out for Canada some Saturday night,

VICTIM OF THE FAMILY.
Having Made a Fortune, This Old
Man Is Now Under
Discipline.

Every morning at nine o'clock pre-
cisely an old gentleman, walking with
the aid of stout cane, enters a saloon
and takes a seat in corner where
he is comparatively safe from observa-
ton, says the New York Press. The
bartender, without asking questions,
carries to him cigar and a drink
of whisky, and the old gentleman
smokes and sips in apparent content
ment. Just before the cigae is fin
ished he takes another drink. Then he
walks slowly down to Riverside drive
and sits in shady spot until lunch
time. when he enters a fine mansion
near by and is seen no more until the
following morning.
That's a funny case" said the bar
tender, as the old gentleman went out
after his customary cigar and drinks.
Hes a retired banker and lives in
luxury. He has a large family and
they have everything they wish for.
But the old man is looked upon as
sort of necessary evil about the house.
He is not permitted to smoke in the
house, and as for drinking-why. any
member of the family would have &c
if they saw anything of an alcoholic
nature on the premises.
"Now that he has made the money
which supports them, they relegate the
old man to the rear, and he is at that
age where he hasn't spirit to rebel. So
he comes in here every day and
'sneaks' his drink and smoke and goes
back home contented. Amt this q
queer world?"

II have since continued the use of
Postum, for have grown fond of it,
and have discovered to my joy that it
has entirely relieved me of a bilious
habit which used to PROSTATE me two
or three times year, causing much
discomfort to my family and suffering
to myself.
my brother-in-law was cured OF
chronic constipation by leaving OF the
old kind of coffee and using Postum.

"In fact the entire family, from the
