OPTIMISTIC OBSERVATIONS.

Trouble seldom visits those who do
not expect it.
Hope for the best-prepare for the
worst-and take what comes.
Failures should be used as stepping
stones to future success.
Happy is the woman who has as many
changes of gowns as shevha of mind
Woman was born to love and be loved
and she fights it out on that line.
Cynies and pessimists have hard
row to hoe in this contrary old world.
It's surprising how much a woman
can say about herself without telling
anything.
The wise worm doesn't crawl out until
after the early bird has eaten his break
fast
Dying in poverty Is easy enough; it's
living in poverty that comes hard on a
fellow
1t doesn't matter If beauty is only
skin deep so long as the skin is worn
on the outside.
1t is only in accord with the eternal
fitness of things that miss kiss and
bliss rhyme together.

COMES A TIME
When Coffee Shows What It Has
Been Doing.

"of late years coffee has disagreed
with me, writes matron from Rome.
N. Y, Its lightest punishment was to
make me logy' and dizzy. and 1t
seemed to thicken up my blood.
THE heaviest was when it upset my
stomach completely, destroying my ap-
petite and making me nervous and ir-
ritable, and sent me to my bed. After
one Of these attacks, In which | near
ly lost my life, concluded to quit
and try Postum Food Coffee.
''lt went right to the spot. | found
1t not only a most palatable and re-
freshing beverage, but food as we'll.
"All my ailments, the Ioginess' and

Of my blood, my nervousness and ir-
ritability disappeared In short order,
and my sorely afflicted stomach be-
gan quickly to recover. l began to

benumbed his faculties, the diver
reached UP his free arm and pulled his
signal cord with all his strength,
whereupon the men above started to
haul him up, The octopus made one
effort to seize hold Of the concrete, but
it was just to olate, and, still clinging
relentlessly to its prey, was drawn to
the surface.
The horror of the men above when
they beheld the diver emerge from the
water in the loathsome embrace OF the
great deyilfish can be better imagined
than described. While some dragged
the now all but unconscious Palmer up
the ladders others ran for hatchets and
knives, and fierce attack was made
upon the creature,
In spite of every onslaught, however,
the quivering tentacles still clung OBJ
stinately to the diver, as though loath
to relinquish him, and 1t was not until
the creature had been pretty we'll
hacked to pieces that, by exerting all
their strength the men were finally
able 10 tear their Comrade free and ad-
minister the restoratiyes of which he
stood so much in need.
When the dead octopus was laid out
on the pier it was at once seen to be Of
great size-the largest ever landed in
South Africa, in fact, measuring no less
than 11l& feet across from tentacle tip
to tenacie tip
Unfortunately, before a photograph
could be taken of 1t, certain Italians
with whom, apparently, cuttlefish is a
highly-prized delicacy-got at the car
cass and cut it up, SO that very in
teresting exhibit was lost to the local
museum
TWO Of the tentacles and the skin
OF the creature were saved. however,
and these, at the moment of writing.
are being preserved at the little office
on the south arm. The tentacles are now
much shrunken. of course. but still
measure close on five feet long. In
their natural state they would be, at the
thlckest part, about as thick as man

All things considered, Diver Palmer
may think himself very lucky man.
To be seized by such monster as
this at the bottom of the sea and yet

Is an experience such as falls to the lot

BITS OF FLAG LORE.

The simple stripping Of the red and
yellow in the flag OF Spain was suggested
by the arms of Aragan,
The strangest flag under which man
ever fought Is that of the Macedonian
insurgents. 1t is red on one side and
black on the other.
The crescent, moon and stars were
adopted by the Turks as their device on
the capture of Constantinople by Mo-
hammed II. in 1853.
The white cross on the red field Of the
Swiss flag has a religious meaning. 1t
was adopted as an appeal to heaven in
1888, when the stout Swiss fought and
won one of their greatest battles.
Peter the Great, II is said, borrowed
the idea Of the Russian flag from the
Dutch, among whom he learned ship
building, He simply turned the Dutch
tricolor, red, white and blue, upside
down.
In compliment TO William, prince Of
Orange, their great leader, the colors of
the house Of Orange were adopted by
the sturdy people Of the Netherlands,
at the end Of their long bout with Spain
orange, white and blue, but nobody
knows how, in the centuries since, the
orange became changed to red.

of the collision that many of the enor-

pier were forced from their places and
fell TO the bottom of the sea, which at
this point is between so and 40 feet
deep.
The officials Of the harbor board at
once set to work to repair the dam

blocks-by no means an easy task.
Divers were employed for this latter
work, taking down chains which they
fastened around the masonry, the

Of warning to the old switchman. He
had but second to decide.
To ditch the engine at his switch
meant death to anyone on the engine.
To allow it to pass meant taking des-
perate chances Of accident at some
other place. AT the time, about 5:15
O'Clock, the Union station sheds were
filled with homeward- bound excursion
lists. Kidney ran to his switch and
threw it So that the runaway would
take the outside track south of the
sheds. He barely had time to iump
out of the way The engine followed
the switch and fairly flew by the sta

of the Union station. The escaping
steam soon began to have its effect
and the tig runaway stopped exhausted

was hurt The switchman was con-
