A GOOD THING When It Comes Along Don’t Let It Get Away From You. “I really feol that it is hardly pos sible to say too much in favor of Grape- Nuts as a health food.” writes a Chi cago woman. ‘‘For 9 or 10 years I had suffered from indigestion and chronic constipa tion, caused by the continued use of coffee and rich, heavy, greasy foods. My ailments made my life so wretched that I was eager to try anything that held out a promise of help. Am! that t is how I happened to buy a package of ' Grape-Nuts food last spring. “That ended my experiments. For in-Grape-Nuts I found exactly what I wanted and needed. Front the day 1 began to use it I noticed an improve ment and in a very few weeks I found tiny health completely restored. “My digestive apparatus now works perfectly and my chronic constipation has Veen entirely relieved. I have gained in weight materially, and life is pleasant thing to me so long as J fuse Grape-Nuts one or twice a day. 1 found by experiment that if'l leave it off for a few days my health saffers. , < ‘A physician in our town has great success in treating stomach troubles, aid the secret of it is that he puts his patients on Grape-Nuts food—it always bnngs back the power of digestion.” ‘‘There's .

Mr. Jones is a very efficient young mau. He is a college man, having spent several years in Trinity univer sity, Waxahachie, Texas, and has many friends there. Associations are giving up the old idea that any one can be office secretary, and are getting men of ability everywhere. An office wcretary comes in closer contact ri:h the entire membership than any other New office secretary of the Y. M. C. A. mau on the force of any association. Large things pre expected of Mr. J"ies. Russell S. Flower, boys’ work direct or, is a native of Vermont, but came here after spending several years io Springfield. Mass. Mr. Flower hns been in his present position eighteen months and has done very efficient work. Everything he has put bis hand to Jins prospered, and lie has won the respect of all, and the love of those who know him best. Mr. Flower resigned his position here several weeks .-'go to accept a larger work, boys’ work director for the state of Indiana. When Mr. Flow er received the call to this larger post ambition said “accept at once,” but he felt the want of a great work here and declined. Persistent calls camo, however, and after careful considera tion he put the matter in the hands f General Secretary A. G. Irons and though Mr. Trons and the rest of the official force of the local association regret very much to lose such an effi cient worker and companion he felt lie would not be the one to tie his hands, and that he must be permitted to go to the larger field of usefulness. On the same grounds with many regrets the board of directors accepted his res ignation. Mr. Flower will leave soon to take up his work in Indiana. REALLY, WOULD IT?

FOWLER MRS. EDMUNDS. RECOVERS HL HEU DIAMONDS Finds the Four Hundred Dollar Brooch Where It Was Thrown By Thief. POLICE HAVE THE RING Nerve of Plucky Little Woman Who Grappled With the Burly Negro Shaken. A formal affidavit will bo lodged against Henry Irvin, a negro, in Jus tice Fisk'.", court tomorrow, charging him with burglary and theft. The ne gro is still in the city jail and is suf fering from a badly sprained ankle re ceived during the long chase, which fin ally resulted in him being run down and captured by a crowd of men, women ana school children yesterday after hav ing ransacked the home of Mrs. Nor man Stuart Edmunds, 231 Florida street. Mrs. Edmunds telephoned police headquarters at 9 o’clock Inst night, in forming Captain McCabe that the dia mond brooch, said to be valued at $4OO. had been found. The valuable arti. ie was found lying in a basket on the rear gallery, where it had evidently been thrown by the negro in his attempt to < scape. The solitaire diamond ring, valued at $350, which was found short ly after the arrest of the negro, is be ing held at police headquarters. That the lawless element of San An tonio would be son rounded up and placed behind prison bars if they bad to cope with the wit and strategy of some of the women of the city was ttrikingly manifest Saturday forenoon when a large negro tried to rob Mrs. Edmunds of her diamonds and within a few minutes was in the toils of the law. “As I was engaged about the house Saturday morning, a negro came to my door about 11 o'clock and asked for a job of work, and as he appeared to be respectable and in nee.l 1 informed him he eould wash the buggy, which ho pro ceeded to do,” said . Mr- . Edmunds in Wine' of the encounter. “Thinking no more about the matter I went into the parlor and sat down to the piano. Shortly after a little baker boy called with some bread and going into the kitchen I found the screen door unfastened and the negro in the room. When inquiry was made who unlocked the door the negro anted that ‘he baker bo; - had done so to deliver the bread. gs new 19 exe=M=F “30” Selden 7 Passenger With Top A A IT* C E-M-F »3TWhh Top , . $1450 O I DI\VO» k — ~ Suspecting something wrong I asked him to go to the barn and rub off the horse, telling him I would give him 35 eents for the work. The negro acted nervous, saying a smaller amount would do. I’jion going to my purse I found that a ten dollar bill had been taken. The negro had passed out on the gal lery. 1 openly charged him with the theft, and informed him I was going to eall the police. He quietly took the bill from his pocket and dropped it on the gallery. Wishing.to pay the negro for his work and not having the change I told him to go to the residence of my mother and secure from her the 35 cents in change Still apprehensive, I follow ed the negro to the home of my mother, I fearful lest he might misrepresent the facts to her. After securing the change the negro said he had left his coat at my home and wished to return there and secure it. Preceding me, he went back to my house and was just in the act of leaving when I returned, but fearful tbaf he might have taken some ; thing more 1 invited him back under the pretense of offering him further work. Going to my rooms 1 then dis । covered that my diamonds were miss ing, and immediately asked him into the house with a view of locking him in. He stepped inside and immediately 1 hooked the screen. It was at this point, that I was at my wits cud, for I had locked myself in with a large, burly negro who had robbed the house of both my money and my diamonds. However, with a courage mustered from despera tion, I stepped in front of the negro and tried to block his way from escape, through the door. In this respect, how ) ever. I was helpless in his power, for| he easily pushed me aside and beat, a i hasty retreat across the yard and over the fence. I ran to the gate, and after; the negro, as fast as 1 eould run, alii the time screaming at the top of iny voice to attract attention to the fleeing! thief. . • “‘Stop that negro, he has my dia j monds,' I screamed, as I followed him: up the street. The neighbors and a com-| pany of school boys heard me. The boys! loft their game of football and made! chase after the fast running negro, who! was momentarily halted by a street car| conductor when the negro passed the: Sap railroad tracks. Some carpenters' working on a building also took up the chase and were among the first to cateh up with him The boys collected all available stones and hurled them at the negro, striking him several times. After passing over a wet, soft field the run ner became wearied and was easily over hauled by the boys and men. The ne gro was then bound and held until the arrival of the police, who had been tele-; phoned for.” Uj>on the arrival of the officers he was taken hack to the residence of Mrs Edmunds and positively identified by her.

The horse dealer patted the sturdy, shaggy Shetland. “This little chap's brothers on the islands of Unst, Yell, Brcssay, and Fetlar,” he said, “are having a hard time of it this winter weather. The Shetland peasants, as soon as the cold < l ines on. turn their ponies out to shift for themselves. On those high, rocky, barren islands, amid the powerful anil cold winds of winter, the ponies live on heather and seaweed, and it is in dubitable that in their hunger they even scour the wild coast for dead fish. “It is this life of exposure that gives the Shetland pony his shaggy coat.
