SHORT CRy TO COL UMBUS

"Oh, that is a matter of tradition"
said the man who had been doubling
every statement made in the course
OF the luncheon, "and a story passes
through too many people to be reli-
able when you get it couple of hun
dred years late"
"Tradition!" said another man, "are
you aware how few lives it takes to
bridge over the centuries? For in
stance, the discovery of America
seems a long time ago, and I suppose
traditions concerning Columbus and
his crowd you would consider of no
reliability; yet, do you know, that
only four lives intervene between me
hnd sailor of Christopher Columbus?
Yes, sir, am in possession of story
told by sailor of the Santa Maria,
which passed through only four peo-
pie before it got to me, and yet it
Hpanned the centuries from 1892 to
the present time. The story was told
me by Christopher Harmsworth, who
died in 1885, at the age of 95-a clear
headed old man with an excellent
memory, especially for things he had
learned In youth-lil1e most old peo-
pie.
Now, Harmsworth was born, of
course, in 1890, and when he was
boy 10 years old, in England-that is,
In the year 1S00-his great-grand-
father, then a man of So, used to take
him on his knee and tell the story to
him. The great-grandfather. as you
VIII see, must have been born in 1715.

And the great-grandfather used to tell
my friend Harmsworth that the Co.
lumbus story had been told to him
when he was boy OF 9-that is in the
year 1724-by an aged great-uncle Of
his who was nearly hundred at the
time, having been born in 1924. This
great-uncle used to tell Harmsworth's 8
great-grandfather that he had first
heard the story when he was about 10
years old from the lips of one Will
liam Sutcliffe, a retired sailor, who
was then in his 9Sth year, having been
born in 1886. Sutcliffe went to sea
when he was boy of II, shipping as
cabin boy in brig bound for Vigo,
Spain. and there he fell in with an old
sailor, 72 years of age, one Marco
Guzman, who, as lad of 16. had
sailed with Columbus to discover the
new world. And Marco, the sailor,
told Sutliffe the story.
$50 you see, from the lips Of that
sailor Of the Santa Maria to my ears
the story came through only four per-
sons-Sutcliffe, the great-uncle, the
great-grandfather and my friend
Harmsworth. A few years ago. when
Harmswor.l was living, he could have
said that between him and sailor of
Columbus only three lives intervened.
So, you see, after all tradition is a
thing not to be lightly disregarded."
And what was tho story?" asked
one of the party.
"Oh, I have forgotten Just how 1t
went now" said the statistician.

HIS FAITHFUL DOG.
Waits Day and Night for His Mas
ter.

10y
A brown collie dog which showed
considerable intelligence and much de-
yotion to his master was the center OF
attraction among attaches of the city
hall Yesterday, says the Denver Rel
publican, and when it's story became
known the faithful animal held YER
table reception at the entrance to-
Mayor Speer's office.
l.. r. johnson paid a visit to the jail
at the city hall on Tuesday on a mat
ter of business, accompanied by his
dog, and later went up to the first
floor of the city hall to call on one OF
the taXeasters. The dog busted himseltl
with satisfying his curiosity concern
ing the sights to be seen at the seati
of the city government, and in theI
furry of the moment lost track of hisl
master, who had in the meantime de-
parted, thinking his pet had gone into
the street.
All day long the dog stood at the
spot where he had last seen his mas>v
ter, but no one paid any attention to-
him. The porters and tanitors and
elevator man coaxed him and cajoled1
him to leave the building at night, but
the canine refused to bulge and
there he stood all night.
He frisked his tail and looked with
friendly eyes on Colonel John S. Irby,
the mayors secretary, yesterday MORN
ing, when the latter came to work,
but preferred to stay out in the corrt-i
dor when invited into the sanctum.
All day long he wistfully watched
the front door, looking for the reap
pearance of Mr.. johnson. No one paid
much attention to him until the eleva-
tor operator began telling how the dog
refused to move from the place where
he alternately lay down and paced
slowly back and forth. Finally some
body got the dog something to eat and
drink. Neither would tha animal
touch.
About 4 o'clock in the afternoon
callers in Mayor Speer's Office and
nearby city employees heard a glad
some chorus of barks and yelps and
saw a dog shoot like streak toward
the front doors of the hall. L. R
Johnson had come back for his dog. y

Please remember we never say or
binary coffee hurts everyone.
Some people use it regularly and
seem strong enough to withstand it's
attacks, but there is misery and dis
ease in store for the man or woman
who persists in its use when nature

weak eyes or general nervous prostra-
tion. The remedy is obvious. Tho

coffee, must be discontinued absolute.

OF any medicine and will grow worse,
1t is easy to leave off the old-fash-

ing to rich golden brown when good

Moscow.-The Russkoe Slovo has
received sensational telegram from
its correspondent at Hardin, Man

Chinese, influenced by Japanese, are

The Coffee Debate.

Der of coffee importers and roasters
indicate 'Awaspy" feeling towards us
for daring TO say that coffee is harm

certainly do no harm; on the contrary

We make the assertion advisedly
and suggest that the reader secure his
own proof by personal inquiry among
coffee users.
Ask your coffee drinking friends If
they keep free from any sort of aches

seek to place the cause of disorder on
something aside from coffee, whether
food, inherited tendencies or some
thing else.

that wager.
Free inspection of our factories and
methods Is made by thousands of peo-
pie each month and the coffee import
ers themselves are cordially invited.
Both Postum and Grape-Nuts are abso-
lutely pure and made exactly as stated.
The formula of Postum and the an
alysis made by one of the foremost
chemists Of Boston has been printed
on every package for many years and
is absolutely accurate.
Now as to the food value of Postum.
1t contains the parts of the wheat ber-
ry which carry the elemental salts.
such as lime, iron, potash, silica. etc.
etc., used by the life forces to rebuild
the cellular tissue, and this is particu-
larly true of tho phosphate of potash.

bines in the human body with albu-

Ordinary coffee stimulates in an un-
natural way, but with many people it
slowly and surely destroys and does
not rebuild this gray substance so
vitaliy important tS the well being of
every human being.
Ihese are eternal facts, proven, well
authenticated and known to every

We demand facts in this coffee dis
cussion and propose to see that the
facts are brought clearly before the
people.
A number Of coffee importers and
roasters have Joined a movement to
boom coffee and stop the use of Pos
tum Food Coffee and in their newspa-
per statements undertake to deceive
by false assertions.
Their first is that coffee is not harm
full.
We assert that one in every three
coffee users has some form of incipi-

and says II can't quit" you will have
discovered one of the slaves of the cof-
fee importer. Treat such kindly, for
they seem absolutely powerless to stop
the gradual but sure destruction of
body and health.
Nature has a way of destroying a
part Of the people to make room for
the stronger. 1t is the old law of "the
survival of the fittest" at work, and
the victims are many.
We repeat the assertion that coffee
does harm many people, not all, but
an army large enough to appal the in
vestigator and searcher for facts.
The next prevarication of the coffee
importers and roasters is their state
ment that Postum Food Coffee is made
of roasted peas, beans or corn, and
mixed with a low grade of coffee and
that it contains no nourishment.
