WINE VS.. COFFEE.
a Test Case.

an wine makers wife on whom I was
calling Il year or two ago. urged me to
drink large cup of very strong coffee
when | had declined to take a glass of
wine for the reason that the wine af-
fected me unpleasantly. The coffee was
so strong that my head reeled and
rolled 70" two or three days, and l de-
cided the wine would have been the
more temperate drink after ALL
Il had been a moderate user of coffee.
but had been suffering from sick head
aches for some time and was becom-
ing very suspicious that coffee was the
cause of them. After this experiment,
the drug power of coffee was made so
plain that l abandoned IL altogether and
had long season OF hot water drink

admit.
After awhile. I was introduced to
Postum Food Coffee. and 1t proved a

PHILOSOPHY AND VERSE.
New Poem BY The Author Of "Life Without Love-
Stub Ends Of Thought And Lines To Spring.

The writings of Mr. Arthur c. Lewis.
the well-known Southern passenger
agent of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road. have for several years past been
attracting increasing attention in
America and in England and France,
where his poems have been widely pub

poetic fire, vivid word painting and
evidences of unusual genius.

ciprocate. Her humiliation Is often
more bitter than her hate.
Large minds are too often Influenced
by small prejudices.
Pay both your pew rent and life in
surance. if You can. but don't drop your
policy.
Let us hope for the best, though We
see but shadow of light through the
darkness of human despair.
Deception is dishonest FOR respect
and confidence are valuable virtues.
Where does friendship end and impo-
sition begin?
Love and money were always. and
will always be, bitter enemies. No gold
loves its test
Confidence ana self-relianco Is NOT
egotism. Weak natures break down n
bridge before they reach it.
We cannot successfully legislate
against human nature
Home life does more to elevate society
than all outside influences tend to de-
grade il.
No man of sense respects another who
agrees with him without regard to
reason and his own opinion.
Never believe that woman loves Won
until of her own volition she offers to
surrender something for Your sake. AZ
lection is known by its sacrifices. Love
Is a luxury that some are unwilling to
afford.
How many hearts is pride breaking
to-day?
~ wiz succeed" is as great an incent-
i've to accomplishment as II must fair'
Is the opposite.
The flower of love demands constant
attention. 1T shrinks with Indifference
and dies from neglect.
Men and morals are often regulated
by temptation and opportunity.
The comnanionship of a cheerful devil
is preferable to the society OF morbid
saint.
The influence OF good women on civil
ization and to humanity is of greater
benefit than the united church.
Often while running after shadows
of what we hope for. we lose the sub

More men require protection against

For the halmy warmth of Spring,
OF all the small annoyance

We would feel no grief for the rose that dies
Had we never known its bloom.
And no tears would be she'd for the love that

Had it lived and died so soon,
That its fragrant. sweet and soft caress
Had left no sting ofpain,
For the hope OF night is its dream OF dawn
And the LIGHT of the day AGAIN

SO hearts are broken and lives go out,
On the ocean of pain and care,

In the path that integrity treads.

The Democratic party is in favor of
the Immediate construction, ownership
and control of the Nicaragua canal by
the United States. The failure of the
Republican party to make any prog
ress in carrying out a pledge contained
in it's platform four years ago, together
with the substitution in it's latest plat
form of n plank faYoring an isthmian
canal for specific declaration in IA
vor of the Nicaraguan canal, would in
dictate that the Republican leaders
either do not appreciate the Importance
of this great waterway to tho mari
time strength and commercial inter
ests of the country. or that they give
too much consideration to the interest
ed opposition of transcontinental lines.
The -Pauncefote treaty. now be-
fore the senate, would, If ratified,
greatly lessen the value of the canal,
If 1t would not indeed convert 1t into
a positive menace in time of war. The
paramount interests of the United
States in the western hemisphere, to-
gether with the obligations to defend
the republics to the south of us, makes
1t necessary that our government shall
be able to close the canal against any
hostile power.

House of Representatives. and that,
too, practically without opposition.
Whatever may have, been the reasons
which secured the adoption of the pres
ent plan. century ago, new conditions
have made it imperative that the peo-
pie be permitted to speak directly IN
the selection OF their representatives In
the Senate. A Senator is no less the
representative of the State because he
receives his commission from the peo-
pie themselves. rather than from the
members OF the State legislature. II
a voter is competent to vote for mem
Der of Congress. for State officers and
for President he is competent to
choose his representative in the Sem
ate. "A system which makes the SEN
ator responsible for his election to the
people, as a whole, and amenable to
them II he misrepresents them, must
commend itself to those who have con-
fidence in the Intelligence, and patriot
ism of the masses.

Reclamatlon of Arid Lands.

The time is ripe for systematic and
extended effort to reclaim the arid
lands and fit them for actual settlers.
The last agricultural report estimates
that homes can thus be provided for
many millions OF people. The i'm
pounding and use of the waters which
are wasted in the spring would people
the western states with thrifty, intelli-
gent, and industrious citizens, and
these would furnish a valuable market
for all the products of the factories. A
small percentage of the money spent
in war of conquest would provide oc-
cupation and habitation for more peo-
pie than would ever seek n residence
in colonies within the tropics.
