DECLARES HE. SPENT $15,000 TO GET THE OBJECTIONABLE ADVERTISEMENT PRINTED AND WILL SPEND MORE."

(New York Times.) Papers were served yesterday na C. W. Post of Battle Crf-ek, Mich., President of the Postum Cereal Company, Ltd., manufacturers or "Postum" and "Grape-Nuta," and Bradley Garretson, the New York manager of the company in a suit for $750,000 damages brought against the company by the

proprietors and the editor of Collier's Weekly. The complainants allege that an advertisement signed by the company and printed widely in newspapers throughout this country and Europe on September 4 was libelous. There are three complainants, Peter F. Collier, Robert Collier,, the owners of the magazine and Norman F. Hapgood, the editor, each asking? for $250,000 damages, Charles E. Kelley, associate of James V. Osborne, counsel for Collier's, announced also that he bad every reason to believe that Mr. Post wrote the advertisement himself, and that criminal proceedings would be brought against him personally at once. Mr. Post admitted yesterday to a Times reporter that he wrote the

advertisement complained of. The trouble started over an editorial which appeared in the issue of Collier's for July 27. It read in part: "One widely circulated paragraph labors to include the impression that Grape-Nuts will obviate the necessity of an operation for appendicitis. This Is lying and, potentially, deadly lying. "Similarly, Postum continually makes reference to the indorsement of 'a distinguished physician' or 'a prominent health official', persona as mythical, doubtless, as they are mysterious." $15,000 to Have It Printed. Mr. Post replied in a half-column advertisement which he admits cost him $15,000 to have printed. The particular paragraph to which the Colliers and Mr. Hapgood object, read: "When a Journal willfully prostitutes Its columns to try and harm a reputable manufacturer in an effort to force him to advertise, it is time the public knew the facts. The owner or editor of Collier's Weekly cannot force money from us by such methods." The entire article was couched in such strong terms that several New York papers communicated with Collier's before they published it. In all cases, however, the magazine gave permission for the printing of the advertisement. Taking up the statements made in Collier's editorial with reference to the legitimacy of the medical indorsements of Grape-Nuts and Postum, Mr. Post's advertisement said: "We are here to wager Collier's Weekly or any other skeptic or liar, any amount of money they care to name and which they care to cover, that we will produce proof to any board of investigators that we have never yet published an advertisement announcing the opinion of a prominent physician or a health official on Postum or GrapeNuts when we did not have the actual letter in our possession." The complainants also take exception to another paragraph, which reads: "Some time ago the manager

of Collier's Weekly got very cross

with us because we would not contin ue to advertise in his paper."

The complainants declare that the

contract with the Postum company was broken off by themselves after a long correspondence with the company, In which it practically pleaded to have the advertising continued.

Mr. Davis won, and Miss Maxwell threw her arm about the neck of the horse, saying: "O, I love you, you beauty." "So do I love beauty-and you too," said Mr. Davis, and it is reported that the engagement was made, on the spot.

THEY GAVE THE BALLS.

And the People Danced to Pay the Debts of Louis XIV. In 1712 Ixmls XIV. favored the opera, then established In the first salle of the Palais Royal (there have been two), with a special mansion for the better accommodation of its administration, archives and rehearsals. This hotel is situated in the Rue Nicaise. The. building was generally designated under the name of Magasia, whence the term Filles du Magasin (not de magasin), which was applied not only to the female choristers and supers, but to the female dancers themselves. It so happened that the king forgot to pay his architects and workmen. In order to satisfy them the Chevalier de Bouillon conceived the idea of giving balls in the opera house, for which idea he received an annual pension of 0,000 francs. He was paid, but the king's debtors were not, for, although the letters ratent were granted somewhere about' the beginning of 1713. not a single ball had been given when the most magnificent of the Bourbon sovereigns descended to his grave. One day shortly after his death d'Argenson, the then lieutenant of police, was talking to Louis' nephew. Philippe d'Orleans, the regent. Monfclguore," he said, "there are people who go about jelling that his majesty of blessed memory was a bankrupt and a thief. I'll have them arrestetl and have them flung Into some deep underground dungeon." "You don't know what you are talking about," was the answer. "Those people must be paid, and then they'll cease to bellow." "But how, monsignore?" "Let's give the balls that were projected by Bouillon." So said, so done, and the people danced to pay Louis XIV.'s debts, as. according to Shadwell, people drank to fill Charles II.'s coffers: The king's most faithful subjects we In 's service are not dull. We drink to show our loyalty And make his coffers full. London Saturday Review. A SERIOUS LAUGH.

The Penalty of Mirth at an Ancient Church Celebration. There was a church celebration of a rather exciting nature many years ago in Lynn, Mass. The occurrences marking the dedication of the Old Tunnel Meeting house in 1GS2 are recorc.cil by an eyewitness and quoted in Obadiah Oldpath's "Lin." After the formal ceremony of dedication a feast was held. Ye dinner was In ye greate barne of Mr. Hood. While we were at table a rooster flew to ye beam over our beads. Mr. Richardson, ye Newbury minister, in a very loud voise and stately mien proclaimed that tho ye house was a noble temple it yet was but a fit casket for ye godly jewel of Lin. Whereupon a most lusty crow was set up by ye old cock on ye beam, and he flapped his wings, sending ye dust down on to ye table. Ye companie hurled apples at ye misbehaving fowle, but, not being of good aim, did not hit, and with' a whirring noise it flew to ye ground as if in disgust. Mr. Gerrish was in a merrie mool. Not having his thots about him, he endeavored ye dangerous performance of gaping and laughing at ye same tim3. Ia doing so he set his jaws open in such a wise that 'it was beyond his power to bring them back again, llis agonie was very greate, and his joyfu laugh was soon turned to grievousgroaning. We did our utmost to stay the an guish of Mr. Gerrish. but could make out but little tilt Mr. Rogers, wlu knoweth something of anatomie. dl bid ye sufferer to sit down on ye floor and, taking his head between his legs, turning ye face upward as much as possible, gave a powerful blow an sudden press, which brought ye jiw again into working order.

A Felicitous Aside. A senator, describing a campaigo wherein he had outgeneraled a rival, said: "When it became plain that victory was mine, when my opponent's fac began to grow darker and more forbidding, I smiled to myself. I could have muttered to myself some such felicitous aside as that which came from the small boy who was being ppanked. In the course of his spanking the boy's mother paused to say in sincere tones: " 'Tommy, this hurts me far more than It does you.' "And thereupon In his odd, face downward position the boy winked and muttered to himself : " 'I was afraid that hard board I put In the seat of my trousers might injure her delicate hand. "

Got It Overboard. Once while ia a foreign port Admiral Dewey ordered the heaviest hoisting tackle in the ship to be got out of the hold without delay. Nobody knew .what it was for, as there was nothing just at that time, either heavy or light, to he taken on board or sent ashore. After two hours' hard work the tackle was in place, and Dewey then ordered that a large chew of tobacco which had been thrown undef cne of the guns be hoisted overboard and dumped into the sea.

THERE WAS MUCH BUSINESS OF IMPORTANCE BEFORE THE WESTERN YEARLY MEETING OF FRIENDS, MONDAY. Plainfield, Ind., Sept. IT. "In its decision of June 25, 117, the supreme court of Indiana admitted, or rather proclaimed, that it did not know right from wrong. For my part, not one of these men will ever receive another vote for office from me." A large crowd heard Judge Samuel R. Artman of Lebanon make this statement last night at the Friends church in his address before the Western

yearly meeting of Friends on "The Constitutionality of the Licensed Saloon." The statement was received with loud applause, and one of the ministers called out: "Vote for Artman." Judge Artman referred to the unfavorable action of the supreme court on his decision in which he declared that the licensing of saloons by the state is unconstitutional. At the beginning of last night's session reports from sixteen quarterly meetings on the temperance question were read and accepted. The speaker

of the evening was then introduced by Charles E. Newlin, chairman of the state prohibition party. Mr. Newlin stated that Judge Artman had covered 1..o miles and had spoken In thirty-

five states during his recent lecture tour. Judge Artman said that saloons had been declared Inherent evils and producers of crime by the supreme courts, of Massachusetts and of the United States. "Four states," he said, "have adopted prohibition. What is morally wrong can not, as some people argue, be a legal right." He declared a li

cense is not a restriction, but that it is a permit to set aside a restriction existing according to the law and constitution of the state against the selling

of intoxicants.

Suggests a Remedy. "What we need to secure prohibi

tion." said the speaker, "is more rigm enforcement of the laws now in existence. When we have done away with political rings dominated by the liquor interests we will have done away with the saloon question. No court of last appeal can decide a question. It may decide a particular case, but the people must decide the question."

The assembly passed a resolution

thanking the speaker and indorsing his policy.

Monday's services began with a de-

vcJtional meeting in the tent. Tent

meetings are a departure from the

customary programs of yearly meet

ings, and were started this year by the Rev. Louis E. Stout, superintendent of the evangelistic and devotional departments. They have been received by the visiting ministers with much favor and promise to become one of the established features of future meetings. Reports were read concerning the condition of the Society of Friends all

over the world. Special stress, how

ever, was put upon the work of the churches in this yearly meeting, which includes 115 congregations in Indiana and Illinois. The statistics were first read showing exactly what work has been done in each of the church departments, the delegates thus obtaining a definite idea of the scope of each department. The condition of the church was then carefully discussed in detail under six separate heads, as follows: Spiritual condition of members; attendance at meetings; family devotions; conduct in business dealings; use of tobacco and intoxicants, and amusements and recreation. The report showed the general condition of the churches to be prosperous. , The report of the Woman's Foreign Missionary board was given. The missionary work of the church i3 In ex

cellent condition, but is in need of

funds to carry out its plans. An address was delivered by Morton C. Pierson on the missionary work in foreign lands. The reports of the reports of the American Friends Board of Foreign missions and of the nominating committee on that board were

read and considered. The excellent

work of the Friends in Africa was shown in the report of the Friends African Industrial mission, which Is doing splendid work among the savage blacks of that country. Letters from Friends missionaries who are now la the field were read.
