Whatever the case In the recent past,
the second highest Office In the nation
ID not now to be considered a hating
place on the road to oblivion. Three
times within less than half a century
the vice president has been called 70
the executive chair by the death OF the
president. SO important has the ques-
ton Of succession become that a few
years ago congress passed a law pro-
vidlng for the succession through sew
eral grades OF officials.
Before the war good presidential
timber was not too good to take the
second place. John Adams and Van
Buren, held the Office OF vice president.
vice President Breckenridge who was
elected to the second place in 1856, was
the presidential candidate Of his party
four years later. Sometimes the selec-
tion Of candidate for the second
place has not been of the highest inn
pOrtance politically. In Llneoln's sec
ond canvass and In both the Grant
campaigns the head Of the ticket was
strong enough to run alone. But this

line In close election must be a man
fully the equal Of his chief in point Of
ability. Looking forward TO 1908, the

Fuentes Had 2 Straioht Tip.

That American actors are not the only stage heroes is proven by the following anecdote of the recent earth Cuake in Mexico City: Luckily the principal theater was empty, the play Socrs and players were gone, when the shock came. Not so at the Arbeu. There the performance was in full blast The lights in the theater went cut. For a moment there was silence Then was felt the shock. Panic-strick- en cries went up from all portions of the house.
 The situation was critical. In case the audience attempted to leave the house hundreds would be killed in the melee. Fuentes, the leading actor, was equal to the emergency. With re- markable promptitude and self-posses- sion he advanced to the front of the stage and while the building was rock ing, assured the audience that the shock would soon be over and that there was not the slightest danger. Just where Fuentes got the tip that the thing wouldn't last long and would not be violent he did not divulge, but the audience voted him trump and kept it's seats till the thing was over.

WAS NOT ALL ETIQUETTE.
Minister Tucker Had Reasons of His
 Own for Remaining Standing.

When the Hon. Beverly Tucker, minister to the Court of St. James, was presented to Queen Victoria she indicated that he be seated by that slight motion of her plump hand which all England obeyed Tucker was portly and heavy, and the only availa ble chair was fragile and small. He appeared not to notice the invita- ton. A moment later it was repeat ed, for even at that first interview be- gan the queens liking for Minister Tucker, which ripened into such an intimate friendship as no other Amer ican ever enjoyed with her majesty. Still, the weakness of things terreS- trial was more potent than the finger of Victoria, and Tucker again ignored the command. Then the queen put it in words, when Tucker, with a pro- found bow, replied:
 Your majesty, l never sit in the presence of royalty
 T accept the compliment at your hands, replied the queen; and new you must accept comfort at mine"
 Comfort" exclaimed Mir Tucker "Why, l should break both my back and your majesty's chair if l attempt ed to sit on t!"-Lippincott's

 l. How have you been affected by coffee drinking and by changing from coffee to Postum.
 9 Give name and account of one or more coffee drinkers who have been hurt by it and have been induced to cult and use POstum.
 3. Do you know any one who has been driven away from Postum be- cause it came to the table weak ard characterless at the first trial?
 4. Did you set such a person right regarding the easy way to make it clear, black, and with a snappy, rich taste?
 ,. Have you ever found a better way to make it than to use four heap ing teaspoonfuls to the pint of water, let stand on stove until real boiling begins, and beginning at that time when actual boiling starts, boil full 15 minutes more to extract the flavor and food value. GA piece of butter the size of pea will prevent boiling overr This contest is confined to those who have used Postum prior to the date of this advertisement.
 Be honest and truthful, don't write poetry or fanciful letters, just plain, truthful statements.
 Contest will close June 1st, 1907, and no letters received after that date will be admitted Examinations of letters will be made by three judges, not members of the POstum Cereal Co. Ltd. Their decisions will be fair and final, and a neat little box con- taining a $10 gold piece sent to each of the five writers of the most inter- esting letters, a box containing S5 gold piece to each of the 20 next best, a S2 greenback to each of the 100 next best, and a $1 greenback to each of the 200 next best, making cash prizes distributed to 325 persons.
 Every friend of Postum is urged to write and each letter will be held in high esteem by the company, as an evidence of such friendship, while the little boxes of gold and envelopes of money will reach many modest writers whose plain and sensible letters con- tain the facts desired, although the sender may have but small faith in winning at the time of writing.
 Talk this subject over with your friends and see how many among you can win prizes. It is a good, honest competition and in the best kind of cause, and costs the competitors absO lutely nothing.
 Address your letter to the Postum Cereal Co.,, Ltd, Battle Creek, Mich, writing you own name and address clearly.

The second section of the Ross bill, the one which has proven objectionable to the foreign corporations, which it demands shall become domestic. was prepared before the Senate Committee on Corporations when that body had the bill up for con, sideraton. MT. Ross wrote the section and it was later adopted.
 The reason the section was added said Mr. Ross. was that 1t was believed the bill would be incomplete without it. Un- der the section the foreign companies gre to be under the same control and suDJect to the same rules as local corporations They given equal privileges, therefore subjected to all the same conditions. TO have left this section out would have leIt a discrimination which might have lnVai, dated the bill. l would oppose the repeal of the second section Of the bill. That Kind of d measure would practically repeal the purpose of the whole affair. and will op- pose it. and endeavor to have the law stand as the Senate and House have ap- proved it."
