HAMPERS BUSINESS.
Coffee Drinking Incapacitates Some
 People for Business at Times.

A gentleman from McBain, Michigan, says: Coffee drinking has cost me much, for during my life l have been many times so thoroughly put out of condi- ton that I have been compelled to aban- don business for day or two at a time. The attacks of headache would com mence on the right side behind the ear and become so severe as to totally inca citate me for any exercise, even mental. | have frequently had to take morphine to relieve the suffering. Sour stomach troubled me and I had a nervous heart that gave me a great deal of trouble.
 Four years ago I saw an advertisement fo, Postum Food Coffee which recited the iu effects of coffee on the nerves. I at nrce decided to make the change and leave off coffee and take on Postum. The result has teen all that one could expect.
 am never constipated any more, the bilious attacks never come on except from some in1iscretion such as drinking coffee. which I am foolish enough to indulge in now and then. l have no more headaches no more sour stomach ana no bilious spells I have not been SICK to my stomach or had a nervous vomiting spell in three years. Am now 5b years old. and have better health and do bet ter business and more comfortable than ever before in my life, l certainly at tribute the change to leaving oil coHee and using Postum for 1 have taken no medicine to aid in maxi 1g the change.
 The experiment as stated is absolutely true. I am willing. if necessary, to at tach my afidavit to it." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Cl eek, Mich.

CROSSED THE DEAD LINE.
Action Caused Q Hot Fight 1
 Cramped Quarters.


 Cramped Quarters.
 Mary Thornton and Nancy Manning, who live in the same house. near Hen drix's Mill, on the Mobile Road. could not agree on the use of the six-foot yard attached to the house, and their dtf- ferences led up to a fight which brought Mary into the court of Justice w. .. Fuller on the charge of assault and bat tery with Nancy as the prosecuting wit ness.
 The yard Is so small that tall man could step over 1t with little effort and an imaginary line was drawn through II and, under an agreement Mary's children played on one of the three-foot squares formed by the line. and Nancy's children played on the other.
 This dead line was crossed. and the children fought. Nancy rushed out and' as one witness testified, Lowed Marys chillun didn't have no raising nohow."
 Thereupon hostilities began. The six-foot yard made rather cramp- ed ring for the contest, but all witnesses agreed that a hot fight was put up by both parties. and the little arena looked like a bit of a piowed field before the combatants could be prized apart.
 Justice Fuller was of the opinion that Mary precipitatsd the difiiculty and fined her.

 Wages and Cost of Living.

Boston Globe.
 Tn his report to the British Foreign Of flee. Sir Percy Sanderson, British Consul General in New York. presents some roseate figures as to the conditions of three years preceding 1901 wages in New York for instance rose from $2.7S to $2.9l in sixteen leading trades. But 1t is not to be forgotten that against this increase of Is per cent the cost of living rose 26 per cent. It makes little difference how much a mans wages increases if increas- ed cost of necessaries is to follow close at his heels. These things should not be forgotten in reviewing the lot of la- bor.

 ?. Same; sufficiency of verdict of jury On trial under an indictment for mur- der. verdict of the jury that we, the jury find th@Ndefendant guilty of murder in the first degree and shall suffer death, ' though not in proper form, Is sufficient to support a judgment of the court ad- judging the defendant guilty of murder in the first degree and the sentence that he shall suffer death.
 g.
