Brlsf skstsh 81 NJ. Reed.

With the retirement of Thomas 3
Reed from the house OF representa-
tives. in 1899. the most commanding
figure in public life for many years
passed of the stase. The White House
was not open to him; he was a poor
man, and he desired to earn a mod
crate fortune upon which he might
live during his declining years There
fore he resigned as q member of CON
gress from the Portland. Ne. district
and moved to New York city. where
he Joined the law firm OF Simpson.
Thatcher & Barnum. Since that time
he had steadily practiced law.
In 1876 Mr. Reed was elected to the
45th congress. and until his retirement
in 1899 he was reelected without in.
terruption. His influence was strong
iy marked. and he had become the
leader Of his party. In the 5lst con-
gress. the Republicans having secured
the ascendancy by a bare majority, he
was elected speaker on the first bal
lot Almost Immediately the jovial,
popular Gentleman from Maine" be-
came Gear" Reed. To rule the house,
in which there was a bare Republican
majority and a strong and determined
minority. was q tremendous and most
difficult task. Mr.. Reed chose to rule
with rod OF iron. AS the centre OF
the stormy scenes that made the ses-
sions OF the 51st congress memorable
Reed became famous. Mr. Reed en-
forced what he believed was his con-
stitutiOnal power to count members
present in the house as participating
in a vote despite their refusal to use
their privilege. Thus he did away
with the fiction that a man could be
physically present In the hall of the
house and could at the same time be
constructively absent.

MARINE MINISTER ATTACKED.
French Chamber of Deputies Engages
 In Another Warm Debate.

Paris, November 24.-Marine Minister Pelletan's administration of the navy was again subjected to an attack in the cham Der today, when an interpolation was in- troduced criticizing the action of the min ister in recently reducing the effective strength of the Mediterranean squadron by 175o men. This reduction, 1t was as- serted by the introducers of the interpel- lation. would render it impossible for the fleet to put to sea instantly if this be- came necessary.
 M. Pelletan, replying to the criticisms, said he was compelled to economize in some directions. because the construction of warships during the coming fiscal year would necessitate an expenditure of s1,- 6OO,OO0 in excess of 1902 Owing to the ex- ceptional position occupied by France in the Mediterranean, 1t was a more ur- gent matter to expedite the works on the naval port of Bizerta, than to put 100 men more or less on the ships employed in promenading between Vile Franche and Toulon. After a brief debate the chamber by 2SS votes to 204 adopted an order of the day approving the declaration of the government and then adjourned.

A FALSE HEART. Coffee Does Not Let 1t Beat True.

Coffee served me a very hard turn about two years ago. My doctor said had chronic dyspepsia with serious heart and nervous trouble and nothing would cure me unless I gave up coffee said Miss Hattie Williams of Birmingham. Ala
 My stomach got so bad that I could not eat any solid food without it's nauseating me, and I was so nervous could not sleep and my heart was in dreadful condition. I had heard a great deal about Postum Food Coffee and how much good people had derived from changing from coffee to Postum, so one day I sent to the grocer for package.
 The first cup I drank helped me, for it removed all the gas from my stomach, or perhaps the quitting of coffee pro duced that result; at any rate, in less than a week there was wonderful change; no more restless nights; no more pains around my heart that made me think I had heart trouble; no more sick stomach. This was two years ago. I am now entirely well and Postum cured me. found it was not medicine I needed
 but proper food and nourishment and to
 quit coffee entirely.
 My brother-in-law Ca coffee drinker) was very sick with stomach trouble and all he could eat was the white of an egg. I insisted on his trying Postum. He said the first cup he drank soothed his stom- ach and was nourishing; in a few days he was able to eat solid food again, and now he uses 1t altogether and does not use coffee.
 My next door neighbor, another coffee
 thinker, had suffered with catarrh of the stomach, and for months could not eat anything-was just living on beef tea. carried her some Postum and gave her directions for making 1t. and now she can eat anything she wants and 1t does not hurt her. She says she feels better than she has for ten years.
 I could tell you of dozens of people who have been benefited by leaving off coffee and drinking Postum It has done
 me so much good tell everybody to use it. have been using 1t now for two years and my digestion is fine. my com plexion clear and everyone says look ten years younger"
