Fine Old Netherlands Repartee,

One Barend Vet of The Hague had
recently the misfortune to call a con-
stable monkey, an accusation which
one OF the local papers pointed out
as being, of course, untrue" ami
which, moreover is a form of untruth
not permitted in Holland. Vet was ar
rested and brought before the Judge
On a charge of insulting the police"
being sentenced to As days imprison-
ment. Before being removed he turned
to address the court Then | mustn't
call constable a monkey?" he said.
Certainly not; you must not insult
the police" The culprit reflected.
MAY l call monkey a constable?"
he asked, with a flash or genius. The
judge shrugged his houlders, and.
holding no brief for the animal re.
piled: IF it gives you any satisfac-
ton" With a smile of qualification
Vet turned on his heel in the dock
and bowed to his prosecutor Good
day, constable" he said.-St. James's
Gazette.

OF the same character. Inside is
placed mass of refractory sub

is recommended as a resistance ma

The whole interior of the stove can
be kept red hot. and it is anticipated
that the running cost for cooking
through the day will not be excess

weeks and almost ending my life.

death to relieve me from my suffer-

ache, and began to suffer from ca
tarrh of the stomach, and of course
awful dyspepsia.

was the cause of all this suffering,
finally quit 1t and began to use
Postum Food Coffee. 1t agreed
with my stomach, my troubles have
