SCHOLARS HABIT. Coffee Most Pernicious.

manly young fellow, working his way through school and whom the world will hear of some day. came near blighting all his prospects by coffee drinking.
 ''I drank coffee all my life" he says. and in looking back I can see that it was responsible for much of the ner- Vousness from which I suffered as d child. Four years ago. while at a pre- partory school, I began to use it more freely than ever before.
 ''I imagined it strengthened me. but as the school year went on felt that was playing out First I was troubled about studying in the evening, then got so I could not sleep well and rose in the morning refreshed My nerves grew shaky, hands trembled, eyes pain ed me, and sometimes al the black board everything would seem to turn black-I couldn't see what l was doing and would have to take my seat. Then my brain seemed to grow sluggish I could not think clearly and consecu- lively.
 Thus things went on for a year sometimes a little better, then worse again. I laid it to various causes, but didn't hit on the right one till I went to a physician. He said that my nervous system and digestion were in bad shape owing to improper diet, and the use of coffee. I said I couldn't get along with out coffee. but he insisted that I should give it uD and use Postum Food Cof- fee instead.
 q at once changed my diet, and for q time lived principally on POstum, Grape Nuts and fresh fruit. The inn provement began quickly to manifest itself. My sleep came back, my brain grew clear and active, my nerves were steadied and my digestion is better than ever before. The color has come back to my cheeks and l gained nearly 30 pounds weight in three months. My mind is active and I enjoy studying. owe it all to Postum Food Coffee and Grape-Nuts." Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich. There's a req son.

ONE GREAT DIVORCE SCANDAL
 CHECKED.

The United States supreme courts decision in the Haddock case appears to put an end to the national scandal of the divorce colonies" fostered by certain states for local profit.
 In 1868 John w. Paddock took wife in New York Later, he left her there and moved to Connecticut. There he procured a divorce in 1881, and married again. The New York courts refused to recognize the Connecticut divorce, and required Haddock to pay the New York wife with an annuity of S7S0.
 Haddocks excuse was that he did not wish to marry the first woman. Of course. the answer to that, is that if so. he should not have married her, nor have put himself in a position where he might do so under pressure.
 The supreme courts decision through Justice White, is as simple al the facts. The court was asked to compel New York to recognize the validity of the Connecticut divorce under the full faith and credit clause of the consti- tuition.
 The court answers that to do so would be to destroy the equality of the states. since it would permit states, which, for any reason, including money profit, might have lax divorce laws to impose them on states of stricter views. Furthermore. it would violate the established common law and con stitutional principle that to give de- cision a court must have jurisdiction have in its hand, as it were. either the person or the thing at issue.
 The decision is said to put the "stig- ma of illegitimacy upon thousands of children" and this view seems to have appealed strongly to the dissenting jus uces. The sO-called stigma" is pure ly technical, and really makes the lot of these children no worse than it was before.
 Of course the decision will not who'll ly end the divorce scandal It will not stop cOllusiOn between husbands and wives resolved to change partners, and il will not close the marriage mills" where so many divorce scandals begin. But it will help much.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

IT WAS 4 CORKER"
 SAID PHOENIX BOY
When ''Jarred by the Earthquake
 Which Shook San Francisco Down.

John E. Messinger who was teach ing music in San Francisco, has writ
 ten his brother, V. F. Messinger. as follows of the earthquake:
 Panhandle Park, San Francisco. April 2O 1906.
 There are at least two occasions when writing a letter is difficult when news is scarce and when there | is too much.
 Ferry Bldg, Saturday. April 21. Walked down from Panhandle Park l this morning. Am footsore, tired and cross. Have about d dollar left in my pocket, but money is of small use in San Francisco now, except in case of moving and other small conveniences. When the earthquake woke H. and me last Wednesday morning of course we realized that the quake was heav- fer than any we had felt for some time. but neither of us were scared enough to jump out of bed. We merely ex- claimed, as we braced ourselves against the edges of the bed, ''Whew, that's a corker.' and such common place expressions. No bottles or pie lures fell and the only indication we had of any special occurrence was the sound of breaking glass and tspe clang of the fire bell a moment after the shake.
 My pulse didn't hurry mite until couple of women began to howl as if killed, then mister pulse jumped and reared a bit After it was all over, We remarked. Gee, if that had been any harder there might nave been something doing" and A little more might have disIodged beam or two"
 H. said. ''Whew, wasn't that the limit" I said, "Uh-huh,' yawned and 'pulled the quilts over me, and so did H. I spoke of my cousin from the east who had come to visit in the city only few days previously and H. remarked in falsetto voice, Cousin Ella will go right back to Bridgeport, Illinois,"
 few minutes later H. said he couldn't sleep any more: so might as well go out and see what's going on. I said: 'All right, you got two hours more sleep than I did, so I'm not going to get up for two hours"
 In the course of an hour ne came back and what he had to say aroused my interest so that I turned out right away
 Little did I guess, as I Eaped and stretched, dressing so leisurely, what fate waited the favored city of the Golden West. H. went to the faucet to wash, and l heard him say. Hello, there's no water. Well. John, that be- gins to look bad. There's a fire in the wholesale district near California and Battery, and another south of Market, near Howard and Fourth.
 My interest grew and I worked a bit faster with my toilet. When I got down to the street surprise came upon me, and as I walked down Powell to- ward the Ramona" my surprise grew to amazement, colored somewhat with the horror of the brick and stone and wire stTewn streets and the growing glare of the fires from two sides.
 However. it didn't seem real to me. Where am I, 1 kept asking myself. "Is this my own city?" I got to the Ramona at 7:30 and went right through to N-s room. The door was wide open but no trace of her any where. The floor was pretty well sprinkled with plaster.
 The sequel to this story I will write in day or two.

He loaned James McCue some money
on a valuable piece of property and
when the time came for McCue to pay
the mortgage, Bradberry. who coveted
the property, deliberately set about
to secure possession Of it on a trivial
mortgage. He went to the bank
where McCue as rule secured &C
cancellations and asked them not to
advance McCue any money. He hoped
by this means to beat McCue out o.
the property and get il for "a song.
McCue, as Is we'll known all over
California is not an easy man TO tribe
with in litigation, as Bradherry found
later on. He brought suit against
Bradbury and charged him with try
ing to stop the sources of money

to get the property. Bradbury on The
stand denied ever having made such
an attempt. but the testimony Of the
bank officials was against him and
he was convicted of perjury and viii
