"A woman, wearing a large picture hat, was seated directly in frcnt of an elderly man, who was straining his neck In an endeavor to see what was happening on the stage, and, of course, it was only possible for him to see but one-third of the performance. "The second act had begun, and I could plainly see that h's anser was increasing. At last, when ho could stand it.no longer, he lightly tapped the wbmaa on the shoulder and, In as gen- tones as he possibly coujld muster.

"The woman at the ranch was pre eminently the worst housekeeper I have ever known poor souL and poor me! "I simply had to have food good and Dlenty of it. for I had broken down from overwork and was so weak I could not sit up over one hour at a time. I knew I could not get well un less I secured food I could easily di gest and that would supply the great est amount of nourishment. "One day obtained permission to go through the pantry and see what I could find. Among other things I came across a package of Grape-Nuts which I had heard of but never tried.

I read. the description on the package and be came deeply interested, so then, and there I got a saucer and some cream and tried the' famous food. "It tasted delicious to me and seem ed to freshen and strengthen me great ly, so I stipulated that Grape-Nuts and cream be provided each day instead of other food and I literally lived on Grape-Nuts and cream for two or three months. If you could have seen how fast I pot well It would have pleased and sur prised you. I am now perfectly well and strong again and know exactly how I got well and that was on Grape-Nuts that furnished me a powerful food could digest and make use of.

"It seems to me no brain worker can afford to overlook Grape-Nuts after my experience." Name given by Pos- tum Battle Creek, Mich. Get the miniature boo 1c, "The Road rel In New York as to what constitutes a billion. Some say it is a mousana millions and others that it is a million millions. Most Americans will laugh at the latter contention, but a matter of fact, that is the English system of notation. The United States and France use one system and Eng land another, and this results in some confusion, though such large numbers aro seldom dealt with.

Then the question arises, What Is a trillion? In this country and in France It is a thousand billions, but In England a million bil lions. The English trillion is the same as our qulntlllion, or ten raised to the eighteenth power. To the ordinary citizen these figures mean nothing, but to the scientist and astronomer they are important, and the countries 6hould get together on a common sys tem to save confusion. So far as being an evidence of a na tional levity and lack of seriousness slang is the language of sincerity, de clares Prof. Herman Spencer in a re cent number of Booklovers' Magazine.

It is the result of an instinctive effort to get away as far as possible from everything like pretentiousness. It is the antipodes of pathds. It is the lan- guage of the whole people, because it is expressive of the national sense of humor that Is never so keen as when it contemplates with a joy likewise unutterable the spectacle presented by the fake exposed. It Is blunt, it is crude, it is brutal sometimes, but it Is always sincere. It directs against the citadels of evil the mighty enginery of laughter.

It does for our nascent abuses what the mordant satire of Martial and Juvenal failed to do for decadent Rome. Secretary of War Tart has given the lie In an emphatic manner to an old slander about the American administration of Philippine affairs. In answer to a letter from William C.

The secretary of war speaks from personal knowledge, and his language Is unequivocal. Prince Cupid, delegate from Hawaii, complains In letters home that he Is not receiving proper consideration in Washington. If that Is true, it is too bad; and yet it is almost Impossible to treat a man like tha and with a name like that, as anything else than a joke. And then, again If "Prince Cupid expects continuous consideration would It not be well to conduct himself as a gentleman Instead -of getting arrested for drunkenness and disorderly conduct? It appears that J.

Pierpont Morgan is making a regular business of buying gold bricks in the shape of original manuscripts of great books. The latest successful bunco man has sold that great financier an origin manuscript of Byron's "Corsair" which Is not origi nal. Meanwhile, let us hope that the geulne literary treasurers will remain with those who deserve them and will not go to those who are merely able to buy them. Civilization and humanity are the gainers from the decision of the managers that rag tlmev music should be absolutely barred from all departments of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. Think of a Midway without a ragtime! The obvious benefits of such a relief almost tempt one to endure the discomforts of a visit to the fair for the sake of that blessed peace.

The chair in the cabinet chamber formerly occupied by Elihu Root is undergoing repairs. A strong bottom is being put in, the legs are being braced with cross pieces, and cleats are being nailed across the back. The President Is bound that Secretary Taft shall carry his 300 pounds through the next cabinet meeting without accident. In the often repeated fact that the Japanese tongue contains no profanity may now be seen the wisdom of ty may now be seen the fisdom of Providence. The Japanese have no cause for profanity.

The Russians have, and their language fairly bristles with It. Nature always provides what is absolutely necessary. Modesty is a rare quality in newspaper reporters, but it seldom goes to such an extreme as that noted by the Denver Post, which boasts of a writer so delicate as to write of a fire thus; "After the fire I had done his work, nnrt tb 1 of flame had died awav i rtumvpred that tft hniMin haii 11 been completely Everybody will plant cotton down South this year.

ine lormer Japanese minister to Russia says that Admiral Alexieff, more than any other Russian, is re sponsible for the war. The chances are that he will make up for it by becoming mainly responsible for an early peace, via Japanese victory. It seems strange that the mayor of Chicago, when he heard of the Baltimore fire, did not order all the busi ness stopped until the asbestos curtains had been placed between all the blocks. He could have made even more trouble that way than by closing the theaters. By the way, it Is a servile imitation of the English for us to call Japan "the far East."

A New York woman ran to earth and raptured the murder of her husband atter tne ponce had ven tin th pearth.

F. Rose, of the library board, sent a silver spoon, bearing an engraving of the library, to Mr. Carnegie's little daughter Margaret. The gift pleased Mr. Carnegie that he has sent Mr.

Rose a check for another to be used on the library. This will leave the board in debt but 51.000. Heard Patti. at $5 a Crack. A good many Indianapolis and "Inter-suburban" people paid $5 apiece to hear Madame Patti at the capital the other night.

Patti is sixty-one, and was famous before the civil war, but she still draws her little $5,000 for every concert. Her voice Is said to be wee bit timeworn; it ought to be. Of course everyone has a right to blow his $5 as he pleases, but this seems like spending money foolishly. Easy Marks in Kokomo.
