CHURCH HONORS ITS MINISTER Union Baptist Gives Rev. Dr Lawrence Grand Reception. WHAT HE HAS ACCOMPLISHED Well Known Clergyman, Who Has Achieved Success in Many Fields, Is Feasted and Presented With Large Purse Before Going on Extended Trip South—Called Sunday School Pastor. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The testimonial reception given by the Union Baptist church, Orange, N. J. on Thursday evening, Sept. 1, in honor of its esteemed pastor, the Rev. William P. Lawrence, Ph. D., was in every way commensurate with the high character of the man and the services which he is rendering the people of his church and the community. Dr. Lawrence accepted the call of the Union Baptist church three years and a half ago. He was then pastoring in Elizabeth, where for six years he had met with marked success. As a pastor he has had a wide experience. Among the ministers of the New England Baptist missionary convention his advice in matters which require the most careful and thorough investigation is eagerly sought and relied upon by men many years his senior in the ministry. Dr. Lawrence may be justly called a Sunday school pastor. He is not only interested in the school of his own church, but in Sunday school work generally. He has successfully led the Sunday school forces of the Baptist denomination in New Jersey for the past nine years as president of the state Sunday school convention. During his three years' pastorate at the Union Baptist church Dr. Lawrence has added 510 persons to its membership, put in new pews, a large pipe organ and a new lighting plant. These improvements are paid for. In addition to the above, a new parsonage has been bought, upon which REV. W. P. LAWRENCE, PH.D. $1,100 has been paid, besides reducing the principal debt on the church at the rate of $700 a year. The total sum raised by Dr. Lawrence and his church for the three years amounts to over $15,000. The church has a membership of about 915. The morning congregation and the Bible school are more largely attended than those of any other church in the state. Dr. Lawrence will leave within a few days for New Orleans, where he will attend the annual meeting of the national Baptist convention, which convenes on Wednesday, Sept. 14. The literary program, which was presided over by the Rev. George E. Morris, D. D., of Morristown, N. J., was both interesting and instructive. The address of welcome was made by W. H. Corbin, president of the board of trustees. "What I Saw and Heard in Europe" was the subject of a most timely address by the Rev. Dr. J. C. Love, pastor of the Union Baptist church, Montclair, N. J., who has recently returned from an extended trip abroad. Other speakers and their subjects were Rev. M. W. Vaughan of Plainfield, subject, "Dr. Lawrence as a State and National Worker"; Rev. R. L. Harris of Hackensack, subject, "Dr. Lawrence as a Pastor and Leader"; Rev. J. C. Dunn, pastor of St. John's M. E. church, Orange, subject, "Dr. Lawrence as Viewed by Other Demonstrations."

The official figures showing that during the calendar year 1909 the expenditures in the United States for building operations aggregated about a billion dollars, surpassing the record of 1906 by ten 10 cent, not only prove how completely the country had recovered from the "panic" of 1907 but indicate that the people have made a fresh start in prosperity.

Great Season for Oats Fort Dodge—Among the big yields of oats on farms near Fort Dodge is that reported by Cornell Larson, whose farm is near Roselay. He declares that forty acres yielded 2,000 bushels of grain this summer. This section of the state is experiencing the best yield of small grain in fifteen years. Moses Eidahl reports a yield of 5,400 bushels of oats on a 125 acre farm. Corn in this section has had plenty of rain, which, with the fine weather, has sent the oats to the height of 10 feet. The oats have not grown as rapidly and need four or five weeks of hot weather to mature them. A bumper corn crop is looked for. Because of the drought early in the summer, hay has yielded about a half crop. Much old hay still remains in the farmers' fields and no fear of a shortage is held. Waterloo Man a Flaming Torch. Waterloo...While repairing a locomotive at the Illinois Central shops, a torch ignited the greasy clothing worn by J. Lyons. He ran from the round house a human torch, with the other employees after him. After running a block they overtook him and threw him into a cinder pit, where the flames were smothered. He was badly burned, but will survive. Old Settlers at Clinton. Clinton...The report of President Virgil L. Landis, the annual picnic of the Clinton County State and Territorial Pioneers, shows that about 100 people who were eligible to membership in the association, by reason of age and duration of residence in the county, passed away during the past twelve months. Sheriff Beaten Up by Jail Breakers Onawa—Beating Sheriff Ed Rawlings into insensibility and throwing him gagged and bleeding onto a bunk, three prisoners charged with burglary broke from the Monona county jail. But they were soon captured Small Fortune on Person. Clinton—In searching the pockets of Myron O'Meara, who was found in a Clinton salon evidently the victim of an assault, the police found $1,072 in cash and more than $5,000 in certificates of deposit. Big Oats Crop in Hardin. Eldora—The oat crop in Hardin county is the best for many years and many farmers who are now busily engaged in thrashing report as high a yield as 60 to 75 bushels to the acre. The quality is very good and the cereal is heavy. Royal Neighbors Organize Glenwood—The women of the town of Henderson, this county, have organised a camp of the Royal Neighbors of America. The charter members number 23. Over 200 Cases of Infantile Paralysis Twenty-three new cases and five deaths from infantile paralysis were reported to the state board of health Monday. This brings the total number of cases in the state at the pres- ent time somewhat down. We are familiar with families that the physi- calia and health boards have as yet been unable to cope with the disease. The total number of deaths is 40. Every effort is being made by those in charge of the work of preventing the spread of the disease to check the epidemic, but with little success. Dr. Wade H. Frost, the government expert, has been sent to Guthrie Center, where an outbreak has occurred. He is still hopeful of being able to get the disease well in hand before the cold weather sets in. Mrs. French Lived in Iowa. Burlington.-Mrs. Lillah Hobart French, who died August Heinz, preside, preside, for the recovery of $25,000 in Silver King Coalition curtails, is a native of Quawka, Ill., and made her home in this city for several years. Her father, Napoleon Beading, still resides here and at one time her brother was employed at the Davenport restaurant on South Main street. Mrs. French obtained a divorce from her husband, P. F. French, in the Dos Moines county district court in 1908. W. C. T. U.

To Finish Big Mansion Davenport—Judge J. W. Bollinger of the district court has signed an order authorizing the estate of W. P. Bettendorf, the steel car king, who died here recently, to expend $135,000 completing the residence which Mr. Bettendorf had under construction at the time of his death, on the Mississippi river bluffs overlooking the immense shops that he had created. It is the largest order of the kind ever signed by a court in Iowa. Choral Union Elects Officers Marshalltown.—At the annual sangerfest of the Fortress Choral union an organization of a dozen Norwegian Lutheran choirs of central Iowa, Rev. C. H. Hörtholm of Ellsworth, was elected president; Rev. H. J. Holman of Slater, vice president; Miss Sarah Austed of Slater, secretary; E. G. Fardal of Stanhope, treasurer.

Monticello-On Aug. 31, 1910, Mr. and Mrs. John Crickst of Wyoming, were married sixty years. Mrs. Crickst is 86 years old, while her husband is eight years older. ON THE FARM Farm produce today is remunerative, and this helps to make farm life agreeable. Those who are studying the economics of the day tell us that the strength of the nation lies in the cultivation of the soil. Farming is no longer a hand-to-mouth existence. It means independence, often influence, but certainly independence. Calling at a farm house, near one of the numerous thriving towns, of Alberta, in Western Canada, the writer was given a definition of "independence" that was accepted as quite original. The broad acres of the farmer's land had a crop—and a splendid one, too, by the way—ripening for the reapers' work. The evenness of the crop, covering field after field, attracted attention, as did also the neatness of the surroundings, the well-built substantial story and a half log house, and the well-rounded sides of the cattle. His broken English—he was a French Canadian—was easily understandable and pleasant to listen to. He had come there from Montreal a year ago, had paid $20 an acre for the 320-acre farm, with the little improvement it had. He had never farmed before, yet his crop was excellent, giving evidence as to the quality of the soil, and the good judgment that had been in the good farm. And brains count in farming as well as "braw." Asked if he liked it there, he stressed his broken farm, with hands outstretched towards the waving fields of grain, this young French Canadian, model of symmetrical build, replied: "Beog sym, we, like him—the farmin—well, don't we, Jeannette?" as he smilingly turned to the young wife standing near. She had accompanied him from Montreal to his farthest home, to assist him by her wifely help and companionship, in making a new home in this new land. "Yes, we come here won year ago, and we never knew him," he said. "My father, he keep de gris' mill, an' dacin' mall, an' be gohst he run de cheese factor" too. He work, an' work, an' us work horn har', be gohst us work for de farmer; well, den', sometin' go not always wat you call RANG THE BELL, ALL RIGHT Extreme of Yield of Wheat in Western Canada for 1910 More. That Owe Hundred Million Bushels. de' right, an d de farmer he say de' mean 'ing, be gosh! and tell us go to—well, anyway he tarn mad. Now," and then he waved his hand again towards the fields, 'Iave no bodder, no cardin' mill, no gris mill, no cheese factor. I am now de farmer man an I am now de farmer man an I am now de farmer fellow! you go—! Well we like him—the farinm". And that was a good definition of independence. Throughout a trip of several hundred miles in the agricultural district of Western Canada, the writer found the farmers in excellent spirits, an optimistic feeling, being prevalent everywhere. It will be interesting to the thousands on the American side of the line to know that their relatives and friends are doing well there, that they have made their home in a country that stands up so splendidly under what has been trying conditions in most of the northwestern part of the farming districts of the continent. With the exception of some portions of the central valley, the portion of Manitoba and Southern katchawan the grain crops could be described as fair, good and excellent. The same drought that affected North and South Dakota, Montana, Minnesota, Wisconsin and other of the northern central states extended over into a portion of Canada just mentioned. But in these portions the crops, for the past four or five years were splendid and the yields good. The great province of Saskatchewan has suffered less from drought in proportion to her area under cultivation than either of the other provinces. On the other hand, instead of the drought being confined very largely to the south of the main line of the C. P. R. P. it has been drained through the center of northern Saskatchewan also. In spite of this, however, Saskatchewan has a splendid crop. A careful checking of the averages of yield, with the acreages in the different districts, gives an average yield of 15% bushels to the acre. In Southern Alberta one-fifth of the winter wheat will not be cut, or has Serving Two Masters. "Can a man serve two masters?" exclaimed John M. Califahan, candidate for the Democratic nomination for secretary of state, at a meeting in Eagles' hall the other night. "I say he cannot, and that reminds me of the answer I got from an Irish friend of mine when I asked him the same question. "Kin a man serve two masters, is ut," says my Irish friend. "Ol only known wan man that could do out, and in the ind they sent him to sait fer bigamy!"—Milwaukee Wisconsin. been re-sown to feed. There are individual crops which will run as high as 45 bushels on acres of 500 and 1,000 acres, but there are others which will drop a low as 15. A safe average for winter wheat will be bushels. The average for winter wheat is exceeding in a few cases where it has been wrinkled by extreme heat. The northern section of Alberta has been naturally anxious to impress the world with the fact that it has not suffered from drought, and this is quite true. Wheat crops run from 20 to 30 bushels to an acre, but in a report such as this it is really only possible to deal with the province as a whole and while the estimate may seem very low, the amount is fairly to the province throughout.¹ When the very light rainfall and other eccentricities of the past season are taken into account, it seems nothing short of a miracle that the Canadian West should have produced 102 million bushels of wheat, which is less than 18 million bushels short of the crop of 1909. It is for the West generally a paying crop and perhaps the best advertisement the country has ever had, as it shows that no matter how much it costs, good seed and proper methods of conserving the moisture, a crop can always be produced. As some evidence of the feeling of the farmers, are submitted letters written by farmers but a few days ago, and they offer the best proof that can be given. Maldstone, Sask., Aug. 4. 10. I came to Maldonstone from Menomonee, Wis. four years ago, with my parents and two brothers. We all love homesteads and now have our patents. The soil is a rich black loam as good as I have ever seen. We have had good crops each year and in 1909 they were exceedingly good. Wheat yielding from 22 to 40 bushels per acre and oats from 40 to 80. We are well pleased with the country and do not care to return to our native state. I certainly believe that we should just give the plod for a hustler to get a start and make himself a home. Wages here for farm labor range from $35 to $45 per month. Lee Dow. Tofield, Alberta, July 10, 1910. I am a native of Alabama, the largest and one of the very best states of the Union. I have been here three years and have not one desire to return to the States to live. There is no place I know of that offers such splendid inducements for capital, brain and brawn. I would like to say to all who are not satisfied where you are, make a trip to Western Canada; if you do not wish it, it will for you for your trip. Take this from one who's on the ground. We enjoy splendid government, laws, school, railway facilities, health, and last, but not least, an ideal climate, and this from a Texan. O. L. Pugha. James Normes of Norter-Wisconsin, after visiting Dauphin, Manitoba, says: "I have been in Wisconsin 25 years, coming out from Norway. Never have I seen better land and the crops in East Dauphin are better than I have ever seen, especially the oats. There is more straw and it has heavier heads than ours in Wisconsin. "This is' just the kind of land we are looking for. We are all used to mixed farming and the land we have seen is finely adapted to that sort of work. Cattle, hogs, horses and grain will be my products, and for the live stock, prospects could not be better. I have never seen such cattle as are raised here on the wild prairie grasses and the vetch that stands three or four feet high in the groves and on the open prairie. Sir Wilfred Laurier Talks to Ameri- icans Sir Wilfred Laurier, Premier of Canada, is now making a tour of Western Canada and in the course of his tour he has visited Lany of the districts in which Americans have settled. He expresses himself as highly pleased with them. At Craig, Saskatchewan, he joined with the others in an address of welcome. In reply Sir Wilfred said in part: "I understand that many of you have come from the great Republic to the south of us—a land which is akin to us by blood and tradition. I hope that in coming from a free country you realize that you come also to the south of us, and that though you came from a republic you have come to what is a crowned democracy. The King, our sovereign, has perhaps not so many powers as the President of the United States, but whether we are on the one side of the line or the other, we are all brothers by blood, by kinship, by ties of relationship. In coming here as a nation, we are all citizens of this country no one desires you to forget the land of your ancestors. It would be a poor man who would not always have in his heart a fond affection for the land which he came from. The two greatest countries today are certainly the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the United States. Let them be united together and the peace of the world will be forever assured. "I hope that in coming here as you have, you have found liberty, justice and equality of rights. In this country, as in your own, you know nothing of separation of creed and race, for you are all Canadians here. And if I may express a wish it is that you would become as good Canadians as you have been good Americans and that you may yet remain good Americans. We do not want you to forget what you have been; but we want you to look more to the future than to the past. Let me, before we part, tender you the sincere expression of my warmest gratitude for your reception." The Right Way William Muldoon, the noted trainer, was talkin, apropos of the Jeffries-Johnson fight, of training. "In training," he said, "the strictest obedience is required. Whenever I think of the theory of training I think of Dash, who, after 18 years of married life, is one of the best and happiest husbands in the world. "Dash,' I once said to him, 'well, Dash, old man, how do you take married life' "According to directions,' he replied." BIG SCHOOL FUND Auditor of State Bleaky Compiler Statistics for Division of the State Fund Which Amounts to $4,788,817.56.

BULLETIN ON DREAD DISEASE Des Moines, Sept. 9.—Secretary Summer, of the State Board of Health, has issued a special bulletin on infantile paralysis. The bulletin is one of the best treaties on the subject which has appeared since the disease became prevalent in this state. It takes up the history and development of the disease, the symptoms which indicate the presence of the disease and gives the special rules of the State Board of Health, governing cases of infantile paralysis. Under the history of the disease Secretary Summer shows that the disease is not new but was known to the country as early as 1784. The disease he defines as beginning suddenly with fever, a profound sleepy condition, delirium, and general convulsions. He says there is a rapid and complete development of paralysis with a relaxation of the muscles, the paralysis being distributed over the trunk and extremities of the body.

MONOPLOY AND WASTE MUST BE ABOLISHED Proper Development and Use of the Nation's Natural Resources Are Discussed by Colonel Roosevelt in the St. Paul Conservation Congress. St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 7—Equalling in interest the address of President Taft at the opening of the conserva ton congress was the speech of Theodore Roosevelt delivered today. The hall was crowded to the doors by persuaded to hear the former president and they frequently cheered his utterance. His subject was "National Elcency" and he spoke as follows: The method of reckless and unconcerned private use and waste has done no harm to our environment. time to put an end to it before it does all the evil it easily may. We have passed the law, and arson and destruction, and arsonant monopoly, are any longer permissible. Hereforth we have made the law more strict and a better way by the way of the orderly development and use, coupled with the careful use of our reason by making the measure of our benefit of the all of us, instead of leaving the sources of material prosperity open to the public. In some of the reasons why it is wise that we should abandon the old point of view, and why conservation has become a pa Waterways Development. One of the greatest of our conservation problems is the wipe and prompt development of the Twin Cities, lying as the door at the headwaters of the Mississippi, are not upon the direct line of the proposed skies to the deep waterway, but rather to the shallow, prompt completion, as well as in the deepening and regulation that the Mississippi gulf provides.

In nearly every river city from St. Paul to the Gulf of Mexico water-front is controlled by waterways in the United States, either directly or indirectly, is under the same control. It goes without saying that four railways will attend to take control of our waterways as fast as they are improved and completed. nor would I abandon railways will attend to take control of matter. We must see to it that adequate terminals are provided in every city and open under reasonable conditions to the use of every citizen, and rigidly protected against monopoly; and we must protect the waterways continuously effectively and under reasonable conditions. Unless we do so the railway lines will refuse to openly or by imposing prohibitions conditions, and the waterways once improved will do comprimitively little for the benevolence. Adequate terminals properly controlled and open through lines by rail and boat are two absolute conflicts in control of inland water development. I believe furthermore that the railways should be prohibited from owning, controlling, or caring for interest in the strictest regulation and control of the Inter-State Commerce Commission, and the strictest regulation and control of the Inter-State Commerce interests may be fully protected. The National Forests. If any-proof were needed that forest protection is a National duty, the recent destruction of the forest is even more important. Even with the aid of the army added to that of the forest service the loss has been severe. Without either it would have been vastly But the forest service does more than protect the National forests against fire, and is useful as well. During the last year for which I have the figures the National Forests have been used to protect them with their hardies, 5,000 sheepmen with their flocks, 5,000 timbermen with their crews, and 4,000 them for other special industries. Nearly 240,000 settlers had the free use of wood. The total resident area of about a quarter of a million, which is larger than the population of certain rural areas, is a much larger cultural land, have been patented or listed for patient within the forests, and the report indicates that more than 400,000 people a year use the forests for recreation, camping, hunting, fishing, and similar activities. The injury to the timber, which has a value of at least a thousand million dollars, Moreover, about 800 irrigation projects, and more than 800 supply of a thousand cities and towns, about 800 irrigation projects, and more than 800 supply of water for these and other purposes by individual settlers. The investigations of the Country Life Commission have led the farmers of this country to realise that they need more of progress and all that it brings. Some of our farming communities in the country have made marvelous progress, yet even the best of them, like communities of every kind, while much needs be done in some other sections to improve country life.

As a people we have not yet learned to economize. One of the virtues we Americans most need is truth. It is a more valuable skill than the ability to argue are not good for a Nation. So far as they affect character, the loss they cause may be beyond computation. But the loss they cause is greater than is caused by both extravagance and luxury put together. I mean the loss to our people from premature death and avoidable diseases. Wholly apart from the grief, the suffering, and the wretched each year has been calculated at nearly twice what it costs to run the Federal government. In addition to the state and federal government, there is urgently needed a Federal bureau of health, to act, so far as the National government properly may, to rescue our people from this dreadful burden. National Conservation Commission. One of the most important meetings in our recent history was that of the governor, who was to consider the conservation question. By the advice of the governor the meeting was followed by the Appointment of a National conservation commission. The governor's attention of the country to conservation as nothing, also could have done, while the government defensible and supplied it with a practical program. But at the moment when the commission was ready to begin the commission for public purposes the governor sent a letter to the Sunday civil service bill was introduced by a congressman from Minnesota with the purpose of pushing for an adamantly public congress passed the amendment. As object was to put an end to the work of a number of committee presidents, and whose contribution to the public welfare had so simply imitable. Among these were the commission and the National Commission to the government, the public hands commission, the country, the commission, and the National Commission to the government. I asked the Sunday civil service bill contributing this amendment. I transmitted with it as my last official act a memorial declaration that I would consider an unconstitutional interference with the rights of the executive, and that if I were to coin President I would pay it to no The National conservation commission therefore begins dawn and dusk, the uninterrupted time, and there was no danger that the progress already made would be hindered by the national conservation association was organized. It took up the work which other organizations could do in a mutualIndifference in promoting bad legislation, in seeping the bureaucracy at the next level of concern in promoting the message of laws. It does the confidence in the development and preservation of our natural resources, and in promoting them through the promotion of the national protections. It works with the National conservation commissions in holding the public here by the final installation of both. Pan-American Construction Pan-American Conference War II, the defeat of the United States aoke to the idea of conservation and saw that it was good. It lost no time in communicating the advantages of the environment to the nations, to the bors among the nations. A North American conservation conference was held in Washington and Mexico in the great problem of developing the resources of the continent for the benefit of its people. It was a great success, our northern and southern boundaries wisely realized that their opportunity to thrive must, because with them destruction and monopolization had not gone so far as they had intended. Central and South America. Obviously they are on the verge of a period of great material progress. The United States has the forests, their mines, their water, and their soils—will create enormous wealth. It is to the mutual interest of all nations that we can republics that this development should be wisely done. Our manufacturing, and more of our natural wealth and raw material, while they will increasingly desire to meet their demand in common, will be able to meet them, the more we shall sell to them. Their prosperity is inseparably involved in the continental continent are now beginning to realize, what in the end the whole world will realize, that normal development of our nation will have its neighbor's national prosper. We of the United States are genuinely and heartily pleased to see the progress in Mexico, in South America. Unlease the governments of all the American republics, including our own, enact laws that protect their natural wealth and promote their legitimate and reasonable development, future generations will owe their misfortunes to us of today. We great nation must protect ourselves and to them to give the American republics all the help we can. The cases in which we have failed should be addressed. We must teach which we have succeeded.

State and Federal Control. The Conservation Fight. On of difficulties in putting into practice the conservation idea is that the growing in the public mind. It has been no slight task to bring before 100,000 people the conservation, and convince them that it is right. This much we have, accommodate cleared up, and many misunderstandings to be removed. These misunderstandings are due in part to desire to direct misinterest it is by the fact that interest it is that conservation should not proaspir. For example, we should know better that temporary withdrawals, such as the withdrawals, or coal lanes, should be known the fact is that these withdrawals have no purpose except to prevent the coal from being able until congress can pass laws to open them to development under conditions that will do the developmen Abuses committed in the name of aust cause are familiar to all of us. Many unwise things are advocated in the name of conservation, either through ignorance, or by those whose interest lies not in procreation. For example, to stop water power development by needless refusal to issue permits for water power, the lands and lands inevitably lead many men, friendly to conservation and believers in its general principles, to assert themselves a check upon procreas. Nothing could be more mistaken. The idea, widely circulated of late, that conservation means exclusive use of the earth, exclusive use of future generations, is wholly mistaken. Our purpose is to make full use of these resources, but to consider ourselves as the ones who ourselves: just as, a farmer uses his farm in ways to preserve its future usefulness, conservation is the means he stands for ample and wise development. This country needs is what every free country must seek before the world works equally opportunity for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for every one of its citizens. This country has a natural resource, a ship to the improper political domination, no less than the improper economic domination, of the great special country. This country has its natural sources, its natural advantages, its opportunities and its institutions, belong to all its citizens and to all of its citizens freely under any government in which the special interests as such have a voice. The supreme authority task of the government is to conduct national efficiency and national welfare, to drive the special interests out of our public life. If a man found a million dollars, he'd find the same number of relatives the very next minute. One Thing Certain. A citizen are said to be largest at midnight.

A STITCH IN TIME Every form of cutaneous disease could be cured in its incipiency if a jar of Resilin Ointment were kept at hand. A little of this excellent Ointment applied in time will effectually ward off and cure a starting trouble which, if neglected, may prove a troublesome and often obstinate case of Eczema or other disfiguring skin disease. For burns, scalds, slight wounds, sores, erosion of poisony sunburn, it is a quick and sure remedy, usually curing these troubles over night. To the fortunate sufferer with Hemorrhoids (Iching or Inflamed Piles) resilin ointment is indeed a godsend.

The young Duchess of Westminster, wife of the richest peer in England, recently gave birth to her third child, a daughter. Thus there is no heir to the immense Grosvenor fortune, Earl Grosvenor, the duchess second child, having died at the age of four. The other cruel story is being told in Newport about Lady Ursula Grosvenor, the eight-year-old daughter of the young duchess. A friend, the story goes, called at Eaton Hall, and as she sat in the drawing room, little Lady Ursula entered. "Oh, good afternoon," she said gravely. "Mamma can see app upstairs. She's upstairs with the new baby. They sent her, you know, a girl when she'd ordered a boy, and she's so upset that she's quite ill." Globular Lightning. Yesterday the inhabitants of Lewis-ham were provided with a specimen of that curious phenomenon known as "globular lightning." It is what is commonly called the "fire ball," and it is often observed that the object obviously of a totally different character from any other form of lightning. It is much less brilliant than ordinary lightning, and its brightness appears to be that of iron at the "red hot" stage. It is not, as some accounts might have, a solid mull, but it is always spherical and appears to fall from a thunder cloud by its own gravity, sometimes rebounding after striking the ground—London Globe. A Liking for "Hamlet." "Do you like Hamlet?" asked the hostess of her unlettered, if gushing, guest. "Did I do," was the reply.

"I gave her haun with an amuselet for breakfast most morning," said the hostess, when telling the story—Scraps. Slightly Confused.

Sometimes a good, healthy commercial traveler suffers from poorly selected food and is lucky if he learns that Grape-Nuts food will put him right. A Cincinnati traveler says: "About a year ago my stomach got in a bad way. I had a headache most of the time and suffered misery. For several months I was in bed, lost about a month in weight and finally had to give up a good position and go home. Any food that I might use seemed to nauseate me. "My wife, hardly knowing what to do, one day brought her a package of Grape-Nuts food and coaxed me to try it. I told her it was no use but finally to humor her I tried a little, and they just struck my taste. It was the first food I had eaten in nearly a year that did not cause any suffering. "Well, to make a long story short, I began to improve and stuck to Grape-Nuts. I went up from 135 pounds in December to 194 pounds the following October. "My brain is clear, blood all right and appetite too much for any man's pocketbook. In fact, I am thoroughly made over, and owe it all to Grape-Nuts. I talk so much about what Grape-Nuts will do that some of the men on the road have nicknamed me Grape-Nuts.
