Isn't itQueer :?

How trifling some people think of their health? They drink, drink and drink, and do not care or think for moment what they are drinking. Some peopie will drink a cup of tea or. coffee just because 1t was poured from tea or coffee pot; they wouldn't know wleth- pr it was the first or second drawing, or some that one of thelr nelghDors sent in because they were afraid to drink it themselves. Of course there are large number of people Who know what a nice, good favore9 lea CT coffee is, particularly the peopie who drink the kind we sell. II they are buying at our store any lengtn ol time you can't fool them because tneir taste will be educated properly. say. we were dumbfounded to read i'll Ne" York paper the other day where the American and British "Jackies, were to be entertained at Coney Island, ana On the bill of fare not one cup or tea was to be had. yet there was twenty six thousand bottles of beer and only o5 pounds of cake and 100 gallons ol coffee. Of course there was lots or meats, fish. etc. but just see what they had to drink. How can they be good citizens or brave soldiers and be able to punish 26.000 bottles of beer in q couple of hours. No. sirree, if you want to be brave soldier, good citl- zen and enjoy first-rate health, drink nothing stronger than good tea and coffee, the kind we sell will fill the bill.

some urgent occasion required it. He
never boosted of himself or his parts.
He abhorred lying and swearing, being
Just in all that lay in his power to his
word. not seeming to revenge injuries,
loving to reconcile differences and
make friendship with all. He had a

excellent discerning Of persons, being
Of good Judgment and quick wit. AS
for his person. he was tall of stature,
strong boned, though not corpulent,
somewhat OF q ruddy face, with spar
king eyes, wearing his hair on his up
per lip after the old British fashion,
his hair reddish, but In his latter days
time had sprinkled it with gray. His
nose was well set, but not declining or
bending. and his mouth moderately
large. his forehead something high and
his habit always plain and modest"
