ST had drank coffee since babyhood,
and although 1 was very nervous and
dyspeptic, 1 could not and would not
believe that coffee had anything to do
with it, writes an American lady now
living in Munich, Germany.
my physician finally convinced me
that coffee was at the bottom of all my
troubles, and I tried many things to
take its place, but nothing satisfied the
craving for real coffee. At last, one
day in half-hearted, despairing mood.
I bought from the grocer some Postum
Food Coffee. My grown-up daughter,
who by the way had inherited my taste
for coffee and also my nervousness,
laughed, and said, Don't you know that
nothing can take the place of well made
coffee, half Java and half Mocha, with
plenty of rich cream?'
I firmly believe it, I replied, but a
drowning man will grasp at straw,
and am getting more nervous every

BOER MANIFESTO.
Generals Appeal to tho World for Fl
nancial Assistance.

Amsterdam Sept 24-The B0er gen.
erals. Botha, DeWet and Delarey, have
issued a manifesto in the shape Of al
appeal to the civilized world. This doc
struggle in South Africa, the Beers
were compelled to accept the British
terms of peace, the generals were COM
missioned to proceed to England and
appeal to the new government to allay
the distress which is devastating the
colonies, and in the event of the failure
of the mission to appeal to the civilized
world for charitable contributions.
Continuing the generals say that hav-
ing failed to induce Great Britain te
grant further assistance. 1t only re-
mains for them to address themselves
to the people of Europe and America.
After setting forth how sweet it had
been during the critical DAVIS they had
passed through to receive constant
marks of sympathy, the generals taks
this opportunity to express on behalf
of the people of the late republics. fer
vent thanks to all those who had as
sisted charitably the women and chill
dren in the concentration camps, pris-
oners. etc
1.-The small Boer nation" goes on the
manifesto "can never forget the help
it received in its dark hours of suffer
ing. Our people are completely ruined.
1t has been impossible to make a COM
plete inventory but we are convinced
that a least 10000 houses on Boer farms
anu Iiduy VlitdStS were DuTuoO OF QeS-
troyed by the British during the war
Everything was destroyed and the
country was completely laid waste. The
war demanded many victims, the land
was bathed in tears and orphans and
widows were abandoned. We are ap-
pealing to the world for contributions tc
assist the destitute and help in the ed
ucation of children"
The generals repudiate all desire t.
inf1ame the minds of the people and de-
clare:
1.-THE sword is now sheathed, and al
differences are silent in the presence OF
such great misery"
They say the small amount given by
Great Britain, even if multiplied ten
fold would not suffice to cover the wal
losses alone.
1--WE solicit the hearty cooperation OF
all existing committees in the variou:
countries which we are on the point o,
visiting with the object of establishing

ACCORDING TO
SCRIPTURE
By S. HOMER HENLEY.

CAND.
- Everywhere dazzling, white and
Elaring hot sand, smoothly level for
little distances, then billowing softly
in breast-like mounds. But always
the same binding white stretch; no
cactus, no bunch-grass-just sand.
And brassy-blue sky-ring with
setting of copper sun, blazing infer
nally.
The American spoke first.
swell, you've got me dead to rights
out here. What are you going to do
about it?"
The Mexican's only reply was to
point silently ahead. His big jaw
was sct immovably and his heavy
eyelids dropped over gaze colder
than ice. His companion watched
him furtively in growing apprehen-
sion.
Since dawn they had ridden over
maddening miles of this interminable
desert, without the exchange of
single word. The Americans pride
of race in not "knuckling" to n dirty
-'Greaser" by speaking first had been
gradually but inexorably borne down
in part by the terrifying stiffness
and monotony of this blistered
waste, but much more by the un-
natural silence and immobility main
1ained by the other. He had always
reckoned himself fairly brave man,
but the uncanniness of the whole
situation was getting upon his
nerves.
What fool he had been to ride
out, absolutely unarmed, into this
pale sea with this granite-faced devil.
He felt, savagely, that he would give
all he possessed to mash that grim
mouth. to crush the light from those
marrow, steely eyes. Presently he be-
gan to speak rapidly, thickly, as one
hurried on by an uncomfortable
something apart from himself.
Look here, now, l blame you
] know that kept after the girl un-
til she gave in to me. But how was
I going to know that she would kill
herself because l had to go away?
OF course, knew you loved her, but
I didn't see any reason for that
stopping me. Oh, know you'd have
married her where l couldn't; but
chats just the point, / couldn't. I'm
engaged to n girl up in Nevada, and
all my prospects depend upon my
marrying her; so you see how L was
placed, don't you?"
The Mexican gave no sign that he
had heard. His left hand, holding the
thin reins that ran to the detected
mouth of the weary mustang, rested
on the high pommel of the "buck''
saddle; and his right hand clasped.

south side of the river without eX-
posing the men to the hardships of
wading or fording.
"When Sheridan had placed his
quota of wagons in the river the other
divisions failed to send their wagons.
Realizing the importance of finishing
the bridge at ONE, Sheridan put into
the river every available wagon in his
division, but scarcely had he done so,
and sent one brigade across, when it
was reported that Longstreet was adj
vancing from cambridge, and Sheridan
was ordered to retire at once. He eX-
planned that as all his transportation
was in the river he could not move
without sacrificing his wagons, and he
took the responsibility of remaining
in position until every wagon was out
of the river. Probably the men of his
division never worked harder than on
that occasion, and, after all, we
reached the point of concentration as
soon as the other divisions.

HE HAD JUST LOST AN ARM.

into a field hospital, the pews being
turned into hospital hunks for upward
of 300 wounded soldiers.
Mr.. Parker says that he was in a
pew next to the door the day follow
ing the amputation of his arm and not
feeling any too happy, when woman
with basket came into the church
and stopped at the entrance of his
pew, and after asking him few ques-
tions and giving words of cheer, she
asked him to what regiment he be-
longed and the nature of his wounds.
He told her he belonged to the Sec
ond Massachusetts and that he had
Just, lost an arm.
She then asked him If he did not
want a loaf of bread. Mr.. Parker says
that he told her he had had nothing to
eat for two days, and would like the
bread, and she gave him an entire loaf.
He was interested and asked the wom-
ans name, and the answer was:
"Clara Barton"
Years afterward. says the Worces-
ter (Mass.) Telegram, when Mr.. Par
ker was married, his wife went to Bos-
ton and there met the celebrated
nurse. He had told his wife of the in
cident of the church in the south,
and while Mrs. Parker was talking
with Miss Barton, she said:
MY husband tells me that you were
the first person to give him anything
to eat after he was wounded in the
army, and that he was the first man
that you gave anything to in that hos
pital."
Miss Barton asked where that was,
and hearing the name of the church,
said:
"Why, that was the first hospital I
ever went into" and that is the proof
that the Leominster veteran has that
he was the recipient of the first loaf
of bread given out by the now famous
Red Cross worker.

CLARA BARToN's FIRST LOAF.
Interesting Account of n Mnssnchu-
setts Veteran who Was the
Recipient of 1t.

1t would be n difficult task to at
tempt even to make an estimate of the
amount of supplies that have been fur
nished by Clara Barton and her band
of Red Cross workers, but in Leomin-
ster county, Massachusetts, ives a
man who says that he was the first
recipient of their generous charity.
His name is \. j. Parker, and the food
which he got from the hand of the
celebrated nurse was a loaf of bread,
which he was given after having been
without food for two days in n south
ern hospital during the civil war.
Mr.. Parker was in the Second Mas
sachusetts regiment, and was wound-
ed at the battle of Cedar mountain by
a confederate's mimic ball that shat
tered both bones of his right arm be-
low the elbow, al.d also smashed the ell
bow joint, so that he had to lose the
arm below the elbow.
He stopped the bullet on Saturday,
August 0, 1862, and the following Mon
day afternoon the operation was per-
formed. Parker was taken from the
field to the Episcopal church at Gull
peper, Va. which had been converted

CIVIL WAR COFFEE.
1t Was Pounded In the Soldiers Tin
Cups with Their IrOn-Hnnd-
led Knives.

"Did you ever see the big quart tin
cups furnished to the army during the
civil ware" asked a man in n group
who were talking about coffee, re-
lates the Detroit Free Press. "Thosc
tin cups were the real article, the best
quality of heavy tin-almost as thick
and durable as sheet iron.
II still have the one that l carried
all through the war; also my knife
and fork, tin platter end spoon. Money
couldn't buy them. Whenever l look
at that old tin cup it brings back a
sound which j have never heard any
where but in soldiers camp. In the
early morning, when the men were
getting breakfast, this curious clatter
rang all through the camp; every sol
der was pounding his ration of coffee
in his big tin cup with the iron handle
of his knife. The army couldn't carry
grinders around with them, and pound
ing the coffee was the only way we had
of making it fine enough to extract it's
essence by boiling. Some of us got so
expert that you could hardly have told
our pounded coffee from coffee ground
in a mill, but it took time and pa
| tience.
my old tin cup is battered in the
bottom like beaten brass plaque.
I'd like to show it to you. But with all
that banging and hard usage it never
sprang a leak. No, stree, Uncle Sam's
tin cups were made for rough service,
and they staid by us until the war was
over"
