DOCTORS COFFEE


And His Daughter Matched Him.
Coffee drinking troubled the family
Of q physician of Grafton, W. Va, who
describes the situation briefly:
"Having suffered quite while from
vertigo, palpitation Of the heart and
many other arrangements Of the nerv-
Gus system and finding no relief from
usual methods Of treatment, thought
to see hov much there was in the Pos
tum argument against coffee.
$50 resorted to Postum, cutting of
the coffee, and to my surprise and sat
isfaction have found entire relief from
all my sufferings, proving conclusively
the baneful effect Of coffee and the
way to be rid Of it.
81 have found Postum completely
takes the place Of coffee both in flavor
and in taste. 1t Is becoming more pop
ular every day with many Of our peo-
pie and is having great demand here.
"My daughter, Mrs. Long, has been
a sufferer for long time from attacks
Of acute Indigestion. By the dismissal
Of coffee and using Postum in it's place
she has obtained complete relief.
IT have also heard from many others
who have used your Postum very "a
yorable accounts Of its good effects.
'T prescribe Postum in place Of COT
fee in great many cases and believe
that upon its merits Postum will come
into general use." Name given by Pos

with the recent marriage Of Francis

known Louisiana family. Mr.. Burton,
1t is said, Fell in love with picture,

al gallery Of Dresden.
The picture represents a mother and
her daughter listening to the last, fond
message of their loved one as borne
to them by his comrade. The devoted
mother, Frustrated with grief. is sink
ing into chair, covering her face
with handkerchief. The comrade Of
her dead boy stands, hat in hand and
with bowed head, having apparently
just broken the sad news.
The young girl, resting her hand on
her mothers chair, gazes wide-eyed
and immobile straight at the young
man. She is an old-world girl, quaint
"a Botdcelli Madonna type, with great
sorrowful lips, eyes darkly luminous,
features classic In outline, her hair
hanging In braids over her shoulders.
Her attitude at once suggests grief for
the dead brother and effectiveness to
his friend. Her beauty Is still and IN
assuming. She would appeal to none
but one Of thoughtful temperament,
careless Of the modern, unmoved by
dash and brilliancy, seeking happiness
in understanding and tranquility.
The young man lost his heart COM
pletely to the maiden in the fine old
painting and, being endowed with pa
tience, resolved never to marry until he
could encounter at least an approxima-
ton of her In the actual, everyday
world. He waited in vain for several
years, but last summer he met the Hv-
ing presentment in Miss Edith Dupre,
of Louisiana. They were married and
their honeymoon was as romantic as
their courtship, for they went to Dres-
den to see "The Sons Last Greeting"

True to Her Task.

It would be disrespectful to say that
there is anything obstinate about a
sitting hen, but one must acknowledge
at least that she Is firm.
There Is story Of good old coun-
try doctor who found that q hen was
sitting in the back Of wagon, long
unused. His everyday wagon had given
out, and he needed the old one to make
round Of calls; so he harnessed up
and started, the hen and all. Thus he
continued to do day after day, and
the sitter was faithful to her post. Only
the eggs suffered inconvenience, for
the Earring finally added them.
The Springfield Republican tells the
story Of another hen which was en-
gagged one night in brooding over some
eggs In a barrel In the livery stable
where she made her home.
The stable caught fire. With the
courage Of the boy on the burning deck
she refused to leave her post.
The top Of the barrel took fire. It
burned half way down, and still the
hen did not move.
The stable was almost totally de-
stroyed, but the f1remen had the flames
30 far under control that stream
Of water, turned upon the hens apart
ment extinguished the blaze.
The smoke did not seem to disturb
the hen, nor did the flood Of water
pouring down the inside Of tie barrel.
When daylight came sb9 was still in
her half burned tenement, and in due
time she brought off her brood Of eight
chickens.

DOMESTIC STRATEGY.
Mrs. Aiken Knew Her Husband Had
Mailed Her Letters.


Mrs. Aiken's husband was one Of the
ten or fifteen million men who forget
to mail letters, concerning whom the
annals Of humor contain thousands of
jokes. He was not bad case, for he
did not always forget, and when he
did, he remembered again within two
days. Mrs. Aiken was not bad case,
either, for she did not scold her hus-
band.
When she had an especially import
ant letter to mail, she either went out
to the corner herself and slipped it
into the box, or lay in wait for the
postman on his early morning round.
One day she was not feeling well, and
several invitations to dinner for the
following week were due to be mailed
at once So she entrusted them to Mr..
Aiken, who made the usual promises
She followed him to the dining room
door, saying impressively, "'Lettersl
Letters! Now don't forgetl Letters!
Look me in the eyes and say it after
me-,
"If you hypnotic me l shall forget
everything. All right. Letters! Let
ters L-e-t-t-e-r-s!'' He kissed her,
showed the handful Of envelopes inna
his pocket and went out.
He did keep the letters on his mind
all the way downtown in the car. AL
though two men stopped him before
he got to his desk, yet he kept his hand
on the bullying pocket He unlocked
his desk with the other hand, and be.
fore he allowed himself to look at his
mornings mail he put his wife's letters
into the mail basket and called the
office boy.
'There," he said to himself, 'those
will go to the post an hour before the
office mail. I guess / can remember a
few things once in while"
His sense Of virtue abode with him
all the morning and all the afternoon.
On his way home at night he thought
Of few facetious remarks to make to
a woman who had so little confidence
in her husbands memory that she must
go through burlesque dramatic per.
Torrance after breakfast to impress q
small matter on his mind.
AS he opened the front door he saw
her coming down the stairs.
swell, my dear, / suppose you are
going to ask me whether I mailed your
letters?''
ooh, no, dear. l know you mailed
them"
'Now, there is confidencew said Mr..
Aiken, with genial irony.
"Not confidence at all, darling, but
knowledge. If you had looked you
would have seen that among the let.
ters was a postal card addressed to
myself. It came on the last delivery

TRY TO SUPPRESS MALARIA.
Austrian Government Is Endeavor.

Austrian Government Is EndeavOr.
ing to Stamp Out the Disorder.
AS is well known, the greatest
scourge Of Austria is malarial fevers.
They carry off thousands of human
beings annually and thus far no effec-
tive preventives have been discovered.
United States Consul Hossfeld, at
Trieste, has made report to the State
department in regard to the steps be-
ing taken in that country for the sup.
preston of the malady. According to
his report, a Vienna manufacturer,
Leopold Kupelwieser, prompted by the
result of Professor Koch's investiga.
tons relating to intermittent fever,
has placed at DR.. Koch's disposal the
island Of Brioni Situated west of the
peninsula Of IStria and about sixty
miles south Of Trieste) to enable him to
continue there his Investigations The
experiments which DR.. Koch had made
in Africa convinced him that malaria
could be stamped out in many places
where 1t now prevails, and that where
it was possible to isolate such a place
the task would be comparatively easy.
1t is now well known that the microbe
Of malaria is conveyed from one per.
son to another by the sting of a species
Of mosquito.
AS these insects cannot fly very far,
an accession Of infected MOSQUITOES
from the mainland seemed to be out OF
the question, and it was hoped that BY
curing the sick during the cold season
and then waging energetic warfare
against the conveyer Of the microbe
the disease could be permanently ban
ished from tho island. DR.. Koch there
fore accepted the offer made to him
by Mr.. Kupelwieser, and intrusted
Professor Frosch and DR.. Blundau. OF
Berlin, with this mission. Their re-
markable success led the Austrian GOV.
eminent to make an attempt to exter.
inmate malaria on the coast of Istria
by Professor Kochs method. It caus.
ed three malaria stations to be estab.
lished and detailed physicians, furnish.
ed with the finest microscopical instru
ments, to these stations. The physi.
clans examine the blood Of all person,

to establish similar stations in all those

Of removing this great evil.

Fraudulent Naturalization.

The naive statement was recently
made in an article published by one
of the reviews, purpOrting to be
the verbatim report of the reasons
advanced by one Of the strikers for
the present movement against meat
packers, that threw a food of light
on the question Of fraudulent natur-
alization.
The man interviewed, evidently an
honest fellow of more than average
intelligence, was a Lithuanian who
came to this country at the age of
eighteen, started as unshlled laborer
in a Chicago packing establishment,
and quickly found that the promotion
Of his interests demanded that he join
union ard become an American
citizen.
The latter ceremony was accom-
plished, according to his own frank
statement-a statement that showed
the fellow himself was absolutely I'M
conscious of any evildoing-by his
going to the saloon of the local
political leader and enrolling himself
as a voter. The saloonkeeper did the
rest, thus easily making this man,
and no one knows how many Of his
fellows, voters, though they have no
more legal right to the franchise than
their brothers in the faraway Rus
sian province.
Instances Of that kind indicate the
truth Of the declaration by George
w. Morgan, New York State superin-
tendent Of elections, that more than
100000 fraudulent naturalization
papers have been sold by those en-
gagged in the business. The fact that
80 900 Of these fraudulent papers have
been issued in New York city shows
how vitality the coming election of a
President of the United States is like
Iy 20 be affected by voters who are
legally not entitled to the privilege.
According to Mr.. Morgan, in New
York the Italians are found TO be by
far the greatest offenders. Greeks

probable that every one of these
votes Is purchasable. The declara-
ton is publicly made by those in q
position to know that the difference

Amid the news of repeated Russian
disasters in the Far East comes
the glad tidings to the loyal Russian
of the birth of son to the Gar and
Czarina. The child has been named
Alexis, and in him is CenteTed the
hope of the nation to an extent that
makes the contrast between his in
fantile heIplessness and the anxiety
of the great empire intensely pa
thetic
Alexis is the fifth child of NichO-
las II. and at the birth of each the
nation has experienced the same wave
of anxiety, increasing with each dis
appointment as for four successive
times the announcement was that a
girl, not the much desired male heir,
had come into the world.
The birth of Alexis will unques-
tionably have a far-reaching effect
upon the present interior disturbances
in Russia. 1t will give a stability to
the Cars reign which it has lacked
while the question of the succession
was still pending, and it will also
place the Czarina, who never has sue
eeeded in winning the full regard OF
her husbands subjects, in the posi-
ton in the hearts of the people, to
which her fine character richly en-
titles her

a lukewarm Tammany is approx

rather go to a Tammany candidate for
two dollars than to anyone else for

seen that these $4,000 wavering votes,
together with the 10000 Illegal votes
frankly controlled by the highest bid
der, come pretty near determining the
result of a New York municipal cleo
ton.

ment with the assurance that as the
result of the activity of the depart

shows a large decrease, particularly
in New York city; also that the
courts have become particularly rigid
