tracts Learned Men of
Pacific Coast.
STRONG ADDRESSES MADE
Interesting Questions Dealing 'With
Welfare of Young Are Treated
by Leading Dignitaries
of the Church.
The first day's session of the Catholic
Educational Association of Oregon opened
with solemn high mass at St. Mary s Ca
thedral at 9 o'clock yesterday morning.
The services were followed by a ser
mon by the Right Rev. Abbot Thomas,
O. S. B., on the subject, "The Dignity of
Pedagogy." He spoke at some length
on the duty which parents owe to their
children of educating those children in
dogmatic as well as moral channels.
"Teach our little ones first, to know;
second, to love, and third, that which is
most Important of all. how properly to
serve Him. said the Abbot, "it is not
enough that the children be taught the
three R's of education." His Reverence
continued. "It is most essential that they
be brought into closer contact with a
God whom they may feel a real love and
respect for. and a God who by his In
finite mercy and goodness appeals to
their young hearts with a lasting ef
fect, which will be the very foundation
of their future faith."
"This Is ' really the object of this in
stitute. We have an abundance of peda
gogical text-books and teachers' in
stitutes every year. The line of dif
ferentiation lies directly between public
and parochial methods," said Father
Thomas.
The Afternoon Session.
The president. Rev. Edwin V. O'Hara.
then announced that the remainder of
the day's proceedings would take place
in the assembly-room of the West Side
High School, Fourteenth and Alder
streets. About 2W teachers, comprising
the institute, made up of priests, nuns,
brothers and lay teachers, registered with
the committee, and Father O'Hara, after
pronouncing the Lord's prayer, spoke on
the subject, "The Status of Catholic Ed
ucators." He said: "In the Catholic
Kducatlonal Association there are more
than 5000 pupils and about 217 teachers.
This gives each teacher about 25 pupils.
Ten per cent of these pupils are in high
school work and one-fourth of the
teachers are engaged in their instruction,
so that in' reality the other 75 per cent
of these teachers have about 35 pupils
each." He spoke of the need of keep
ing the average at its present ratio so
that every schular might have the ad
. vantage of personal contact with the
teacher, and deplored the tendency at
present so rife among parents and guard
ians of breaking the school discipline by
permittlng children to absent themselves
from school with little or no excuse, and
In other ways breaking the rules with
out punishment.
H. P. Conway, a graduate of Dartmouth
College, and much interested In school
work and education generally, followed
Father O'Hara making a brief address
on his experience as a teacher.
He had Just come from the National
Catholic educators' convention, held at
Cincinnati, last week, from which he
brought greetings and gave several in
teresting impressions of discussions held
there.
Morality Among Teachers.
Father William A. Daly, rector of St.
Mary's Church. Albina, spoke at length
on the "Morality Among Teachers."
Father Daly said that unless the charac
ter of the teacher was strong enough to
Impress the pupil, very little lasting re
sults could be obtained. He cited numer
ous Instances wherein the lack of character
had created no end of havoc and disor
der. He strongly advocated the use of
catechisms in the schoolroom and urged
that this question be made an issue dur
ing the progress of the Institute. Fol
owine Father Daly's address, a recess
was taken until 2 P. M. The afternoon
session opened with music under the di
rection of f; W. Goodrich.
The opening address was delivered by
Rev. Father Ford, director of studies. St.
Ignatius College, San Francisco, on "The
Leading Factors in English Literature."
His remarks were well received. He said
In part:
"It gives me great pleasure to be per
mitted to speak before such a represen
tative body of pedagogists. More par
ticularly is this true in view of the topic
upon which I am invited to talk.' It Is
one in which I am most deeply Inter
ested, having spent the greater part of
my life pursutog the study of ancient and
modern llteraTure. I do not know that
1 have ever read or heard of the defi
nition of literature as I have it. but I
define It as being thought artistically ex
pressed In language.
Compares the Arts.
"Take, for Instance. the beautiful
musical numbers to which we have Just
listened with so much enjoyment. That
Is 'thought' artistically expressed, but in
sound rather than in language. Again,
we may take a beautiful painting, that
also is 'thought' artistically expressed,
but In colors. So it goes throughout the
entire category rf art. in sculpture,
thought Is artistically expressed, but in
marble, bronze or some other substance,
so that only in literature can we say that
, thought is artistically expressed in lan
guage. "All literature aims at one of three
ends." said Dr. Ford, in closing. "To
Instruct, to amuse or to persuade. School
text-pooks. educational works of one kind
or another instruct, poetry, verse or prose
In works of fiction amuse and lastly the
Bible, written to persuade mankind in
the way of righteousness."
Frank Rlgler. City Superintendent of
Schools, made the closing addVess on the
"Principles of Classification." He said: "A
century or so ago it was not considered
good pedagogy for a teacher to instruct
more than one pupil at a time, and con
sequently there was no class Instruction
at that time. As time went on. however.
It was found from a scientific standpoint
that to have from 10 to 25 pupils In a
class gave better results.
Economy of Time.
"Many time since I have had charge of
the local public schools I have asked the
question of teachers. 'What .is the chief
benefit of class teachingr and the almost
Invariable answer was 'Economy of time.'
Now that Is by no means the chief benefit
of class teaching. The greatest good, as
I see It. Is that a pupil receives just so
many more impressions on any topic un
der discussion by contact with other
pupils. Each has his antecedent view
points when the topic under discussion is
brought up and these impressions are
changed to suit the dominant viewpoint
as it Is set forth by the teacher. There
is a limit to the number composing a
class, however, though John K?nnedy,
Superintendent of Schools of Batavta, N.
Y.. seems to think otherwise. He fol
lows the old simile that nothing 1b sub
tracted from the light because of the
number of people who look at it.
"We try, insofar as wo are able, to keep
a minimum of 15 and a maximum of 25
in all of our classrooms. 'Ae appropria
tion up to a short time ago only allowed
us one teacher to every 40 pupils. That
la remedied now, however, and we are as
a r?sult ale to keep the number down
to 25." .
At the closing of the day's session
Father O'Hara repeated the Lord's
prayer, all present kneeling.
Department work in all its branches
is the programme for today.
The musical programme will consist of
vocal numbers rendered by Mrs. Frederic
Olsen and Miss Lucille Ragsdale.
FOUND BLUE BUCKET MINE
Death of Dan Herren Recalls Early
Day Stampedes for Gold.
Dan Herren, who died at his farm
home, near Tonquin, Washington
County. July 10, was one of Oregon's
oldest pioneers, and had resided on his
farm continuously for more than 40
years.
He was born in Decatur County, Ind.,
December 7, 1S24. When a young man
he went to Missouri, and from there

H., Who Delivered Address at

Educational Amioetatlon.
came, with the family of hie uncle,
John Herren, across the plains to Ore
gon in 1845.
He went to the Cayuse War in 1847,
and was one of the escort which ac
companied to Oregon City for burial
the remains of Colonel Gilham, who
was killed at that time by the acci
dental discharge of his own gun.
In September. 1848, the subject of
this sketch went to California to the
gold mines, remaining until the fol
lowing April, meeting with goo'd suc
cess. It was during the Journey from
Missouri to Oregon in 1845, when the
emigrant train had lost its way and
was wandering among the head waters
of the Malheur River, that Dan Herren
picked up the pieces of yellow metal
that afterward gave rise to all the
golden stories f the "Blue Bucket
Mines." He himself later searched for
the spot, and hundreds of others have
devoted much time to the- quest; but
the location has never again been dis
covered. Mr. Herren followed mining more or
less for eeveral years, living mostly on
the frontier. Then returning to the
Valley, he was married to Miss West
fall, and settled among the Tualatin
hills.
Six children were born to them, five
of whom are living. One daughter,
Mrs. Seeley, and the wife having died
a few years ago.
Mr. Herren's varied experiences in
the pioneers days of Oregon made hlra
an interesting companion, and he re
tained his faculties in an unusual de-,
gree. until seized by his last illness,
which was of short duration.
He was buried from his late home on
Monday, July 12, a large attendance of
relatives, friends and neighbors being
present. .
Mystery of Eastern
Multnomah
Tunnel Leading; to Underground
Chamber Is Found Near Gresham,
and. Although Recently Excavated,
There Is No Clew to Purpose.
GRESHAM, Or., July 20. (Special.) A
mysterious hole in the ground has been
discovered on Charles Powell's farm,
about one mile from Gresham, and. it re
mains a mystery yet. In a small grove
of trees a tunnel was discovered covered
over with brush, which was found to lead
to a larger chamber several yards away.
It had been recently excavated, but no
signs of the earth which had been re
moved were to be found anywhere. It
had all been carried away and scattered
over the plowed fields in the vicinity.
Several persons visited the spot and
came away fully impressed with the idea
that the mysterious chamber was in
tended to hide evidence of some crime,
but of what nature cannot be fathomed.
The underground chamber would make
an excellent cache for plunder or for hid
ing a counterfeiting outfit. It was
thought by eome that the place had been
made by Japanese to hide firearms and
ammunition. A premature exposure of
the discovery prevented a solution of the
mystery and the hole will remain an un
solved puzzle. Its builders will hardly
attempt to use it now. since. its existence
has been made public.

BE GALLED
Ex-
Congressman. Likely to -Be
Put on Stand in the
. Booth Trial.
STATEMENTS OF COUNSEL
Inspector Neuhausen Is the First
Witness Called by Government.
Becker Inspects to Prove Viola
tion of Homestead Laws.
HERMANJT MAY BE WITNESS.
Btnffer Hermann, ex-Congressman
and ex-Commissioner of the General
Land Office, may be a witness for the
defense in the Booth conspiracy trial.
If called Mr. Hermann would testify
to hax'lns conducted a correspondence
with I. Thomas Agee relating to the
latter's proposed exchange of hie
homestead for lien land prior to the
ime that the defendants on trial are
alleged to have entered any negotia
tions looking to the purchase of the
lieu land so acquired by Agee. Attorney-General
A. . H. Crawford, who
was a practicing attorney In Rose
burg at the time, will testify to such
a correspondence, but it is belie'ved
the testimony of Mr. Hermann, who
was Commissioner of the General Land
Office then, would strengthen thto
Important link In the defense that
will be presented by the indicted men.
Introduction of testimony in the Booth
conspiracy trial began in the United
States Court late yesterday afternoon.
The first witness called by the prosecu
tion was Thomas B. Neuhausen, special
agent and attorney of the General Land
Office, who Identified all of the official
papers connected with the exchange by
I. Thomas Agee of his 'homestead for 160
acres of lieu land in Lane County. It was
this land the defendants are alleged un
lawfully to have acquired through con
spiracy. The examination of witnesses
for the prosecution Is being conducted by
United States Attorney McCourt and the
questioning of Mr. Neuhausen will be re
sumed when court convenes at 10 o'clock
this morning.
The greater part of yesterday was oc
cupied by opposing counsel in presenting
the opening addresses to the jury. Tracy
C. Becker, special assistant to the United
States Attorney-General, outlined the case
for the Government, while - Dan J. Ma
larkey presented the facts on which the
defense will rely to disprove the allega
tions presented In the Indictment.
Becker Explains Law.
Mr. Becker prefaced his opening state
ment with an explanation of the home
stead law, which was enacted in 1862 and
amended in 1891. He said the Government
would show that in 1892 "Wild Bill"
Bradley, who lived in the Cascade Moun
tains about 60 miles from Koseburg,
advised a man named Stearns and I.
Thomas Agee, of a desirable tract of
grazing land In the mountains near his
home and which was ideal for stock
raising. Late in the year 1892, Stearns
and Agee visited the land and the latter
decided to settle on the tract and ac
quire it under the homestead law. Mr.
Becker asserted the Government would
show further that Agee did not comply
with the provisions of the homestead law
since he did not actually reside on the
land for more than two or three months
at a time more than three or four times
between 1893 and 1897. In the latter year
Agee married and abandoned the claim,
after the cabin he had erected had been
burned and his cattle killed during his
protracted absences from the property.
During these Ave years It is contended by
the prosecution that Agee, while he made
some improvements on the land, never
established a legal residence there but
continued to vote and exercise the right
of citizenship at Oak Creek, Douglas
County, where he lived and cultivated his
brother's farm.
The prosecution will also undertake to
show that subsequent to 1S97 when the
160 acres Agee had been seeking to ac
quire under the homestead law, together
with other land, was added to the forest
reserve by proclamation of the President,
T. E. Singleton, brother-in-law of the
Booths, suggested to Agee that he make
application for 160 acres of lieu land in
exchange for his homestead. Singleton is
said to have informed Agee that the
Booth-Kelly Lumber Company would pro
vide cruisers to select and locate for him
a desirable tract of 160 acres of good
timber land in Lane County and at the
same time agree to take the land off his
hands after he had completed final proof
and received his patent.
May Implicate J. H. Booth.
The Government also expects to con
nect James Henry Booth with the al
leged conspiracy by proving that, while
Receiver of the Roseburg Land Office,
he prepared for Agee the application
for the lieu land and at the time paid
Agee a deposit of $50 on ' an agreed
consideration of $300 Agee was to re
ceive, from the Booth-Kelly people,
when he deeded the property to that
corporation. Mr. Becker said it would
be shown that when Agee received his
patent to the land he went to a lawyer,
J. H. Shoup, now deceased, at Rose
burs, who prepared the deed transfer
ring the land to the Booth-Kelly
Lumber Company. While the consid
eration named in the deed was oaly
$10, he said it would further be proved
that the remaining $250 was advanced
by James Henry Booth to Agee when
the deed was delivered, and that Booth
subsequently recovered the entire $300
by drawing on the company for that
amount.
The third defendant. Robert A. Booth,
declared Mr. Becker, would be asso
ciated with the conspiracy by testi
mony which would show that he at all
times had a knowledge of the trans
action and at the request of Agee per
sonally advanced the necessary fees,
amounting to about $12, which were
required to complete the lieu land ap
plication. The interest of this defend
ant, concluded the Government prose
cutor," in the agreement with Agee
would be established by proof that
Agee deeded the 160 acres to the
Booth-Kelly Lumber Company, of
which R. A. Booth was president and
manager.
Malarkey Claims Innocence.
Mr. Malarkey also devoted consider
able time to a discussion of the home
stead laws and provisions and declared
that the defendants were not guilty of
the offense charge, having not violat
ed the statute in any sense criminally.
He maintained that under the law a
continuous residence was not required
on a homestead and that intent, rather
than an established residence, was the
true import of the statute. He denied
that there was any provision in the
law which prevented a man from con
MAY
tracting to sell or otherwise dispose of
lieu land, acquired in exchange for s
homestead that had been earned law
fully, even if such an agreement should
be made before the exchange in land
had been made.
. Counsel for the defense commented
on the fact that the indictment was
returned over three years ago and In
volved transactions that took place
17 years ago. This had placed the de
fense at a serious dasadvantage, since
at least two men, important as wit
nesses for the defendants, were now
dead, and several others had left the
country and could not be located.
Mr. Malarkey insisted that Agee had
compiled with every condition of the
homestead law and had established an
undisputed claim to the land before the
lieu land law of 1897 was enacted. He
said that Agee had been unable to get
his homestead surveyed, and for that
reason could not secure a patent from
the Government and, therefore, was
fully entitled to all advantages offered
under the terms of the lieu land act.
The defense, he said, would prove that
because of the intimidation of Agee by
Bill Bradley, who was virtually an
outlaw, Agee concluded that he did not
desire longer to live in such a com
munity and began negotiations looking
to the acquisition of lieu land, having
heard of the provisions of that act.
Binger Hermann Involved.
"Witnesses would be produced, de
clared Mr. Malarkey, who would testify
that Agee, having reached this conclu
sion, , consulted with his nephew,
Roland Agee, who was then Deputy
Sheriff of Douglas County. He then
took the matter up with Biriger Her
mann, Commissioner of the General
Land Office, who agreed to lend his
services towards securing for Agee
lieu land. Later these negotiations
were prosecuted further by A. M.
Crawford, the present State Attorney
General, correspondence on the sub
ject pass in between Agee and his
attorney with the General Land Office.
Later Agee went to the Land Office at
Roseburg and applied personally for
the exchange of land. J. H'. Booth, who
was at the time Receiver of the Rose
burg Land Office, assisting him to pre
pare the necessary papers. Mr. Ma
larkey repeatedly asserted that all
these details were conducted prior to
the time the defendants on trial were
alleged to have participated in the
transaction, and that Agee subsequent
ly had the right to dispose of the lieu
land to the Booth-Kelly Lumber Com
pany or to any other person or cor
poration at his pleasure.
In conclusion Mr. Malarkey resented
the methods that had been employed by
the prosecution, which, he charged, had
kept its principal witness, Agee, under
the persona! charge of a Deputy United
States Marshal ever since the witness
had reached the city.
SEEKS CUSTODY OF DAUGHTER
Mrs. Annie Foster Petitions Federal
Court for Habeas Corpus Writ.
Alleging that her 7-year-old daugh
ter, Loreta Hoag, is being restrained of
her liberty by Mrs. Hattie Myers in
the town of Marquam, Clackamas
County, Mrs. Annie Foster yesterday
applied in the United States Court for
a writ of habeas corpus. The writ
was granted by judge Wolverton. who
has fixed October 5 as the time when
Mrs. Myers will be required to appear
in court and show cause why she
should not restore the child to her
mother.
In her application! for the habeas
corpus writ, Mrs. Poster recites that
in January, 1906, while she was serious
ly 111 in a Portland hospital, she sur
rendered the custody of her young
daughter to Mrs. Myers. The mother
avers that the understanding was that
should she not recover from her sick
ness, the child was to remain with Mrs.
Myers permanently. But, upon her re
covery, Mrs. Foster asserts, she ap
plied repeatedly to Mrs. Myers to have
her daughter restored to her, and this
has been refused. Mrs. Foster sets
forth that she is entirely able and de
sirous of receivlng'her daughter back
and providing for her a good home.
VISIT .OF CHARLES FULLER
Former Head or Big Advertising
Firm Impressed With Oregon.
Charles H. Fuller, until recently head
of the advertising company that bears
his name and one of the biggest firms
of its kind in the world, is in the city
on his first trip to the Pacific Coast.
After 28 years of continuous service
in the advertising business, he recently
sold his interest in the big advertising
firm and has retired from active busi
ness. He organized the company 28
years ago and has been at the head of
it during the entire period. In chat
time he made the company one of the
biggest and most" widely-known in the
world.
Its two main offices are located in
New "Stork City and Buffalo, and branch
offices in other cities. For a time a
London office was maintained.
Mr. Fuller delivered an address to
the members of the Washington State
Press Association which held its an
nual session at Vancouver last week.
On receiving the invitation he decided
to make a visit to the Northwest and
deliver the address in person.
"I had never been in this part of the
country," he said, "and .was very much
interested in it. I took advantage of
the invitation to deliver the address
and came.
"And. although I had heard much of
Oregon, I did not realize the wonders
of this section. And, by the way, when
one back East thinks of Oregon or
hears of It, he naturally thinks of the
Oregonian. In my mind the two have
always been closely connected.
"There is one thing, however, that
strikes me as peculiar from an adver
tising and commercial point of view.
California is famed for her oranges
and Oregon for her apples. But, I am
told, it costs about twice as much to
ship a box of apples from Oregon as it
does a box of ora-nges from California.
If that is true, it certainly is not just
to the state."
Mr. Fuller is accompanied by his
wife and in a few days they will leave
for the Sound. From there they will
visit Banff, B. C, and return home Sep
tember 1.
MINISTER HAS SMALLPOX
Rev. A. A. Winter, of East Side,
Taken to Isolation Hospital.
Rev. A. A. Winter, pastor of the First
United Evangelical Church, East Tenth
and Sherman streets, has smallpox and
was removed from the manse to the
Isolation Hospital. Saturday. Mr. Winter
was taken ill ten days ago with what
was supposed to be nervous prostration
from overwork, but until Saturday the
attending physician did not pronounce
the case smallpox. Mr. Winter was pre
paring to leave for rest and recreation on
a farm in the Willamette Valley. Up to
Friday a great many of his friends called
to see and chat with him. but Saturday
the case was pronounced smallpox and he
was at once removed to the pesthouse.
The attack is mild and there is believed
to be small danger that it will spread
among friends, who continued to call as
late as Friday.

"IT-IS NOT TRUE"
SAYS H.E.E.CDOKE
Alleged Land-Frauder Denies
His Company Was to
Acquire Land.
WILL MAKE NO STATEMENT
Declares That Story of New York
Times Reporter Is a Fabric of
Fiction Held Here for
Extraditions
Henry E. G. Cooke, of the Oregon
Ranching & Timber Company, denies that
any contract by which the company was
to acquire public land in Oregon, ever ex
isted between the company or its offi
cials and the persons who were induced
to come West and file on timber land.
.This denial was made by Cooke yesterday
after he had refused point blank to make
any statement to the press regarding
himself or his company.
Cooke Is held at the Multnomah County
Jail awaiting the arrival of the officials
from the East with extradition papers.
The indictment agaln;t him was filed In
the United States Court In New York,
charging htm with conspiring to defraud
the Government of valuable timber land,
and with subornation of perjury. He
was arrested at Baker City.
"I knew that the officers were watching
me before I was arrested," said Cooke
yesterday, "but I was not violating the
law, so I didn't make any attempt to
escape. However, I do not wish to dis
cuss the matter, or make any statements
which might be used against me at my
trial. It will all come out when I am
placed on the witness-stand.
"It was said that I brought a crowd
out here" to Oregon on a. special car. That
Is not true. I was out here three days
before any of the others arrived. Then
the statement has been made that we had
a contract with these people by which
they were to sell us the land at $2000 for
160 acres after they had purchased it.
That I absolutely deny. No contracts
of this kind were ever drawn up be
tween the company and 'these parties. A.
George Marshall, secretary of the com
pany, never offered to the reporter on
the New York Times, or anybody else, to
purchase the land from them after they
had secured it from the Government."
"But you were in Oregon when this
deal with the reporter was made. How
do you know what was promised him?"
was asked.
"Well, I know Mr. Marshall wouldn't
promise anything like that. We didn't
offer anything of the kind. You don't
suppose I would run the risk of going
oyer the road for two years when 1
can make an honest living. I have always
been able to do that heretofore."
Cooke admitted that the entrants on the
timber land each paid the company a
fee of $100 to be located on the land, and
paid their own railroad fare to Oregon.
It is said that one of the number, who
was placed by the company's operations,
submitted the proposition to two reliable
attorneys in New York, and that both of
them pronounced it legal. The United
States authorities are convinced, however,
that it was not.
TWO ARE TAKEN TO PRISON
Roy Sommers and Charles Walton
Begin Serving Sentences.
Sheriff Stevens took Roy Sommers and
Charles Walton to the penitentiary at
Salem yesterday. Sommers was brought
from Tacoma by the Sheriff last week,
where he was arrested in the act of
carrying the plunder from a house -he
had robbed. He afterward attempted
to break jail at Tacoma by sawing a
bar in his cell. As Sommers was on
parole from the Circuit Court here, under
a five-year sentence for stealing, he for
feited the parole by leaving the state and
committing additional crimes.
He Is said to have informed the Ta
coma officials that he would never return
to Oregon, that he would "knock the
block off any man who tried to take
him." He was brought back with hands
and feet manacled'.
Although Judge O'Day issued an order
last week rescinding the writ of probable
cause on which Walton was held at the
County Jail, the appeal to the Supreme
Court will be made. Dan Murphy, Wal
ton's attorney, filed the bill of excep
tions with the Circuit Court Clerk yester
day afternoon. District Attorney Cam

on this cannot be had, however, until

WILL RENDER DECISION TODAY
Judge Gantenbeln to Decide Suit
Over John Clark Estate.
The suit over the John Clark estate,
tried in the Circuit Court last March,
Is to be decided by 'Judge Gantenbeln
this morning at 10 o'clock. It was
brought by John A. Clark as adminis
trator of his mother's estate, worth
about $200,000.
From the testimony given last
March it appeared that Mr. Clark,
senior, took a -trip to Europe, leaving a
bill of sale and deed to his property in
favor of his wife, in order that
she might have his property in
case- of his death. Witnesses testified
that these papers were kept in a bu
reau drawer for a long time, and were
apparently forgotten. Then Mrs. Clark
died and the senior Clark remarried.
- Mrs. L. C. Apperson, a daughter,
found the deed after the mother's
death and had it recorded. The ques
tion which Judge Gantenbeln will de
cide involves the validity of the bill of
sale of the John Clark Saddlery Com
pany, which transferred it to Mrs.
Clark, and the deed to the property.

Put Pet Chicken to Roost
Every Nigbt
East Side Boy and Girl Are' Fond
of Their Feathered Companion, an
Eaater Sunday Gift.
PLUFFY Is a chick that made its ap
pearance at the home of Gerald and
Elln Ryan, little son and daughter of
Joseph A. Ryan. 365 East Thirty-Fourth
street, last Easter Sunday, since which
time it has become a family pet. It was
a present from a friend.
With the children especially. Fluffy is
on excellent terms, and enjoys Its chlck
enshlp Immensely throughout the livelong
day. When the evening shadows fall
Fluffy wanders up to the house and casts
longing glances at Gerald and Ellen.
Then they know what to do, for its
certain bedtime has arrived and their
pet wants to retire. It waits until taken
in charge by the tots, who tenderly carry
it to the basement and carefully set it
down in its nice, comfortable box. where
it remains throughout the long, silent
.watches of the night.
Last week Fluffy undertook a big Job
to fly from the attic window to the
chimney, and nearly frightened Ellen and
Gerald into fits. After alighting on the
chimney the chick was afraid, at first,
to attempt to reach the ground, and
Gerald was about to fetch a ladder,
when Fluffy screwed up sufficient courage
to make the daring leap, and the situa
tion was relieved.

BETTER THAN GOLD
Food That Rebuilds Body and Brain.
"I owe a debt of gratitude to
Grape-Nuts," writes a W. Va. young
lady, "and I am glad of this opportunity
to pay a little interest on it, although
the debt itself I can never hope to re
move. "A few years ago I broke down from
over-work and improper food. I was
then in a preparatory school and my
fondest wish was to enter college the
following year.
"But about the middle of the term
my health failed, and my brain refused
to grapple with the subjects presented
to it. Finally, my eyesight giving way,
I was taken from the school and sent
to my grandmother's in the country,
with orders not to open a book while I
was there.
"The dear old lady tried every way
to console and nurse me back to health,
but it looked like failure until the
day she brought back from town a box,
which, had its contents been pure
gold, would have been of less value to
me than the little golden - brown
granules which it actually contained.
"I did not care about being experi
mented on at first, but that was before
I had tasted Grape-Xuts with Grand
ma's rich Jersey cream.
"Oh, it was too good to stop eating.
And I never have stopped, for I still
have Grape-Nuts for breakfast.
"In the course of a few weeks I was
back at school again, my health so en
tirely restored that I was almost a new
girl.
"I am now in my Junior year at col
lege, president of my class and expect
to take an A. M. degree next year. My
good health has continued and my
eyes, having been strengthened by the
general build-up of my whole body,
enable me to study all I wish." "There's
a Reason."
