BEES CLOSED A MINE.
Swarmed in Millions and Men Were
 Unable to Work.

There are instances in great number where .mining operations were tenn porarily suspended by a shortage of funds or by water flooding the proper ty, but it remained for Mohawk. a small station along the Southern Pa cific, to furnish new cause which is unique in the history of mining. The company affected owns the Red Cross mines in the Mohawk mountains.
 Millions of bees, attracted by the water at these mines and forced from their hives in the mountains by the drought, took possession of the water supply, and their numbers were so great that it was found impossible to drive the swarms away. Consequently the mines have been shut down until the rainy season sets in, when it is hoped the bees will return to their mountain homes.-Sacramen Bee.

RIGHT HOM E..
Doctor. Recommends Postum from
 Personal Test.

No one is better able to realize the injurious action of caffeine-the drug in coffee-on the heart, than the doc tor.
 When the doctor himself has been relieved by simply leaving off coffee and using Postum, he can refer with full conviction to his own case.
 A Mo- physician prescribes Postum for many of his patients because he was benefited by it. He says:
 T wish to add my testimony in re- gard to that excellent preparation Postum. l have had functional or nervous heart trouble for over 15 years. and part of the time was unable to attend to my business.
 T was moderate user of coffee and did not think drinking it hurt me. But on stopping it and using Postum in stead. my heart has got all right, and I ascribe it to the change from coffee to Postum.
 T am prescribing it now in cases of sickness, especially when coffee does not agree, or affects the heart, nerves or stomach.
 When made right it has much better flavor than coffee, and is vital sustainer of the system. l shall con tinue to recommend it to our people, and I have my own case to refer to. Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich Read the little book, The Road to Melville" in pkgs. There's a reason

BRAVED ANGER OF KING,
Lafayette Haunted Liberty Medal ln
 Face of Louis.

Shortly after Lafayette's return to France from his second sojourn in America, he was at Versailles, where the king was about to review a divi. sion of troops. Lafayette was asked to join in the review
 He was dressed in the American uni form, and was standing by the side of the Prince de Condo, when the king, in his tour of conversation with the officers, came to him, and, after speaking on several topics, asked him some questions about his uniform and the military costume of the United States. The kings attention was at tracted by little medal attached to the generals coat, and he asked what it was.
 Lafayette replied that 1t was a sym. bol which 1t was the custom of for eign officers in American service to wear, and that it bore device.
 And what is the device upon yours?" asked the king.
 My device" said the young gen. eral, pointing to his medal, lis lib erty pole standing on broken crown and scepter."
 The king smiled, and with some pleasantly upon the republican pro- pensities of a French Marquis in American uniform, turned the conyer- sation into other channels. Condo looked grave, but was silent.-The Sunday Magazine.

The LEDGER is informed that a move
ment is on foot to either raise the

saloon men now buying off opposition
to let loose. The idea seems to pre-
vail that the city is entitled TO another
