and prosperous lawyer. She was of a mor- bidly poetical temperament'and looked at life always through a prism of sen- timent. He was unimaginative and practical. In a word, each was the complement of the other. “Are you sure, George,” she asked him, sighing, “that you really love me?” “Absolutely, dearest.” “And you will always love me?” “Forever.” He yawned and looked at his watch. They were half expecting a visitor. “I always used to say, dear, that I had told you all about myself—every- thing; that I was keeping nothing back from you. Iam so sorry!” Her eyes grew misty with tears. “I did not “ntend to deceive you. There is one— oly one—event of my life I had never métioned to you.” “Voll, and what is it?” he interrupt- ed a } tle irritably. She sank down on the rug beside him in an attitude of supplication and clasped her arms about his knees. “Did you know, dear, that I once used to write poetry?” “Well, many persons do that. It may be foolish, but it is not wicked.” “And about five years ago, dear, I collected all my poems into a volume and published them. I saw only one review, and that—it was in a paper called The Critic—Oh, George, it was cruel—cruel!” “Tf that is all—” “All! It humiliates me to think of it even now. Think how I suffered! The publicity—the disgrace! ‘These poems,’ he wrote—oh, do not ask me what he said!” “You silly thing! I don’t suppose even a millionth part of the world knew anything about it. Nobody reads reviews of books—except the men who write them.” “I could not regard it so stoically,” she sighed. “I cannot even now. ‘These babblings of incipient imbecil- ity.’ That was one of his phrases.” She shuddered at the recollection of it. Power of Human Eye Yhere is an old saying that any man can subdue a wild animal by merely lcoking into its eyes, and in- teresting stories are told of adven- turous hunters who have put the the- ory to practical test. An African sportsman had a unique experience in attempting to charm an ostrich. Approaching a large ostrich, he gazed fixedly at it, and to his delight the mesmeric glance seemed to meet with immediate success. The bird crouched and flapped its wings nerv- ously. Some hours later, however, the man’s body was found with the ostrich alternately sitting and jumping upon it. Another believer in the human eye experimented on a wild cat confined in a zoological garden. He afterward confessed that but for the wires of the cage his face would have been torn to pieces. A very different story is related of a@ man attached to an African hunting party. Wandering one day from camp, hoe, surprised two cub lions at play, and thoughtlessly commenced to amuse them. He was only too suc- ===—————— — ——— —— ———————_——_=_==—_— How Mackay Won Poo Mackay was an early riser, a hard worker, and, although exceedingly hos- pitable, was himself abstemious and could seldom be induced to play cards for money, and then only for nominal stakes. The only game that seemed to attract him was the “grasshopper races,” with which the mining super- intendents on the Comstock beguiled a portion of the noon hour, while wait- ing for luncheon at the Savage Com- pany hoisting house. Boys caught grasshoppers and sold them to the players at 25 to 50 cents each. Each player paid a fixed stake, ranging from $1 to $20, into the pool, and the man whose hopper made the longest jump captured the pool. On the day before Christmas it was agreed to celebrate that holiday with a pool, the stakes in which were to be $100 for each player. The terms were “play or pay,” and at the instance of a German pro- fessor who was allowed to use any means that he might devise to stimu- late his grasshopper. The professor ' “By Jove! Of course the best of critics are not angels, but yours must have been a—” “A heartless, heartless man!” “If it had been a man’s book—” “He may not have known I was a woman.” “You are too severe. No reviewer criticises a book till he has read the title page.” “But I did not use my name. I wanted to see if they would mistake my work for that of a man. I called it ‘Heart Longings,’ by Samuel Jenk- ins, but all my friends knew, so that really made no difference.” He had grown suddenly thoughtful. Taking the childish, pretty face be- tween his hands, he gazed down into her dreamy blue eyes. “4 “Come to think of it, I remember I have a secret which I have never dis- closed to you. So, after all, we are each as bad as the other.” Ske started and scanned his feat- ures eagerly. “You? A secret, George?” “Only a little one—like yours. I won't keep you in suspense. “We have both been sinners, and’I was the worse of the two. I must tell you, then. Before I was a successful lawyer I was a wicked young dog and did sev- eral scandalous things that I am ashamed of now.” ‘ She caught her breath and waited in an agony of expectation. “They were all of the same descrip- tion, but I am sorry on account of one in particular.” “And that?” “Well, being hard up, I used to earn odd money in all manner of odd ways. I was a flippant, self-satisfied brute, and—” He paused, and, putting an arm about her, drew her closer to him. “I have a heart now, you know I have, sweetheart, don’t you? But once upon a time—you have promised to forgive me and not to hate me—in the days when you published your book I ‘was—” “You—you—were—” “The heartless man who reviewed it!”—Philadelphia Ledger. cessful. The big cubs gamboled fear- lessly about him, and to his dismay refused to desist when he wished to leave them. Realizing the danger to which he would be exposed should the mother appear, he began to run, but the cubs refused to be shaken off, and in their play they scratched his legs in a fear- ful fashion. That the creatures were thoroughly enjoying themselves was evident from their manifestations of delight, and before long their unusual cries brought a lioness leaping to the spot. Trembling in every limb, the man faced the growling animal, while the cubs continued to jump at him, eager for further caresses. The enraged lioness moved round uneasily in a circle, man and beast keeping their eyes fixed steadily on each other. Sev- eral times the lioness crouched to spring, but the man, from fear, never shifted his. gaze. At length, after what seemed an age, when the man was ready to drop from exhaustion, the animal suddenly called her cubs away and disappeared inte the surrounding shrub. J was so full of his scheme to scienti- fically capture the $1,000 pool—for | there were ten entries—that he com- muunicated it to a young assayer who | was not a grasshopper plunger. The professor had experimented and as certained that a grasshopper that was touched by a feather dipped in a weak solution of acqua ammonia would jump for his life. The young man also experimented, and as a result he filled a bottle of the same size and ap- pearance with cyanide of potassium and managed to substiiute it for the other in the professor’s laboratory. The next day, when the professor, after much boasting about his scienti- fie attainments, dipped a feather in the substituted bottle and touched his insect with it, the grasshopper rolled over as dead as a salt mackerel, amid the roars of the crowd.
