Frankness of Spanish Waiter.

E. B. Dewhurst, the Australian ten
mis- champion, said at dinner party in
New York:
American walters are much supe
rior to those of Spain. Travelling is
cheap and comfortable in Spain; liy-
ing is cheap and comfortable there,
but Spanish walters are often rude
They are particularly rude to Amer.

for Americans. The old wound. you
see, still rankles.
I'm Madrid one day entered a res
taurant and ordered a cut of beef. The
waiter, after a long delay, brought
the beef to me--a miserable, tough
and grisly cut
Waiter, said l, is this beef from
the black bull they killed at the bull
fight yesterday
THE waiter looked at me with a
sheer.
No, monsieur he said. 1T is from
one of the horses that they killed al

Tyler Cobb Told Him a WAY.

Some years ago, when Tyler Cobb
ran general store at the corner of
Main and High streets, in Brockton.
Mass, in what is now the Metropoli
tan hotel, his store was the gathering
place for the wits and story tellers OF
the vicinity. Some of them are now
wealthy merchants of Brockton. and
one of them tells this story:
"The stories told of Tyler's queer
sayings are legion. This one illustrates
his shrewdness as we'll as his wit. He
had a man working for him whom he
several times caught taking home meal
which he kept for his horses. The
hired man, who WAS unaware that he
had been detected, one day asked
Tyler for a raise in pay. Upon being
asked why he should receive more, he
answered that he could not support
his family and buy food for them with
what he got.
Lord almighty, man." said Tyler
take more meal, take more meal"

victim Of the coffee heart" writes
from Oregon:

fee all my life and have suffered very
much in recent years from ailments
which | became satisfied were directly
due to the poison}in the beverage, such
as torpid liver and Indigestion, which
in turn made my complexion blotchy
and muddy.
Then my heart became affected II
would beat most rapidly just after l
drank my coffee, and go below normal
as the coffee effect wore off. Some
times my pulse would go as high as
1877 beats to the minute. My family
were greatly alarmed at my condition
and at last mother persuaded me to
begin the use of Postum Food Coffee.
Il gave up the old coffee entirely
and absolutely, and made Postum my
sole table beverage. This was six
months ago, and all my ills, the indi-
gestion, inactive liver and rlckety
heart action, have passed away. and
my complexion has become clear and
natural. The improvement set In

time to work out Of my system.

strengthening than the old heavier
meal we used to have with the other

RAILROADS CAN'T
HANDLE THE TRADE
TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES
PUT TO SEVERE TEST.
BUSINESS BRISK EVERYWHERE
Dunn and 5radstreet Report That the
Shipments of Merchandise for
Spring Trade Are Extreme
ly Heavy This Year.

n " York, March pr. G.. Dun &
Col Weekly Review Of Trade says:
fISpring trade responds to seasonable
weather, and shipments of merchandise
have increased so rapidly that railway
facilities are severely taxed. At many
<oints there is complaint Of ear and mo-
tive power shortage, and navigation on
lakes and rivers at the north has not
opened up as promptly as business de-
mands. The customary damage from
floods has rendered many mills idle, and
several minor events added to the num-
Der Of unemployed, but these temporary
adverse features are more than Offset by
the resumption ofsoutdoor work, espe-
cially in building operations and on the
farms. Buyers are arriving in large
numbers at primary markets, warm
weather accelerating preparations for
easter trade. Manufacturing activity
continues, the best news of the week
coming from the iron and steel indus
try, where new records are constantly
established.
Failures this week numbered 255 in
the United States, against 226 last year,
and 16 in Canada, compared with Is a
year ago"
Bradstreet's says: while rejecting ir-
regularities, due to rainy weather at the
east and south, high water in central
western rivers, and poor conditions OF
country roads generally, the volume OF
distributive trade and the movement OF
industry hold the increase record last
week. From the south, in fact, the tenor
Of advices is even better. Retail trade
at the large cities is livening up as spring
advances. Crop reports, especially
from winter wheat, are increasingly IA
vorable, notably in the southwest. Rail-
way earnings reflect a heavy grain
movement, large movement Of iron
and allied products, and heavy mer-
chandise shipments in an increase of
nine per cent. for the first half Of.
March. Money has hardened at num-
Der of cities, but collections still lag.
Especially active lines of trade are dry
goods, shoes and clothing, notably at
the west. Lu-4Ser, hardware, paints and
oils reflect in country wide, the ap-
proach of an active building season, and
hides and leather are active and firmer
at leading west and eastern markets.
Farm machinery and implement dealers
report demand active in the northwest.
