And William Was More Than Ea!f
Rqht About the Matter.

Right About the Matter.
IN certain mountain town lived a
little boy of four who was very much
frightened at the thought of bear
in fact, it was the only animal or thing
he was afraid of-and his mother in
trying to keep him from running into
the street and playing in the irrigating
bitches, and wandering away to a lit
tie unkept park, told him he must not
go, for there were bears there. Thi1
f.ighte :!as9 william Ii !! and the next day
ne sat on the doorstep in very quiet
and thoughtful mood. When asked by
the village clergyman, who was pass
ing by, why he did not go out and play,
William replied, II must not go out
of the gate, for there are bears in the
road and down in the park" The min
lister laughingly replied, mo, there's
no bears anywhere around" but Will
lam insisted that there were, as his
mamma had told him that there were
The minister said, Lets go in and
ask mamma about it, and mamma
had to acknowledge that she had SIM
ply told William that to keep him from
running away from home. When
alone with the little boy the mother
said: Mamma is sorry that she told
you a story about the bears, and
guess that we had better ask God to
forgive her." whereupon william said:
Mamma, you had better let me ask
God, for maybe he wouldn't believe
you."-Lipincott's Magazine.

ART OF REST.

May Be Acquired and Used With
Great Benefit.
Complete and restful poise of the
body and mind is an art not easily
gained.
Perhaps nothing brings one al
much content, comfort, happiness
and pleasure as those conditions of
easy, restful, resourceful and well
balanced mind and body, that make of
work a pleasure and the daily life
happy and peaceful.
The nervous housewife busy with
hundred duties and harrassed by chill
(rel; the business man, worried with
the press of daily affairs, debts, ETC.,
cannot enjoy the peace and res1ful
rerose and healthful nervous balance
unless they know how
There is a way First and foremost
the stomach must be consulted. That
means leaving off coffee absolutely,
for the temporary stimulant and the
resulting depression is sure ruin to
the nervous system, and the whole
condition Of health and happiness
rests upon stomach, nerves and mind.
Start with the stomach, that is the
keystone to the whole arch. Stop
using things that break down it's
power, upset it's nervous energy and
prevent the proper digestion of the
food and the consequent manufacture
of healthful blood and nerves, brain
and tissues.
When you quit coffee take on Pos
tum Food Coffee. That is like STOP
ping the payment Of interest and
starting on a career where you are
loaning money and receiving interest.
The good results are double You
stop poisoning the system with coffee
and start building up the broken down
nerve cells by powerful elements con-
tanned in Postum. These are pure
food elements ably selected by ex-
perts for the purpose of supplying
just the thing required by Nature to
perform this rebuilding.
These are solid, substantial facts,
and can be proven clearly to the sat-
isfaction Of anyone by personal ex-
perience. Try the change yourself
and note how the old condition of
shattered nerves and worried mind
changes to thai feeling of restful poise
of a well balanced nervous system.
The managing physician Of by
gienic sanitarium in Indiana says that
for five years in his practice lie has
always insisted upon the patients
leaving off coffee and taking Postum

which makes possible the use of the
old machine with motor attachment
We would suggest, nevertheless, that
the rear wheel be replaced by one of
slightly stronger build, as the in
creased weight and the force of the
motor will soon expose any weakness
which may exist in spokes or rim. AS
the motor is shown there is little, it
any, added strain placed on the tubu-
lar frame, which is a strong point in
it's favor when the attachment to old
bicycles is considered. The driving
hub should be provided with coaster
brake, and a second sprocket wheel is
necessary to connect with the mo-
tor, while the gasoline reservoir and
electric outfit can be arranged as
usual on motor cycles. a}t,.. -s. -

Telegraph Wires as Barometers.

Telegraph wires as Barometers.
A new use has been found for tele-
graph wires. DR.. Laska, a Polish
meteorologist, has studied the hum
ming sound they emit occasionally,
and has found that it is not caused by
the wind, as commonly supposed.
Eydam's observations, extending oyer
several years, show that these sounds
always indicate the approach of rain,
snow or storm, and Laska inclines
to the belief that they are in some
way caused by terrestrial vibrations
induced by meteorological changes.

Motor for the Bicycle.

The large majority of those who
few years ago took up cycling as an
amusement have been unable to re-
place the bicycle with the automo-
bile, now that the latter has made it's
appearance, and have had to be con-
tent to stick to the wheel or find some
other form of pastime to afford exer-
else and occupy their spare moments.
AS a slightly cheaper vehicle than
the regular horseles carriage, and a
number of these machines may be
Iseen every day in populated districts,
but heretofore no provision has been
made for attaching motor to the old
bicycle and it has been necessary to
provide an entirely new frame to car
ry the engine which propels the cycle.
The usual method of mounting the
motor for running the two-wheeled
machine is to place it in circular
frame in the position occupied by the
crank shaft in the regular. bicycle.
However, this is made unnecessary
by the invention which we illustrate,

Too Rich to Keep.

A good story comes from the
county seat.
1t seems that boy confined in
the county jail, for completely in
store robbery at Bloomington, has
been given considerable liberty
about the court house, running err
rands. etc. Not long ago he over
heard a conversation between Jas.
Kedman and Walter Hoge about
lumber deal, which involved big
amount of money that was to pass
to them. The boy somehow got
hold Of the check, which was for
more than $500, and forged the
Montpelier Lumber Co.'s name to
1t as endorsers, and sent it to the
bank here for collection, with in
structions to send him the money.
Assistant Cashier Groo knew IN a
minute that it was forgery, SO, to
gain time, he wrote the boy for
further instructions as to how he
should send the money. Then he
notified Mr.. Redman.
As the boy is "dead'' in the eyes
of the law nothing will be done
with him. But 1t isn't likely
Deputy Hoge will allow him so
much liberty in the future. He
might have kept the bank busy
cashing Montpelier Lumber Co,
checks If let alone till spring.
