A pretty story of Miss Ellen Terry
and a gallant young playwright has
gone the rounds of the Players’ club
Miss Terry attended in New York
the first night of this playwright’s
latest work and at the end of the
third act he was presented to her.
She congratulated him warmly
“It is very good." she said. "Your
play is very good. Indeed, and I shall
send all my American friends to see
it.”
"In that case." said the playwright,
with a very low and courtly bow. "my
little piece will sell 90.000 000 tickets.”
They Both Knew.
The fool said on» day in the king's
presence, "I am the king!” And the
king laughed, for he knew that his tool
was wrong.
A week later the king was angry, be
cause of an error he had committed,
and exclaimed: "1 am a fool!" And the
fool laughed, for he knew that his
Lttig was right.—Smart Set.

FarisMioner's Remark. However. Left
Young Minister Somewhat in
in the Dark.
Rer. Henry R. Rose in the Newark
Star Seiis the story of a young min
ister who haU recently taken charge
of a small parish in Vermont. He
aspired to greater things and a large
field, and in the hope that his reputa
tion would travel beyond the limits of
the village to a hich he had been sent
he threw into his sermons all the
force and eloquence at his command.
He was. however, totally unprepared
for what was intended for a compli
ment. but w hich was put to him in
such a way that it left him in doubt
an to the real impression he had made.
One Sunday morning, after an espe
cially brilliant effort, he was greeted
by an old lady, who was one of the
most faithful attendants at all serv
ices. Approaching the young minister,
she said: Ah. sir. we do enjoy your
sermons so much, they are so in
structive. Do you believe it. we never
knew what sin was until you came to
the parish."

When the “Weekly” -whirl; sued ns for libel
(because we publicly denounced them for an
editorial attack on our claims 1 was searching
for seme “weak spot,” tiey thought best to
send a N. Y. Atty. to Cattle Creek, summoned
ha of our workmen and took their sworn state
ments belore a Coaiiausioner.
Did we object? No. On the contrary, we
helped all we could, for the opportunity was
too good to be lost.
Geo. Haines testified be inspected tfce wheat
and barley, also floors and every part of the
factories to know things were kept clean.
That every 30 minutes a sample of the pro
ducts was taken and inspected to keep the
food up to standard and keep out any impur

the factories to see that anything not right

Co. 10 years.
Edward Young testified had been with Co.
15 years. Inspector, he and his men exam
ined every sack and car of wheat and barley

H. E. Burt. Snpt., testified has been with
Co. over 13 years Bought only the best
grain obtainable. That the Co. kept a corps
of men w-ho do nothing but keep things clean,
bright and polished.
Testified that no ingredient went into Grape
Nuts and Postum except those printed in the
advertising. No possibility of any foreign
things getting into the foods as most of the
machinery is kept closed. Asked if the fac
tory is open to the public, said “yes“ and “it
took from two to three guides constantly to
show visitors through the works.” Said none
of the processes were carried on behind closed
doors.
At this point ettys. for the ’'Weekly” tried
to show the water used was from some out
side source. Testified the water came from
Co.'s own artesian wells and was pure.
He testified the workmen were first-class,
high-grade and inspected by the Co.'s physi
cian to be sure they were all in 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

Testified bakers are required to wear fresh

Testified the whole of the flour is composed of
Wheat and Barley. A ttys, 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 un lean condition was found
somewhere.
But it was no use.
Each and every man test:fled to the puritv
and cleanliness.
As a sample, take the testimony of Luther
W. Mayo.
Testified been with Company about 10 years.
Now working in the bakery department mak
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

Q I>o ron use Postum or Grape-Nuts your
telf at all?
A. Yes. I use them at heme.
Q If from your knowledge of the factory
T-hich you hare gained in your ten years at
the factory you believed that they were dirty
or impure in any way. would you use them?
A. I do not think I would. No.
Ashed if any one on behalf of the CompaL >
had asked him to testify in anv particular
manner. Stated "No."
All these sworn depositions were car'-fully
excluded from the testimony at the trial, for
thev wouldn’t sound well for the “Weekly.”
Think of the fact that every man swore to
the parity and cleanliness so that the A tty
for the “Weekly” was forced to ssy in open
court that the food was pure and good.
What a disappointment for the “Weekly!'
Tint the testimony showed:
All of the grain used in Grape-Nuts, Postam
ana fost ~1 oasties is the inghest standard
; I'Sihie to c !■ cm. --
A:1 parts c.f the factory are kept scrupulous
