UP AGAINST AN UNKNOWN.
How the Greatest Pugilist Was Van
pushed Without a Blow
Being Struck.

The worlds greatest pugilist crawled be-
tween the ropes into the arena.
He was a man Of most magnificent mus
cular development, relates the Houston
Post.
The muscles could be seen crawling and
punching under his satiny skin like a fist
full of fishworms or a nest OF kittens.
The audience cheered wildly and was
then silent.
The pugilist looked over their heads
haughtily.
He swigged out a bottle and spat CO.
piously.
He had posted a forfeit of 81 $1,000 to
meet all corners without regard to weight,
age, sex or previous condition of servi-
tude.
His def had been Immediately covered,
the only condition being that the iden-
tity of his proposed antagonist was to be
kept a dark secret until the moment of
battle.
Now the crowd was waiting.
From the ~dressing-room on the right
comes a slight form wrapped in a kimono,
the head being entirely hidden by a heavy
veil.
The pugilist sneers.
The crowd snorts.
At last the principals are in the middle
Of the squared circle.
With a deft movement the unknown I'M
masks.
1t is a little gimlet-eyed female, with a
wad of hair at the back of her head and
an aggressive chin on the lower end Of
her face.
With a curse of dismay the great pugilist
tears a side out of the pavilion in get
ting away.
When the excitement has in a measure
died down the referee steps to the SIDE
of the ring and introduces to the expectant
multitude the pugilist's wife's mother.

BABY COVERED WITH SORES.
Would Scratch and Tear the Flesh I'm
less Hands Were Tied-"Would
Fave Died But for Cuticura."

"My little son, when about a year and
Q half old, began to have sores come out
on his face. [ had a physician treat him,
but the sores grew worse. Then they be-
gan to come on his arms, then on other
parts of his body, and then one came on
his chest, worse than the others. Then
l called another physician. Still he
grew worse. At the end of about a year
and a half of suffering he grew so bad
I had to tie his hands in cloths at night
to keep him from scratching the sores
and tearing the flesh. He got to be a
mere skeleton, and was hardly able to
walk. My Aunt advised me to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment. l sent to the
drug store and got a cake of the Soap and
a box of the Ointment, and at the end of
about two months the sores were all well.
He has never had any sores of any kind
since. He is now strong and healthy,
and l can sincerely say that only for your
most wonderful remedies my precious child
would have died from those terrible sores.

OVER SEA HABIT.
Difference on This Side the Water.

The persistent effect upon the heart
of caffeine in coffee cannot but result
In the gravest conditions, in time.
Each attack of the drug (and that
means each cup of %coffee) weakens the
organ a little more, and the end is al
most a matter of mathematical demon
stration. A lady writes from a West
ern state:
81 am of German descent and it was
natural that / should learn at a very
early age to drink coffee. Until / was
% years old l drank scarcely anything
else at my meals.
ga few years ago l began to be af-
fected by a steadily increasing nerv-
BUSINESS, which eventually developed
into a distressing heart trouble that
made me very weak and miserable.
Then, some three years ago, was added
asthma in it's worst form. My suffer-
ings from these things can be better
imagined than described.
During all this time my husband
realized more fully than l did that cof-
fee was injurious to me, and made
every effort to make me stop.
FINALLY it was decided a few months
ago to quit the use of coffee absolute
ly, and to adopt Postum Food Coffee
as our hot table drink. / had but little
idea that it would help me-, but con-
scented to try it to please my husband.
/ prepared it very carefully, exactly
according to directions, and was de-
lighted with its delicious flavor and
refreshing qualities.
"Just SO soon as the poison from the
coffee had time to get out of my sys-
tenn the nutritive properties of the
Postum began to build me up, and !
am now fully recovered from all my
nervousness, heart trouble and asthma.
I gladly acknowledge that now, for the
first time in years, / enjoy perfect
health, and that l owe it all to Pos
tum." Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Greek, Mich.
There's a reason. Read the little
book, "The Road to MELVILLE" in

RUMORED OF

Prince Louis of Battenberg has an
ing paid a dentist $1,000 for the filling
of four teeth. He is a printer and
can set up his 1000 ems in very good
time.
Princess Ena of Battenberg, who is
reported to be engaged to the king of
Spain, is the only royal child born in
Scotland for more than 300 years
that is, since the birth Of Charles l..
in 1000.
Queen Aanarolo of Madagascar has
recently realized a long-cherished am
bition by paying a visit to Paris.
While there she enjoyed the felicity of
having her allowance increased from
$4,000 to $4,000.
Among the celebrations connected
with the name day., of Francis Jo-
seph, of Austria, is the giving of
money to servants long in the service
of one family. Eleven women received
$3.50 each, and the others $41.50.
King Carlos of Portugal, an artist Of
considerable ability, usually sends his
paintings as gifts. One recently pre-
scented to the king of Italy is so exc
cuted hat in one position it represents
q sunrise On the sea, but, if turned
around, becomes a sunset on the plain.
Queen Maud of Norway will need
little tuition in the speech of her new
realm, for she took to the Danish Ian
guage with instructive ease during her
girlnood. The differences between the
two languages, both in vocabulary and
pronunciation, are principally dialec-
tic.
The German empress, in addition to
Jewels worth 100000 that are her
own private property, has the right to
use the splendid collection of gems
that belong to the Prussian treasury.
The empress is thus able to sometimes
appear at court wearing jewelry vaued
at $1,250,00O.

you are unable to quietly and calmly
perform your daily tasks or care for
your children.
The relation of the nerves and gen.
erative organs in is SO close
that nine-tenths of the nervous pros
t~ration, nervous debility, the blues,
~sleeplessness and nervous ~irritability
arise from some arrangement of the
organism which makes her a woman.
Fits of depression or restlessness and
irritability ; spirits easily affected, so
that one minute she laughs, the next
minute weeps; pain in the abdominal
region and between the shoulders;
loss of voice; nervous dyspepsia; a
tendency to cry at the least provoca-

With a cry Moses let the roll fall
from his hand. A mist came before
his eyes and he felt his heart sink
within. him, for as he read the words
the thought of the Princess Mother and
her plans for him came crowding in
upon him. Not for an instant did his
noble purpose to walk with God waver;
not a shadow of doubt crossed his mind
as to the certainty of the fulfllment
of Gods words which he had just read:
but oh! the agony Of the realization
of the separation which was so surely
coming.
Suddenly he became conscious of .
tug at his robe, and looking down he
saw Ammihud feebly trying to gain
his attention. A smile was on his face
and his lips were still moving. He
stopped low and caught the words:
God will surely visit you, and bring
you out of this land unto the land
which He sware to Abraham. to Isaac
and to Jacob"
And then summoning all his strength
he raised himself upon his elbow and
Selling Moses hand in his, whispered
with intense yearning: And you will
lead them?"
His eyes closed, his head fell forward
upon his chest. and al Moses laid him
back upon his couch. he realized that
the spirit Of Ammihud had fed. Bow.
ing his head he repeated, r~everently:
Surely God hath visited us, and the
spirit Of our brother goeth on before
us into Canaan"
