The Alexandra BAKING Powder Is
the Best and Cheapest.

For more than five years this
Baking Powder has be- en- in use in
this market. Some 200, 900 cans have
been sent out with request that 1t Il
did not give satisfaction they should
be returned, and none ever came
back This is good evidence that
they gave general satisfaction.
The retail price OF the Alexandra
baking powder is 20 cents pound.
The other best stan dard brands are 80
cents pr pound, and it takes double
the quantity it does of the Alexandra
baking powder, which makes it cost
0fuy times as much.
There are other baking powders
sold here as low as 10 cents per lib
but, like the high priced powders, it
takes two teaspooufuls to each quart
Of -four. The Alexandra requires only
one, and that makes % cents worth

Higgins Writes Another Short Tale.
DR. B OF Nashvllle, Tenn, was a
very fine conversationalist. The ladies
all loved to hear him, and for hours
would sit In a parlor with their
tongues still listening to this splendid
tslker, DR.. B. This sane Dr. b
smoked cigars, and would often retire
from the parlor to smoke. la his
aoserc &c the ladies', at one OF these
impromptu meetings, appointed a
committee to ask DIR b. to stop s,nok
Ing. They waited on the doctor and
said, CDR. B., we all love to hear you
talk and we don't like for you to
smoke We think smoking is your
greot tutH"
To this DR. b replied Ladies,

THE BOY CAME BACK TO BE SHOT.
A Touching Story of the French Com,


The order had been issued to Paris
in 1871 by the new republican authorI-
ties that communist insurgents who
were taken with arms in their hands
should be put to death Immediately.
So writes French correspondent.
The order was being relentlessly exc
cuted, when. in the garden Of the
/ Elysee Palace, detachment of repub-
llcan troops came upon n small band
of insurgents. Among them was a
boy of ID years. still in short trousers.
The band was conducted 10 larger
party of communists destined for exc
cution. On the way the 15-year old
broke out from among his companions
| and placed himself. in front Of the Col
onel who commanded the escort.
Making the military salute with
good deal of grace, he said:
Mister, you're going to shoot me, l
suppose?"
Certainly, my lad" said the Col
onel. Taken with arms in your
hands, it's all up with you. That is
the order"
"All right" said the boy, "but see

so much for the amusement of human

HER SCHEMES WERE ALL IN vAia.
The Mans Stupidity Frustrated All Her
Weli-LGid Plans.

1t was at the hotel table. and they
looked suspiciously like a bridal cOu-
pie, but their conversation seemed tc
disprove the theory. He had explain
ed in rather loud tones that he had
sewed the loop on his oyercoat with
white thread and she had told him
that if he'd had any ingenuity he could
have made it black by drawing it
through the ink bottle. SO that every
one could see they were "old married
people," for, of course. q bride would
have reproachfully asked him why he
hadn't let her do it.
Then they began to order their dim
ner.
"Will you have red-head duck or q
mallard?" he asked
I'm sure don't know" she return
ed airily. Il don't know the differ
blue-eyed pheasant"
This tlippancy Disconnected him for
a moment, but he seemed to remember
something and went on:
"W ell, how do some broiled quails
strike you?"
"Broiled or stewed, its immaterial
to me" she answered nonchalantly.
Then he became cross and delivered
himself OF an opinion.
See here, Alice, you've got to de-
eide. don't want to 90 and order
something for our first dinner"
And then he suddenly paused as
Alice moaned.
"Oh, hush. l knew you'd forget.
You've given it away after all my at
tempt TO seem 50 old-marricd, Oh,

And the hearers thought again of
the stupidity Of man-and how it ruth
lessly destroys all that the finesse of
woman aecomplishes. And they also
wondered again why the victims of a
wedding Journey should regard them
selves as criminals.

A Hint to Wine Bibbers.

Gentlemen who are frequent high
banqueters or who often stay in town
of nights to look into the spiral stems
of champagne glasses should never
drink without sardines and soft bread
beside their elbows. says the St. Louis
Globe Democrat. These two articles
will save more jags and red noses than
all the medicines in the world. The
bread if eaten freely as often as the
liquor is taken will absorb most of the
alcohol and the oil of the fish will float
the rest on top of the stomach. Thus
the delicate lining of the food sack
will be saved from injury and its
owner from dizziness. foolishness and
finally unconsciousness. The salt in
the sardines is an excellent agent in
cleaning and putting the stomach in
healthy shape after Il wine supper.
The average life Of a coin is q years.
