Humorous Experience Told of the Late
Phil May.

Phil May. the English black.and.

of himself: From the very beginning
found firm friend In Charles Alias,
who kept me busy at costume designs.
| remember one night he and and
some other friends bought out whole
wlnltle stall in Maiden lane and
wheeled 1t all over the place. dlstrlb-
nting the wrinkles TO every one we met,
until the police interfered with our
generosity. Once | was very busy on
some dress designs which Mr. Alias
required at a very particular time.
The constant and hard work made me
fretful and impatient and mt the most
inconyenient times-for hlm--I often
wandered out. and my return was al
ways uncertain. BY preventing these
outings he hoped to keep me steadily
at work. and so. as | only wore slip
pers in the studio. he hit on the idea
of hiding my boots. When | took II
into my head to go out could not
find my boots anywhere. so drew on
a pair OF Turkish boots OF crimson
leather and went into the Strand.

relief from the terrific attacks OF

tad suffered for 80 years.

but none helped me.
Soon after | stopped drinking cof'
fee and began to drink Postum the
headaches grew less and 1t was not
long until | was entirely cured and

tressing trouble for nowadays I never
drink coffee but stick 10 Postum.
"As soon as my wife saw what Pos
tum had done for me shs gave up
coffee. which she had drank all her
life. This was six weeks ago and
she is a changed woman. for her ner-
'vousness has all disappeared and her
lace has become smooth and her
cheeks have good rosy red color.
She sleeps well. too. something she
could never do while she drank cof-

A MATTER OF HABIT.
Aeeentuated by Sunday Stops at Way
side Rumoriums.


Il was visiting the famous Green.
week" said a returned vacationist,
when l happened to witness in the
cemetery an Incident that was emf
nently New York-ese.
There arrived at the cemetery the
funeral procession of the guard of
Brooklyn elevated train. who had been
killed In an accident. Six OF the dead
mans companion guards on the Brook
lyn l. acted as pallbearers. They were
all crowded into one carriage. and by
the time the procession reached the
cemetery two or three of them, after
numerous hasty stops at rumoriums
along the route, were pretty much to
tho bad. When the hcarse came to a
halt at the grave the pallbearers
scrambled not very steadily out OF
their carriage. There was benign
and woozy grin on the features of one
of them as the rear doors OF the
hearse were opened by the under
taker. He winked around at the other
pallbearers made a funnel OF his
hands. and in horse. husky voice
he gave that well-known call of the l.
conductor when the train has reached
the end of tho route:
All out-both gates.'
THE incongruity of the crack, to
speak in that mild way didn't strike
any OF the others. On the contrary
they all grlnned npproyingly at the
cut'up. p."-Washington Post.

Hot weather was a great revenue
