Coffee knitted On Old Soldier

An old soldier, released from cof-
fee at ", recovered his health and tells
about it as follows:
Il stuck to coffee for years, although
it knitted me again ard again.
About eight years ago (as a result
of coffee drinking which congested my
liver), / was taken with very severe
attack of malarial fever.
Il would apparently recover and
start about my usual work only to suf-
fer a relapse. After this had been
repeated several times during the year
was again taken violently i'll.
"The Doctor said he had carefully
studied my case, and it was either quit
coffee or die, advising me to take Pos
tum in its place. had always thought
coffee one of my dearest friends, and
especially when sick, and I was very
much taken back by the Doctors deci-
sion, for / hadn't suspected the coffee
l drank could possibly cause my trou-
BILE.
/ thought it over for a few minutes,
and finally told the Doctor / would
make the change. Postum was pro-
cured for me the same day and made
according to directions; well, / liked
it and stuck to it, and since then
have been new man. The change in
health began in few days and sur
prised me, and now, although | am
seventy-two years of age, do lots OF
hard work, and for the past month
have been teaming, driving sixteen
miles day besides loading and UNI
loading the wagon. That's what Pos
tum in the place of coffee has done
for me. / now like the Postum as we'll
as ! did coffee.
Il have known people who did not
care for Postum at first, but after hav-
ing learned to make it properly accord
ing to directions they have come to
like it as we'll as coffee. never miss
a chance to praise It." Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

DEATH OF SENATOR GORMAN
CLOSE OF A NOTABLE CAREER
IN CONGRESS.
The Democratic Leader in the q. s..
Senate Dies After Several
Months Illness.

Washington, June 5.-Arthur Pue
German, United States senator from
Maryland. died suddenly at mis- resi-
dence here yesterday. While Senator
Gorman had been i'll for many months
he had shown some improvement late
ly. Heart trouble was the immediate
cause of death.
Up to the moment of death Senator
German was conscious His condition
during the week had improved so much
that the family had hopes or shortly
taking him to the country. He par
took of some nourishment at 8 o'clock
in the morning, but at o'clock he was
seized with heart attack and died in
five minutes
Beside the bed were Mrs. German,
Miss Ada German, the senator's eldest
daughter, and nurse. When the at
tack came physicians were sent for,
but the senator was dead before he
arrived.
Senator German long had been a
notable figure in the national congress.
He first took his seat in 1881 and served
continuously for eighteen years, and
nearly all of that time was the leader
of his party in the senate. Winning
early reputation for sagacity and the
keenest Judgment in congressional af-
fairs, he attained prominence, not only
as leader in the senate, but in the
country at large, and by many men
was considered the most available man
in his party for the presidency.
1t was announced that the funeral
will be held at Senator Germans late
residence Thursday.
Senator German in a written request
addressed to Mrs. German asked that
no state funeral should be held. He
said he did not wish his body brought
to the capitol as he wanted his col
leagues always to remember as an ac-
tive senator.

HAY WAS DIPLOMATIC EVER
The Late Secretary of State "TIad a
Way with Him. That
Always Won.

Story is told of the late John Hay
illustrative of that fine diplomatic
temperament that made his name
know all over the world, says the
American Spectator.
Some years ago Mr.. Hay sent Mr..
Alexander Gum, of Cleveland, for his
perusal the manuscript of an interest
ing bit OF work by Mark Twain, en-
titled, "a Conversation as it was at
the Social Fireside in the Time of the
Tudors." Mr.. Hay knew that his
friend Gum, a connoisseur of litera-
ture and art, would be much interest
ed in what the former termed ''seri-
GUS effort to bring back our literature
and philosophy to the chaste, Eliza
bethan standard"
Now it appears that Mr.. Gum was
so delighted with Twain's sketch that
Re wrote to Mr.. Hay proposing to
print limited number of copies there
of for private distribution. 1t is said
that Mr.. Hay replied as follows:
'"The proposition you make to pull
few proofs of Twain's masterpiece is
highly attractive, and, of course, high
ly immoral. cannot properly consent
to the suggestion, as l am afraid the
great man would think l was taking
an unfair advantage of his confidence.
Accordingly, l will thank you to send
back the manuscript as soon as pos
sible: but If, in spite of my prohibit
ton, you take those proofs, save me
one"
1t was superfiuous to add that, with
this hint the proofs were pulled
one for Mr.. Hay and one for Mr..
Gum.
