SALLOW FACES
Often Caused by Coffee Drinking.

How many persons realize that COZ

duces a muddy, yellow complexion?
A ten days trial of Postum Food
Coffee has proven means, in thou

A Washn. young lady tells her expe-

"All of us-father, mother, sister
and brother-had used tea and coffee
for many years until finally we all
had stomach troubles more or less.
1--WE were all sallow and troubled
with pimples, breath bad, disagree

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.

madame, it surely is safer to trust this
man, who tells us that Captain Jean
sent him, than to stay here and risk
a visit from those dreadful soldiers"
1--WE dare not stay, and so we must
trust him." said Madame, with weak
attempt at resolution, as she slid

preparing to fasten.
Old Zeney had come over from
Kanauhana, having insisted upon be-

young mistress; and now she entered
the room to announce that Captain
Jean was below stairs.
Never had his arrival at the planta-
ton been so welcome as now. Mad

the various bundles be brought down

Buffers Stolen Fee.

The late Hon. Joseph Q. Hoyt, for
merly of Boston, when lad attended
a circus and his silver watch was
stolen. The supposed thief was ar
rested, and was defended by Benja-
min F. Butler, who proved he did
not take the watch, and never was
at the circus.
During the civil war Hoyt was in
troduced to Butler at dinner at the
Astor house, in New York, and the
latter remarked: This is the first
time have had the pleasure of meet
ing you"

lated the circus incident.

structions which the others did not
hear as they passed out of the house
and faced the slaves, now huddled in
to a terrified mass, with their faces
full of despairing expectancy.
Some of the women began lament
ing wildly when they found that they
were not to go away But LATTE, IN
his usual authoritative fashion quiet
ed the hubbub, and ordered Shapiro
to take them to the Colonneh, which

he himself had. so Unexpectedly, been
able to assist.
One of his own craft, commanded
by Baptistine, was lying off the Owls
Point, awaiting the signal which
would announce the coming OF LATTE,
who, bent upon private mission in
the neighborhood, had not reckoned
upon the present denouement.
But now, in view of all the circum-
stances, he considered this, the boat,
a more desirable means for conveying
the ladies directly to Shell Island,
where now were only old Scipio, Jul
niper and the boy, Nato.
Waiting therefore until he saw Sha'
pra start for the Colonneh, followed
by the now quiet slaves, LATTE, who
had meantime explained his plan to
his own charges, told them to follow
him, and set out hurriedly in an op'
posite direction from that taken by
Shapiro and his dusky retinue.
The forest was darkening with late
afternoon shadows as the fleeing par
ty followed, in comparative silence
the tall form that led them.
At length the party emerged from
the deeper shadows of their wooded
way, and came into cleared space
where the knoll known as "The Owls
Point" projected into the bayou; and
hating here, LATTE looked about him
while the others stood grouped a little
distance away, awaiting quietly his
movements.
But before he could give the sigma

CHAPTER xxx.

Less than a week later, one early
afternoon, the members of the house
hold at La Tete des Faux were start
led by the booming of cannon in the
direction of Lake Borgne.
What mad happened was this: An
English fleet, with twelve hundred
men, had, with the intention of throw
ing an attacking force across Lakes
Borgne and Pontchartain, sailed into
Lake Borgne and opened an attack up
on the Americans, whose presence
was surprise to the enemy, as Capt.
Lockyer, commanding the latter, had
understood that this point was de-
fenseless.
A fierce battle followed, resulting in
a partial victory for the English, who
were now masters of Lake Borgne
1t was the Shapiro who, late in the
afternoon, brought this news to La
Tete des Faux.
The house was soon in hustle of
preparation, the inmates packing has
lilly the few things they were to take
with them in their fight, and conceal
ing such property as would be likely
to attract thieving bands among the
enemy, who would, with little doubt,
visit the plantation, as Shapiro report

Gift to WaIla Walla College From
Puget Sound.

One. of the largest accessions to the
whitman college library for some time
was received yesterday from Puget
Sound academy, at Snohomish, says
the Walla Walla Union.
The academy has recently disband-
ed on account of a lack of funds, and
the entire library was donated to
Whitman college, largely under the
influence of the principal, William
Worthington, who is Whitman alum
nus. The books number about 1900,
and although many of them are old,
they will be a valuable addition to the
library.
The constant growth of the Whit
man library necessitates an increased
demand for more room. More al
coves have been added during the
summer, almost filling up the availa-
BILE space. The large reading tables
have been removed and smaller tables
will be installed soon.
