morning at breakfast he asked his
father what caused the streaks of fir«
across the sky, and his father, with

pat beside him. and whispered:
"It wasn't that, auntie. It was God
scratching matches on the sky."

Housekeeper Meant to Please Em-
ployer, but Alas!
"Such an article," said II. P. Jud-
son, the new head of the University
of Chicago, in declining a rather tin-
usul Interview, "would be not only
futile but even in a mild way harmful.
It would be like the work of the care-
ful housekeeper. There was an old
general who had brought home from
the war a splendid Hag—a flag all
torn With bullets, faded with fierce
sutis and stained with the dust and
blood of battle. This superb trophy
hung over the mantel In his library.
Well, one unluc ky day ho engaged a
itcw housekeeper and the next week
missed his flag He rang at once.
'Where is that flag of mine?' he said,
pointing anxiously to the empty
jpace on th- wall.
"'I have been wori !ng on it, sir,'
the housekeeper nnsvered. 'I've
washed it thoroughly and sewed up
all the rents and darned all the hotel
and when I bring it back to you, sir,
I'm sure you'll say it looks as gyod
as new.'"
The Bright Side.
"Oh, this poverty!" wept the beauti-
ful wife when her shifty-eyed husband
came home "The gas and electrlo
companies have shut (iff their service
because you have not paid their bills."
"Well, we can use candles," con-
soled the husband.
"And the telephone company has dis-
connect! | our Instrument, because we
owe them two months' rental."
"So much the better. If anyone
tries to ring us up to spend the ev>
ulng with us they will think wo ato
not at home."—Judge.
CHANGE IN FCOD
Works Wen Jen in Health.
It Is worth knowing that a change
In food can cure d\sp p-ia, "I deem
It my duty to let you know how Grape-
Nuts food has cured me of indigestion.
"I had been troubled with it for
years, until last year my doctor rec-
ommended Grape-Nuts food to bo used
every morning. I followed instruc-
tions and now I am entirely well.
"The whole family like Grape-Nuts,
we use four packages a week. You
are welcome to use this testimonial as
you see fit."
The reason this lady was helped by
the use of Grape Nuts food. Is that It
Is predigeited by natural processes
and therefore does not ta\ the stomach
*as the food she had been using; It also
contains the elements required for
building up the nervous system. If
that part of the human body is In per-
fect working order, there ''an lie no
dyspepsia, for nervous energy repre-
sents tho steam that drives the en-
gine.
When tho nervous system 1b ruu
down, the machinery of the body
works badly. Grape Nuts food can ha
used by small children as well as
adults. It Is perfectly cooked and
ready for Instant use.

TrtAIN V/A3 MAKING TCRHIFIC
SPEED.
Thirty-Two Were in Car—Many Deeds
of Heroism—,'den Worked Until
They Collapsed.
Santa Barbara, Cal.: While hurry-
ing northward over the coast line of
the Southern Pacific Railway Satur-
day afternoon, homeward bound after
a week of fraternizing and fiesta in
Los Angeles, 145 Shrlners of Ismalia
Temple of Buffalo and Rajah Temple
of Reading, with their families and
friends, were burled into the midst of
death when their special train, iun
ning fifty miles an hour, struck a de
fectlve switcli at Honda, a lonely sta
lion on the sand wastes of the Pacific
beach, derailing the train, smashing
the coaches Into flinders, killing il Ir-
ty five almost instantly and injuring
more than a score of others. The
bodle„s of twenty-five lie in tin
morgues at Santa Barbara Sunday af
ternoon and ten more are at San
Luis Obispo The Injured, many of
whom are terribly hurt and will prob-
ably die. are In two sanitariums at
San I,uis Obispo.
The wreck occurred exactly nt 2:3.1
o'clock, one hour and forty-five min-
utes after the conclave of visitors
tunning a merry party, had spent all
of the morning sightseeing in Santa
Barbara.
The statement that the train was
making a teriffie speed when It struck
the defective switch was borne, out
by the fact that it covered the slxiy
one miles here of curves and crooked
track between here and Honda in w
nctly loo minutes.
There was no warning of the im-
pending calamity. The special plunged
upon the defective switch, and in an
instant the big locomotive, baggage
car, diner and Pullman coupled with
it were hurled together in a hug •
heap of wreckage. The engine shot
forward on the broken track, tearing
tt|i the rails and ties and twisting
huge iron spans Into fish hooks, fh •
baggage ear half buried Itself In the
sand on the riuht side of the loco-
motive. It was smashed almost to
kindling wed.
The dining car in which were tail-
Iy-t wo persons « ntinu their te1 I
meal, leaped Into the air and wa
thrown onto the top of the locomo-
tive. Nearly every person in the coach
was Instantly killed. Scores w> e
scalded h\ steam escaping from di
connect! d pipes in the kitchen <f the
diner.
The terror and turmoil of the scene
was Indescribable. Many of those
who escape,d instant death by the first
impact were crushed uy the rear
coaches hurled upon the wreckage
Others pinioned in the debris were
roasted alive. The wrecks^ • caught
fire from tho coals of the eng'uo, hut
this was extinguished in a few mln
utes by the pessengers who escaped
