"oLp MAN" LlBBY'S DEER.
Remarkable Story Of Killing Told by
Blind Guide.

"Old Man" Libby is one of the best
known guide camp keepers in the
state of Maine, and for years has been
totally blind Four years ago he car
ried into Bangor the carcass of
deer, and had it taken to the Office
of Fish and Game Commissioner Car
penter. Libby expressed the wish
that the venison be given to the Ban
gor hospital.
Carpenter wanted to know who
killed the deer, and was much sur
when Libby claimed to have been the
destroyer.

you, blind man, manage to kill this
deer?"

CHINA THE LAND OF DUCKS.
Staple Article of Food for Residents
of Celestial Empire.

There are more ducks in China
than in all the rest of the world.
China, literally, is white with these
birds, and day and night the country
resounds with their metallic and
scornful voices.
Children herd ducks on every road,
on every pond, on every farm, on
every lake, on every river There Is
no back yard without its duck house.
There is no boat, little or big, with
out its duck quarters.
Even in the cities of China ducks
abound. They dodge between the
coolies legs. They fit squawking out
of the way of the horses Their in
dignant quack will not unseldom
drown the roar of urban commerce.
All over the land there are great
duck Matching establishments, many
of them of capacity huge enough
to produce $4,000 young ducks every
year.
The Chinese duck is extremely ten
der and delicate-the best tame duck
for eating in the world Duck among
the Chinese is the staple delicacy.
1t is sailed and smoked like ham or
beef, and duck eggs are eaten as chick
en- eggs are in America.

COFFEE IMPORTERS
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-stimulant type 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 If persisted in 1t
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-a using Postum
Food Coffee for a matter of ten days.
If the result is relief from nervous
trouble, dyspepsia, bowel complaint,
heart failure, weak eyes, or any other
malady set up by a poisoned nervous
system, you have your answer with
| the accuracy of demonstration In
| mathematics.
There's a reason" for Postum.

Dealers in pet stock say that SUI

ing as the latest fad the raising OF

and brilliant plumage of these bellig-

BUSINESS BAROMETER.
Each Week Brings New High Water
Mark In Some Branch Of Industry.

New York-R. G.. Dun & Co. s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Abundant crops and an oversold
steel industry engender sentiments Of
confidence that make the outlook
bright for a continuance of present
prosperous business conditions. Each
week brings a new high water mark
in some department and the net result
is uniformly better than for the cor.
responding week in any previous year.
The weather has favored both crops
and the distribution of merchandise,
while the latter is increased by sea-
sonable bargain sales.
Despite unprecedented preparations
for business by liberal purchase of
rolling stock. the railways are facing
serious traffic blockade that cannot
be avoided when the crops begin to
move freely. Earnings thus far re.
ported for August were III per cent
larger than last year.
Failures this week numbered 176 In
the United States, against 21S last
year. and l6 in Canada, compared with
IS year ago.
