'or the capture of Dugull Bell, living
oa Anchor street. River Rouge. The
ether morning Charles went out to
round up some duck hunters. Down
the road near tho marshlands he saw
Eell making away with a mud hen. He
gave chase. Overtaking Dugull, that
worthy hunter did the only thing left
for him to do—leaped Into the bog.
Daniel s 200 pounds didn't permit him
to follow. So ho sat down on the
bank and waited.
Ont in th® bog, waist deep, stood
Dugull. On the bank, lazily smoking,
the warden smiled as he saw aa army
of mosquitoes approaching. He cov-
ered his head with the automobile
robe. Under cover he could hear the
buzzing and imagine the rest. When
the buzzing ceased he looked at Du-
gull. Big welts covered his face, neck
and hands. He didn't say a word.
Daniel waited. Two hours later Bell
said, "I've bad enough." He came
out of the bog, was arrested and later
released on his promise to appear in
court—Detroit News.

"I learned something from the por-

Whoever had occupied the berth had

The porter grinned broadly. 'Wasn't

The kind of Food Used by Athletes.
A former college athlete, one of the
long distance runners, began to lose
bis power of endurance. Ills experi-
ence with a change in food i3 Interest-
ing.
"While I was In training on the
track athletic team, my daily 'jogs' be
camo a task, antil after I was put on
Grape-Nuts food for two meals a day
After using the Food for two weeks I
felt like a new man. My digestion was
perfect, nerves steady and I was full
of energy.
1 trained for the mile and the half
mile runs (those events which require
so much endurance) and then the long
daily 'Jogs,' which before had been
such a task, were clipped off with
ease. I won both events.
"The Grape-Nuts food put me In per-
fect condition and gave me my 'ginger.'
Not only was my physical oonditlon
made perfect, and my weight In-
creased. but my mind was made clear
and vigorous so that I could get out
my studies in about half the time for
merly required. Now mo9t all of the
University men use Grape-Nuts for
they have learned its value, but I
think my testimony will not be amiss
and may perhaps help some one to
learn how the best results can be ob-

There's a reason for the effect of
Grape-Nuts food on the human body
and brais. The certain elements in
wheat and barley are selected wl'h
special reference to their power for re-
building tha brain and nerve centres.

two or three week's use as to produce

PcACE CONFERENCE FAILED ROCKEFELLER OWNS MOST.
He Holds 247.642 Shares of Standard
Oil Stock—Has Depreciated in
Value Nearly One Half.
New York.—A record of the pres-
ent stockholders of the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey, part of which
was placed in evidence Friday in the
federal suit against the oil combine,
disclosed that John D. Rockefeller
own3 247,C42 shares of stock, and
that his holdings are almost five ti nes
larger than the shareholdings of any
other individual interest. The record
shows, though, that since the dissolu-
tion of the liquidating trust Mr. Rocke-
feller has disposed of nearly 10,000
shares of his holdings. Based on the
present market value of $440 for Stan-
dard Oil stock, Mr. Rockefeller's in-
terest in the company is valued at
about $109,000,000.
The depreciation in the price of
Standard Oil stock within the past ten
years, about the time the agitation
against the company began has been
more than $400 a share. Since the
legal proceedings against the Standard
OH company of New Jersey were in-
stituted the stock has steadily de-
clined until it is now around $440.
The Hague.—After having been In
session over three months, and with
adjournment probably a month in the
distance. It is recognized generally,
and even by the most optimistic in the
peace movement that the second in-
ternaional peace conference has been
and will be at its conclusions barren
of results leading to permanent meas-
ures of benefit to the peace of the
world.
Even the production for a future
meeting of the conference which was
unanimously adopted on Saturday, has
been so altered as to suppress its
most important part, namely the
periodicity of the meetings merely
providing for the calling of a third
conference but establishing nothing
with regard to convening or the fu-
ture conferences.

"Hold on a minute," said the judge.
"You say he aever bet on a horse?"
"That's what I said, your honor."
"Never was known to play a gamer
"Never your honor."
"And ke never drank liquor?"
"Never drank a drop, yonr honor."
"And he didn't chew tobacco?"
"Never took a chew in his life."
"Well, then." said the judge, "1

FIFTEEN YEARS OF ECZEMA.
Terrible Itching Prevented 8leep~
Hands, Arms and Legs Affected
—Cuticura Cured in 6 Days.
"I had eczema nearly fifteen years.
The affected parts were my hands,
arms and legs. They were tho worst
in the winter time, and were always
Itchy, and I could not keep from
scratching them. I had to keep both
hands bandaged all the time, and at
night I would have to scratch through
the bandages as the itching was so
Eevere, and at times I would have to
tear everything off my hands to scratch
the skin. I could net rest or sleep. 1
had several physicians treat me but
they could not give me a permanent
cure nor even could they stop thA itch-
ing. After using the Cutlcura^Joap,
one box of Cuticura Ointment and two
bottles of Cuticura Resolvent for about
six days the itching had ceased, and
now the sores have disappeared, and I
never felt better in my life than I do
now. Edward Worell, Band 30th U. S.

It was growing very late, but the

no signs of making a home run.

Imagination, Mr. Borem," said the
dear girl, a.s she made an unsacceasful
attempt to strangle a yawn.
"Why do you think so?" queried the
unsuspecting Borem.
"I thought perhaps you imagined
' yourself in the Arctic regions, where
the nights are six months long," sbe
explained.
