GOT HIS SOBRIQUET EARLY
“Honest John" Kelly Proved His Right
to the Title Long Before
Manhood.’
There have been many stories about
the manner in which "Honest John"
Kelly, the ex-umpire, first got his nick
name. Mr. Kelly himself, according
to a New York letter, holds that It
came to him naturally, for even as a
small boy the purity of his soul shone
through his face. “I think the first
time 1 was ever called Honest John’
was when I was quite a youngster,”
said Kelly. "A mau engaged as an
anibulutory salesman of tinware ob
served the Ingenious countenance I
presented to the world and hailed me.
'You look honest, boy,” said he. 'What
might your name be?’ 'John,' said 1,
quite simply. ‘John’ —Just like that.
‘Then hold my horse while 1 go In
the saloon and get a drink,' said he.
And so 1 held his horse while he went
In the saloon and got u drink. But
this was on lower Ninth avenue, in a
day when the avenue's honors went
to the man who could clean the most
cops in a given time. By and by the
gang came along and beheld that
wagon full of tinware. The peddler
was detained within by a sore thirst,
and they took the tinware. And then
they came hack and look the cush
ions off the wagon. Eventually, be
coming daring, they unhitched the
wagon and look It away. True to my
trust. I stood there, holding the horse.
And by and by the peddler came out
of the saloon and sized up the situa
tion. ’Well,’ said lie warmly, ’you’re
Honest John, all right. You saved the
I horse.’ ”

Now About Clean Food
When the "Weekly” which sued us for libel
(because we publicly denounced them for an
editorial attack on our claims) was searching
for some "weak spot.” they thought best to
eend a N. Y. A tty. to Battle Creek, summoned
25 of our workmen and took their sworn state
ments before a Commissioner.
Did v.e object? No. On tho contrary, we
helped nil we could, for tho opportunity was
too good to be lost.

of the processes were carried on behind closed
doors.

COMING HIS WAY.
“What luck, my boy?”
“Oh! pretty fair. I got six winders,
two lamp posts and one silk hat al
ready.”

Time is a relative quantity. Some
minutes seem like hours, and some
hours seem like minutes. How to con

but the little boy mentioned bolow
seems to have progressed pretty well
for a youngster.
The teacher was surprised to see
that he remained perfectly idle all
through recess, and accordingly asked
him why he did not play.
“ ’Cause,” he said, slowly, "it makes
recess too quick if I play, and I want
it to la-a-ast!"—Youth’s Companion.
Same Thing.
Joakley—You’re right; most people
worry over what they haven’t got,
but I know certain people who worry
because of what they have.

Apt Quotation of Brer Reuben Saved
Hia Mule and at the Same Time
Rebuked Sin.
Elder Harris was making another
attempt to induce one of the members
of his flock to trade horses with hint.
"Dat pony o’ your’n. Brer Reuben,'*
he said, "is Jes' what I want, an' my

twentieth time. "I don' keer t' make

"But I Jes' natclielly got t' have dat

"Elder." spoke the other, after a
I period of profound thought. “I been
wantin’ t' ast yo' a question for a long
j time.”
j "Well, what is it?”
! "I know w'at one o’ de 'postles says

Bring Out Facts
He testified the workmen were first-class,
high-grade and inspected by th© Co.'s physi
cian to be sure they were all iu proper phys
ical condition; also testified that state reports
showed that Co. pays better wages than the
average and he thought higher than any in
the state.
F. B. Martin. Asst. Supt., testified Grape-

years. Worked in Grape-Nuts bake shop.
Testified the whole of the flour is composed of
Wheat und Barley. Attys. tried to confuse
him. but he insisted that any casual visitor
could see that nothing else went into the flour.
Said machinery and floors always kept clean.
So these men were examined by the “Week
ly” lawyers hoping to find at least one who
would say that some under-grade grain was
put in or some unclean condition was found
somewhere.
But It was no use.
Each and every man testified to the purity
and cleanliness.
As a sample, take the testimony of Luther
W. Mayo.
Testified been with Company about 10 years.

ing Grape-Nuts. Testified that the ovens and
floors are kept clean and the raw products as
they go In are kept clean. Also that the

The fool said one day In the king’s
presence, "I am the king!" And the
king laughed, for ho knew that his fool

fool laughed, for he knew thut his
king was right.—Smart Sot.

The young man waited for the mill
ionaire’s reply.
"I don’t blame you for wanting to
marry my daughter," said the latter.
"And now how much do you suppose
you and she can worry along on?”
The youth brightened up.
"I—l think," he cheerfully stam
mered, "that $200,000 well invested,
would produce a sufficient income."
The millionaire turned back to ills
papers.
"Very well," he said, "I will give
you SIOO,OOO, providing you raise a
similar amount.”
And the young man went away sor

which you have gained In your ten years at
tho factory you believed that they were dirty
or impure In any way, would you use them?
A. I do not think I would. No.
Asked If any one on behalf of the Company
had asked him to testify In any particular
manner. Stated “No.”
All these sworn depositions were carefully
excluded from the testimony nt the trial, for
they wouldn’t sound well for the "Weekly.”
Think of the fact that every man swore to
the purity and cleanliness to that the Atty.
for the “Weekly” was forced to say in open
court that the food was pure and good.
What a disappointment for the "Weekly!”
