One of my former class mates, Mrs.
f. Kinsley Of WestfieId, Mass, seemed
greatly surprised that I had never
used Postum. The family We're very
enthusiastic over it's effect upon them.
Said they could not enjoy life without
it. The physician had recommended
total abstinence from coffee, as she
had injured her digestive organs 10y
using it, and was considered a con-
firmed and incurable dyspeptic, but
when put upon Postum Cereal Food
Coffee she Immediately began to get
well, and left off the drugs and the
coffee. Now she is able to eat any
thing she likes without the least
symptoms Of disease. Her life before
had been one of suffering, and it IS
now one of enjoyment. She said it
would be impossible to speak too high
ly in its praise.
When I was in Westfield eight years
ago 1 visited Albert Atkins, who
was then very great sufferer. Both
he and his friends did not think it
possible for him to live more than a
short time. I found him SO well on
this visit that / insisted upon knowing
what made the change. He said
he had visited every point of the COM
pass, and tried almost everything he
had ever heard recommended, bat all
of no avail, until he was led by the
Postum Cereal articles to suspect that
the little coffte he drank was really
poisoning him day by day, and from
the very time that he quit coffee en-
tirely and began to use Postum, he
began to get better. He Is a
very wealthy man and travels a great
deal, but says he never leaves home
for one night without his outfit Of
Postum.
While at Jamaica Plains, Mass, I
visited a retired sea Captains home.
He said in all his experience, far and
near, on land or water, he had never
found any beverage that would COM
pare with Postum Cereal Food Coffee.
While he used to dr.. coffee he
suffered with headaches, drowsiness
and an unnatural thickering Of the
blood, but since quitting the common
coffee and using Postum he was free
from all his ailments. / drank my
first cup of Postum with him, and to
my surprise found it a very delicious.
palatable drink. which / have since
used with favorable results. I cannot
tell half of what I heard in praise of
Postum during my visit in the East.
1t is sufficient to say that Postum has
a very firm foothold with my East
ern friends.
I wish to add that on one or two oc-
casions I have had Postum served to
me rather fiat, but always know in
such cases that it is simply because it
has not been allowed to boil long
enough to bring out the delicate and
we'll known flavor.

Emotional Insanity Not a Defense.

In the case of Frances Green VS.. The
State, appealed from Jackson circuit
court the state supreme court handed
down an important opinion relative to
insanity pleas in criminal cases It is
held that "mere moral or emotional in
sanity is not defense to crime Though
usually person is held answerable
for his deeds if he has the mental
capacity, at the time of commission. to
discover between right and wrong as
to the particular deed, yet in some cases
he is excused. This is where % the
disease of the mind has caused him to
SO far lose his power of choosing be-
tween right and wrong as to leave him
not free agent in his action; and (2)
the crime or deed must be related to
the disease as effect to cause. Evidence
of hereditary insanity is competent only
after evidence has been offered to show
insanity of defendant"

The Quarantine Stands.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has
decided that for 1898 the quarantine
line for Arkansas cattle and cattle pass
ing through the state will be the south
ern line of Missouri, and that the quar-
antine commence January Is instead of
February Is, as heretofore. Senator
Berry and Congressman Dinsmore en-
tered protest against placing the en-
tire state within the quarantine line,
and Secretary Wilson, in lengthy let
ter to Senator Berry, explains why he
took this action, in which he states that
from reports on file in his depart ment
covering the years 1896 and 1897 cattle
shipped from independence, Washing
ton, Benton, Carroll, Madison, Fulton

counties were found to be infected. In
closing the secretary says:
assure you IL would be pleasure for me to
make some concession TO your people IL can
ind any Justification for such action. / am
considering the advisabiity OF placing a Dip
Ping station at some convenient point along
the northern boundary line Of the state, in
order that shipments Of cattle may go forward

A LESSON IN HISTORY.

II was 300 years ago, in Florence
Italy. that the first grand opera waA
produced.
Quinine is made from Peruvian bark
the outer part of a medicinal plant,
called cinchona. 1t was so named from
the wife of Count Cinchon, of Peru, in
the seventh century, who by its use
was cured of intermittent fever.
In 1925, the year of the plauge, so
great was the gloom in England that it
has become known as 1.-The still Christ
mas" The Christmas of the Great
Frost" took place in 1879. The Thames
was frozen from bank to bank and bar
becues were held upon the ice.
So far as the present writer is aware
the earliest mention of "liveries' made
in history is IN the reign of King Pepin,
of France. This king flourished about
the year $50 A. D., and because of his
diminutive size he had bestowed upon
him the rather disrespectful appella-
tion of "Pepin the Short"
In France King James H., in his flight
from England arrived on that day.
On that day in 1899 Napoleon was pro-
claimed first consul, and just four years
later he was crowned emperor. He en-
tered Paris unattended during the Holt
days of 1912, and his nephew, Louis
Napoleon, was crowned emperor dur
ing the holidays of 1852.
1t was at Merengo, North Italy, that
the French army, commanded by Bona
parte, after crossing the Alps into Pied
mont, attacked the Austricns, June,
1900; his army was retreating, when
the arrival of Gen. Dessaix turned the
fortunes of the day. The slaughter on
both sides was dreadful. BY treaty

BEHIND THE FOOTlIGHJS.

j. NJ. Barrie has written a psycholog.
ical play which he says he never expects
to see produced.
Julia Arthur intends after "a Lady OF
Quality" is played out to revive a re-
pertoire of classic pieces such as IN
gomar," Camille" Romeo and Juliet
and others.
1t is said Irving is losing prestige in
England, and that Beerbohn Tree and
Forbes Robertson are taking his place
He is rehearsing his play, Peter the
Great" which he has put off from time
to time, and now it will not be pro-
duced in London till January.
Margaret Mather is planning for an
elaborate tour around the world, al
though the details have not been COM
pleted. Her plan is to take a company
composed of frst-class American play
ers across the Pacific, stopping at Hon.
olulu, going thence to Japan, where,
during a stay of three months she in
tends to give an entire repertoire OF
Shakespearean plays mounted in elab-
crate style, and after this is concluded
to play in the chief Australian cities
and thence proceed to India and eventu-
ally to London.

Would Reform Them.

Judging from the conditions under
which some violators are granted par
dons by Gov. ones, the chief execu-
tive is determined they shall be kept
away from the evil influences that
caused their downfall. Frank Biler,
young man, while intoxicated stole
$500 worth of potted ham, for which he
was found guilty and fined $3.50 and
sentenced to six months Imprisonment.
The governor was appealed to, and
granted Biler a pardon, conditioned
that he go to work at some honest oc-
cupation, make his fathers house his
home, refrain from the use of liquor
and keep out of saloons for one year.

NOTES ON FASHION.

A regal dinner gown lately worms of
white velvet bordered with Russian
sable and embroidered in gold.
\ natty cape is of fox fur dyed brown,
with collar of jeweled lace with mar
row band of the fox.
\ very pretty aigrette consisted of
two upright ostrich tips, one pink and
one mauve, with a diamond osprey in
the center. and a little scarf of pink
gauze wound in and out of the hair, a
la Romney.
Crepe de chine is so soft and grace
full in it's draping that it is difficult to
find fault with it. 1t has, however, a
powerful rival in the new faille de chine,
which is very similar, only possessed of
more firmness, so that when employed
for tea gown or a tea jacket il pre-
serves its pristine freshness longer.
Chenille plays an important part in
trimmings, and close-set chenille spots
on tulle form the most fashionable ma
terial for ball dresses; while a thick
make of lace in almost any color, with
chenille laid on the surface of the pat
tern. and both edges waved, is quite the
newest bordering round the hem of the
skirt or down the fronts.
