Waves That Rise and Fall.

Every once in while a wave OF
public sentiment sweeps across the
country, as definable in it's movement
and character as any other real and
physical thing. Generally speaking,
this popular feeling finds expression
in suggested legislation or constitu-
tional amendment. Any student of
American history, viewed from it's po-
litical and legislative standpoint,
knows that an examination of congress
sional records presents a panaroma,
so to speak, Of great public move
ments, eliminating sometimes in &C.
tual legislation, but more frequently
subsiding without definite result 1t
is good thing to clear the political
and social atmosphere with these up
heavals. Stagnant air is fatal, and
even cyclone, with all it's accom-
panying trouble, is preferable to an
atmosphere SO heavy that it has lost
all it's vitality. Washington Post.

COFFEE HEART.
Very Plain in Some People,,

A great many people go on suffering
from annoying ailments for long time
before they can get their own consent
to give UP The indulgence from which
their tr0dble arises.
A gentleman in Brooklyn describes
hisfexperiencc. as follows:
rs'I became satisfied some months ago
that owed the palpitation of the
heart. from which I 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 beverage
II realized that must give up the
harmful indulgence in coffee, but felt
the necessity for hot table drink, and
as tea is not to my liking, was at
loss for awhile, what to do.
Zone day l ran across very sensible
and straightforward presentation of
the claims of Postum Food Coffee. and
was so impressed thereby that con-
cluded to give it a trial. My experience
with it was unsatisfactory till learned
how it ought to be prepared-by thor
ougb boiling for not less than Is or 20
minutes. After learned that lesson
there was no trouble. Postum Food
Coffee proved to be most palatable
and satisfactory hot beverage, and |
have used it ever since.
1.-THE effect on my health has been
most salutary 1t has completely cured

to suffer SO much, particularly after
breakfast, and never have return of

JovlAL SIR WALTER SCOTT.

Scottish Gentleman.

LIghtsome and Gay and a Fine Old
Scottish Gentleman.
Every one may be said to know the
author OF "Waverley," but George
Croal of Edinburgh. who has been inter
viewed by the Dispatch Of that city,
enjoys the distinction Of having talked
to the man in the flesh and of being
probably the sole survivor among
those who heard Sir Walter Scott de-
clare himself the author of "Waver-
ley" at public dinner in the assem-
bly, room in 1927.
"The announcement did not come
quite as surprise" says Mr.. Croal,
for it had been limited that Sir Wal
ter would reveal himself I can re-
call the suppressed interest of the
gathering throughout the dinner
proper. 1t was in reply to the toast
Of his health that Sir Walter admitted
the soft impeachment. I can remem.
Der his closing words exactly. They
were: I am the sole and undivided
author of "Waverley."' Needless to
say there was great enthusiasm. The
company rose en- masse and I thought
the roof would come off,"
Scott, Mr.. Croal adds, was congrat-
ulated all round. ct was a gay night
and the utmost conviviality pre-
vailed"
Asked whether he recollected the
personality Of Sir Walter Scott, Mr..
Croal replied that he did SO wildly.
HE was lightsome and gay and
looked the real type of fine old Scot
fish gentleman, chatting animatedly
with one of the law lords sitting next
to him. He made first-class after
dinner speaker and, young though l
vas, | carried away last impression
OF his kindly social disposition"
In the course of the evening Sir
Walter complimented Charles Mac
kay, the comedian, who was present,
upon his success in the role of Bailie
Nicol Jarvie. Mackay was embar-
raised and Mr.. Croal distinctly re-
members him saying: who would
have thought | would get such a com
pliment from the great unknown"
mot unknown now. Mr.. Bailie," jocu-
larly retorted Sir Walter.

The Passageway of the Seven Steps,
Chinatown's main thoroughfare, runs
from the street into the Court of SUI
preme Felicity. On it's way thither it
passes the Court of Honorable Men,
where dwell the bachelor labo-ers, and
the Court of Transplanted Wisdom,
where the old men come to air their
opinions. But Chao Wing stopped at
neither Of these places; the Court OF
Supreme Felicity was the family quar-
ter, and there Kiang Yeh was to be
found.
He turned into the court and went
slowly around it, under the latticed
balconies Of the second-story apart
ments. Kiang's family lived on an
upper floor, but he never dared openly
to visit her He shuddered at his
temerity in gazing at her chubby face
through the interstices Of the lattice.
He had often heard Lee Xvi, the
storekeeper and banker, and his own
father, Chao Hal, the ivory cutter,
condemn such practices, and cali up
on each loyal son to honor the home
customs in all things, especially in al
lowing a parent to select a wife for
his son.
Ai-ya, but the foreign way was much
the sweeter. Kiang, as well as he, had
been born in this land; they had
learned much that was foreign. 1t
was hard that they could not meet,
and love, and marry. as the fan-qui
Cforeign devils) did. He remembered
a company Of players that he looked
down upon, along with a band Of
shouting, peanut-eating foreigners. He
understood but sentence now and
then, hut one Of the woman players
was beloved by one Of the men, and
just before everybody went home the
man received her in his arms and
kissed her upon the forehead
In such manner he desired to re-
ceive Kiang Yeh. He would work for
her; he would defend her; nay, more
he would brave his parents, and,
stealing her from her home, he would
draw the narrow knife and defy even
the grim hatchet-men of the Suey Yep
to take her from him. All this he
would do if she were willing. She
must first be willing.
The air-castles faded away when he
came under the balcony of her fam
lily. He struck two blows upon one of
the wooden supports, and presently in
an upper room he heard her voice:
Honorable mother, in short time
I will finish the task that you have
given me. Then, while you rest, l
shall go out on the balcony"
"Ai-ya," exclaimed another voice.
You need not speak SO loudly. One
would think that I stood across the
court, gossiping with 10y Foo. in
stead Of reclining here. Go out and
welcome, Kiang Yeh.o
Who but she could have thought so
quickly of that design to let him know
that she heard the signal? Never
was there another who could do the
like. She must be persuaded to be
carried away by him before another
learned how wise she was. Then
there was his father, beginning to
speak of the necessity for grandchil-
dren to carry on ancestral worship.
His honorable father would have a
go-between arranging a match for him
with some stupid smnggled-in woman
from the Middle Kingdom; Kiang
must be persuaded that very day.
Kiang came, and, opening tiny
