St.; NewTorkCity WAT A Bargain in Horseflesh. The average citizen who wishes to purchase a horse for business pur poses generally patronizes a gyp es tablishment or the cheap auction ba; zaar. An" individual visited one of the latter places on Saturday and now imagines he stru?-k a real bargain! The animal he purchased was de scribed by the auctioneer In the fol lowing terms: "This horse, gentlemen; is the property of a private party go ing abroad, warranted wind and work, good eyes, no cribber, a dead down puller, cannot hook him wrong, kind in all kinds of harness, has plenty of spirit, won't run away and will be sold for the high dollar. New, what am I offered for this magnificent, piece of horseflesh? 1200, bid? $100, am I off erect? Come, men, start him; he's got to be sold." The greeny of fered $4, and as the price waa not adf vanced he got the trotter. "When last seen he was gulling him up Broad street by the halter. Some one in the crowd stated that the officers at the Zoo would not give $2 for the horse to feed it to the animals. Drummer Boy's Romance. "I was a drummer boy in Sherman's anny," said L. J.'

Philadelpha, Special.--That rates are fixed by the "traffic association" composed of various coal-carrying railroads was thc admission drawn from railroad officials at the final hearing of the inter-State commerce commissioner's investigation into the alleged abuses of the coal trade. Thro' Joseph G. Searles, coal traffic mana ger of the Peniislyvanin Railroad Company, who is chairman of thc All-Rail Traffic Association, it was learned that this organization not only fixes thc percentage of tonnage alloted lo each railroad, but also es tablishes the rales. Counsel for the commission produced the minutes of a meeting of the Tidewater Bitumi nous Steam Coal Traffic Association held on September 19, 1900. tho records showed that a resolution of J fered by the Norfolk & Western j company permitted that company and the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad to carry tidewater coal at the rate of $1.25 a ton was voted down and that the'rate was fixed afc $1.40 a ton on Mr. Searle's resolution. At thc meeting of the Norfolk & Western Railroad complained that their in terests wore being injured by dif ferentials in freight rates. Establishment of Rates. M-r. Searles admitted that there had been an agreement as to the ton nage to be allowed each road and that if one road shipped more and another less a settlement was made, rle said that there had been no set tlements *ince 1S90. lu explaining the establishment of rates Mr. Searles stated that each company fixed ils price which was later agreed lo by the members of the association. If any company should reduce the rate he said it would demoralize thc gen eral situation; Mr. Searles. denied that there was an understanding lo maintain r.ites between all-rail and all-water associations for the purpose of preventing competition. It was shown by the records that the rates on soft coal were increased in 1900. Since then lhere has been no chango. Mr. Searles denied also that the pur pose of these rates was lo stop com petition.

John Alexander Dowic denies that he will compromise his differences with Overseer Yoliva. His attorneys say he will. Voliva would make no direct statement. Rise Liars, Ho, All Ye ? A Young Girl said to a ( One Statement as This burst of true American girl in dignation was caused by the teachei saying that Grape-Nuts, the populai pre-digested food, was made of stale bread shipped In and sweetened. The teacher colored up and chang?e the subject. There ls quite an assortment of trav ellng and s^ay-at-horne members of th( :rlbe of Ananias who tell their false hoods for a variety of reasons. In the spring It is the custom on i cattle ranch to have a "round-up," ant brand the cattle, so we are going t< have a "round-up." and brand tbes< cattle and place them in their prope] pastures. FIRST PASTURE. Cooking school teachers-this In cludes "teachers" who have applied to us for a weekly pay if they would say "something nice" about Grape Nuts and Postum, and when we have declined to hire them to do this they get' waspy aud show their true colors. This also Includes "demonstra tors" and "lecturers" scut out by a certain Sanitarium to sell foods made there, and these people In structed by the small-be-whiskered doctor-the head of the institution -to tell these prevarications (you can speak the stronger word if you like). This same little doctor con ducts a small magazine In which there Is a department of "answers to correspondents," many of the questions as weil as the answers being written by the aforesaid doc tor. In this column some time ago ap peared the statement: "No, we can not recommend the use of Grape Nuts, for it. Is nothing but bread with glucose poured over it." Right theu he showed his badge as a mem ber of the tribe of Ananias. He may have beeu a member for some time before, and so he has caused these "lecturers" to descend into the ways of the tribe wherever they go. When the young- lady In New York put the- "iron on" to this "teacher" and branded her right we sent $10.00 to the girl for her pluck and bravery. SECOND PASTURE. Editors of "Trade" papers known ns grocers' papers. Remember, we don't put the brand on all, by any means. Only those that require it. These members of (he tribe have demanded that we carry advertising lu their papers and when we do not consider lt ad visable they Institute a campaign ( of vituperation aud slander, printing from time to time manufactured slurs ou Postum or Grape-Nuts. When they go far enough we set our legal force at work and hale them to the Judge to answer. If the pnce has been hot enough to throw some of these "cattle" over on their backs, feet tied aud "bellow iug," do you think we st^uld be blamed? They gambol around with tails held high and Jump stiff leg ged with a very "cocky" air while they have full range, but when the ropo Is thrown over them "it's dif ferent." Should wo untie them because they bleat soft and low? Or should we put the iron on, so that peop:e will know the braud? Let's keep them in this pasture, anyhow. Grape? Industrial Notes. Information has been given out that Mayor' Johnson, of Raleigh,, will urg ?ntly recommend the issuance of $100, 3p0 in bonds for street improvements* Mayor Johnson is reported to haye said that this is the only practical way to improve the streets. Bales of cotton worth $1,200 were destroyed by fire at Haw River. The cotton belonged to the Holt-Granite H?ls. A Sharp Scheme. The Loudon milkmen have a cow whose function corresponds to the "Sitzredakteur," prison editor of the German press. When a milkman is i arrested for selling below legal grade he is entitled to summon his cow in his defense and have her milked be fore the judge, und so prove that thc poor milk was the cow's fault. Many milkmen have evaded fines in this way of late, and recently it was dis discovered that there was one cow which was famous for her bad milk, Bits of Brightness. A Woman never feels she is doing her duty unless she brags about the good traits of her husband just as if he had them.

If these is a bumper wheat crop in the country the average man tries to make out that his brains has some thing to do with it. id Salute Y Faithful Follow booking School Teacher in False as That, AU You hav is Absolutely Unreliable." c THIRD PASTURE. Now we come to a frisky lot. the > "Labor Union" editors. You know down ia Texas a weed called "Loco" 1 ls sometimes eaten by a steer and produces a derangement of the ? brain that makes the steer "batty" i or crazy. Many of these editors I are "Locoed" from hate of anyone who will not Instantly obey the "demands" of a labor union, and it is tho universal habit of such writ ers to go straight Into a system of personal vilification, manufacturing any sort of falsehood through which to vent their spleen. We assert that. the common citizen hat a right to live and breathe air without asking permission of the labor trust, -and this has brought down on us the hate of these editors. When they go far enough with their libels, is it harsh for us to get judgment against them and have our lawyers watch for a chance to attach money due them from others? (For they are usually Irresponsible). Keep your eye out for the "Lo coed" editor.

Then the ma chines make selection of the prope quantities of this flour in the prope proportion and these parts are bleudei into a general flour which passes ove to the big dough mixing machines, ther water, salt and a little yeast are adda and the dough kneaded the prope length of time. Remember that previous to the bai ley having been ground lt was passe through about one hundred hours o soaking in water, then placed on wart floors and slightly sprouted, developln the diastase in the barley, whlci changes the starch in the grain into form of sugar. Now after we have passed it Int dough and lt has been kneaded lon enough, lt is moulded by machiner luto loaves about IS inches long and or 0 inches In diameter. It is put int this shape for convenience lu secon cooking. These great loaves are sliced by mt chlnery and the slices placed on wir trays, these trays, in turn, placed o great steel trucks, and rolled into th secondary ovens, each perhaps 75 or 8 feet long. There the food issubjecte to a long, low heat and the stare which has not been heretofore tram formed, is turned into a form of suga generally known as Post Sugar. It ca be seen glistening on the granules c Grape-Nuts if held toward the Ugh and this sugar is not poured over o put on the food ns these prevaricator Ignorantly assert On the contrary th sugar exudes from the inferior of enc little granule during the process c manufacture, and reminds one of th little white nartieles.of sugar that com out on the end of a hickory log af te it has been sawed off and allowed t stand for a length of time. This Post Sugar ls the most, digest ble food known fer human use.
