A SLIGHT MISTAKE.
The Eyes Sometimes Deceive

There are a number OF experiences in
real life from which interesting facts can
be gathered. The treasurer of large
manufacturing concern, whose name need
not be given for the purpose of this
article, has been compelled to give up
drinking coffee on account OF its effects
upon his stomach and nervous system.
1t was suggested that he try the health
coffee, Postum Cereal, as that is made
of the healthful grains and takes the
place o { coffee very nicely.
He rather felt that it was a foolish step,
to undertake to use any article with the
expectation that it would take the place
of coffee which his family used of the
best grade of Mocha and Java mixed. How
ever. a package was ordered for the house
and next morning at breakfast the coffee
pot came on as usual; when the beverage
was poured out and served to him he
told the servant that he had ordered some
Postum, a new drink, and did not care for
the coffee.
A laugh went round the table and he
declined to believe that the rich liquid
with the aroma and fragrance that reached
his nostrils, was the health coffee. In
yestigation, however, convinced him of the
fact, and its use day by day without the
old sick feeling clinehes the argument.
Postum is made by the Postum Cereal
Co., Lim OF attlesCreek, Mich, and has
a winning way of its own when once intro
duced into the fanily4it answers every
purpose of the finest coffee without the
attendant aches ills, Being composed
strictly and wholly OF the pure cereals
there is no question Or argument or pos
siDle doubt regarding the healthful and
nourisbing properties, for. children as well
as adults.
There is but one genuine original Postum
Cereal coffee, with multitude of imita-
tions offered as ''j,lSt as good

THE LITTLE ROW IN SIAM.
The State Department Says There
Is No Cause for Action

The State Department Says There
Is y" Cause for Action.
The State Department has received a full
report of the Kellctt affair at Chengmai,
siam. from Minister Parrett. which indi-
Gates that ii was only trivial affair,
greatly exaggerated i'll Importance and
altogether that mountain was III ade from
an exceedingly small mole hill. 1t appears
that there has never been any occasion for
sending a United States gunhoat to Siam
On this account, and certainly no addi-
tIonal ship will be sent: nor is there any
anticipation of the slightest strain in the
relations between this country and Siam
1t seems that Mr. kellett, who is an un-
paid official appointed by the consul gen
eral, had sent two of his native servants
at night to post a letter, and one of them
carried a cane, contrary to law. He was
arrested and taken to jail. whence Mr.
kellett proceeded and endeavored to rescue
the prisoner without formality, and in the
kellett was struck about the head and his
face scratched
Later in the evening the servant was re-
leased by the Siamese commissioner who
sent servant to inquire after Mr. Kel
lett's injuries. Mr. Kellett said he had no
reply to make uBtil he comnunic ated with
the minister a Bangkok about the insult
that had been offered him. No doubt j 8
expressed at the State Department that
the matter has been satisfactorily ar
ranged by this time, the department tax
ing no action whatever.

The Tape and the Ticker

There was another dull and slow market
yesterday, a repetition OF the market of
the last few weeks. The drop was bad in
the morning, but there was something of
recovery before closing hours, and the
market closed only quarter or so lower
than yesterdays closed. The trading was
as usual, recently, entirely professional,
and there is as yet no disposition on the
part of the public to get into the market
This apathy of the general public, and
even of the professional traders (for they
are not doing much, either,) means further
declines almost surely. There seems no
prospect for a recovery during the short
session today, and the general opinion
was probably Well grounded that the mar
ket would even be Off further.
AS to the drop in the industrials, on
Thursday, and their further weakness yes
terday, it has probably about reached its
limit. There seems no good reason why
these ruInors tmostly fakes, probablyD
should further influence prices already
down. And the beginning of the week
may probably be counted on to witness
some revival in the trust stocks.

James ]. Corbett is without doubt the
strongest and most powerful athlete in the

render him the proper person to point out to
others the best way in which to obtain that
mighty strength of muscle, vigor of nerves
and perfect physical condition which is the
desire of every man and woman, for perfect
health is what all want, and good health
always comes only from sound physical yigor
and vitality.
What you must have, therefore, to make you
strong, to give you life, vim, energy and am
bition, to make you do your work with ease
to eat and sleep we'll and wake mornings fresh
and vigorous, is to see first of all if you are in
sound health. If you feel languid, weak or
nervous, if your work tires you and you wake
mornings unrefreshed, without appetite OF

you are on a dangerous road toYsickness and
