mansfeld's Rebuke.

A group of theatrical men were talk. ing In New York about the late Rich. ard Mansfield
 "Mr. Mansfield" said one, was a de- lightful humoroist, a splendid racon- teur in society. but at the same time he had a certain proper and becoming sense of his own dignity, and it never paid to be unduly familiar with him.
 He was, as We all know, rather bald. He resented. from barbers. or friends. any allusion to his badness.
 Well, one night at party, a man came up behind this great artist, stag gered him with a violent slap on the back. and exclaimed in a loud, ioyial, familiar voice.
 Hello, Dick How are you? Every time I see you, you get balder and balder.'
 Mansfield drew himself up. He sneered at the other.
 Hello he said. I don't know who yo'' are. but every time l see you you get ruder and ruder.'"

 The same friend happened to be on the train with him, years after ward. when he was travelling to the second ceremony. T am going 10 mar " my brother George" the bishop explained. benignly, after the business Of greeting was over Again many years passed, and the same journey was taken once more for the same purpose. By a strange coincidence, the identical friend ran into the bish- op as they hurried through the depot to their respective trains. Where go- ing bishop?" the former sang out as they grasped hands and dashed by each other.
 T am going where I am always go- ing" the answer came back, ponder ously, ito marry my brother George!" -Earper's Weekly.

HER BEST FRIEND"
4 Woman Thus Speaks of Postum

We usually consider our best friends those who treat us best.
 Some persons think coffee a real friend, but watch it carefully awhile and observe that 1t is one of the meanest of all enemies for it stabs one while protesting friendship.
 Coffee contains a poisonous drug caffeine-which injures the delicate nervous system and frequently sets up disease in one or more organs of the body, if its use Is persisted in.
 T had heart palpitation and nerv- ousness for four years and the doctor told me the trouble was caused by coffee. He advised me to leave it of, but I thought I could not" writes Wis. lady.
 On the advice of a friend I tried Postum Food Coffee and it so satis- fled me that l did not care for coffee after a few days trial of Postum.
 As weeks went by and I continued to use Postum my weight increased from 9S to l1S pounds, and the heart trouble left me. l have used it a year
  now. and am stronger than ever was. l can hustle up stairs without any heart palpitation. and l am cured of nervousness.
 My children are very fond of Post. um and it agrees with them. My sis ter liked it when she drank 1t at my house, but not when she made it at her own horne. Now she has learned 10 make it right. boil it according to directions, and has become very fond Of 1t. You may use my name if you wish, as l am not ashamed of praising my best friend-Postum."

REALLY A GREAT LADY.
Tribute to Life and Character Of Lady
Burdett-coutts.


Lady Burdett-Coutts was one Of the
very few women who in a restless,
chattertng society knew how to talk
and to listen. says an English writer.
To know her was a liberal education.
The daughter OF Sir Francis Burdett
had naturally seen and conversed with
the giants Of the reform-bill days and
met everybody worth meeting for 80
years. Her memory was so good, her
sympathy SO universal and her man
ner OF expression SO happy that con-
versation with Lady Burdett-Coutts
was like reading delightful chapter
Of memoirs. A young member OF
parliament once asked her what was
the meaning Of the expression which
he had come across in Disraeli's
novels tApt members used to dine
out In their boots" 1T means" said
the old lady, with her exquisite cour-
tesy, that they used to dine away
from the house and dine with me
without dressing, as l hope you will
do whenever you can" Judged by
modern standards erected by German
and American milIionaires Lady bur
dett-Coutts was not so very rich, but.
then, in proportion to her means she
gave away ten times as much.
