BUNCH TOGETHER
Coffee Has a Curious Way of Finally
Attacking Some Organ.


Attacking Some Organ.
Ais that come from coffee are
cumulative, that is, unless the coffee
is taken away new troubles are con-
tinually appearing and the old ones
get worse.
ITO begin with" says Kansan, Il
was a slave to coffee just as thou
sands Of others to-day; thought l
could not live without drinking strong
coffee every morning for breakfast
and had sick headaches that kept
me in bed several days every month.
Could hardly keep my food on my
stomach but would vomit as long as
l could throw anything up and when
l could get hot coffee to stay on my
stomach l thought l was better.
well, two years ago this spring l
was that sick with rheumatism l
could not use my right arm to do any
thing, had heart trouble, was nerv-
Gus. My nerves were all unstrung
and my finger nails and tips were
blue as if l had chill all the time
and my face and hands yellow as a
pumpkin. My doctor said it was heart
disease and rheumatism and my
ne:ghbors said I had Bright's disease
and was going to die.
well, did not know what on
earth was the matter and every morn
ing would drag myself out Of bed and
go to breakfast, not to eat anything
but to force down some more coffee.
Then in a little while I would be so
nervous, my heart would beat like
everything.
Finally one morning told my hus-
band I believed coffee was the cause
of this trouble and that l thought l
would try Postum which had seen
advertised. He said All right so we
got Postum and although | did not
like it at first l got right down to
business and made it according to
directions, then it was fine and the
whole family got to using it and l
tell you it has worked wonders for
me. Thanks to Postum in place OF the
poison, coffee, l now enjoy good
health, have not been in bed with sick
headache for two years although had
it for 80 years before l began Postum
and my nerves are now strong and l
have no trouble from my heart or
from the rheumatism.
"I consider Postum a necessary ar
ticle of food on my table. My friends
who come here and taste my Postum
say 1t is delicious" Name given by

Breaking 1t to Him Gently.

He is only five feet five and his
more fortunate friends have a way OF
referring to him as Little" Temp
kins, but Nature has made up to him
in wit what he lacks in stature.
AS he descended some steps to the
sidewalk one day, his hand out
stretched to greet tall acquaintance
his foot slipped and in flash his
foot was where moment before his
hand had been. OF course, mis- friend
laughed, as friends will at such mis-
fortunes. But Little" Tompkins rose
to the occasion. That's the new sa-
lutte, you know!" he remarked with
composure.
"By Jove! You don't lose your
head, anyway" said the big one pat
.ronizingly. Nov, if 1 should lose my
footing"
GAIL, all would be lost" finished
Tompkins blandly.

Through the Vine-embowered window IN

ly after the funeral will was pro-
duced which left his entire estate to
a couple Of men to whom he was not
related, cutting off his wife without
a cent. Under the law the widow
could not be left penniless in this
manner, so the will was set aside.
After the document was declared null
the two men reduced notes signed by
the deceas for the full amount
of the estate. No one knew that the
planter owed a cent, and the circum-
stances being as they were, the claim
ants having kept silent about the
notes until after the decision was
rendered against them, caused the
whole affair to look suspicious, and
the matter again went to the courts.
A committee of experts pronounced
the papers to be forgeries.
Still the matter did not rest. A
lawyer who was related to the gov
ernor of the province was retained
by the parties claiming the widows
money, and another committee was
appointed to take up the case. It's
members listened to all the testimony
of the note holders, but did not give
the attorneys for the natural heir a
chance to introduce evidence. The
second decision was in favor of the
pretenders, and higher court, with
out going into the case at all, ap-
proved the finding, so that the widow

tended to by those close to the high
authorities.
Ano. II incident may be cited as
a sample of the high-handed manner
in which the Tins" of the government
run things. The greater portion OF
the public fund is spent through the
Department of Interior. Before the
last Congress adjourned the budget
for the forthcoming year was being
| discussed, when a member OF the
"outs" contingent got up and said
that before going into the discussion
he had few remarks to make, and
| requested the chairman to furnish
him a report for the last year.
A messenger was dispatched for
the document. He returned shortly
and said that the report was not out
The speaker said that as far as his
purposes were concerned, report OF
the preceding year would do just as
WELL The messenger was dispatched
second time, and again he returned
with the statement that there was nc
report. The speaker said the year
before would do, but there was none
for that period either. Having thus
skillfully exposed the fact that no &C
counting was being made by the men
who were handling the major portion
of the governments money the rep
resentative of the "outs" pitched into
the party in power and gave them a
good tongue flashing. The only result
of his exposure was his defeat at the
next election. He said the cards had
been stacked against him, and they
doubtless were, but he is now looking
around for another job.
These things occurred just as they
have been related. What can be ex
pected of country with systems like
this? What does the future hold fol
it? Nothing but decline and eventual
collapse.

1t Walked In.

Early in the morning L. H. Haney.
landlord of the City hotel at Barns
boro, Cambria county, was aroused
from his slumbers by a crash in his
room. Opening his eyes, he was
startled to see big bear. The noise
had aroused Mrs. Haney, and she
screamed for help. Her husband
sprang out of bed and seized chair
TO protect himself and wife.
Bruin came toward them, and Han
ey swung the chair. Mrs. Haney was
still screaming and the guests of the
hotel were coming from their rooms.
About this time the bear concluded
that things were getting too interest
ing and he decided to leave. AS he
emerged from the landlords room in
to the hall there was rush to get out
of the way. Arms were quickly OBJ
tanned, and the bear driven off.

Drove Away Hungry Lynx.

AS Roland Scribner of Stafford, W.,
was out fishing the other day in
stream within sight of the house, he
happened to glance behind him and
saw a lynx coming toward him from
the woods, growing and snarling, his
mouth open. The boy waited until
the animal got within few feet OF
him, and as it crouched to spring.
dealt it several blows with his fish
ing rod, whereupon the lynx turned
and ran back into the woods.

Black Snakes Guard Southern Homes.
It is true that the rattle snake and
the black snake are mortal enemies.
and the black snake is the victor in
their battles, breaking the neck of his
adversary before the RATHER has time
to strike. The black snakes of this
country are as harmless as frogs. On
many of the large plantations in the
south they are tanned and kept as a
protection from their enemy, as the
warm climate prevents keeping the
houses closed so as to keep them out.

The necessity of a suitable hall
and opera house is becoming daily
more apparent. Dancing, in the
halls we now have is becoming
somewhat of hardship by rea-
son of the large attendance and
small room. An opera house,
with suitable stage, scenery and
seating capacity is also a neces-
sity. Theatre troupes give us a
wide berth by reason OF there
being no suitable place to exhibit.
A movement is now on foot to
remedy the deficiency by the cree
ton of building suitable for all
purposes. The Relief Association
of the fire department is looking
the matter up. With this organl-
cation in control, the hall would
remain city affair rs the assocla-
ton is indirectly ward of the
city and contingent upon the main
tanning of a fire department by
the city, At present not much
can be said regarding the project
but is to be hoped that the near
future will see something tangible
result.

work In this cause was largely among
the Finnish people, in whom he took
Il speciaI interest. SO great was the
interest maintained, and so great
was the influence eXerted, that the
cause of temperance has spread among
this class OF citizens, until it now
reaches the Michigan as well as the
Minnesota ranges. Among the Fin

Pengilly will also be greatly regretted.
