IN MEMORIAM.

| lin sad and loving remembrance of my dear hus
band, JOSEPH G. CAPLE who departed this life eigh
years ago, December Goth, 1898.
Day by day saw him fade.
And slowly sink away;
Yet in my heart often prayed
That he might longer stay.
You are not forgotten, husband dear,
Nor will you ever be,
For as long as life and memory lasts
will remember thee.
Dearest husband how I miss you,
Miss you more than heart can tell:
Every hour and day that passes
Brings me nearer with you to dwell.
Gone but not forgotten.

Ear Blown Off, Sewed on Again.

Frank Fleming was standing ON the railway
platform at Buckeye Station, WASH, as a
freight engine passed. w thout warning the
cylinder head of the engine blew out. Elem
ing's right ear was cut off by a flying missile
as cleanly as if the work had been done by a
skilled surgeon. Passengers who fastened to
extend sympathy to Fleming were brushed
aside by him while he instituted a search for
the severed ear. 1t was found intact several
yards from the scene of the accident. Flem.
ing picked it up, placed it in his pocket and
carried it to Loon Lake, where surgeon re-
stored it to its normal position.

BILL BOARDS IN MANCHURIA.

It seems that Manchuria is suffering from an invasion of the American bill board. The infiction is alluded to in a report of Consul Summons of Much wang to the department of commerce and labor He says that the tax on cigarettes has been raised about 400 per cent. and that the native guilds are protesting The increased tax hurts American trade i'll tobacco, too, Amer ican exports of leaf being an important factor in our Chinese trade. The Chi nese, he says, are copying American methods of advertising and exploiting in many ways, and one of the smaller firms in Manchuria did thriving busi- ness in refilling boxes of standard brand with cigarettes of their own manufacture till it was suppressed.
 In closing, MT. Sammons says:
 The cigarette advertising on Chi nese walls, with brilliant tints of green, red, purple, orange and laven- der. for a time suppressed, again dis plays rainbow hues in picturing huge dragons and peacocks with green tail feathers three feet in length. The Jap anase government tobacco managers

 What was his joy to receive re- sponse-almost inaudible, indeed, but enthusiastically response!
 On his way to the office the next day he met her; he passed her in the street; he fairly brushed her dress with his sleeve.

This thought was such treason that he tried to persuade himself that he did not entertain it, and when it became too insistent he apologiZed, saying: Forgive me, dear I cannot forget the sins of that other woman"
 Secondly, his long years as A. Quint- ner, clerk, had deprived him of the powers of initiative.

"NO TROUBLE"
To Change from Coffee to Postuns.

"Postum has done a world of go0a for me-" writes an Ills. man.
 I've had indigestion nearly all my life but never dreamed coffee was the cause of my trouble until last Spring I got so bad 1 was in misery all the time.
 "A coffee thinker for 90 years, 1t frritated my stomach and nerves, yet was just crazy for it. After drinking it with my meals, I would leave the table, go out and lose my meal and the coffee too. Then I'd be as hungry as ever.
 "A friend advised me to quit coffee and use Postum-said it cured him. Since taking his advice I retain my food and get all the good out of it, and don't have those awful hungry spells
 T changed from coffee to Postum without any trouble whatever, felt better from the first day I drank it. l nBwell now and give the credit to Postm." Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich. Read the lit- tie book, "The Road to Wellyille," In pkgs. There's reason"

At Liao Yang one of the city gates is now not able chiefly because of an elaborate fretwork of small Japanese cigarette signs arranged with geometrical exact ness in serrated lines that lend a touch of color to massive dull surface.

TWO WRITERS OF BIOGRAPHY.
Johnson and Boswell Exponents Of
 Different Schools.

It is an interesting fact in the his- tory of literary genres that two of the great examples of biographical writing occur almost side by side. Less than decade separates the com pletion of Johnsons Lives of the Poets"-happily hoDored in the new edition of the late Dr Birkbeck Hill from the publication of his own life by Boswell Yet with the latter book new type of biography came into being. Johnson, in the main, had, ike most of his predecessors, fol lowed simple narrative and exposi- tory method, prefiXing a plain story of the poets life to systematic ac- count of his character and a critical estimate of his works; he gathered his facts and impressions together and spoke for the author and for him. self. Boswell, on the other hand. making use of more dramatic method, succeeded in his attempt to, let the author reveal himself, and, in- stead Of an exposition Of character, painted a picture of personality, tC' which his own comments were sub ordinate.

PHYSICIAN SAYS
Children Thrive on Grape Nuts and
 Cream.

A Mass physician has found a cure for constipation in children - citing fifteen cases-by feeding them Grape Nuts.
 Some time ago." he writes, T be- came interested in your food, Grape Nuts, as cure for constipation in children. Having tried it in my OVID family, l have advised it in fifteen cases in which all suffered with con- stipation more or less severe. The re- suit has been absolute relief in all,
 T write this that other childrep may be benefited
 How much better it is thus to bring about healthy action in the bowels of growing children by natural means, than to feed them with improper food, requiring some kind of cathartic at intervals to overcome constipation.
 GrapeNuts gives energy to the en. tire nervous system including the nerves that cause the natural con traction and relaxation of the boweI muscles, that propel the food mass along.
 It is predigested also, and the blood easily absorbs the food as it goes through the body, storing up vitality and force for the functions of all the organs.
 Children especially, should get the right start as to habits of Gyina. They should grow into bright, strong. cheerful men and women Grape-Nuts: solve the question of the start; a. wholesome appetite will do the restl
 Children's teeth are benefited bv chewing Grape-Nuts, also. Your deu ist will tell you that certain amount of exercise in chewing firm food. is necessary to grow strong, beautisps teeth.
 Teeth need exercise just the sama as muscles, if they axe 10 grow strong and firm as nature intended Grape-Nuts gives the exercise ana also gives material from which gooR teeth are made.

 One morning she went away, and the fact that she took with her a suitcase and wore a travelling dress suggested to his unpraeticed mind long stay months, perhaps. The second evening after her departure he began a love letter to her:
 My Sweetheart-For such you are, and you cannot help yourself, for, whatever your sentiments may be to- wards me, you cannot prevent my loy- Ing you. 1 cannot believe you are gone. The flowers are here yet, the sun, the stars and the birds Everything re- minds me of you. Sometimes l feel that my love for you is sheer audacity, and then l reflect that it is not only inevitable but duty; it is mere wor- ship, the tribute that the soul of man pays to the good, the true and the beautiful"
 He laid the letter aside and never finished it, for she came back the next day, having been no farther away than Annapolis.
 Shortly after her return the respon- sive rappings ceased, and A. Quintner, fearful of betraying her, did not per- l sist. He merely waited patiently.
 But on his way to the office one morning he met the servant with the with much weeping.
 Whats the matter, Annie?" he asked, 'Is Doris your mistress sick?"
 Don't you know, sir" said the girl, she has been very sick for week. The poor thing died this morning at three o'clock.

 God bless you, Annie!" sobbed A. 1 Quintner, turning away. He was never to know that the tap l ping on the wall begun as playful prank by Dorothy" and indulged in but once or twice by her, had been long continued by the servant with the un- sentimental exterior. She had only | discontinued it the week before, when her mistress had been taken sick and i had demanded her undivided attention.
 A. Quintner moved out of the neigh borhcod the next day, carrying with him the sad but radiant memory of an ideal woman, combining physical charms with beauty of soul and tender ness of sentiment.

REST THAT RESTS.

Rest means rest.
 'Cut out" worrying.
 Rest with capital R.
 Few persons know how to rest. Rushing for trains and boats isn't resting.
 Being elbowed by a vulgar mob isn't resting.
 Neither is staying home and being annoyed by endless details.
 Overdressing, overeating and too much excitement are not restful. Over Sunday rest is best accom- piished by trip to some restful place. The idea is to discover what best agrees with one and then to follow 1t as we'll as possible.
