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 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 I suffered almost daily, to { fhe use of coffee, q had been a coffee drinker for 30 years), but I found it very hard to give up the beverage
 .eI realized that must give up the harmful indulgence in coffee, but l felt the necessity for a hot table drink, and as tea is not to my liking, I was at loss for awhile what to do.
 ..One day II ran across very sensi- ble and straightforward presenta- tion of the claims of Postum Food Cof- fee, and was so impressed there by that | concluded to give it a trial. My experience with 1t was unsatisfactory till I learn cd how it ought to be prepared-by thorough boiling for not less than 15 or 20 minutes After learned that lesson there was no trouble4 Postum Food Coffee proved to be a most palatable and satisfactory hot beverage, and have used it ever since.
 s.The effect on my health has been most salutary. It has completey cured the heart palpitation from which used to suffer so much, particularly after breakfast, and I never have return of it except when I dine or lunch away from home and am compelled te drink the. old kind of coffee because Postum is not served. I find that Postum Food Coffee cheers and invigor- ates while it produces no harmful stim- ulation." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich.
 There's a reason.
 Ten days trial proves an eye opener to many. @

The wood is covered with leather, with brass strips and heavy corners for protection. The type is old English. The volume is in a very good state of preservation.

NAVIGATING THE ARKANSAS.

Charles Gibson, writer of Creek h. dian history, speaking of the proposed navigation of the Arkansas River from Muskogee to Fort Smith, said recently that when he was a boy the Arkansas River from Little Rock, Ark, was one of the main thoroughfares over which this southwestern army drew it's sup Nies.
 t"M My father" he continued, twas a white man, and came to. Indian Terri tory in 1882, where he was captain of a boat, not a steamer, but an old-fash- toned 65-foot boat, worked by six men with paddles and poles, as the case required. In those days the peo- pie of this country were isolated from the rest of the United States, and they were obliged to rustic. The white men fared as best they could. There were no conventions held to talk river navi- gation, no conventions for good roads, and necessity taught my dad and others the need of importing the white mans grub into this country.
 The slow progress of the fatboat land ox-Wagons made great demand IOI COLeGy #SuSdT, llUult '$IlCS, F LUDdCCU, and sweet potatoes. Corn and hogs were plentiful in this country, but cof- fee, sugar, and flour the natives did not raise. Blankets and dry goods were in demand. We were about to omit one iof the commodities of that day-whis- key. Now, in those days the treaties between thesa Creeks and the United States were as strict as they are to- day, but the stuff could be found in any natives house by the gallon if the
 owner wished to keep it, and such { thing as sending any one to the peni- ltentiary for selling whiskey was never
 heard of. The hands of the f1at-boats
 had all the whiskey they wanted to drink. l Although the means of transporta- ton in those days were slow, yet tons
 and tons of foodstuffs were brought up
 the Arkansas and Canadian Rivers.
 North Fork Town was the distributing
 point. The streets of that place were at
 all times crowded and damned with OK
 wagons, some delivering goods to the
 boats, others receiving supplies for all lsections of this Western country. A
