school. so they took me out again.
But I did not get any better and my
headaches got worse and weakened
me so that | was unfit for any duty.
Sometimes l would go whole day
without any other nourishment than
a cup Of coffee.
last spring had bad attack OF
the Grippe and when recovered
found that coffee nauseated me -
l could not drink 1t and even few
swallows would cause terrible burn
ing IN my stomach. It was at this
time that friend who had been much
benefited by the use of Postum sug-
gested that | try this food drink. I
found II simply delicious and have
used 1t ever since and the results
speak for themselves, / have gained
IL pounds and my nerves are as
steady as any ones.
Il consider myself well and strong
and | make 1t a point now to take a
cup OF Postum with cracker or two
as soon as come home from school
In the afternoon. Postum with crack
ers or a biscuit makes my luncheon.

For a Bad Back.

Sabra, Montana. Oct 19th-A great
many men in this neighborhood used
to complain OF pains in the back, but
now scarcely one can be found who
has any such trouble.
Mr.. Gottlieb Mi Is largely respon.
sible for the Improvement for it was
he, who first of all found the remedy
for this Backache. He has recon.
mended it to all his friends and neigh.
bors, and in every case it has had
wonderful success.
Mr.. Mill says:--
For many years lad been trou-
bled with my Kidneys and pains in
the small of my back I tried many
medicines but did not derive any bene-
tt until last fall, when l bought q
dozen boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
After using them few days | began
to improve. my back quit aching and
felt better and stronger all around
Il will keep them in the house right
along for in my opinion they are the
best medicine in the market to-day,
and IL my back should bother mo
again, will use noth'-e ~'-a."

THE OIL OF LIFE.

For causes subjective. objective and
both. one may be lacking in the har-
mony of nature.
When person discovers he has a
negative manner that binders his
social Lie how is he to revise HIMSELF
The magnetic or positive nature
bolls over with attractive agreeable
ness without being conscious of any
thing but Joy or enthusiasm.
The physical intellect is uncon-
sciously popular while the mental in.
tellect is an entertainer at distance
People collect around the person
who is overlooking with goodwill and
natural happiness.
The oil of life is an abundance of life
itself. As reserve forces diminish
there is dryness OF manner which
produces negativeness.
II is piling up Of reserve force that
produces positiveness and popularity.
A lack Of inherited energy binders, but
q knowledge of self and the applica.
ton of useful truths compensate.
BY continued study or the things
that depress and the things that exalt,
one is able to see the way to positive.

History Of a Boys Cane.

"Mr. James, You know that cane
you let father have--well, it is little
short for him now, and you said you
wanted 1t back when he was through
with lido you wish to take 1t with
you now?"
am "Mr. James," and Mrs. Hart.
who asked me this question, lived with
her father. The old gentleman had
just enjoyed his ninety-eighth birth.
day. and had called to enjoy few
minutes chat with him.
This man had an atmosphere OF
hearty good cheer, and ! have often
gone out Of my way to visit little
while with him. 1t was real pleas
ure to me to let him take the heavy
cane had used when boy, because
enjoyed pleasing the old gentleman,
and because I had longed to have that
cane give some elderly man enjoyment.
II was wholesome looking article.
My father made it for me during the
Philadelphia centennial. while was
walking with crutches in a little town
hundreds of miles away from the
great show OF the nations.
I had great variety of walking
sticks and made them to give away
to sell. One succeeds in making sue
cess of work he thoroughly under
stands. was not thorough in the
cane business because while | knew
how to make them lacked CONNER
cial information necessary to
produce sales. Had known
boy in the city, some boy
with business sense, could have sent
him canes, he could have sold them
and we might have grown an industry
that would support both of us.
The real reason for this record Is
one of regret One day while I was
using the cane I came home from
school and found my grandfather had
come for visit. He.w the only one
OF my grandparents living and we
thought more Of each other than
then realized. During the last nearly
score of years have seen myself
many times as stood in the kitchen
door and refused to give or sell him
that cane.
He admired II very much. II was
better proportioned for him than for
me. and have wished more times
than | am years old that had given
1t to him. He leased me to sell 1t to
him and refused several times. in.
sisting on keeping 1t.
II is a mystery to me why such dis.
cords are possible in this world. 1
never enjoyed that cane particle
after grandfather left He gave me a
dollar and said goodbye and l never
thought for moment of giving him
the cane.
A few months later my father and
attended his funeral and since then +
have had love for elderly men. 1t
may be that my selfshness over the
cane has been blessing to others by
the reaction of my emotions. I am
forced, by my lack of wisdom in the
past, to study the comfort and pleas.
ure of elderly men. It may be that
my grandfather never cared as much
for that cane as thought he did. and
that Providence permitted me to be
painfully selfish for moment In order
that I might be more thoughtful ever
after.
Some time ago man wrote that he
now wished he had spent less time in
his den" under the stairs trying to be
a modern Shakespeare and more time
getting acquainted with his father and
mother, sisters and brothers.
Since have learned more about the
hearts Of others ! am able to recog-
nize the lost opportunities.

STORIElsrES.

Some time before the civil war, and
while he resided in southern Illinois,
John A. Logan once found 1t necessary
to doubt the veracity of a man con
siderably older than himself, and told
. him so. Don't you call me a liar,
sir" said the man, excitedly; Il have
a reputation to maintain, and ! mean
to maintain II II | have to do so at
the point of pistol" oh" Logan
is said to have calmly retorted, that
won't be necessary. You maintain
your reputation every time you tell
a lie."
Andrew Carnegie is only few
inches above five feet in height. Hen
ry w. Phipps, his old partner, is not
an inch taller, and John Walker. the
other member of the trio who revolu-
tionized the manufacture of STEEL. has
perhaps a little the better OF both
Carnegie and Phipps. AS for Henry
c. Frick, his head would just about
reach to the shoulder of man of
ordinary height. II Is said that one
day, when these four steel masters
were walking together one the streets
of Pittsburg, bootblack called out
to his business rival further down the
block, as the millionaires passed:
"Eh, Jimmy, git onto der runts!"
Some curious anecdotes are re-
lated of Hermann Zumpe, the Wag-
merriam conductor at Eunich who died
suddenly few weeks ago He was
well known to be a spiritualist, and
believed that the ghosts of dead COM
posers inspired his conducting OF
their works. One day Zumpe told an
other conductor of note how Beetho-
ven's spirit was present during the
performance of one of the sympho-
MES, and so pleased was the ghost
that, after the end of the first move
ment, he exclaimed, "At last" "Ah,
my dear fellow" exclaimed the other
conductor. surely Beethoven made a
mistake. He thought it was the end of
the last movement"
Henry Labouchere, as young dip
lomatist. was fond of amusing and
bewildering his superiors. For in
stance, IL is said that once he was
instructed to come home to London
from Constantinople. He wasn't
heard from for some time, and was APP
parently lost In the midst OF the
Black Forest. or some Of the other
lands that interviewed between him
and home. He was at last traced; and
then calmly wrote that he was obey
ing orders, and was making his way
homeward; but that as his chief had
forgotten to send him any money to
pay the expense of the ordinary meth
DDS of travelling, he was working his
slow passage on foot.
When the late William Ernest Hen.
ley was editing London he had no
one on his staff of writer's whom he
valued so highly as Robert Louis
Stevenson, who prepared for him the
brilliant series of stories that are
now called THE New Arabian
Nights" 1t is related that one
night they sat down to play a game
of poker. The luck from the start
was with Henley. He won pot after
pot Stevenson was lucky IL in any
deal he got a pair of trays. Dis
gusted, at last, with the turn the
cards had taken. he threw up his
arms and apostrophized fortune in
this quaint way: Fortune, you tickle

me lose, but you can never make me
