COFFEE HEART
Very Plain in Some People.

A great many people go on suifer-
ing from annoying ailments for long
time before they can get their own
consent to give up the indulgence
from which their trouble arises.
A gentleman in Brooklyn describes
his experience as follows:
II became satisfied some months
ago that ! owed the palpitation OF the
heart from which | suffered almost
daily, to the use of coffee q had been
a coffee drinker for 80 years., but |
found 1t very hard to give up the bev-
erage.
81 realized that must give up the
harmful indulgence in coffee but
felt the necessity for rhot table
drink, and as tea is not TO my liking,
was at loss for awhile what to do.
zone day ran across a very SEN
sible and straightforward presenta'
ton of the claims of Postum Food
Coffee, and was so impressed thereby
that | concluded to give it trial. MY
experience with it was unsatisfactory

pared-by thorough boiling for not
less than Is or 20 minutes. After
learned that lesson there was nc
trouble Postum Food Coffee proved
to be most palatable and satistac'

ever since.
"The effect on my health has been
most salutary. 1t has completely

Scotch Domlnie's String Music.

The new minister was breaking the
Sabbath. There could be no doubt
of that, for the little Scotch hamlet
had been scandalized two Sundays
running by unmistakable sounds OF
stringed music from the hitherto ST.
lent parsonage, says the London
Chronicle. A doputation of elders
waited upon the erring divine. In
silence he heard their panied accuse
ton. in silence brought out large
old double bass viol, and proceeded
to drone out hymn tune. The cir
Gle of elders grew shamefaced, as
they listened. The tune ceased, and
their leader had an inspiration.
"Aweel, meenister," he exclaimed
with JUNCTION, I'VE didna ken 1t was

Old English Labor Customs.

In his History of Coal Mining" R.
W. Galloway points out that what APP
pear to be traces of primitive state
OF servitude existed in StaffOrdshire,
where the laborers employed In the
haulage of coal continued to be known
as 'bondsmen"-a name probably
coming down from a remote period; a
supposition which receives support
from a peculiar service required OF
them, known as "buildases." This
consisted in working at times in the
morning without receiving any pay
ment beyond a drink of ale. This Gus.
tom of exacting labor without pay Is
supposed to represent some ancient
service required from their tenants
by the monks of the Abbey OF Build
was, in Shropshire, whence the name
was derived.

he has been sent abroad for finish,
culture and experience, and now that
he is home again we are starting him

much experience and laying sound
business foundation, but as far as

NO MORE HEADACHE
GENERAL WEAKNESS AND FEVER
DISAPPEAR TOO.
How Woman Was Freed from Troubles
That Had Made Life Wretched for
Many Years.

The immediate causes of headaches
vary, but most Of them come from poor
or poisoned blood. In anemia the blood
is scanty or thin; the nerves are imper-
fectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
the nerves and produces pain. In rheu-
matism, malaria and the grip, the poison
lin the blood produces like discomfort. In
indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect the
blood in the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures at best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out
Iof the blood. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
ION the contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma-
,nently. Women in particular have found
these pills al unfailing relief in head
aches caused by anamia.
Miss Stella Blocker recently said: "Dr.
Williams Pink Pills did me a great deal
of good. had headache nearly all the
time. After / had taken three boxes of
these pills became entirely well"
Chow long had you suffered ?" she
was asked.
"For several years. I can't tell the
exact date when my illness began for it

did you have any other ailments?"
81 was very weak and sometimes had
fever. My liver and kidneys were af-
fected as well as my head"
"How did you come to take the rem
tedy that cured you?"
Il saw in southern newspaper a
statement of some person who was cured
of a like trouble by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. My physician hadn't done me any
good, SO l bought box of these pills.
After had taken one box felt SO much
better that kept on until I became en-

Louisiana. DR. Williams Pink Pills are
sold by all druggists. Besides headache
they cure neuralgia, sciatica, nervous
prostration, partial paralysis and rheu-

THIEF" PROVED AN ALIBl.
AdroitIy Turned Tables on Surprised
Woman and Saved His Dignity.

Woman's inability to identify an as
sailant was curiously proved recently,
says the New York World, when vic
tim of circumstances that were en-
barrassing, not TO say, discriminating,
contrived by remarkable presence or
mind and no less wonderful agility to
neatly extricate himself from what
might have been the deadly conse-
quences of an innocent adventure.
1t was in a Harlem apartment
house. The young man occupies an
apartment on one of the upper floors.
While gazing from his window the
idea flashed through his brain that in
case of fire there might be some diff
fculty in reaching the ground. He
concluded that over the roof would be
the only feasible means, and promptly
started to explore. Buttoning his coat
and pulling his hat down over his
eyes, to avoid the glare, he stepped
out on the fire escape and began to
mount.
In passing a window story or two
above he was paraiyzed to behold a
woman in deshabille standing in the
window
She was no less startled than he.
Shouting Thieves! Murder! Police.
Fire!" she dashed into the hall, rang
every bell within reach and put the
house in an uproar.
The discounted gentleman on the
fire escape almost fell down the mar
row iron ladder into his own apart
ment, threw off his hat and coat,
rushed into the corridor and fastened
upstairs, three at time, to help the
screaming lady above.
He was one of the first on the
scene heard her fearful story of the
burglar who had been about to climb
in her window, and breathing dire
threatenings made the most thorough
and vain-search for that bold, bad
man.
She thought him so sympathetic.
The alibi was complete.

Whu mRen Hurv Was Written.

So many accounts have been print
ed of Gen. Wallace's reason for writ
ing "Ben-Hur" that it may be well to
state here, with the authority OF his
own word, that in conversation with
Col Robert G. Ingersoll, whom he met
on a railway journey in Indiana, Gen.
Wallace was so astounded by the
boldness of the infidels attacks on re-
lgion that he at once undertook to
investigate the Christian claims for
himself, beginning with the Bible and
carving his reading through all aces
sible authorities His own mind was
cleared of doubts, and he presently
wrote a short story describing the
meeting of the Wise Men, with no pur-
pose other than to offer it as sketch
for a Christmas number of a maya
zine. But the subject grew upon him,
and the opportunities for a larger
treatment of the theme led him to
plan the romance on which his liter
ary reputation largely rests.-Mere-
