w who were in Washington today warmly commented on the race question plank placed in the Maryland democratic platform last night throf 1.-the initiative of Senator German. s4 after the senator returned from Europe last month he was quoted as saying that the negro question was now one of the most im- portant before the country and the reve- latlon of this view in the shape of a state platform has lent new interest to the matter.
 Maryland leading off with such pro- nounced view on the question is thought by many to mean that the next national democratic platform will also give att tenton to the subject and force the re- publicans to take up the issue. With the exception of President Roosevelt, Representative Crumpacker of Indiana, and few others the republicans, as party, are averse to agitation, as was

Coffee is so often unsuspected in the

illustra tiors of this kind are interesting.
A lady in West Townsend, Mass.,> says:
tI did not begin drinking coffee until

commenced l began to have headaches
and a dull. heavy. stupid feeling. These
symptoms grew worse until I was i'll but
7 had no suspicion that coffee was the
cause of the trouble. Il could not get up
any strength, and after dragging around
half sick for some time, was sent off on
a visit to see if the change would do me
good l soon began to feel better, and at
The end of three weeks felt perfectly we'll

Before leaving I had a. long talk with
nv friend as to the cause of my getting
better. I had taken no medicine OF any
kind, and the food was about the same
as at home, the coffee was particularly
rich. strong and palatable. I complt-
rnented her on the coffee and asked what
kind she used. She told me Postum,
which | absolutely, could not believe. 1

idea that Postum Food Coffee was fiat

..AIv friend said she had been using it
Tor two wears because when she drank
the old fashioned coffee it kept her sick
half the time. Then it dawned on me
like flash of light that the old fash
joned coffee was the cause of my trouble
and sickness and that leaving it off ND
using Postum for three weeks had made
me well. ~, &.

GOOD TIMES IN THE WEST.

Prosperity Will Continue.

George Gould Says Present Era or
Prosperity Will Continue.
After careful survey of conditions in
the West, George j. Gould, who has re-
turned to Lakewood, n. j., from trip
over the Missouri Pacific and Wabash
lines, is convinced that the present era
of prosperity which the West is enjoy
ing will continue for at least another
year.
in all my experience in the West"
Mr.. Gould said, II have never seen
wheat look as we'll as it does to-day. 1t
is too early to speak of corn or cotton,
but as the soil is thoroughly water
soaked these crops ought to thrive amaz-
ingly. The railroads won't have any
trouble in moving the great wheat crop,
but think we will all be short of cars
in the fall if there is a big corn crop.
The physical condition of the Western
roads was never better than it is now.
Il heard no talk of money shortage
while l was in the West. The banks are
holding their own balances in their
vaults and they won't have to draw on
New York for money to move crops.
From what / saw / believe that this
practice of drawing on New York, as 1t
is called, will be an uncommon occur
renee in the future. The Western bank
ers have their own money to lend to their
own people, unless money should get 50
high in Wall street as to make it profit
able to send it East. From all indica-
tons l can see n full year of prosperity
ahead for the West"

LIKE THE OLD HOME IN ERIN.
~~%~~
Wealthy Ptsbug Man Has Fine Reproduction His Yard the
Ancient Family House in Ireland
~~(~~(~

The finest replication of an Irish
house in America, says the Pittsburg
Chronicle-Telegraph, stands in the
yard of James R. Mellon, corner Of
North Negley and Rippey streets, East
End. 1t has been erected regardless
Of cost, and is an exact duplicate Of
the ancestral home in Ireland, where
Judge Thomas Mellon, now in his Goth
yeaf, was born in 1873.
1t is built of stone, has small light
windows, is matched, the annex coy
cred with Antwerp tile, the house is
covered with vining roses and the
building is veritable thing of beauty.
The home in Ireland stood near the
banks of Tough Foyle, at Camp Hill
Cottage, Lower Castleton, Parish of
Cuppaugh, County Tyrone. 1t was
built by Judge Melons grandfather,
and occupied by the judges father,
Andrew Mellon, who came to America
in 1918. landing at Baltimore with his
large family. 1t required three weeks
to cross the mountains in Conestoga
wagon to Greensburg.

CAUSE OF COWS STRANGE BEHAVIOR
amateur Farmers Much Alarmed Over Antics Of Animal Who Ony
Wanted to Be MIXED.

The playwright, Glen Marlborough,
tells a good story on himself, apropos
of his first attempt to try to lead a
rural life. He and two other friends
hired, some years ago, an old farm
house in New Jersey. They would
go out every night one summer, doing
all their own work about the house
and living on viands which they had
brought out from their clubs. After
they had been in the country about
three weeks it occurred to them that
there was one thing necessary to COM
plete the rural landscape. They had
no COW. So they went to the nearest
town and purchased an animal that
was warranted pure Jersey. The COW
was installed on the front lawn and
became so tame that she slept on the
piazza and wandered about every
where like good club fellow. One
morning in coming out of the house to
catch the early train the three men
we're much alarmed at the odd con-
duct Of their new purchase. She was
in fierce mood, believing and lash
ing her tail. AS McDonough went
toward the gate she made one wild

nier, says that he can remember when
his relatives, the MELONS, came down
the slopes of the Laurel hill into the
beautiful Ligonier valley. The family
came near settling at Eldersridge,
where the father had been negotiating
for farm, but had, decided to buy
near Turtle creek.
When James r. Mellon visited the
old home in Ireland couple of years
ago he brought home with him the
cornerstone Of the old house, with the
letters "A. NJ" and 1900" carved
upon it. and this stone now has a
place in the house he has built, just
over the old fashioned open fireplace.
The andirons and some ether relics
are also from the old house in Ireland.
It is quaint sight and it touches
sentimental chords to enter the East

rush at him and he was forced to
seek refuge in tree. she held the
rest OF the party prisoners for some
time. 1t was in July, and fearfully
lot day. There was no doubt about
it. The COW was mad. The manag-
ing editor of a newspaper, who was
one of the party, made his escape by
window and the back way, and hast
ehed to town to consult a veterinary
surgeon. This gentleman consented
TO go down to the farm for $40 down,
and his railroad fare. He arrived,
and the besieged man watched the
proceedings with interest. The COW
had settled down, but still looked
wild. The vet approached. He look

ONE OF THE GALLONS OF SPAN.
Mystery IN Disnnaned Hulk Which Has Evidently for Geners
tons in the Pacific Ocean.

Under the waters of San Diego hay.
over by Point Iona, Cal, in the vicin.
aty OF the quarantine station, lies the
dismantled hulk of some ancient gal
leon, which has probably lain there
Tor generations. AS to how it got
there and as to whether it belonged
TO Cabrillo or the fleet of some other
explorer can be merely a matter of
surmise. but its construction indicates
that it is of very ancient date. 1t is
SAID that the Portuguese fishermen
have knownoot its whereabouts for a
long time past, as they sail over the
water all about that section,
1t remained, however, for two young
men, John Sleeves and companion,
one day recently to bring in the first
tangible proof of its existence. In
some manner they learned of the
whereabouts Of the old vessel, and
there being an exceptionally low tide
they started out to investigate it.
After some little difficulty they locat
ed part of the bow of what seemed
to have once been large vessel OF
very ancient construction.
As far as they could get out in the
water they found some ten feet Of the
bow, and the rest probably lies be-
yond that in deep water. To consid

cradle extent the heavy planking has
been torn off by the tides which have
swept over the old hulk for many
years, leaving bare huge ribs over a
foot in diameter, showing the vessel
to have been large one. Upon in
vestigation of the planking which re.
manned they found that in the whole
construction not single piece of iron
or nails in any form had been used
by the builders. Most of the planks
had been attached by means of wood.
en- pins, and what was still more re-
markable they found in several spikes
OF copper.
With considerable difficulty they
removed one or two of the spikes and
brought them back to the city,. The
spikes are about six inches long and
plainly forged out by hand.
The wreck is matter of much
speculation among those who have
known of its existence and there
might be an interesting tale in con.
nection with it. The probabilities are
that it is one of the deserted galleons
OF some old Spanish adventurer of an.
cient days, which was sunk in the
sands and had been gradually worn
away by the action Of a century s

Ingenious Excuse That the Boy Offered
