PREACHER OUTWiTTED, In Another Preachers Family.

Tt is easy to sing the praises of Postum Food Coffee; in fact, l should be most un- grateful did I not" says Mrs. R. B. Wright, the wife of the minister of the First Congregational church of Boise, Idaho.
 Five years ago was nervous wreck and yet hard to convince that coffee was injurious. Postum was recommended by friend and found to be delicious and strengthening. In a short time my nerv- ousness left me and today l am well and hearty without a moments sickness
 My husband has been relieved of bil- iousness by its use and our eldest daugh- ter, who was delicate child. has won derfully improved In health. She has gained in flesh and is stronger than ever before in her life, while I scarcely know have any nerves. The whole family children and all. prefer Postum to coffee.
 How sorry feel when I hear any one say: I don't like Postum.' I know they have not properly prepared it and have frequently suggested another trial-four teaspoonfuls of Postum to a pint of wa ter, which must boil at least 15 minutes after boiling commences, have cups warm and serve very hot with good cream this Is a cup fit for king.
 '1 know many who have been bene- fited from its use; nervousness. dyspep- sia with countless other ills. vanish when Postum becomes the family breakfast drink and coffee is left out.
 At our table recently. a clergyman was asked .. he would not have his cup reflled. He replied, I never allow my self but one cup of coffee. and when n- formed that he had been drinking Pos tum. he exclaimed. Indeed l will have another cup surprised and gratified that he had been outwitted. This was con sidered good joke by the younger mem bers of the family"

ANYTHING BUT CORDIAL.
Charnberlain Meets With Cold Re-
ception at GRAFT Reinet.

Cape Town, Feb. 15.-Mr. Chamber
lain arrived at the most difficult part
of his tour on reaching, today, the town
of GRAF Reinet, situated in wholly
Dutch district. which was the center of
operations during the war. A hostile
reception had been planned, but at the
last moment the intention was ADAM
doned. Nevertheless the welcome ex-
tended to the colonial secretary was
anything but cordial. The Dutchmen
held sullenly aloof from the receptions
and functions. Many of them openly
paraded rebel badges.
The members of the British colony
and the British traders called on Mr..
Chamberlain and complained of boy
cotting at the hands of the Dutch and
the general system of oppression an5
intimidation which was also extended
to the natives because OF the assistance
they rendered the British during the
war.
After receiving an Afrikander depu-
tation. Mr.. Chamberlain made long
speech, in the course of which he re-
buked the Dutchmen in strong terms
for their attitude and frankly warned
them that it was inconsistent with the
enjoyment of the privileges of British
administration. If they wished to pre-
serve their liberties. he said, they must
not allow liberty tor degenerate into IL

VIM. Hooper Young Doesn't Like Pros
poets at Sing Sing.

New York, Feb. 19.-Wm. Hooper
Young was taken from the Tombs, to-
day, to Sing Sing, where he will enter
upon life sentence for the murder OF
Mrs. Anna Pulitzer.
Young founght furiously against his
removal from the prison van to the
train which was to carry him to Sing
Sing and the deputy sheriffs had to
drag him throug the Grand Central
station, which was crowded with peo-
pie anxious TO get a glimpse of him.
His clothes were torn, his hat was
broken in and his collar was torn off.
He fought thus, despite being hand
cuffed between two burly negro prison.
ers like him, sentenced to Sing Sing.
Once on the train, he quoted down
and drew the blinds of the car shut
TO keep out the gaze of the curious.
On the party's arrival at the prison
town., he walked quietly from the sta
ton to the penitentiary.
