STORIETTES.

Here is the latest story OF Judge
Henry l.. Rowland, one of the most
popular after-dinner speakers of New
York: '"There was little boy who
was badly puzzled over the theory Of
evolution. He went to his mother and
asked: Mamma, am descended from
a monkey?' II don't know she an

Herbert A. Giles gives the follow
ing example of Chinese hulnor in his
History of Chinese Literature": "A
man who had been condemned to
wear wooden collar was seen by
some of his friends. What have you
been DOING they asked him, to de-
serve this? oh, nothing he replied;
I only picked up an old piece of rope
And you are to be punished thus Sc
verely,' they said, for merely picking
up an end of rope?' WELL answered
the man, the fact is that there was a
bullock tied to the other end"

Thomas Lincoln, the father of ABB
raham Lincoln, was great story tell
81, and one yarn that he never tired
of rchcarsing was a blood-curdling
Indian tale. One day, when he was
about seven or eight years old, and
living in Kentucky, he was sitting on
a fence, watching his father and Older,
brothers at work in the field. With
out moments warning, small band
Of Indians came rushing by on horse
back. One of them. with Il sweep OF
his long arm, seized the lad and gall
loped off. Little Tommy Lincoln
looked up into the red warriors face
and said: Don't kill me. Take mo
a prisoner" The Indian smiled. Just
then a rifle cracked. Indian and boy
tumbled Off the horse, the Indian
dead, with a bullet in his brain. Tom
my Lincoln's father had come to the
rescue.
One Of the most llldicrOus mistakes
made by the telegraph was caused by
the loss Of a single dot in telegram
from Brisbane to n London news
agency. AS it reach ed London it read
Governor general twins first son.
which the news agency "edited" and
sent around to the papers i'll the fol-
lowing form: ''Lady Kennedy, this
wife Of Sir Arthur Kennedy, governor
general of Queensl,nd.y yesterday gave
birth at government house, brisbane,
to twins, the first horn being a SON"
The telegram was published by most
of the newspapers i'll London and tho
provinces, and caused an unexpected
sensation. Sir Arthnr's friends point
cd out with conclusive force that
some one had hlundered, as there
never was a Lady Kennedy, Sir Ar
thur being 4 bachelor. The repeat
message, which followed read: "Gov.

The Ash Wednesday services at the Catholic and Episcopal churches were largely attended. At a. In. at St. Paui's s and at the Church of Our Lady of Sor- rows the ancient ceremony of blessing and distributing the ashes took place, the office being said just before mass. At St. Pauls vast congregation was gath cred and many hundreds advanced to the altar rail, where the priest. Father O'Reilly, signed each one on the fore head with ashes, saying: "Memento, homo, quai pulvis es, ct in pulvereh1 reverteris" man, thou art dust and must return to dust. At the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows the same ceremony was performed by Father are obtained by burning the palms bless ed on the last Palm Sunday.
 Those of the faithful who could not at- tend the 8 o'clock service received the ashes at the service at 7:3o p. m. at St. Paul's At the latter hour there was a sermon by Father Downs, which was followed by the benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
 The next evening service at St. Paul s will be on Friday at 7:30-Stations of the Cross and benediction.
 Father Meurer's week night services will be on Tuesdays and Fridays.
 The Episcopal Church does not have the ceremony of the ashes, but the prayer book contains Ash Wednesday collects and iections.

DIDN'T QUIT Because She Never Started.

Many people have been interested in the reports of persons made i'll by coffee drinking and cured by quitting and using Postum Food Coffee. Of course, the leav- ing off of the poison CT coffee by highly organized people whose systems are af- fected by 1t, Is a great help In tself, but the biggest end of the help Is in the clements furnished by Postum Food Golf fee. This is a true food drink of the high est character.
 A lady who has never been addicted to tea or coffee drinking, was reduced by stomach trouble to a condition Of ner- vous prostration with heart trouble, in- somnia, and finally got in such weak condition that the Doctors said she could not get we'll, and it was thought she would live but a short time.
 Someone brought Postum Food Coffee to her attention, she quit taking Medi- cine and went to using Postum. She says, "It did not sour on my stomach and began to feel better at once. kept on us- ing 1t day after day and now am well and strong and have better health than have had for years, and am most sincere ly thankful that Postum Food Coffee was invented and was lead to use fl" This is direct evidence of the fact that has so often been stated that Postum Is nourishing food drink containing the elements of phosphate Of potash and al- bumen that go to build up the gray mat ter in the nerve cells in the brain and all over the body. It does not contain medicine of any sort or kind. only the ele- ments placed in the cereals of the field by the Almighty Creator. and selected and made use of in the form of liquid food by the inventor.
 My husband Is a grocer and has been out of health for some time past. Since he has found what Postum has done for me he has quit drinking coffee and been using Postum for quite a little time. He has improved greatly; sleeps well nights, and says he has given up coffee entirely"
