POSTUM CEREAL.
COFFEE WAS 1T.

People Slowly Learn the Facts.
'All my life / have been such slave
TO coffee that the very aroma Of il was
enough to set my nerves quivering. l
kept gradually losing my health, but /
used to say, Nonsense, it don't hurt me-
Slowly I was forced 10 admit the truth
and the final result was that my whole
nervous force was shattered
My heart became weak and un-
certain in its action, and that frightened
me. Finally my physician told me,
about year ago, that / must stop
drinking coffee or could never expect
10 be well again.
4 was in despair, for the very thought
of the medicines I had tried so many
times nauseated me. OF course /
thought Of Postum, but could hardly
ring myself 10 give up the coffee.
Finally ] concluded that I owed it to
myself to give Postum a trial So I
got a package and carefully followed
the directions, and what a delicious
nourishing, rich drink it vast Do YOU
know I found it very easy to shift
from the coffee TO Postum and not mind
the change at all. Almost Immediately
after / made the change 1 found my
self better. and as the days went by
kept on improving. My nerves grew
sound and steady, / slept well and felt
strong and well balanced all the time
Now I am completely cured, with the
old nervousness and sickness all gone
In every way I am well once more"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich
Tt pays to give up the drink that acts
on some like a poison, for health is the
greatest fortune one can have.

While a fast freight train was
conf ing on one end of Missouri
Pacific trestle near Rich Hill, Miss
Grace Copeland, aged Is, who was
running from the train in an eff
fort to get off the trestle before the
train reached her, fell in a faint
from fright. She became fastened
between the ties and a party Of
young companions with whom she
had been gathering blackberries,
a nd who had rushed off the trestle,
looked on in breathless horror as
they saw the train rushing on and
death approaching nearer to the
young woman every minute. One
of the Young men in the party,
seeing the fate Miss Copeland was
left to, went to her and tried to
drag her from the trestle. His eff
70 rts were in vain and he was
forced to save his own life by
leaping into the river below. While
all her companions were awaiting
the crush that seemed sure to kill
Miss Copeland, she miraculously
slipped between the ties, still mn.
nscious, just as the train was
within a foot Of her. She fell into
tie water below and was rescued.

ARE THE CHILDREN At HOMER
[Pnhllehed by reonesL.l

" uniiHhSu Wy iNAueab'I
Each day when the glow OF sunset
Fades IN the western sky,
And the wee ones, tired Of playing,
Go tripping lightly by,
| steal away from my husband,
Asleep in his easy chair
And watch from the open doorway
Their faces fresh and fair
Alone In the dear old homestead
That once was full Of life,
Ringing with girlish laughter.
Echoing boyish strife,
We two are waiting together;
And oft, as the shadows come,
With tremulOus voice he calls me,
1T is night; are the children homer"
Eyes, love-" | answer him gently,
They're all home long ago"
And sing In my quiycring treble,
A song so soft and low,
Till the old man drops to slumber.
Win his head upon his hand,
And tell to myself the number
At home in a better land.
Sometimes IN the dusk Of evening
/ only shut my eyes,
Aud the children are all about me,
A vision from the skies;
Tho babies whose dimpled fingers
Lost the way TO my breast,
And the beautiful ones, the angels,
Passed to the world Of the blcst.
A breath, and the vision is lifted
Away on the wings Of light,
Aud again we two are together,
All alone in the night.
They tell me his mind is failing,
But | smile at idle fears;
He is only back with the children,
In the dear, peaceful years.
And still as the summer sunset
Fades away in the west
And the wee ones, tired OF playing,
Go troOpng home to rest,
My husband calls from his corner
Say, love! have the children come?
And answer with my eyes uplifted,
Yes, dear! they are all at homcn'

ton.
Among other things, he writes
that the act Of the mob at States
boro is TO be deplored, but more
deplorable still is the fact that a
whole family of white people were
butchered-stamped out by two
fiends aud their accomplices; "that
'mobs are bad, but they are evi.
dences of spirit of liberty" that
THE Southern people are con
fronted by a condition such as has
never existed in the history of the
world" that from necessity we
used force and fraud to overcome
the negro majority" that race
antagonism and race hatred grow
apace, and that, inspired by the
actions and utterances of President
Roosevelt, the negroes have given
evidence only too plentiful of a
hope and belief that their time
will .come again"
"The criminal classes among the
negroes increase at a fearful
rate" the letter continues, and
unless the Northern people can
be made to understand that negro
equality is something that will not
be tolerated and that no power in
the world can force upon us, a
race war is inevitable, such as is
threatened by the Republican par
ty only aggravates the already
strained relations between the
races"
The letter concludes:
The Northern people can help
us if they will by sympathy and
cooperation but they have got to
unlearn many OF the things that
have come to them in the last 40
years, and, most of all, they must
learn that the negroes will be put
down and held down by a bloody
hand regardless of consequences.
With the Republican party
standing for equality and demand
ing punishment of Southern whites
because they do not submit to ne
gro domination, the antagonism OF
the race will grow, and such deeds
as that at StatesbOrO will be more
frequent. We are between the
devil and the deep sea, but we will
pr otect our women, and we will
stand by the principles and form
of government of our forefath
ers."
