TWICE WON.
Wife Fell in Love with Husband Gan
Over Again"

The wife of a well-llrown attorney ~;
law of Seward, Nebr tells the tai,
worth reading: MY husband was d
soldier in the Civil War and was. as
ne called himself IAN old coffee cooler
ana had always drank very strong
coffee.
About year ago he complained of D
feeling of faintness every time afte,
climbing his office stairs and was aIsr
troubled by terrible headaches tina;
almost drove him wild
He gradually grew weaker and
weaker until his afIliction eliminated in
nervous collapse and for weeks he
seemed to be fading away from US in
spite Of all our efforts.
The physicians pronounced hin,
strong and we'll with no organic trouble
Whatever and there seemed to be moth
ing the matter except the complete Civ
ing out Of his nervous system.
The doctors decided that coffee was
at the bottom Of all his trouble and
ordered Postum Cereal in it's place. Ec
improved daily since he quit coffee and
began drinking Postum and now saws
he feels better than he has felt for %
years, headaches are gone, no more
fainting spells and is gaining in flesh
every day and he seems so much
younger and heartier and happier than
ne has for years that l have fallen in
love with him over again.
Now for my brothers case: a few
years ago he had a peculiar trouble.
His tongue was swollen and sore at the
roots and covered underneath with
testers.
He thought his affection was of a
cancerous nature and his doctor was Of
the same opinion. He could scarcely
cat anything and became SO poor and
run down he was simply a nervous
wreck. He consulted various physi-
clans but none were able to diagnose
his case Or help him in the least.
''At last doctor to whom he applied
said ne believed my brother was coffee
poisoned and advised him to quit coffee
and drink Postum. He gave him no
medicine but told him to give Postum
fair trial and return to him in
6 weeks. My brother mad used Postum
only about ten days when the testers
disappeared from his tongue and at the
end of two weeks the soreness and
swelling were gone and he began 20
nick I'D in flesh and spirits.
He has never touched coffee since
hut drinks Postum all the time and has
never had the slightest return of the
trouble.
ITO look at my experience is it any
wonder can write heartfelt testi-
monial for Postum Name given by

squadron, consisting of eight war
ships, including two batteships, has
arrived at Chemulpo. the port Of
Seoul, capital of Corea, to support
Russia's opposition to the proposed
opening of Yongampho to the COM
merce of the world. The Russians
threaten to land 5000 men and march
on Seoul should Corea disregard their
warning.
London. Dec 9.-The Toxic dispatch
announcing the arrival of a Russian
fleet off Chemulpo. was communicated
to the foreign office here by The Assoc
ciated Press and was received with
apprehension, although it was not con-
firmed by any foreign Office dispatches
from the Far East. 1t was said that
if the information from Toxic is COR
rect it would almost certainly nullify
any negotiations. however pacific. now
pending between Russia and Japan.
The Japanese legation had no con-
firmation Of the Toxic report, and
Baron Hayashi. the japanese minister,
said to The Associated Press that he
was inclined to discredit it.
London, Dec. 10.-NO further news
has been received here showing that
the reported arrival of Russian
squadron ct Chemulpo, has any signi-
fcance beyond that indicated i'm recent
dispatches. The names of the vessels
which have arrived at Chemulpo are
not given. therefore, their identifica-
ton is impossible.
The Telegraph's correspondent states
that the situation has undergone no
change except for an increase in the
tension, due to the protraction of the

Protest of an Audience Against Bern
hardt's Loss Of a Servant.
Sarah Bernhardt was once playing at
MarseilleS in a spectacular play in
which she made her entree accom-
panied by six Turkish slaves. A line
on the programme announced that
these six Turks would accompany
Nine. Bernhardt, but when the time
came for them to go ON one of the
youngsters had disappeared. Sarah
mustered the five in order, says the

house was crowded, but not handicap

Fifty voices Immediately took up the
strain, and in ten seconds more the
whole house was shouting the same
phrase. Bernhardt strained every
nerve to catch what they were COM
planning about. She knew the phrase
began with 'Manque,' but the rest of
it was lost in the general hubbub.
For a full minute the tumult continued.
Then Sarah, muttering things below
her breath, rushed like fury down to
the footlights. In the front row the
actress had spotted one man who was
not taking part in the hullabaloo.
Pointing at him, the actress exclaimed,
sternly: you seem to be the only sensi-
BILE person in this house. Tell me what
on earth they are kicking up this row
for?" The man rose, bowed to the
actress, and remarked, in very bad

RENTING SAUn Ed ANIMALS,
Merchants in the City Use Th ON to
Make a Display In the HOlt-
day Season.

The trade in stuffed animals gets
brisker with the approach OF the hol-
iday season. 81 don't mean by that"
said a William street axidermist,
according to the New York Times,
that we are selling more Of them.
We are not. We never do sell stuffed
beasts in herds at this time of the
year, but our renting list swells pro-
digiously People whose business re-
quires them to use stuffed animals and
bird as an rtisement generally
want an extra duck or dog or bear
two preceding and following Christ
mas. A trademark of this kind of
good quality costs anywhere from IS
to SIS and as those that are used mere
ly as 'supers' are needed only few
months in the year, it is cheaper to
rent them than buy them outright
Almost every merchant in town, Of
high or low degree, makes an extra
splurge at this season by exhibiting
pOla bear or some other festive ami
NAL, consequently our rentals amount
to a rather nice income. Some sea
sons we do a pretty thriving business
with theatrical companies, also, but
this year the drama seems to have be-
art for it's effects, and our orders for
property fowls and quadrupeds have
been few"
