MYSTERIOUS MIR. BUGLE.
The excellent organization which is
playing Madeleine Lueette Ryley.'s most
successful comedy the Mysterious Mr..
Buglee has probably contributed as much
success to the play an the author. Mr..
Joseph Holland. who heads the cast, IS
without doubt the finest delineator OF
farcicaI charaoer now before the public.
He may have his equals and even his su-
periors in heavier comedy work, but there
Is no one who can extract as much fun
from a truly farcical situation as does
Mr., Holland with his intense earnestness.
Mr.. Holland, however, is not the only
artist in the company. He is surrounded
by lot Of clever people and most O.
whom we're with him in the original cast.

COWARD AND CAPTAIN.
Fright Kills One and High Resolve Saves
the Other.

A story is told of a cowardly fellow ly-
nent, when bullet knocked chip from
stone near by
The chip struck him in the forehead
scarcely breaking the skin. The fright
ened fellow cried out that he was fatally
wounded and rolled over in faint from
which he never came out.
A captain near by was found to have
eight bullet wounds and when told in
the hospital that he couldn't get we'll ex-
claimed. eyes I will; give. me good food
and little time to rest and by all the
powers I'll be out of here. My = little
children need me and I would he a
coward to die and leave them helpless. "
He got we'll and is hale old man today
and his children haven't forgotten him.
Mark the fact that the mind in the cow
ards case stopped the machinery OF life
and the mind in the captains case Kept
the machinery going, when skilled physi-
CLANS said it must stop.
Man becomes a God when the mind
mounts to the altitude of high resolve,
and by some occult process he at that
time, takes unto himself some OF the
power of the Infinite.
Let one apply this power when aches
and ails of body threaten TO overcome
1t is a most valuable agent for good
health. One should, however, combine
good food with good mind and if ails
ofsany kind press their claims day by day,
heed the protests of Nature before some
incurable disease sets up in the body.
One of the first and most important
steps to good health is to abandon the
Use of coffee, for it saps the vitality at
the heart and stomach, the most import
ant organs.
If coffee is hard to give up, one can get
on very handsomely with Postum Food
Coffee and will shortly find e pronounced

man or woman is not the richest or most
brilliant but the healthiest, because such
