FROZE TO DEATH.
Found Naked and Dead on Her Porch
in Cheyenne.

Found Naked and Dead on Her Porch
in Cheyenne.
"A dispatch from Cheyenne dated
yesterday says:
Mrs. Daniel Keller, aged 40, was
frozen to death last night at her home,
1915 O'Neill street, in this city.
The woman, whose husband is absent
as a packer in Cuba, has been partially
insane for some time, and, while plenti-
fully supplied with money and provis-
ions, had an idea that she was starving.
Last night she was without fire and
had not eaten any food for some time.
One Of her neighbors, d.. s. Ferron,
built a fire for her and left her in a
comfortable condition at that time.
When he left the house Mrs. Keller
gave him fifty dollars and asked him to
keep it for her.
This morning Mr.. Ferron went to the
Keller house and found Mrs. Keeler's
frozen body on the back porch of the
dwelling. The woman was entirely
naked and her her hair was cut off
close to her head. Her clothing and her
hair were found in the house.
All of the circumstances surrounding
the affair indicate that the woman,
while temporarily insane, lay down in
the cold and was frozen to death.

A TEACHERS DUTY.


I noticed two OF my little pupils,
brother and sister, when reaching up
for a book or any article that l desired
to hand to them, trembled more or less
from the fingers to the shoulder.
finally concluded that this was not
shyness, but wa really some physical
trouble, and upon inquiring, / discov-
cred they were in the habit Of drinking
coffee every morning for breakfast. l
warned the children to leave off the
coffee, for / knew it was the cause OF
the trouble, and would ruin them If
continued in. I always urge children
to use Postum Food Coffee, for know
that to be healthy. strengthening and a
perfectly natural liquid food. A short
time thereafter the little folks spoken
of were entirely well Of their slight
palsy.
1T Is a distressing state Of affairs
where parents permit children to use
ordinary coffee.
Many cases have come to my notice
where parents permit children to use
ordinary coffee.
Many cases have come to my notice
where the taste OF Postum was not
liked, but in all such cases the dislike
arises from the failure to properly boil
it. It is a very tasteless liquid when
~underboiled, and a very delicious
strong, rich, satisfying coffee when
boiled long enough to bring out the
flavor and food value. DR.. Helen Coe,

HOW PRIME CATTLE KILL.

People want to know how cattle kill
u and they usually have very indefi-
mite ideas about it. Average choice
beef steers 1900 to 1.40O pounds weight
dress about 60 to GA per cent but fame,
cattle do better. At the Chicago fat
stock showing in 1897 of fine Aberdeen
Angus steer weighing 1,755 pounds
alive dressed 69.97 per cent, netting
/ ,914 pounds of beef, and the next best
steer, 1,34O pounds, dressed 6S.2s per
cent and produced 915 pounds OF beef.
The grand sweepstakes premium, how
ever. was awarded to a s%horthorn year.
ling which weighed 1000 pounds alive,
dressed 1915 per cent and produced
TAB pounds dead weight. The carcass
of the little yearling shorthorn steer
was almost a model, the meat being
well marbled and evenly distributed
and the carcass free from unnecessary
waste.-National Live Stock Reporter.
