Tommy's mother had made him a present of a toy shovel and sent him out in the sand lot to play with his baby brother. "Take care of baby now, Tommy, and don't let anything hurt him," was mamma's parting in junction. Presently screams of anguish from baby sent the distracted parent flying to the sand lot "For goodness' sake, Tommy, what has happened to the baby?" said she, trying to soothe the walling infant. "There was a naughty fly biting him on the top of his head, and I killed it with the shovel," was the proud re ply. Exchange. An Entirely Selfish Theorist. "Do you believe in the theory of re Incarnation?" asked the serious girl. "You mean to ask if I think we'll keep coming back to the earth again and again?" rejoined the flippant young man. "Yes."

It had been a hard day in the field, and father and son were very hungry. The only. things eatable on the table were 12 very large apple dumplings.

It takes considerable courage for a doctor to deliberately prescribe only food fof a despairing patient, instead of resorting to the usual list of med icines. There are some truly scientific phy sicians among the present generation who recognize and treat conditions as they are and should be treated regard less of the val-'.e to their pockets. Here's an Instance: "Four years ago I was taken with severe gastritis and nothing would stay on my stomach, so that I was on the verge of starvation. "I beard of a doctor who has a sum mer cottage near me a specialist from N. Y., and as a last hope, sent for him. "After he examined me carefully he advised me to try a small quantity of Grape-Nuts at first, then as my atom acb became stronged to eat more.

My limbs got stronger and I could walk. So I steadily recovered. "Now, after a year on Grape-Nuts I weigh 153 lbs. My people were" sur prised at the way I grew fleshy and strong on this food."

MM Ktl v - GREAT LOVE STORIES - OF HISTORY By ALBERT PAYSON TERHUNE King James and Copyrttil bf An 11-year-old Scotch boy was cap tured In 1405 by English officials as he was on his way to France to be educated. The boy was James, only living son of King Robert III. of Scot land. England and Scotland were for ever quarreling with each other. So the capture of the latter country's little crown prince was looked on as a master stroke of diplomacy. Robert III. died the next year, after trying in vain to persuade the English king to set his son free. The lad at 12 became James I. of Scotland, and remained 18 years longer as a prisoner in Eng land. The English treated the boy kindly. Tho best tutors were provided for him. He was also taught the warlike accomplishments without which no thirteenth century youth's education was complete. The prisoner king as he grew to manhood won fame as an athlete and as a poet. Once ns he stood looking down from the window of his castlo prison he saw n tall, beau- A Roval tiful g,rl wantlor- ultr 1,18 among lhe roses and lilies in the garden below. At first sight the lonely man was attracted by her love liness, and he became henceforth her devoted slave. So eloquently did he plead his suit that the maiden soon returned his love. She was Idy Joan Beaufort, daugh ter of the earl of Somerset and kins woman to the English King Henry IV. In her honor James wrotu a poem entitucd "Ye Kingis Quhair" ("The King's Booklet"), and he consecrated his life to her service. Now a match between these two was just what Eng land most desired. It would form a bond between the two rival countries and would, perhaps, make English in fluence strong In Scotland. So James and Joan were permitted to marry. Their wedding was celebrated in Feb ruary, 1424. Then England allowed the Scotch to ransom their captive king for $200,000, and the young cou ple, rejoicing in their freedom, Jour neyed north to reign over Scotland. Their descendant, James VI. of Scot land, was destined to become James I. of England, and thus unite the two kingdoms. The newly released monarch found his kingdom in a terrible condition. The country was ruder and more law less than England. It was overrun with corrupt politics. The powerful nobles oppressed the poor and took to themselves almost royal privileges. Laws were ill-enforced. Everywhere the hand of a master was urgently Martin Luther and The most-talked-ot man In Europe in 1525 fell in love with a nun. He himself was a former monk. The man was Martin Luther, the famous re former, who had declared Ills Inde pendence of the churchly customs of the day; and who not only placed the Bible Into the hands of the plain peo ple, but was the founder of the Protes tant creed In Germany. Luther, arter casting loose from the established church, continued to preach his doctrines (often at risk of his life) and to gain new converts by the thousands. Among these converts was a pretty nun named Catherine von Bora. Catherine, while very young, had entered a convent near Grlmma, Germany. News of Luther's teachings reached her and she was soon won over to his way of thinking In regard to religious matters. She went so far as to convince eight other nuns that Luther's opinions were right. Then the nine women decided to give up convent life. But to make such a de cision and to act upon U were two quite different things. In her perplex ity Catherine wrote to Luther for aid. Luther was touched by her appeal. Through tho help of a friend he man aged to get Catherine and her eight friends out of the convent one night Escape from i" 1523: the Convent. "pe. of the nlne nuns caused a great sensation. Now that they were freed from the convent, Luther did not quite know how to dispose of them. He prevailed upon tho relatives of aome to take them Into their homes, and he advised others to marry. But Catherine was not so easily settled In life. She was pretty, and only 24 years old. She was also what would aow be called a "new woman." She lid not relish the idea of being mar led out of hand to any man her rela tives might chance to select for her. Moreover, she had secretly fallen In love with Luther himself. Wise as the reformer was, he had not the wit to see this. So be proposed to her that she marry one of bis friends. She re fused in disgust. He suggested an other friend; then another. She still refused. At length in despair .he isked her to name some man she was vllllng to marry. She1 calmly 'hamed he astonished Lutber himself. Luther, though surprised, liked the dea. Ha, had cast off the monk's :owl and felt he was no longer bound by his former vows of celibacy. He had written treatises advising formor priests to marry. Why not set the ixample? So he accepted Catherine's luggestlon and on June 11, 1525, ho tud tho ex-nun wero wedded. She was G, he was 42. Lutber bad the wed Joan Beaufort lb Auuor. needed. James had a tremendously difficult task before him. Those who looked on him only as a dreamy, love sick poet thought he would bo content to let matters rest as they were. Hut they were mistaken. With an iron hand he subdued the haughty nobles, crushed misrule, put traitors to death, made wise laws and In count less ways built up the country and re formed its government. For twelve years he and Jonn reigned. Under their rule the land prospered. But the nobles hated the king who had de prived them of their power. A num ber of these noblemen at last con spired against him. The leader of the conspiracy was Sir Robert Graham. With a band of assassins Graham planned to seize and murder the king at the first safe opportunity. James and Joan with their children and a small party of attendants rode to Perth to spend Christmas at the monastery there. On the road thither a wild-eyed old Highland woman who had the name of being a prophetess threw herself In front of the king and Implored him to turn back, declaring that he rode to his death. James, against his wife's advice, paid no heed to the strange warning. Late that night Graham and his accomplices, with 300 Highland clansmen, sur rounded the monustery and broke down its doors. There was a cellar under JameB bedchamber. In this vault the king and Joan were thrust by their fuithful servants. The bar on A Fiaht 'lis bedchamber for Life (l00r nad ,)een Tor me. gtolen. So Cath erine Douglas, one of Joan's maids of honor, passed her arm through the Iron loops that had held the bars. She heroically kept her arm there until It was broken by the pressure of the as sassins' shoulders from the outside. Then Graham and his men burst Into the room. They found the trapdoor leading to the vault and sprang upon the doomed monarch. Joan threw her self between her husband and his foes and was wounded by a sword thrust. The king fought gallantly and slew two of his assailants before he was overcome and murdered. Joan amply avenged his death. She had the country scoured for the as sassins, and as each was caught and put to death by horrible torture she whispered the captured man's name In the ear of her dead husband. The last seized was the leader, Sir Robert Graham. This name Joan did not whisper, but shouted it In tri umph over James' coflln. Catherine Von Bora ding ring made in the form of a cruci fix. The uuion was very happy, and six children were born to the oddly-mated couple. Luther was poor. Catherine had no money at all. The husband s meager pay as a professor kept them alive, but they were never well-to-do. It was a hard, ceaseless struggle against poverty. Catherine proved also to have a rather unpleasant temper; and her wrathful lectures concerning her hus band's various shortcomings led Lu ther once to remind her that he and u u j. not she was the Jolly Husband; . , Scolding Wife. famly He also wrote to her, In playful vein, remind ing her that the original wife, Eve. had been formed of man's rib, and adding: "My rib, Kit, thou most learned dame, Catherine Luther! Ah, Kit, thou shouldst never preach. How much these same ribs have to answer for. ... If I were going to make love again I would carve an obedient wom an out of marble, In despair of finding one In any other way!" Luther, In spite of the cares and dangers that pressed upon him from every side, had a merry disposition, and took his wife's rages as a Joke. She, in spite of her bad temper and scolding tongue, loved her husband devotedly. When, after 21 vears of Htedded life, ho died, she was incon solable. Luther left his family wretchedly poor. To support herself and her large brood of children Catherine was forced to keep a boarding house. But she did not long survive the man she so deeply mourned. Six years after Lu ther's death she followed him to the grave. The Human Fire Place. "The body is a manufactory," oald a doctor recently. "It has to manufac ture bone and blood and muscle and brain out of bread and butter, ega, beef and milk, and a wonderful pro cess it Is. Now, tho first part of the process takes place in the mouth, and, as In most factories, the first Is the most important. If a wrong start Is made, everything that follows Is put wrong. If the food isn't well masti cated and mixed with the saliva, the stomach, the liver and tho intestines are thrown out of gear. "Consequently, most of the younger doctors, the more advanced doctors, are paying a great deal of attention to the condtlon of their pati-ints' tectb.
