There used to be a preacher in
Gilead in war times" said a Lewiston
man today who had very patriotic
ideas concerning the Union. He had
also pair of white hands and very
womanish mouth. as | remember it. In
the same town was citizen. a big six
foot farmer named for short Uncle
Josh. He was an awful copperhead,
and was always talking it. too. The
men had all gathered for a town meet
ing in the spring of 1863 and We're
waiting for the moderator to COM
n1ence. Uncle Josh was in the yard
outside. holding forth for dear life in
this wise: I tell We if they want them
niggar slaves they have a right to 'em.
We haint got nothing to say. If we
subjugate the South we shall suffer for
it, 1 don't believe much in the Union.
any way The minister was just COM
ing into the yard, tall and stiff. and
ministerial looking. in his suit of black.
and his white necktie. He carried a
Bible in one hand and a cane in the
other When he heard Uncle Josh. he
stopped and turned pale. His little
mouth with it's Cupid's bow grew
straight as a knife-blade. and throw
ing off his coat and rolling up his
sleeves, he called out, Joshua, you
take back those words, or I'll stuff EN-
down your throat! Both men were
about forty-five and well proportioned
and the crowd grew excited. Uncle
Josh hesitated minute and then took
them back. Lewiston Journal.

them to stop they did not pay any atten-

a switch which he had in his hand. and

the game was up they allowed the officer

the old man of the occurrence The lat

The Science Of Making
Money.

A man who can make money in legiti
mate business enterprises in times like
these. surely has his methods reduced t
a science, and yet strange to say millions
OF dollars are lying Idle at the present
moment awaiting investments. and as
soon as the feeling of confidence becomes
more manifest the wheels of our fac.
tories, the. looms of our mills and the
furnaces of our foundries will once more
start in active operation. Our country
at the present time is not suffering from
over. production, in fact we are running
as close to the wind $50 to speak, as is
possible, the clouds are gradually lifting
from our troubles. and we are beginning
to see clear sailing ahead We believe
that we are on the eve of a general re-
Vival of business enterprises, which is
always reflected in the stock market, as
the securities dealt in on the exchanges
are bound to reap the benefits of a revival
or business, which has for a long period
remained stagnant
Investments made in certain stocks at
proper times show. large and sometimes
enormous. profits from a comparatively
small beginning, provided the purchase of
the same is made UNDERSTANDABLE and
based on actual facts as regards their
stock is low .-.at 1t is cheap. 1t may be
dear at any price, but IL you can get at
the actual facts an opinion can be
formed. and an Investment made that will
prove very profitable in the end. This

ENGLAND VS.. AMERICA.
The Extent OF The Coffee Habit.

When one notices the difference il
| the average people of England ant
America regarding their diet and Iii.
| gestive abilities. some natural inquiries
come up. What does the Englisnmal
| eat that gives him such good diges-
ton, and what is the reason for Sc
much dyspepsia among Americans?
Rudyard Kipling makes out a pie
belt through New England. and says
its pathway is streWn with dyspeptics
The Americans love for lard loaded
pastry is probably the cause of some
trouble. but the apparently harmless
coffee is without doubt the father OF
more stomach troubles in America than
any other item of food or drink Great
Britain consumes about 10000, 00C
pounds of coffee annually while Amer
lea disposes of something like $50. 900,
600, nearly or quite eleven times as
much.
Analytical chemistry discovers the
same poisonous alkaloids in coffee as
are found in strychnine, morphine, to-
bacco and whiskey.
These slight poisons taken daily, ac-
cumulate until the effect on the
nerves and stomach is pitiable with
some people (who are peculiarly sus-
ceptible to poisons;) the doses are con-
tinued from day to day without knowl-
edge of what is so surely destroying
the power of nerves and stomach.
1t is a trial to give up coffee, but a
new beverage has made its appear
ance on the market which is so like
Java coffee in it's deep seal brown color
and assuming the rich golden brown of
lovers of coffee who are denied its use.
because of the effects, can adopt this
new food drink freely. The change in
taste is so slight that many do not dis
cover than any change has been made.
The new product is called Postum,
and it is asserted by the manufacture
ers. the Postum Cereal Co. Limited,
Battle Creek. Mich. that it consists
wholly and solely of wheat and other
cereals, carefully cooked and roasted
in different ways. When the parts are
mixed or blended a perfect breakfast
leverage. a. true health coffee results.
which contains the nourishing and
healthful properties Of the grains in
tended Ivy nature for mans subsis-
tence.
IT is worthy the trial of anyone who
has trouble with coffee. or who desires
to regulate their habits with due re-.
gard to health and longevity
