"A neighbor of mine, q great coffee

She was not able to do her work and

pains that she would have to lie down
for the rest Of the day.

drinking coffee and try Postum Food
Coffee and she did 80 and has used
Postum ever since; the result has been

SPAIN FAR BEHIND NATIONS.
IIIiteraey Prevails There to a Most
Amazing Extent.

OF the 100000 people inhabiting
Spain, only about 35 per cent. can
read and write; another two and one
half per cent. Of the population can
read without being able to write, but
the remaining 62h per cent are abb
solute illiterates. In the south of
Spain 1t is impossible to get a serv-
ant who can read and write, and
many Of the postmen are unable to
tell to whom the letters they carry
are addressed. They bring a bum
die Of letters to a house and the
owner looks through them and takes
those which are Cor which he thinks
are) addressed to him. The Spanish
postmen are not paid by the state;
the recipient Of the letters have to
remunerate them according to the
amount of their correspondence, and
each letter costs the addressee at
least one cent. 1t Is joke among
the easy-going Spaniards that he who
treats the postmen best receives the
most letters-whether they are in
tended for him or not.

Always In the Way.

Recently a country doctor in the
north Of Ireland. bachelor, who was
locally noted for his brusqueness and
irascibility, was driving along a nor.
row lane. or "boreen," when his pas.
sage was effectually barred by an old
woman, who was returning from the
bog leading an ass whose panniers
were filed with peats. The woman
led the ass to the side Of the lane as
quickly as she could. but not quickly
enough to please the short-tempered
doctor. "Faugh!" he exclaimed. with
a snort of disgust. Women and asses
are always in the way" I'm glad ye

Mother and Two Daughters Drown.

Durango, Colo.-Mrs. Francisco
Marquez and her two daughters. aged
twelve and six, we're drowned in the
San Juan river. five miles below Arbo-
les in Archuleta county August 4th.
According to information received
here they were attempting to ford the
stream in a wagon. Not being familiar
with the ford the woman drove to one
side. The wheel went into hole and
the wagon was overturned, precipita-
ting the occupants into the raging tor
rent. The cries of the mother and
children brought several men to the
banks Of the river, but owing to the
swiftness Of the stream they were
helpless to save them.
Mrs. Marquee lived at Rosa, New
Mexico. where the husband is a prom
inent merchant. The husband and
father is heartbroken.
Mrs. Marquez's body was recovered
but the bodies OF the two girls have
not been found. It is probable that the
bodies will never be recovered.

II faith has anything to do with
church building, the future historian
will characterize the present as an
age of remarkable belief in higher
things, for at no time in the past
were SO many splendid churches
building or planning. The Roman
Catholics of London have got their
beautiful cathedral SO far advanced
that they are using it. The Protes-
tant Episcopalians are at work on a
cathedral in New York which, when
completed, will rank with the great
churches of the world, and plans
have lately been accepted for a ca.
thedral in Washington, for the same
church, which will be only little
smaller than the one in New York.
The German emperor has built in Ber-
lin a "domed church." as 1t is called,
that is fine example of ecclesias-
tical architecture. There are hun
dreds OF smaller churches going up
all the time; but It is the great stone
structures intended to last for CEN
turtles that will reveal to the future
generations the religious spirit Of the
present.

! Tho United States is justly suffer

This sad fact is amply sustained by

chinery positive necessity of mod

tions be understood, and the public
conscience aroused SO that proper
remedies may be applied for at the

these times Of peace to keep abreast
of the enlightened humane countries
of the world, but go on killing every

ENORMOUS fine.
STANDARD OIL COMPANY GETS
THE LIMIT IN COURT.
MUST PAY s2s,24o, 600 FINE
Heaviest Ever Assessed Against Any
individual or Corporation In the
History Of America.

VI NUtSttSos
Chicago.-Judge Kenesaw M. Lam
dis in the United States District Court
fined the Standard OIL Company Of In
diana $29,240.000 for violations of the
law against accepting rebates from
railroads.
The fine Is the largest ever assessed
against any individual or corporation
in the history of American jurisprud-
ence. and is slightly more than 1S1
times as great as the amount received
by the company through its rebating
operations. The case will be carried
to the higher courts by the defendant
company.
The penalty imposed upon the COM
pany Is the maximum permitted under
the law, and was announced at the end
Of long opinion, in which the meth
DDS and practices of the Standard
Oil Company were mercilessly scored.
The Judge. in fact, declared that the
officials of the Standard Oil Company
who were responsible for the prac-
tices of which the corporation was
found guilty were no better than
counterfeiters and thieves, his exact
language being:
I'VE may as well look at his situa-
tion squarely. The men who thus de-
liberately violate this law wound So
ciety more deeply than does he who
counterfeits the coil or steals letters
from the mail. The nominal defend
ant Is the Standard Oil Company Of
Indiana, a $1,00O,000 corporation.
"The Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey, whose capital is 100000. 900,
Is the real defendant. This Is for the
reason that II a body of men organ
lie large corporation under the laws
Of one state for the purpose Of carry
ing on business throughout the United
States, and for the accomplishment of
that purpose absorb the stock of other
corporations. such corporations SO
absorbed have thcnceforward but a
nominal existence.
"They cannot initiate or execute any
inherent business policy. their elimi-
nation in this respect being a prime
consideration for their absorption. So
when, after this process has taken
place, a crime is committed in the
name Of such smaller corporation, the
law will not consider that the larger
corporation is the real offender.
And where the only possible mo-
tive Of the crime Is the enhancement
of dividends, and the only punishment
authorized is fine. great caution
must be exercised by the court lest
the fixing of a small amount encourage
the defendant to further violations by
esteeming the penalty to be In the ma
ture Of license"
