He crossed into Missouri, brought away eleven

years later became the national policy under Presi-

the money needed for carrying forward his desperate

SOURCE or JOY TO THE BOYS.
Dead Leaves on Washington Streets
Make Fine Bonfires.

The abundant foliage that covers
the trees of the city streets and is
such an ornament, as well as comfort,
during the heated season, has also an
Important function when the leaves
drop, one after the other, to the pave
ment. 1t is not to keep the white
wings busy, for they have enough to
DO without the leaves to keep the
streets clear. However, the sweeper
gathers the leaves into great piles
along the curb, ready for the wagons
to cart them off. It is while in this
latter state that the leaves become a
source of joy and delight to at least d
certain portion of the residents of the
city. 1t is doubtful whether tho trees
in all the radiance of their spring
beauty give half as much pleasure to
the average small boy as pile Of the
dead and decaying skeletons of the
foliage affords.
1t is just as natural f.. him to fee
for match when he comes across
one of these tempting piles as it is for
the grown-up man to want the same
article when he has a ciga. in his
mouth. The conjunction of the match
and the leaves is not Delayed, al
though it is contrary to the statutes
in such cases provided. With one eye
ON tine lookout for the approach OF a
cop and the otne" N the pile, the
boy enjoys seeing the flames leap up
from the dead heap, while all the peo-
pie living in the neighborhood choke
and gasp as the flick, heavy smoke
cones floating into the ho@ses.
But the boy is happy, anil the sup
ply of leaves does not last long

Kept Tab on Cinnamon.

The resemblance which all China.
men bear to one another, at least in
the eyes of occidentals, sometimes
leads to embarrassment. 1t was an
anxious time Chief Clerk DENLY, of
the state department, had while es-
corting the members of the Chinese
commission about Washington, writes
a correspondent, showing them how
Americans carry on the affairs of the
government. He knows all the tricks
Of etiquette that any man needs
know, but there were so many in
the party that look alike to him that,
unless he counted them upon leaving
an Office or a building, he was not
certain that his retinue was COM
plete. He counted them all right,
but not by that way of Speaker Can
mons of pointing at the individual
whom he is registering. Instead,
DENLY counted the visitors on his
fingers much as dull boy at school
performs sums in addition during the
class on mental arithmetic, if the
teacher is not looking at him. Not
one of the dozen or two that looked
so much alike to DENLY were lost.

All Chemically Pure,

The mistaken idea of few years
ago, about Alum in Baking Powders
being injurious, no longer prevails, or
scarcely exists. It is well estab.
lished fact by chemical analysis that
Cream of Tartar being less volatile
than Alum, when exposed to heat, is
not entirely vaporiZed as is the case
with Alum, but leaves a residue in the
bread. which is injurious. Alum, on
the contrary, is entirely evaporated
while performing it's function during
process Of baking, leaving no atom OF
Injurious residuous substance. The
words Chemically Pure" enormously
used to designate Cream of Tartar
from Alum baking powder is a mis-
homer Baking Powder made of pure
Alum is as chemically pure as made
sEOm pure cream of tartar. These
words mean nothing more nor less
than pure chemicals, and in no way
can they imply that one baking pow.
der is Alum and another Cream OF
Tartar. Alum has been declared to be
wholesome; an established fact Ev.
cry large water system in the cities
along the Missouri river use Alum in
large quantities to purify the water
before pumping it into their water
mains for consumption. Cream of Tar
tar baking powder is perhaps good
enough for any one; Alum baking
powder is better, and very much
cheaper.

How Anarchists Were Fooled.

The anarchist plot to assassinate
King Victor of Italy by placing bombs
on the railway line at Ancona was
frustrated in a remarkable manner.
One day last week, says Reynolds
Newspaper, well known English
mining engineer who has had several
engagements in Spain, was riding on
a motor omnibus down Tottenham
court road.
Two foreigners assembled and in
dulged in a heated conversation in the
Catalan dialect of Spanish, a dialect
the English engineer spoke perfectly,
owing to his long residence in Cata-
lonia. He overheard the whole details
of plot to blow up the king of Italy's
train near Ancona. Realizing the
gravity of the situation, he alighted
and took cab to Scotland Yard,
where he told his story.
At first the officials were inclined to
cough, but his gravity and credentials
at length convinced them that there
might be something in his statement.
Eventually the Italian police were tel
egraphed to, the bombs were discov-
cred, and the preparations of the ter
rible outrage prevented.

Reversible figures.

There is a Western senator of rather
an irascible temper who, ON the days
when everything goes wrong, enjoys
scolding the clerks employed by his
committee.
On one occasion during the last ses-
sion of the senate, the Western solon
had desired one of the clerks to pre-
pare a tabulated statement Of certain
trade statistics of the United States.
When the statement was laid before
the testy senator, he glanced at it
with an air that BODIED trouble. Sud
denly he exclaimed:
Look here, Robinson, this won't
do. Why didn't you prepare this state
ment on the typewriter? These figures

One of the curious customs of

GOOD AND HARD.
Results of Excessive Coffee Drinking

It is remarkable what suffering
some persons put up with just to sat-
isfy an appetite for something.
A Mich. woman says: Il had been
using coffee since I was old enough to
have a cup of my own at the table,
and from it I have suffered agony
hundreds Of times in the years past.
"My trouble first began in the form
of bilious collie, coming on every few
weeks and almost ending my life. At
every attack for years I suffered in
this way. I used to pray for death to
relieve me from my suffering. | had
also attacks of sick headache, and be-
gan to suffer from catarrh of the stom-
ach, and of course awful dyspepsia.
"For about year lived on crack
ers and water. Believing that coffee
was the cause of all this suffering, I
finally quit it and began to use
Postum Food Coffee. 1t agreed with
my stomach, my troubles have left
me and I am fast gaining my health
under its use.
"No wonder l condemn coffee and
tea. No one could be in much more
critical condition than I was from
the use of coffee. Some doctors pro-
nounced it cancer, others liberation,
but none gave me any relief. But
since I stopped coffee and began Pos

heartily recommend it for all who
