FROM Land Of Srnshfns. Los Angeles.
While every American has, in our Ambassador
TO England, that undivided interest Of the frac-
tionnl master in the public servant. there is
upon our present representative OF st. James's
an unusual local lien. For 1t was not more Mr..
Mckinley than q gentleman Of Los Angeles who
sent Col. John Hay to keep the lions fur smooth
to us-ward.
However much their graduated author may
look down upon those first achievements, 1t is
not the Life OF Lincoln" but the Pike County
Ballads that have been his making. As a his
torian Mr.. Hay is assiduous. sincere, and-a re-
corder. AS the troubadour OF pike he was and
will remain q classic; and 1t is better to be q
backwoods classic than a metropolitan medi-
ocritv. But for Little Brooches" and its ire
mendous vogue he would hardly have come into
the Century with Lincoln: but for the Century
he never would have gone to Great Britain short
OF his own proper expense; and but for an lowan
now gracefully growing gray in Los Angeles,
there would have been no Little Brooches -
for Hays masterpiece rests upon a true story.

IMITATION COFFEE.
The Name Not Fancied by Postum
Cereal Company.

| Coffee drinkers may be interested to
know the opinion of some competent
| physicians in regard to the use of Pos
tum, the grain drink, in place of coffee.
| Let it be understood that the manufac
turers do not decry the use of coffee by
healthy persons, but there is a great
army of intelligent men and women of
the present day who cannot stand the
steady, daily poison of coffee, tobacco
and whisky without feeling the effect
in some serious bodily arrangement.
DR.. F. F. Cassidy, editor of the Med
ical Argus" Minneapolis, Minn., writes.
! inclosing the money for a third case,
and is kind enough to add: Il fully CO.

use of coffee and tobacco by neuras-
themes nervous patients). l am using
Postum Food Coffee every day and am
greatly pleased with it,"
A great many people who are not
keenly sensitive in their coffee tastes,
state that Postum tastes SO much like
coffee that they do not notice the differ
ence when it is served at breakfast.
The makers do not claim, however,
that it has exactly the same taste as
| the finest coffee. 1t has exactly the
same color, and is just as piquant and
| pungent in its taste as the finest Mocha
! coffee, but the taste is distinct and be-
! longs to Postum alone.
1t is made by the Postum Cereal Co.,
| Linn, of Battle Creek, Mich, and it is
not an imitation of any drink, but
stands on it's own footing as wonder
fully palatable and delicious table drink,
thoroughly healthful and nourishing.
and is made strictly of the grains. 1t is
impossible for anyone to judge of the
perfection of the product without a
careful personal test of it.
There are thousands of people using
| Postum, the health coffee, in place of
coffee, and who have been benefited in
their health to an extent that COM
mands their esteem and warm friend

Miss Marge1ia Bean Drummond.

1t was with sadness that the friends of
Hon. ]. q. ..Drummond and his family re-
ceivsd the news yesterday morning of the
sudden death during the night. of Mr..
Drummond's youngest daughter. Miss
Marqelia B. Drummond. She returned
several weeks ago from pleasant visit
TO friends in Boston. Soon after she was
called to the bedside of her sister, Mrs.
w. G. Chapman, who was very sick and
for some days was in considerable
danger. The anxiety occasioned by the
Illness of her sister and other mem bers of
the family exhausted her nervous system
and she also had all attack Of the grippe,
accompanied by pleuriss and heart
trouble Tuesday night she was apparent
Iy better and it was hoped she was on the
road to recovery. but she PASSED away
without warning, from failure of the
heart.
Miss Drummond was lady of singu-
larry sweet disposition aud rare unselfsh-
ness, She constantly sacrificed herself
for the benefit of her friends, and with
her sunny smile and winning ways made
herself the light of the household. She
was idolized by her nephews and nieces,
who will sadly miss her. Her loss is a
s,yere blow to her father aud mother, for
they depended on her far more than they
ever realized. Her brother and sisters,
TOO, will feel her absence kesnly for
many months to come. TO her bereaved
family wide circle of friends extend
their most cordial sympathy, but are
powerless to bring comfort to hearts
wrung with grief, knowing that time only
can heal the wound.
The deceased was born in Portland,
June il, 1866. Her death is the first break
that has ever occurred In Mr.. Drum
mond's Immediate family, all his chill
dren and their children being alive until
