Mr. and Mrs. Choice had a magnificent Great Dane, a brindle fellow so tall that he could eat off the dinner table without raising his head'an inch above its natural poise. They called him Bowse. Bowse died, and his mistress, frightened by the repeated burglaries in the neighborhood, thought she would not be able to remain In the house alone while her husband was in the city. "I have an idea," said Mr. Choice. "We will have him stuffed and mounted, and stand him near the door, wnere every one who calls can see him. If you go to the door and see a person whom you suspect of being not quite respectable, catch Bowse by the collar, just as if he were alive, and make a show of holding him back from tearing the caller to pieces." And so it was done, and the stuffed Bowse was as effectual as the animated one.

"For many years I was a constant sufferer from indigestion, and nervousness amounting almost to pros tration," writes a Montana man. "My blood was impoverished, the vision was blurred and weak, with moving spots before my eyes. This was a steady daily condition. I grew ill-tempered, and eventually got so nervous I could not keep my books posted, nor handle accounts satisfactorily. I can't describe my sufferings. "Nothing I ate agreed wifh me, till one day, I happened to notice GrapeNuts in a grocery store, and bought a package, out of curiosity to know what it was. "I liked the food from the very first, eating it with cream, and now I buy it by the case and use it daily. I soon found that Grape-Nuts food was supplying brain and nerve force as nothing in the drug line ever had done or could do. "It wasn't long before I was restored to health, comfort and happiness. Through the use of Grape-Nuts food my digestion has been restored, Jay nerves are steady once more, my eyesight is good aga'in, my mental faculties are clear and acute, and I have become so good-natured that my friends are truly astonished at the change.

Joseph Chamberlain is fond of relating an incident that occurred while he and Lord Rosebery were returning from the theatre one night. While crossing the street they were accosted by a ragged boy who, after sweeping the mud from their path, a3ked for alms. Lord Rosebery was about to give the boy a coin when an idea struck him. "My boy," said Rosebery, "if you will hit that policeman a swat I will give you ten shillings." Prompt to the word the boy crept in back of the officer, struck him in the back, then turned and ran, but to the dismay of Rosebery, the officer caught the boy after a chase of a few yards. Not willing to leave the boy in a fix Rosebery tried to fix things up with the officer, but the worthy gentleman would not listen, and took them all three up to the station. They were then taken before the judge of the station, and after surveying them through his glasses, he took down a book and, turning to Chamberlain, asked his name. "Hon. Joseph Chamberlain," was the reply, and the judge smiled. Rosebery responded also with his full title, "Lord Rosebery." The boy was next, and stepping to the front he drew himself up to his full height and waited for the usual question, "Your name?" "My name," said the boy; "well, judge, I'm not the kind as what goes back on me pals. I'm the Duke of Wellington." ? American Home Monthly.

PLATES REMOVED FROM RAILS Serious Disaster Averted on the Pennsylvania Only by Speed Having Been Reduced to About Thirty Miles an Hour. Pittsburg.?The Pennsylvania officials in Pittsburg made an appeal to the county authorities in running down the band of train wreckers who derailed the Keystone Express near Turtle Creek. Rewards aggregating $5500 have been offered by the company for the arrest of the wreckers. The place where the wreck occurred is within the confines of Allegheny '.County, and County Detective George Waggoner at once put four men on the case. At the same time an appeal was made to the Police Department of Diffflhnro- nolrino1 Hatanf iroa ha I lutoum ?) UOIVlUfj (>UUt UbbViVVll VU l/v j>ut at work in the city, where, it is believed, the wreckers are now in aiding. The railroad officials believe this #reck and "that of the Chicago Limited were the work of employes discharged some time ago, and who were known to have made threats against the company. Train No. 20 of the Pennsylvania, known as the Keystone Express, eastbound, was derailed near WilmerdIng, Pa., fourteen miles east of this city. The engine, two mail cars, and ii combination baggage and smoker left the tracks, but no one was hurt. The train was derailed by wreckers, and it is believed that the same persons who wrecked the Chicago Limited at Stewart are responsible for this work. The Pennsylvania officials announced that the company will pay a reward of $2500 for the arrest and conviction of the persons guilty of wrecking the Keystone Express and $2500 for the arrest and conviction of the persons responsible for the derailing of the Chicago Limited. In addition, the company offers $500 for information leading to the arrest of the guilty person or persons. The same plan was carried out and only the slow speed of the train, thirty miles an hour, saved it from turning over and "diving over a steep bank. The work of the wreckers was thorough, for on both the east-bound and west-bound tracks one rail joint was displaced. The displacements were only a few rods apart. Following the derailment the passengers rushed out in their night clothes. When they discovered that there was no immediate danger they returned to the cars. A hasty examination disclosed the fact that the crime had been committed by men so familiar with the signal mechanism that, while the rails had been disconnected, the signals continued to indicate safe. The outside rail held against the grinding of the heavy train and prevented the whole train from plunging over a forty-foot embankment into the river. Near by, on the tracks, were found a track wrench and a pair of gloves, while in the river below were a crowbar, nuts, bolts and fish-plates. . JAMES HENRY SMITH DEAD. Stricken in Kioto While on His Wedding Trip. New York City. ? James Henry Smith, to whom Wall Street had given the name of "Silent Smith,"'died suddenly at Kioto, Japan. The news of his death reached here in a cable dispatch sent by the Duke of Manchester, who was one of the Smith party. Mr. Smith was on his wedding trip with his wife, who was Mrs. William Rhinelander Stewart. Mr. Smith was born in the West fifty-three years ago, and when a boy was taken to London by his uncle. Mr. Smith, whose fortune was estimated at $60,000.000 at the time of his death, inherited most of it from his uncle, George Smith, a pioneer of the West, at one time a partner of Alexander Mitchell and heavily interested in Chicago real estate. Mr. Smith came into this fortune in 1899. CENTRAL OFFICIALS HELD. 1. A. McCormack, A. H. Smith and the ^ ? * ? vuiupuiJ^ nttUMTU ui iuuiLsiau^uici* .

Dead Men Were Known as "Money Finders" and Dug For Xreasorc ac rwgnr. liuskogee, l. T. ^Ia a race riot here, John Cofield, a policeman, was fatally shot just above the heart; Guy Fisher, clerk in a wholesale establishment, was shot through the shoulder; Sam and Elbert Barker and a man named Scott, all negroes* are dead. Two other negroes were badly wounded. Six other desperate negroes are in jail. The negroes belonged to the "United Socialists," established in many Indian Territory towns, and have defied the United States authorities. William Wright, a negro preacher, was the. leader. The members of the gang all live in a sort of a club, where the battle took place. All the members wear badges. Patrolman Cofield went to this house to serve a warrant* on Elbert Barker and was shot down. A riot call was sent to the United States Marshal's office. Deputies Bud Ledbatter, Ernest Hubbard, Paul Williams and Paul Smith responded. "Give Bud Ledbatter hell! remember he kills niggers!" screamed a negro woman. A negro cocked his Winchester, but Ledbatter .was too quick for him. The fight was on. The frmr rlprmties hpsan shnotine at the two Barkers, who were on the porch. One had a Winchester and the other a six - shooter. Both were shot through, but they fell against the side of the house and continued to shoot at the police until their guns were empty. Not a deputy was touched. Two other negroes were shot from the windows of the house. Fifty shots were fired. The negroes killed were riddled with bullets. The 'four deputies emptied . their guns. Ledbatter emptied his Winchester, threw it down, emptied his automatic revolver and then rushed back to headquarters for more ammunition. The negroes killed were known as "money finders,1' because they went aronnd at night and hunted for buried money. MANIACS. FIGHT TO DEATH. Two Negro Inmates at Marslialsea, Pa., Die From a Contest. Pittsburg, Pa.?Two maniacs, both gigantic negroes, and inmates of the City Home at Marshalsea, battled to the death with bare knuckles at that institution and died. The two men were James Jackson, thirty-eight years old, and Albert Henton. thirty years old, both of immense build, and both in the prime of early manhood, physically. The two negroes were preparing to go to their rooms for the night, and were passing each other in a small passageway, when they bumped into each nther. With a crv of race Henton jumped at Jackson and knocked him down on the stone floor. He was on his feet in an instant, however, and the two lunatics were at each other. For almo#. two hours they fought with their bare knuckles, alone in the small passageway, blocking the entrance of the attendants, who, when they were finally attracted by the screams, only gazed on in terror.

We have plenty of money as money is ordinarily used. The trouble is tnat our creaiz is impaired. The business of the Northwest will go on regardless of general . conditions in the main, because the Northwest deals in food, shelter and clothing, which are the things people must have.

I don't care how rich your soil is, if you sow the wind you are bound to reap the whirlwind. But there are other factors in the situation.
