Just Politics. Concluded from a preceeding pate. at Leavenworth, and when a settler came across the river the Missourians would grab him and, pointing to the cow, ask him what sort of an animal it was. If he said it was a ‘‘keow,’’ they knew he was a Yankee and fired him back East again. Some one stole the cow and the Missourians substituted a bear. If the newcomer, upon inquiry, called it a ‘‘b’ar,’’ they let him stay. In Garfield County, in our part of the State, many years ago, there was trou- ble in finding a suitable man for county attorney, and in sheer desperation one of the Republican leaders took it upon himself to arise and nominate a young man who was scarcely known to the delegates in the convention and who was not present. The Republican leader ex- patiated at length on the young man and his virtues as a man who, ete., and a man who, etc. In the midst of the harangue one of the delegates cried out, ** How old is he?”" The speaker paused, studied a mo- ment, being apparently in doubt, and then asked wisely, ‘‘How old do you want him?” Once a very famous poker game got mixed up in Kansas politics and involved the appointment of a Federal judge. There was a row about it, and the de- tails of the game were finally placed be- « fore the Attorney-General at Washing- ton. Cy Leland, of our State, Jashed off to Washington to take a hand in the fight. and one day before the Attorney- General (it was Knox) a discussion about the poker game in question came up. Knox said, ‘‘Now, in the details of this game of poker which has been brought to my attention, I find that it is claimed that at one it of the gamea pair of queens beat a pair of jacks.”” ‘*That’s right,’’ said Mr. Leland. ‘*Well, now, Mr. Leland,’’ said Knox, affecting deep ignorance of poker, ‘‘let me ask you—are those good hands?’’ “One of ’em is,’’ said Leland.

I was coming down anyway!” No Matter! N° MATTER whom they nominate, There still are those who'll specu- late; The farmer still will sow and reap, The millions still will work and sleep; The world will sorrow and be gay, And youth will wonder, wish and play; The sun will shine, the winds will blow, And flowers bloom and rivers flow; The game of life will still proceed, And some will flourish, others need; No human motive will abate, No matter whom they nominate. No matter whom they may elect, The gasman meters will inspect; And creditors will render bills, And women still be fond of frills; Babes will be born and people die, And clouds will come and birds will fly; Some men will win a pile of chips, And some invoke receiverships; And lawyers men in meshes catch, While fruit will spoil and some eggs hatch; And love and wedlock keep their course, Spiced by elopement and divorce. J. A Waldron, Well Posted A CALIFORNIA DOCTOR WITH 40 YEARS’ EXPERIE! “In my 40 years’ experience as a teacher and practitioner along hygienic lines,’’ says a Los Angeles physician, ‘I have never found a food to compare with Grape-Nuts for the benefit of the gen- eral health of all classes of people. “IT have recommended Grape-Nuts for a number of years to patients with the greatest success and every year’s expe- rience makes me more enthusiastic re- garding its use. ‘I make it a rule to always recom- mend Grape-Nuts and Postum in place of coffee when giving my patients in- structions as to diet, for I know both Grape-Nuts and Postum can be digested by anyone. “As for myself, when engaged in much mental work my diet twice a day consists of Grape-Nuts and rich cream. I find it just the thing to build up gray matter and keep the brain in good work- ing order. “In addition to its wonderful effects as a brain and nerve food Grape-Nuts always keeps the digestive organs in perfect, healthy tone. I carry it with me when I travel, otherwise I am al- most certain to have trouble with my stomach."’ Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Strong endorsements like the above from physicians all over the country have stamped Grape-Nuts the most scientific food in the world. ‘‘There’s @ reason."” Look in packages for the famous lit- tle book, ‘‘The Road to Wellville.’’ Ever read the above letter?
