She Git d CAB

The corporation lawyer and the
conspicuous financier were waiting for
the board of directors to assemble.
From the Broadway pavement far be-
low the Office window foated frag-
ments of the monologue of a toy fla
kir"
The lawyer said to his friend:
THAT reminds me of the days in
my teens, when got a job driving
the wagon of a medicine fakir in
circuit of the small towns of Ohio.
The doctor had wonderful har-
angue, and 1 listened to it several
times day for three months, until
it became riveted in my memory to
this day. His finest effort went like
this:
In the year of our Lord one thous-
and eight hundred and fifty-four, an
English nobleman and member of par
lament, Sir Richard Seymour Planta-
genet, was travelling in India, casting
his lordly eye over the vast domains
of his sovereign queen. While hunt
ing the mighty three-tusked elephant
of the Ramapootra river, in company
with the Rajah of Calcutta, he was
bitten by cobra de capello, the dead
Hest serpent known to man, ladies
and gentlemen, whose bite is fatal in
the space of one-half hour by the
clock.
"tSir Richard wrote his will on the
leaf of the papyrus plant and said
farewell to his weeping friends, when
native staggered up, torn and bleed
ing from the thorns of the jungle,
bringing a bundle of leaves of the
ori-bori plant, whose secret had been
confided to him by the Grand Llama
of Thibet.
He bound the leaves on the
wounded ankle of Sir Richard, ladies

says business man of Brooklyn, N.

er as it was possible to be, indeed, my
craving for coffee was equal to that
of drunkard for his regular nip

my system was indeed deplorable

my features were pinched and my
nevers were shattered to such an ex-
tent as to render me very irritable.

1T was while in this condition 1 read
an article about Postum Food Coffee
and concluded to try it. 1t was not
long before Postum had entirely de-
stroyed my raging passion for coffee
and in short time 1 had entirely
given up coffee for delicious Postum.

All my troubles have disappeared. l

The OId-Time Ball Club.

I like to see a game of ball; think it's
loads of fun
To see the players at the bat and watch
'em strike and run
And slide and yell and all of that, and
yet, it seems to me
The game amt half full of life as
, what it used to be-
wish YOU could have seen the club In
. which 1 used to play;
OF course, it wasn't like the clubs you
run across to-day,
For that-now let me think-was nearly
forty years ago,
And ball clubs then weren't like the ones
they have to-day, you know
Our club comprised the leaders of our
little country town;
We knocked out ev'ry club there was for
twenty miles aroun',
We had no fancy uniforms, but, MIND
you we could play:
We made ten times many runs as
what they make to-day
Cv Jones the blacksmith, pitched for US,
and in them days, you know,
You had to please the batter-he could
have it high or low.
And Deacon Perry used to catch, except
camp meetin' time,
when he was OFF exhortin'. and we used
his big son Lyme
Old SQUIRE Smith played at first, and
when his glasses stayed In place
So he could the ball he always fortl-
fed that base.

TIE Man That Laughs

I love the ringing music Of a CHEEKY,
hearty laugh,
For it routs the imps of worry as the
breezes scatter chaff,
And there's not a scene of gladness
known to mortals here below
But is made little gladder by merry
no! no! no!
For Merriment's a singer, and laugh
ter is his song,
And where the singer singeth the
happy angels throng,
For in all celestial anthems nothing
sweeter is, 1 trow,
Than the melody that lures US in a no!
no! hoi no! hoi
You are feeling rather weary-'tis an
oft-recorded tale
And you fancy troubles demons all
are camping on your trail,
Till you meet the man of laughter with
his cherry hoi hoI hoi
And, some way, as you listen, all the
haunting demons go;
Then you vow that this old planet is a
place of joy and cheer,
And there's pleasure in rejecting that
you now are living here
And you wouldn't for a fortune lose
your grip on things below
ALI because you hear the music of q
ringing no! no! no!

women more unselfish and furnishes

titles home and gives the doctor an
excuse to look wise. A well-ordered
well-born baby with red face and
a bald head is delight, particularly
when he belongs to a friend, and

Every baby is the prettiest baby in

are bosses and boodlers. They con-

The Teacher Won.

Hinton, KY. Nov. 2.-For over two
years two of the best physicians in
this part Of the State have been treat
ing Mr.. E. j. Thompson, a popular
local school teacher, for Diabetes.
They told him that but little could be
done to help him He made up his
mind to try a new remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and says:
They saved me when the doctors
held out no hope. I took in all about
ten boxes 1 will always praise Dodd's
Kidney Pills for the great good they
have done for me-"
Many people. and some physicians,
still persist in the belief that Diabetes
is an incurable disease. Our teacher,
Mr.. Thompson, says it is durable, for
Dodd's Kidney Pills cured him after
two good physicians had treated him
tor two years without success.
A remedy that will cure Diabetes
will surely cure any case of Kidney
Trouble.

The one is clad in robes of white, the

The voice of one is laughter; the 9TH

Tobacco is both cultivated and con-

plant was introduced by the Portu-

the trade in it is a government mon

used in a small pipe. While cigarettes
are manufactured in large quantities,
they are nearly all exported.
