Took Him at His Word.

From the Providence Journal.
THE late Bishop Thomas Frederick
Davies of Detroit" said a Detroit man.
"once told me an interesting story of an
elopement. He figured in this elopement
as the officiating clergyman. 1t was in
Philadelphia. during his rectorship of ST.
Peters.
1T seems that the proprietor of one of
the largest dry goods houses in Phila-
delphia had noticed for some months the
melancholy attitude of his head clerk, a
young man whom he held in high regard.
The clerks pallor and increasing Lean
ness, his frequent signs and absentmind-
dncsS, worried the millionaire PROPRIETOR.
He questioned the young mar daily. And
finally the clerk admitted that he was in
Well said the head. marry her. Your
salary is big enough
An said the clerk, sadly, you don't
understand. She belongs to one of the
first families of Philadelphia, and her
father is a millionaire

ried. You have a good position and a good
name. You are Il fair match for any girl

It's no USE sighed the clerk. Her
parents would not listen to me for one
moment
Then, said the head, 'elope with her

excitcdly.

Yes She will be at your dance at

And he did. The next night DR.. Davies
performed the ceremony, and an hour or
two later the millionaire found his daush-
ter missing and was telegraphing in every
direction to the young couple to come
home and all would be forgiven"

Coffee has proven a means, in thou

A Washn. young lady tells her expe-

for many years until finally we all
had stomach troubles more or less.

the cause of the trouble until one day
we ran out OF coffee and went to Dor.

us some Postum and told us to try
that.
although we started to make 1t,
we all felt sure we would be sick II
