Shad Changed Their Homes.

Shad are very scarce in Connecticut
waters. but appeared in large numbers
in the Ohio river, profitable catch
having been made within five miles of
Cincinnati. Before 1876 shad were
never caught in the Ohio. The first
one taken in that year was considered
such curiosity that II was sent TO
the Smithsonian Institution.

So rapidly did he gain the esteem Of
his new companions. that when they
reached the end of their wanderings
it was unanimously agreed that he
should be provided with as large and
as fertile a tract Of land as any Of the
settlers. with the exception OF Young
himself and of Stangerson. Kimball,
Johnson and Drebbar. who were the
four principal elders.
On the farm thus acquired John Fer
rier built himself substantial log
house, which received SO many addi-
tons in succeeding years that it grew
into a roomy villa.
In three years he was better off than
his neighbors. in six he was well-to-do.
in nine he was rich and in twelve
there were not half dozen men in the
whole of Salt Lake City who could
compare with him.
There was one way. and only one, in
which he offended the susCeptibilities
OF his co-religioniStS.
There We're some who accused him
OF lukewarmnesS in his adopted relig-
ion. and others who put it down to
greed of wealth and reluctance to in
cur expense.
Whatever the reason. Terrier re-
manned strictly celibate In every
other respect he Conformed to the re-
ligion of the young settlement, and
gained the name of being an ortho-
dOX and straight-walking man.
Lucy Terrier grew up within the log
house and assisted her adopted father
in all his undertakings
The keen air of the mountains and
the balsamic odor of the pine trees
took the place of nurse and mother to
the young girl.
AS year succeeded to year she grew
taller and stronger. her cheek more
ruddy. and her step more elastic.
Many a wayfarer upon the high road
which ran by Terriers farm felt long
forgotten thoughts revive in his mind
as he watched her 1.-the. girlish figure
tripping through the wheat fields. or
met her mounted upon her fathers
mustang. and managing it with all the
ease and grace of true child of the
West
So the bud blossomed into flower
and the year which saw her father the
richest of the farmers left her as fair
a specimen Of American girlhood as
could be found in the whole Pacific
slope.

Wouldn't it make your friend mad to
tell her she was in reality a drunkard,
but many women are drunkards uncon-
sclously from the use of coffee, which
wrecks their nervous systems, and they
seem unable to reform.
a lady in Philadelphia, Pa, was very
badly affected by coffee causing her to
have nervous prostration, and she finally
woke up to the fact that she was in real
ity q coffee drunkard. Her doctor had
told her that she must give up coffee,
but she seemed unable to do it.
One day she read an advertisement
about Postum Food Coffee and thought
she would give it trial. She says:
Coffee had such a strong hold on me,
that at first did not make it all Postum,
but added tablespoonful of coffee.
After while quit putting coffee in it at
all. and soon found I felt much better.
Continued use stopped my. headaches and
and / soon noticed that my.

else. and the smell of coffee makes me
sick.

Attorney-General w. A. Anderson left

hearing Of the Felts case that comes up

State jurisdiction. The case has attract
&c considerable interest throughout the
State.
