zone wear 7 lived where the water
was hitter with iron and I could not
hear to drink it, so / began drinking
coffee three times a day.
gradually I noticed an uncomfortable
feeling in the stomach, and more or
less constipa ton In few months L
began to lie awake at night long after
I had retired.
This increased, until / never thought
of going to sleep before three or fouf
o'clock in the morning, and then only
after getting out of bed and walking
the floor for an hour.
I was talking of my nervous state
with a friend, who suggested that per-
hans It was the coffee ! had been using.
She felt quite sure it was, and stated
that coffee would not stay on her sto-
mach at all; but as she felt she must
have a hot drink for breakfast, she
had been using Postum Food Coffee,
she said she didn't like Postum par
+icularly well, and at breakfast the
next morning I didn't, wonder, when
tasted the fiat drink that the servant
brought on,
The same day I was invited to take
dinner with another friend, Mrs. Eos
ter. I had visited her often before
and knew she made delicious coffee,
SO when she asked how liked her cot

she invited me to have another cup,
but I said, L would not dare to take
the second oh you can drink as
many cups of this as you like; 1t won't
hurt YOU. This is Postum Food COT

now. and the little children have all
they want and our family have never
been as healthy as in the past year.

Perhaps it was not made right, said
nv friend I have known more than
one person to be turned away from
Postum because it was poorly made.
There is no secret in 1t; only allow 1t
to boil long enough to bring out the

using Postum since, and am entirely
cured of my trouble. l cannot say
TOO much for it." = Grace A. Foster

DROWNING IN GOLDEN SAND.
Nearly Lost His Life in a Mire Worth
81 200 Ton

NCAi
C. F. De Jersey Grut and l.. Simpson,
both of Sydney, Australia, are travel
ing on pleasure through the United
States. Mr.. Simpson has had an ex-
perience that does not often fall to the
lot Of man-of being nearly drowned
In gold And it happened in this wise,
he says:
81 was in New Zealand about a year
ago and was down In the southern part
of the place. There is a river there,
named the Zaldas. and very peculiar
river 1t is in a good many ways. 1t is
remarkable for the strength and swift
ness of its current in the mountains,
and it goes underground for a space of
about mile in it's middle course. But
the chief of it's peculiarities Is the gold
bearing quicksand to be found near it's
mouth. There is about a mile Of the
river there, where it spreads out, that
is full of quicksand, and for a good
distance this sand is full of gold. 1t
assays as high as $1,000 ton and Is, of
course. very valuable thing. Until
recently there was no known way of
utilizing this gold, but about year
ago a new method was found whereby
the gold could be extracted.
"WeI I was near there, with
party of friends, camping and shooting
and fishing. The first night l rode out
on my horse down the river to see
some people that lived on farm near
the mouth of the river. There was
light wind blowing at the time and 1T
blew my hat all of sudden from my
head and out into the stream. 1t
f1oated down slowly and I rode on the
bank and followed and watched it. l
thought that 1T would soon come near
the bank and then I would be able to
go out and get 1t by making my horse
wade in the stream. | had not heard
of the quicksand.
pretty soon, it did not come near
the bank, and I urged the animal out
into the river The horse would not
go. however, and neighed loudly when
brought near the water. After | had
made repeated efforts to get the horse
out into the stream l gave 1t up, and
then thought that I would wade out
and get the hat myself. 1t was close to
the bank and the river did not look
deep.
80 I jumped off the horse and into
the stream and then in an instant
knew what was the matter with the
animal For l had struck the quick
sand. 1t was the place where the gold
is most to be found and that sand there
is worth lots of money, but 1t did not
seem to make any difference to me
whether it was gold I was sinking in
or just plain sand. 1t rose higher and
higher on me and l felt that it was
surely the end. But the luck was with
me and I was pulled out by chance
passer on a horse, who threw a lariat
over my shoulders. I thought that L
was surely being cut in two by the
| lariat But ! was not and | was pulled
out after while and got over my
scare. That sand where l was is now
worth millions of dollars and | was ut
orally drowning in gold, but it wasn't
any fun, l can tell you.-Denver Re-

THE WOMAN OF FORTY.

1t Is more than sixty years since Bal
FAC, in Julie d'Aiglemont, presented to
a world accustomed to youthful hero
ines his study of "a Woman of Thir-
ty," and though novelists and dramat-
lists for long after that time continued
to portray their heroines as fragile
creatures of tender years the tide turn
ed at last, and if our latter day hero
ines are not all 80 they have at least
passed is, and are no longer subject to
fainting spells and bursts of tears on
all possible, or impossible, occasions. 1t
has remained, however, for womans
magazine to set another standard Of age
as to when woman is at her best, and
it may comfort those who are familiar
with the Balzac standard (and have al
ready passed it, to know the latest
high water mark of womans charm is
only reached when she has come to 40
years.
Although this Is the new century esti-
nation Of woman's best age-and set
by women at that-it will not be easy
to make members of the fair sex agree
to 1t, for they love youth and the pleas
ures of that time, and they look back
to 1t with even keener envy than man
kind does. Since they are changeless
In this respect, 1t Is not Improbable to
discuss the perfect age of woman from
mans standpoint of view for man S
desire is to know woman at her best,
and If he is to wait until she has reach
ed perfection it would seem that his
hating time on the road to matrimony
must needs be something more than a
mere bivouac and take on the simili-
tude of life in barracks.
1t may be that we brothers have, un-
consciously, been aware of this 40-year
standard for some time past, and thus
may likewise be found the real reason
for mans putting off the married state
until a season when he has worn out
the patience of all the matchmaking
women of his acquaintance by his total
inability to perceive the charms OF the
mice girls they have put in his way.
To make such a claim for the sterner
sex. however, Is to win the shifts and
tin tilted nostrils of derisive woman
kind They have already decided that
it is mans growing selfshness that
keeps him in the primrose way OF
bachelorhood, and not any superior
foresight. And when all is said and
done the only advantage he obtains
from the waiting is that in the passing
years he may know forty women, and
thus learn a little of the mysteries or
the sex that will all the better fit him
as a companion for the woman OF d.

fact 1t is the expression used by Jap
anese papers in describing the manner
of the Cripture's transfer. But the ac-
counts originally Transmitted were not
of character to suggest ordinary CIV
ing and taking. They spoke of the
japanese Buddhists as very anxious to
remove this celebrated Scripture, and
of Gen. Yamaguehi as refusing to sane
ton the operation. Rumor then repre-
scented the volumes as sufficiently nu-
merous and bulky to load twenty pack
horses. so by whatever process the
Scripture was secured, it's tranmission
to Japan was no small Undertaking In
Japan it now is, however, together with
two big lecterns used for reading the
tones. Each volume measures 3 feet
by foot, and bears on it's cover elab-
crate Buddhists Examinations. The
binding is in rich brocade, and the
printing was done in the Wanlieh era
of the Ming dynasty with wooden types
which We're subsequently destroyed by
fire There are said to be several thou
sands of volumes, and the total weight
is estimated at from fourteen to fifteen
tons. The larger of the two lecterns is

CROKER WILL NOT

SAYS HE IS GETTING OLD AND WORN OUT AND CAN'T BE A FIELD HORSE FOR EVERY BODY.

New York; December 3.-With an in terview with Richard Croker, the Even ing Post today quotes the Tammany leader as saying:
 You won't see much more leading on my part in the future. I am getting old and worr out and I can't be field horse for everybody. I admit that the leader of Tammany Hall should stay in New York all the year -ound and I can't stay here for more than a part of the year. If I tried to stay here all of the time I could do no work at all.
 All iris .alk about my being state letder and trying to dictate in national politics is nonsenscal I am in no condi- tion to do any kind of leading, but of course I will always take deep interest in Tammany."
 Wher- asked if he was training any bocy to succeed him as leader, ne re- piled:
 ''Oh, I have not come to that, and have not planned my future except that 1 will go to England in January or Fete ruary. The Tarmany executive commit tee will meet next month, and you may hear more of the matter then"
