Agent Stephens Leaves.

Ransom Stephens who has held the
position as agent at this place for the
past year. left Thursday morning for
Chickasha, Indian Territory, where
he goes to accept the position as agent
at that place at much higher salary
then he received here.
The writer has known Mr.. Stephens
for the past nine years. Our first ac-
quaintance with him was at Jennings
where he did his first work as teIe-
gragh operator, and since then he has
gradually worked his way up with the
company until he now has the fourth
highest position OH the system as
agent.
Mr.. Stephens is a 80 degree Mason
and is considered one of the best post
ed lodge men in the state. The
Phillipsburg lodge on Wednesday
evening presented him with a beauti-
ful Mason's watch charm valued at
$500 for which the members received
his utmost thanks,
Mr. and Mrs. Stephens have made
many warm and lasting friends during
their short stay in our city, of whom
all wish them prosperity in their new
home at Chickasha.
@. E. Ingram, the new agent at this
place was checked in on Wednesday.
He seems to be very pleasant gentle
man and we welcome him among us.

The young man should learn early
in life that he can't beat work. It's
got to be done by somebody and the
philosophy of the thing is to choose
the kind that he thinks he will like
the best. The most unhappy man is
the one who has nothing to do: the
happiest one is he who is so busily en-
gagged in pleasurable occupati on
that he does not realize that time is
flying. So, young man, choose your
occupation aud go az 1t, If you wish
to be happy.-Hiawatha World.

WRITES INTERESTING TALE.

The author OF Under Palmetto and Pine

j. W. Carhart of La Grange, Texas in addition to
his literary efforts is Woodworking physician In
general practice.
He writes Interestingly of how his freedom from
heart trouble gained by leaving off coffee and
using Postum IN Its place. II drank coffee in the
ordinary form for many years. nervous trouble in
volving disturbance Of the hearts action resulted
"On coming to Texas / fell into the habit of
drinking coffee after hard cold rides in my practice
o. when in camp on the trail. My heart trouble
soon became exceedingly aggravating resulting in
frequent attacks Of what was pronounced angina
pectorls, q agonzlng pain the heart
extending to the back and sometimes down the
left arm.
In some Of these attacks but for the timely ad-
ministration of morphine injected hypodermicaIly
could have survived but q short time.
AT different times abandoned the use Of coffee
believing 1t the cause of my troubles and invari-
ably improved, but l had nothing satisfactory
to take its place in the way OF beverage /
turned to its use.
The literature of Postum Cereal Coffee came to
my notice and resolved to try 1t. The directions
for preparation were strictly followed and found
1t agreeable. appetzing invigoratng table bev-

The doctor further refers to the widespread
prevalence Of heart trouble from the OF coffee
and tobacco, and speaks of the advantage gained
by patients when they leave Of coffee and take
Postum.
1T must also be added that the poison of the
coffee does affect the heart in some patients,
| but shows Its work In the stomach and bowels
with one, perhaps in the eyes with another, and

1t Is never possible to tell just where the result

If elected the congress reluctantly looked
about for another national head and finally
selected Mrs Frederic Schoff of Pennsyl-
vania. 1t is said that she really belongs to
the state. but she has a beautiful home in
Philadelphia, as all know who have been
entertained there.
Mrs. Schoff is one of the women who be-
lieves that charity begins at home but in
this particular her ideal of home is the
great big world and so her name is con-
nected with all the philanthropc scheme S

and the unfortunate. The Century Club OF
Philadelphia. Of which Mrs. Schoff is Il
member, is one of the largest and most in
fluential clubs of women in the country, its
membership rea aching about 600. This club
started out to have Juvenile courts of law
established in the large cities of Pennsyl-
Tania. and took the matter into the state
legislature At the head Of a committee
from the Century Club, and assisted by
Miss Mary Garrett, the celebrat ted teacher
and worker among deaf and dumb children,
Mrs. SchOff descended upon the Pennsyl-

urer-elect, Is wrapped up in the kindergar-
ten work and its practical application. She
believes that If the mind Of the child is
put to work on practical things as soon as
1t begins to expand. 1t will have no oppor-
tunfty to imbibe hurtful ideas, and no op-
pcrtunity to work them out. She has an
other hobby which she exploits most beau
tffully, and that is model nurseries. The
national congress of mothers has several
times profted by the display that Mrs. Du-
bois has made of the most improved ar
ticles of furniture, and hygienic beds and
cribs for the nursery. and she is earnestly
enthusiastic about 1t all. Mrs Dubois has
executive ability Of a high order and Is
one Of the practical workers in the mother
clubs. though one of the youngest women
actively engaged in the congress work.
Miss Kate Wean of Chicago. who was
elected corresponding secretary, has been
prominently engaged in club work for
number Of years.
Mrs. Mears Elected Auditor.
Mrs. J. p. Dolliver of Iowa, who was
elected auditor, has declined the honor con-
ferred. Her domestic and social duties are
SO exacting that she does not care to add
other burdens. After canvass of the con-
gress it was found that the sentiment was
quite unanimous for Mrs. Mears wife of
Rev. David o. Mears of Albany, n. Y, for
the office. Mrs. Mears is president of the
New York State Assembly of Mothers and
has been for years prominently identified
with the mother and other club work. Her
life is busy one. for she is a speaker of
note and is engaged in all the phianthropic
projects of her state.
Mrs. Mears was Mrs. Schoff's most for
midable opponent for the national presi-
dency, but withdrew her name in the in
terest of absolute harmony in a speech
that cemented anew the bonds of Paternity
in the congress Though regretting Mrs.
Delivers decision not to serve, the presi-
dent and her cabinet will be delighted to
have Mrs. MeafS with them.
Honorary President for Life.
Following the election Of officers was one
of those pretty scenes of womanly senti-
ment which Is apt to crop out when least
expected. Mrs. Birney, who has been loved
like an elder sister, was about to retire
from Office and 1t occurred to many of the
delegates that they could not quite give her
up, and they had no desire to shelve her
by making her an honorary president only,
for then she could not be an active member
Of the board, where they desired to have
her. 1t was finally decided to make her an
honorary president for life, in honor of hav-
ing been the founder of the society. This
action was taken, and she is to have the
title of founder and is to have vote
upon the board if it can be arranged SO as
not to conflict with the constitution. 1t
was pretty tribute prettily paid.

Mrs. Mumford has been very prominent in

trail till the bill for the juvenile court was
passed and signed by the governor, and
then she never rested till the courts were
established in Philadelphia.
Effects of the Law.
1t is said that before the passage of the
bill there were some 800 children aged from
six to sixteen years, imprisoned in Phia-
delphia alone, among hardened criminals.
The juvenile court law provides that no
child under fourteen shall be placed in Jail
or tried in an ordinary court, but that q
special place shah be provided for their
detention and trial. There are like courts
in Illinois, and also in Massachusetts. and
it is said that they work spendid!y toward
saving the unfortunate youths and young
girls, for whom every effort is made to
find suitable homes The system has just
been established In Washington, with prom
Use of great benefit.
For all time the name of Mrs. Schoff
will be prominently connected with this
great philanthropy. She is an ardent and
enthusiastic worker in women's clubs. She
