All Have Their MaSCOtS

Among men and women who have
won name and fame in professional
life quite number are to be found
who believe in the supernatural pow
er of some curious talisman which
they possess. Sarasate, the famous
Spanish violinist, for instance, would
not dream of playing at concert un-
less he carried somewhere about his
person tiny replica in silver of the
famous Guarnerius violin on which
Paganini used to play.
Paderewski, the famous pianist,
ai5o possesses a mascot which is
always with him in the shape of a
ring once worn by his first wife. Most
people are doubtless aware of the sad
story of Paderewski's first marriage,
how his wife died in giving birth to
son just as the pianist was on the
threshold of success, and how the
world would probably never have
heard of him had not the necessity Of
providing for his son compelled the
musician to continue his professional
career. Paderewslzf does not wear
the ring on his finger. 1t rests in a
tiny pocket inside his wafstcoat and
is attached to fine gold chain which
encircles the pianist's neck.

Mocha Coffee Is Scarce

Il don't believe there is a pound of
genuine Mocha coffee on this CONT

chant, informs me, cor that 200 people
in this country have ever tasted it,
unless they have at some time visited
Arabia and drunk it at the table of
some sheik or governor.
The true Mocha is the finest coffee
grown; it has a delicious flavor that
makes it as superior to the very best
OF other brands as silk is superior to
cotton, but the crop is extremely
limited, and hardly ever more than
satisfies purely local demands Some
Arabian coffee may find its way to
this country; it may even be called
Mocha, but it is not the real article,
am sure, and none Of us has ever
had it here, though we do get the
best of other brands that are grown
in Ceylon and Java, and that means
some mighty fine coffee. 1t is not

Get Wise Sayings Mixed

Just as the popular so-called quota
tions from the Bible and Shakespeare
are commonly misquoted, so it will
be found the wise sayings of states
men have not always been preserved
in their original integrity.
For example. there is Washington's
apothegm that ITO be prepared for

means of preserving peace" This
has been condensed into the familiar

Then Jefferson's axiom, Vacancies
by death are few, by resignation
none," is almost invariably applied to
the office-holding contingent in the
shape of the assertion Few die, and
none resign"
Two Western newspapers have as
their motto Error ceases to be dan
gerous when truth is left free to com
bat it." This is mutilation of Presi-
dent Jefferson's celebrated saying in
his inaugural address that Error of
opinion may be tolerated where rea-
son is left free to combat it." The

and sheiks in the vicinity and they
have to get their orders in in adj.
vance, so that they may be sure of
their annual supply. The second
grade berries go to the Weather citi-
zens, not of the governing class. and
the third, or poorest, grade of ber-
ries, which are not much superior to
the best Java coffee, are sold to the
people, and the demand invariably
exceeds the supply tenfold.
Sometimes a few pounds of this
cheapest grade or Mocha finds it's

very seldom, and l don't believe an
ounce Of it has ever got any further

some hook or crook a pound of the
real, plump-berried Mocha were land

price that even a Rockefeller might
hesitate to pay. We get the best cof-

That Acid trouble.

Coiusa, CAL, April 18th.-Much has
been said and written recently about
Uric Acid In the system; what causes
1t and how to get rid of 1t. It is
known to be the first cause of Rheu-
matism and many other diseases and
has therefore received a great deal
of attention from medical men.
Mr.. l.. F. Moulton of this place
claims that he has solved the prob
lem of how to get this acid out of the
system. He says:
II had this acid trouble myself for
years. At times the Kidney secre-
tons would be very profuse and at
other times scant, but the acid was
always my greatest trouble. Medicine
failed to cure me till at last heard
of a remedy called Dodd's Kidney
Pills and after taking box 1 seemed
to be entirely cured. However, it
came back on me and this time took
several boxes, with the result that
was completely and permanently
cured. This was three years ago and

From the musical profession to the
race course is rather far cry, but it
may not be out of place to mention
here the curious luck-bringer carried
by Sam Loates, the famous jockey. 1t
consists of an ordinary smoked pearl
button, without which he never rides
a race. This pearl button saved the
life of Mr.. Loates when he was a
child by catching in the upholstery of
a railway carriage door which had
not been properly fastened, and thus
preventing him railing on to the line.
Since then the Jockey has come to
believe that the button has an influ-
ence for good over all his fortunes.
Quite a number of our leading

A man had book ready to be
printed and he had pinned the proof
sheets up to file away when his little

blindly.
Then she found comma left ont.

Her father would not have had the
wrong word printed for hundred and
eleven cents. but she was more than
satisfied with what she got.
Her grammar is more interesting
to her now in her school work than
before the wrong word event, and in
time she may become a good proof
reader.
