A Kansas City lawyer has in his
hfice a small boy who is addicted to
the whistling habit. The lawyer tries
to stop the whistling, but he is only
partially successful. The noise both
ers him greatly, but as the lad is a
GOOD office boy his employer is loath
to discharge him and gets along with
him the best he can. Monday the boy

r. Ambrose Clark, stepson of Bishop
Potter and an enthusiastic patron OF
steeplechasing and hunting, for sew
eral seasons has aroused the interest
of New York rncegoers as much by
the disregard he seems to have for his
neck and bones as for the fair amount
Of success he has had In riding In
open steeplechases. The leld-stans
idea of MI. Clark was epitomized at
Belmont Park, where the amateur
jockey got a bad fall just before the

the Bowery, remarked, Just tink Oh

It Is an old and a true reflection that
few people can stand prosperity, re-
fleets the American Cultiyator. 1t has
often been the case with those who
have endured poverty with cheerful
ness and with a light heart have be-
come morose, captious. exacting and
generally di~sagreeable when they have
accumulated riches, and have not, OF
course, increased their own sum OF
happiness thereby. Possession does
not invariably bring felicity, and men
like children, soon tire OF the bauble
for which the stretched out eager
hands, and look for something nor
dazzling to entertain them for the pass

The Only Exclamation.

One well known New York woman
has discovered, like some others Of
her sex, that It does not pay to be too
curious. One of the old family re-
tainers Is a Scotchman named VIII
liam, who does not believe In CLOSING
over the truth for the sake OF sDaring
his listeners feelings. The woman In
question, although possessed OF con.
siderable charm Of manner, is not a
beauty and knows It. Her husband,
recently deceased, was a remarkably
handsome man, and his wife was one
of his ~sincerest admirers. One day
when she was looking at her hus
bands picture on the mantei in the
sitting William was fussing
around the crate and In a moment Of
impulse she asked:
"William, what do you think made
such a handsome man as Col. 8. marry
such a plain woman as me?"
William looked from the portrait to
the speaker, meditated a second. and
answered:
Must have been Gods will, ma'am.'

The people have allowed the slow
murder Of infants and adults, by tricky
makers OF food, drink and drugs to so
on about long enough. Duty to oneself,
family and nation demands that every
man and woman join In an organized
movement to clear our people from this
blight. You may not be able to go per-
'sonally to Washington to impress your
Congressman, but you can, in O most
effective way tell him by letter how
you desire him to represent you.
Remember the Congressman Is In
Congress to represent the people from
his district and ifsa goodIy number Of
citizens express their views to him, he
secures q very sure guide to duty. Re-
member also that the. safety OF the
people is assured by insisting that the
will of the people be carried out, and
not the Vaccinations of the few for
selfish interests.
This pure food legislation Is q pure
movement of the people for public pro-
lection. 1t will be opposed only by
those who fatten their pockets by de-
ceiving and injuring the people. There
fore, If your Representative In Con-
gress eyades his patriotic duty hold him
to strict accountability and If necessary
demand equitable and honest service.
This is a very different condition than
when a faction demands class legisla-
ton of the Congressman. Several
years ago the butter interests of the
country demanded legislation to kill

Many pure food bills have been in

legislatures; many have been offered
ito Congress, but all thus far seem OBJ
j~Lctionable.
1t has seemed difficult for politicians
to formulate a satisfactory bill that
would protect the common people and
vet avoid harm to honest makers and
prevent endless trouble to retailers. No
government commission or officer has
the right to fix food standards" to de-
fine what the people shall and shall pot
eat, for what agrees with n may not
agree with another and such act would
deprive. the common citizen of his per-
sonal liberty. The Postum Cereal Co..

The retailer of responsibility Of the
truth of the statement and throws 1t
upon the maker, where it properly be-
