All He Knew OF Henry Clay.

A distinguished foreigner was being
shown through the Capitol by an
American friend, and the two gentle
men, having spent some time in the
gallery, passed through the Senate
lobby, where the portraits of the two
great statesmen, Daniel Webster and
Henry Clay, hang opposite each other.
The guide pointed out these paintings,
saying, And here you see the por-
traits of some of our great statesmen
Of the past"
'Ah, indeed" remarked the distin-
guished foreigner, admiring Webster's
solemn likness, and then, turning
around to Henry Clay, he exclaimed,
with astonishment in his voice, But
how do you get the picture of this
cigarman here?"

A PERFECT HAND.
How Its Appearance Became Familiar
to the Public.

to the Public.
The story of how probably the
most perfect feminine hand in Ameri-
ca became known to the people is
rather interesting.
AS the story goes the possessor OF
the hand was with some friends in a
photographers one day and while
talking, held up a piece of candy.
The pose of the hand with it's per-
feet contour and faultless shape at
tracted the attention of the artist who
proposed TO photograph II. The re-
suit was beautiful picture kept in
the family until one day, after read
ing letter from someone inquiring
as to who wrote the Postum and
Grape-Nuts advertisements. Mr.. Post
said to his wife, We receive so
many inquiries of this kind, that il is
evident some people are curious
to know, suppose we let the advertis-
tising department have that picture
of your hand to print and name It "A
Helping Hand" (Mrs. Post has as
sisted him in preparation of some of
the most famous advertisements).
There was natural shrinking
from the publicity, but with an agree
ment that no name would accompany
the picture its use was granted.
The case was presented in the light
OF extending a welcoming hand to the
friends Of Postum and Grape Nuts,
SO the picture appeared on the back
covers of many of the January and
February magazines and became
known TO millions of people.
Many artists have commented upon
II as probably the most perfect hand
In the world.
The advertising dept. OF the Post
um Co. did not seem able to resist the
temptation to enlist the curiosity OF
the public. by refraining from giving
the name OF the owner when the pic
ture appeared but stated that the
name would be given later in one of
the newspaper announcements. thus
seeking TO induce the readers TO look
for and read the forthcoming adyer
tisements 10 learn the name OF the
owner.
This combination of art and COM
merce and the multitude OF inquiries
furnishes an excellent illustration Of
the interest the public takes in the
personal and family life OF large
manufacturers whose names become
hol hold words through extensive
and continuous announcements in
newspapers and periodicals.

EMPRESS OPPOSED TO CHANGE.
Chinese Soldiers VIII Wear Queues
While Ruler Lives.


According to the new Chinese mill
'ary laws. in all the army. from the
commander to the private, new uni
orm is introduced, but the question Of
he queue presents great difficulties.
Many of the soldiers of the Pei-yane
army have already shortened their
queues by two-thirds. However, the
Lian-ping-chu (the chief military adj
ministration), although 1t has several
times discussed this question, has not
as yet permitted the soldiers to cut
off the remainder of their queues.
Even Prince Ching does not venture
10 address the Empress Dowager with
a report about this matter. Just few
days ago he asked the head eunuch,
Li-lien-ying, to choose suitable oc-
casion, as IL unintentionally, to find
out from the Empress Dowager her
opinion on the question. And so, at
a time when the Empress Dowager
was resting and was hearing the read
ing of the newspaper, the head
eunuch made up his mind to tell her
that all the papers now state that dur
ing war time the queue would be a
great inconvenience to the soldiers,
and on this account would 1t not be
better to cut them off.
He had hardly finished his words
when the Empress Dowager, full OF
~rath in her face, answered sharply.
Wait till | die, then you can cut off
your queues!"
The head eunuch, OF course did not
reply to such an answer; and from
that time no one has dared to raise
the question of abolishing the queue.

DIED SUDDENLY
OF HEART DISEASE.

How frequently does head line SINH

papers. The rush, push and strenuous
ness of the American people has strong
tendency to lead up to valvular and other
affections of the heart, attended by ir.
regular action, palpitation, dizziness,
smothered sensations and other distress
ing symptoms.
Three OF the prominent ingredients Of
which DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery is made are recommended by some
of the leading writers on Udterid Medicd
for the cure OF Just such cases. Golden

follows that IL must be greatly strength
