The Noise Habit.

A man who had been in New York
steadily for year spent last Sunday
at n little resort on the coast Of New
Jersey. 1t took him two hours to get
there and the ride through the coun-
trv was refreshing and invigorating,
and when he reached the little place
he found it very rural and pretty and
nuiet and life-giving. But his nerves
had become so used to trolley cars and
noise moi, that the quiet irritated him and
made his back ache. He was nervous
and half i'll until he had returned to
New York. AS he rode up Broadway
in cable car his aches passed away
md his nerves grew steady and calm.

On August q the Sheriff levied on the
funds O'Donnell had in the Hibernla
Bank, and two sums, $61 IS and 800 95, were

On August 2S he levied again, and re-

cleanup Benson appeared in another suit
for one Miller upon claim for 500 for
board and $40 for borrowed money, as
signed by Winnie McDermott to plaintiff
1t was in this suit that Benson over
reached himself. Emboldened by his pre-
vieus successes. he demanded that de-
fault judgment be at once entered, and
he abused witnesses who appeared in a
manner that Justice Barry would not
brook. Becoming suspicious of the case,
the Judge started an investigation and
found the facts as set forth. He at once
refused TO enter Judgment or to have any
thing further to do with the case until

POSTUM CEREAL.
TO SLEEP SOUND
Leave Off the Coffee.

A city solicitor for a grocery in
Amerieus, Georgia, reports that in call
ing upon a Mrs. w. F. Marsh, found
her complaining greatly about the loss
of sleep and nervousness in the family
He suggested that perhaps the trouble
was caused by coffee drinking, and ad-
vised that they use Postum Food Cof-
fee in it's place A box of the new Food
Coffee was sent down to them, and at
call the second day Mrs. Marsh stated
that about 3 o'clock in the morning she
was suddenly awakened by her hus-
band jumping up to dress, stating that
he must get off to work. She looked
at the clock and told him ii was only
O'Clock, and he must have made
mistake. He said he felt there was GER
tainly something wrong with the clock,
for he had slept his usual time, was
perfectly refreshed and had his nights
rest out. The good sound sleep con-
tinued night after night after leaving
off the coffee and using in it's place the
Postum Cereal Food Coffee.
The solicitor further says: 'T told
this experience of Mr.. and Mrs. Marsh
to Mr.. r. F. Davenport, and after the
first nights trial he told me he had
never slept better in years. Mrs. Dav-
enport was in the store this afternoon

rob one Festy O'Donnell of the few hun
dred dollars he had deposited in the Hi
berna Bank.
Benson's system is something unique in
the line of Police Court cr0olledness. 1t
consisted simply in securing default judg
ment on alleged board bills against Il man
who was mentally incompetent to appear
on his own behalf and whose mental dis
ease made ii possible to prevent him en-
ploying counsel. The default once en-
tered. Benson levied attachments on the
defendants funds in bank and secured
possession of them upon execution.
O'Donnell has been a raving maniac for
months, but instead of being sent to an
asylum was hidden away in room of

by a woman named Winnie McDermott.
