ONE WAY OUT OF DIFFICULTY.
Match Twins with Twins, Was the
Fond Mothers Idea.

A little woman entered a drug store
and asked the proprietor If he had IAN
other picture"
What kind Of a picture do you
mean?" the druggist asked.
"One like this" said the woman,
holding up an attractive advertising
print.
II may have one or two of them
left" the proprietor said, but l
haven't many of them"
The woman said she only wanted
one, and her tone indicated that she
was anxious for that one. She ex
planned that the one she had with her
had been given to one of her children.
Another child, she stated, was sick,
and was crying for a picture such as
his brother had.
That's a bad way to bring up your
children" ventured a woman customer
In the store. do you try to give a
child everything he cries for just be-
cause his brother is more f%ortunate?'
But" said the mother of the chill
dren, you don't know. The children
are twins and what n has the other
wants"
Suppose" objected the moralist,
when your children get older, they
fall in love with the same girl, what
will they do?"
But the mother was ready. She
promptly replied:
Find twins and fall in love with
them"

EARLY NORTHWEST VOYAGES.
Some Account of the Arctic Trips
That Have Been Made.

Beginning with the American dis
coveries of John Cabot in 1897, tho
search for the northwest passage was
for many years the object of rival ex-
petitions from Denmark, England,
France and Portugal, says A. W.
Greedy, in the Century. It was Frobish-
er, however, who in 1858 first gave
a distinct national character to the
quest. John Davis Of Davis strait,
followed in three voyages, 1858, and
then, in 1912, came the illustrious and
hapless Henry Hudson, whose motto
was that explorers should achieve
what they had undertaken or else give
reasons wherefore it will not be-"
The search for the Atlantic side
closed for two centuries with the voy-

The revelations regarding fraudu-

DREADED TO EAT.
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to eat their
meals, although actually hungry ear
,ly all the time!
Nature never intended this should
be so, for we are given a thing called
appetite that should guide Us as to
what the system needs at any time
and can digest.
But we get in a hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace, and our sense Of appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted.
Then we eat the wrong kind of food
or eat too much, and there you are
Indigestion and its accompanying
miseries.
A Phila. lady said, the other day:
my husband and I have been sick
and nervous for Is or 20 years from
drinking coffee-feverish, indigestion,
totally unfit, a good part Of the time,
for work or pleasure. We actually
dreaded to eat our meals.
"We tried doctors and patent medi-
cines that counted up into hundreds of
dollars, with little If any benefit.
~"Accidentlly, a small package of
Postum came into my hands. ! made
some according to directions, with sur
prising results. We both liked 1t and
have not used any coffee since.
THE dull feeling after meals has
left us and we feel better every way.
We are SO well satisfied with Postum
that we recommend it to u friends
who have been made sick and nervous
and miserable by coffee" Name given

in the house now reaches 1853. One of
these provides that all railroad COM

By a change Of one vote on the roll
call, the bill making county school SUI
pervision general instead Of optional,
as it has been since 1878, secured just
votes enough to pass the house Thurs
day afternoon. An earnest fight was
made on both sides, the discussion con-
tinuing a couple of hours or longer,
and Representative Swiers, one of the
friends of the bill, said it's opponents
were justifying their opposition be
cause there was a local option super
vision law now, and that they were
using this local option feature to pave
the way for securing a local option
vote on Sunday opening Of saloons In
st. Louis.
The house Thursday passed, with
out debate, the Simmons primary cleo
ton bill, the affirmative vote being

Fire Record for Last Year.

The fact that when a servant be-
comes master a cruel foe is suddenly
developed is attested by the dreadful
havoc and loss Of life occasioned by
fire in the United States within the
IL months covered by a summing up
of these losses for 1906. This record
shows that nearly 1000 lives were
lost and more than $4,000 900 worth
Of property was destroyed by fire dur
ing that period. In no other country
in the world is the fire loss, in bulk
or pro rata, anywhere near our own.
Last year, owing to the devastating
fire that followed the earthquake in
San Francisco, this loss was in great
excess of the average, but the average
for some years past has been $780,
900, 900 q year.
