SHE CAME RIGHT BACK.
Kentucky Woman Was as Good as
Her English Tormentor
in a Pinch.

Il was at O dinner In London last
spring." said the Chicago lawyer, ac-
cording to the Louisville Post, land
almost directly opposite me sat a coun-
try woman Of mine from Kentucky.
Zone stout, red-faced English woman
in the party persisted in batting the
Kentuckian till I looked to see her lose
her temper long before she did. The
English woman talked about America
and the Americans as il the Kentucky
woman had invented the country and
was responsible for everything.
Nothing American escaped her cen
sure; and at length she began on the
race question in a way that isn't heard
at American dinner parties. She went
on and on, and the Kentucklan began to
look dangerous. At last the English
woman said:
but you can't deny that you &C.
tually burn niggers in the states"
The Kentuckian smiled deliberately.
40, the reports of that are greatly
exaggerated she said. The practice
isn't general. We only do 1t in parts OF
the country where coal is too expensive
to use"
"And the English woman didn't speak
another word for nearly five minutes"

FASHIONABLE c
Fresh Bits Of Finery That Find Fa-
vor with the Devotees
of Dress.

Printed cotton In Scotch tweed ef-
feet Is one of the new fancies for the
two-piece costume.
Real torchon Is the most durable OF
all the lingerie laces, and holds its
own in spite of changing fashions.
A black suede slipper for morning
wear has a big bow of black and white
striped ribbon.
The present-day corset cover Is most
carefully fitted, so there will be no UNI
necessary fullness around the waist.
The blouse coats, belted in, are very
comfortable and useful, but they are ap-
propriate only for morning or for trav-
cling.
Great quantities of embroidery appear
| IN summer dresses, and as the tendency
to raising it is marked, the trimming is
of snowy character in many cases.
It Is a comfortable prediction that
dark muslins will be fashionable for
promenade wear this summer, and
the newest models have no trimming
on the skirt except two or three
founCes.

NEWS"

All through the night, all through the day
The presses fling the sheets;
The world wags in the selfsame way,
Repeats, and then repeats.
The armies come, the armies go;
Wal steps aside for Peace;
| Each Gay has JOY, each day has woe
The presses never cease.
For this man loved and this man lied,
And this man did and this man died;
This man has built, this man won fame;
This man destroys, this man has shame
The news-the news-each day the same,
With a change in the name.
One rides full speed across the plains
To send the word afar
OF battles that have ended reigns
OF good or evil star;
| One hurries from the castle walls
To tell of lifted crown;
One hastens from the p%lotters' halls
With plans to hurl it down,
This woman loved, this woman lied;
That woman laughed, that woman died;
This one has praise, this one has blame
The shifting counters in a game;
The news-the neWs-each day the same,
With a change in the name.
All through the day, all through the night
The swaying wires still hum
With tales of darkness and of light;
The changeless stories come;
The world whirls on. and on, and on,
Repeats. and then repeats,
And while the night swings into dawn
The presses fling the sheets.
The same distress, the same high pride;
This tale was true, this one denied;
One finds his fate and knows his shame;
Thus did the maiden, man, or. dame
The news-the ~news-each day the same.

HAS TRIED BOTH.
Travel for Health VS.. Dieting.

A mar who was sent to Europe for
his health and finally found cur in a
little change in his diet says:
Il was troubled with dyspepsia for
five years and two doctors here in Ke-
nosha that treated me for over a year
both told me there was no help for
me. Then | had an expert from Chi
cago, but still received no relief; then
followed another expert from Chicago
who came to our house two times q
month for four months. He gave me
up like all the others and told me to
take a trip across the ocean, which
did in the year 1899 and came home
about as bad as when | started. The
doctors told me my stomach lining was
full of sores. Then | began to study
my own case and learned of the diet
recommended by the Postum Cereal
Co., SO | gave up cofIee, pork and all
greasy foods and began using Postum
Food Coffee. Gradually | got better and
better until l am well now as | ever
was in my younger days, have no trou-
Bile and eat anything fit to eat.
Sometimes away from home I am
persuaded to drink coffee, but l only
take a sip IT it, for it tastes bitter and
dlsagreeeble to me, but the longer | use
Postum the better I like 1t and the
better | feel. l could say a great deal
more of my experience with Postum.
but think this will give everyone a
good idea of what leaving off coffee
and using Postum can do" Name
