A Question Of Diet.

Emil Zola. or one of the novellst's
advocates, has stated that round the
stomach and It's functions gathers half
the Importance and interest of life.
With the correctness of the conclu-
sions that the realist school draw from
this we have nothing to do. but there
Is certainly something to be said for
.he premiss. A lady married to a
German husband sought a separation
on the ground that he neglected to
provide suitable maintenance for her
and the children. 1t appeared that he
used to buy dogs meat at I'd a pound.
and receive from Germany salted her
rings, green cheese, and black bread;
and to give the green cheese and
black bread a relish this German
spouse made a special preparation Of
goose fat to serve as butter. The lady
did not get her separation. and we can
only hope that she and her husband
may come to some arrangement about
the characteristics Of suitable food.
There was no other cause OF disagree
ment between them, and we can only
repeat the tlme-honored advice Of

One day in the early part OF 1870
a young man named Samuel NJ. Bryan.
clerk in the Postofiice Department
at Washington, received notice that
his services were no longer needed.
Incompetency was the reason given
for his dismissal When he looked
over his stock in trade he found that
1t consisted of something less than
800 in money and great idea. A
few days later he started West. AZ
ter many vlcissitudes he reached San
Francisco, where he secured employ
ment as purser on a steamship bound
for Japan, and in due time found him
self in Toxic.
Once in Japan's great city he at
once proceeded to put his great idea
into execution. What he proposed
was to perfect and put into operation
in Japan a postal system modelled
after that of the United States.
Bryan found willing listeners among
the high Japanese officials, and in due
time was requested to prepare a pros
pectus of his postal system to be sub
mitted to the Emperor. It's value was
at once recognized. and it was ordered
to be put into effect Bryan was
placed at the head of the new depart.
ment. with a salary of $1,000 a year.
and intrustcd with the negotiation Of
a postal treaty between Japan and
the United States
A few months later he was back
in Washington as the envoy of the
Japanese government, treating on
equal terms with the man who had
dismissed him from his clerkship for
incompetency. The treaty. which he
negotiated with skill and diplomacy,
proved entirely satisfactory to all con-
cerned
Bryan remained in the service Of tho
Japanese Government for some fifteen
years. He then returned to the Unit
ed States a.rich man. and now lives ia
one Of the finest residences in Wash
ington. He is still young man and
has years enough before him to de-
velop half a dozen more great ideas.

SAY IT'S FAIRY TALE.
Hancock Reports Holdup, But Is Not
Believed by Police.

T. R. Hancock of 263 South Fifth
West street reported TO the police last
night that he had been held up by two
masked men and robbed of $47 at Fifth
West and Third South streets about
1890 o'clock. According TO his story,
he had been drinking at a saloon in the
neighborhood and was returning home.
When he reached the freight depot Of
the Denver & Rio Grande Western, he
felt tired and leaned against a box car
to rest. He was Inspecting the heav-
only consultations and was quite at
ease, when his rest was rudely dis
turbed by two persons of large proper
tions, one of whom was so rude as 10

bles
He held up his hands according to
the time honored fashion and was re-
lieved OF his wealth by highwayman
No. ?, and the black-faeed people, after
bidding him a courteous good night,
vanished up the yards.
Hancock sought a telephone and told
his troubles to the police.
The patrol wagon was sent to the
place, but the officers accompanying it
found indications that Hancock had
been sporting with the naked truth, so
IL was claimed. and the officers re-
turned home. They said that Hancock
was unable to show them the car
against which he rested his weary
form, and that there were several other
things which induced them to believe
that the complainant had been smok-
ing.

ISTEP BY STEP.
Coffee Gets in It's Fire work.


Watch coffee drinkers and observe
that practically everyone of them has
some form of incipient or fixed disease.
Mrs. +. y. Wright OF san Francisco,
Cal. tells her experience: Il was 20
years old before ever knew the taste
of coffee, and before / commenced
drinking it. I never was troubled In the
least with constipation, but after drink
ing coffee for one year, became con-
stipated to such degree that l had
10 resort to drugs to overcome II.
After three years drinking coffee, l
had cultivated a chronic state of con-
stipation and other annoying symptoms
became manifest. The first thing in
the morning had a headache come on,
a feeling OF nausea. and these symp-
toms would persist until / had drunk
a quantity of coffee. At first. / did
not associate these symptoms with the
habit OF coffee drinking. I thought
my system must be run down. and
felt glad that coffee, instead of pres
cribed drugs. would relieve the weak
ness. Like many people. I lid not
reason from cause 10 effect.
About this time / had an elderly
nurse in my employ. who complained
every morning OF similar symptoms,
and when I suggested mineral wafer,
etc, 10 her for her biliousness. she said:

experiment and commenced the use OF

marvellous and taught us some valuable
truths, and now we would not touch

After / began using Postum, soon
