KAlSER'S DIGNITY WAS HURT.
Offended by Shoes Of One Of His Con.
sular Agents.

The enthusiasm of the good Norwe-
gians for Queen Alexandra is the
more remarkable as, in the matter Of
crowned heads, they have some ex-
cuse for affecting to be blase.
The German emperor, of course, is
a regular frequenter Of the fjords, but
he allows no liberties to be taken
with his sacred person. On one occa.
sion when the Hohenzollern anchored
off little town, the German consular
agent, as in dHty bound, went aboard

possessed Of a uniform, it did not ap-
pear to him necessary to appear at
midday in the comic opera kit OF
evening dress on board the vessel.
He therefore presented himself in
an attire that compromised the official
correctness of frock coat by brown
boots. His majesty, however, resent
ed the informality, called the atten.
tion of the consul general at Bergen
to the solecism, and announced his

Publish a Book About Coffee,

There has been much discussion as
to Coffee and Postum lately, so much
in fact that some Of the coffee import.
ers and roasters have taken to type
to promote the sale of their wares
and check if possible the rapid growth
of the use of Postum Food Coffee.
In the coffee importers book a chap.
ter is headed Coffee as a Medicine"
and advocates its use as such.
Here IS An admission Of the truth.
most important to all interested.
Every physician knows. and every
thoughtful person should know, that
habitual use of any medicine" of the
drug-stimulaut tvpe Of coffee or whis.
ky quickly causes irritation of the
tissues and organs stimulated and
finally sets up disease in the great
majority Of cases II persisted in. II
may show in any one Of the many
organs of the body and in the great
majority of cases can be directly
traced to coffee in a most unmistak.
able way by leaving off the active ir.
ritant-coffee-and using Postum
Food Coffee fcs matter of ten days.
II the result is relief from nervous
trouble, dyspepsia, bowel complaint,
heart failure, weak eyes, or any other
malady set mp by poisoned nervous
system, you have your answer with
the accuracy of a demonstration in
mathematics.
There's reason" for Postum.

State Cotton Sold.

The State Penitentiary Board yes
terday sold the 500 bales of cotton
now on the wharf at the convict farm
in Lincoln county to T. II. Hutchison,
representing w. A. Short & Co., for
prices ranging from to 16 IL cents
pound. For several days the board
has had samples of the cotton on ex-
hibition in this city, in the hope Of
securing a good price for it, but the
highest bid for the entire amount was
1-2 cents several days ago. Members
of the board decided this was too low,
and the cotton was held until yester-
day, when it was decided to sell it
according to grade at prices ranging
from cents to 16 IL cents. The cot
ton has not yet been weighed, but it
is expected the price will be between
$4,000 and $4,000.
