COFFEE THRESHED HER
Is Long Years.

For over fifteen years. writes a
patient, hopeful little Ills. woman,
while a coffee drinker, I suffered
from Spinal Irritation and Nervous
trouble. l was treated by good ply
sicians, but did not get much relief.
II never suspected that coffee
might be aggravating my condition.
l was down-hearted and discouraged,
but prayed daily that I might find
something to help me.
Several years ago, while at a
friends house, l drank a cup of Pos
tum and thought I had never tasted
anything more delicious.
From that time on 1 used Postum
instead of Coffee and soon began to
improve in health, SO that now l can
walk half a dozen blocks or more with
ease, and do many other things that
l never thought l would be able to do
again in this world.
MY appetite is good, I sleep well
and find life is worth living, indeed.
A lady of my acquaintance said she
did not like Postum, it was so weak
and tastelesS.
II explained to her the difference
when it is made right-boiled accord
ing to directions. She was glad to
know this because coffee did not
agree with her. Now her folks say
they expect to use Postum the rest OF
their lives" Name given by Postum

Blouse Waist.

The blouse that can be worn over
any pretty separate yoke or guimpe
as liked is one Of the novelties OF
the season that has been very heartily
accepted, and which has extended
vogue. Here is one that is adapted
both to the entire gown and to the
separate waist and that appropriate
ly can be made of silk or wool ma
terial and a little later Of the pretty
washable stuffs. In this instance 1t
is made with three-Quarter sleeves
and the material is taffeta trimmed
with soutache braid and French
knots and edged with velvet banding.
But the trimming as we'll as the ma
terial depends upon individual taste
and need, and any finish that may be

The Inner Temple.

ut is the most elegant spot in the
metropolis" You would scarcely rec
ognize this on the instant as a de-
scription of the Inner Temple, says
a London correspondent. And (par-
don the assumption of an ignorance
you may not possess) that word "ele-
CANT" might strike you as a pure
Americanism, given out by one of u
cousins who come with the early sum-
mtsr to criticise US. Not even the ad-
vertising house agent talks now OF
an elegant spot" The word has
gone over to America-to recuperate.
But it was Charles Lamb who de-
scribed the Inner Temple as 1.-The
most elegant spot in the metropolis.
Nor is there any reason why one
should not talk of an elegant steak
For the word is but a variant of elect
picked out-choice!

Tho Progress of the Church.

The progress of the Church OF
Jesus Christ is s%trikingly depicted by
the pen Of John, the disciple of love:
I call you to follow the progress Of
the growth of the Christian Church
in Johns writings. First there was
only one man who believed in Jesus
John the Baptist. Then we read
of two, then Of three, then Of five,
then of twelve, then of seventy, then
of 1870, then of a great multitude
which no mai can number, all sing
ing, WORTHY is the Lamb that was
slain to receive power and riches, and
strength and honor, and glory and
blessing"

liked is quite appropriate for the
prettily shaped bertha. The feature
of the waist consists of the fact that
it can be varied in a number Of ways.
1t can be made either lined or IN
lined with a separate yoke, or with
a fitted lining faced to form the yoke,
or it can be worn over any entirely
separate waist that one may possess.
Also the sleeves can be either in
three-Quarter or full length.
The waist is made with front, backs
and bertha. The front and backs are
tucked at their upper edges and the
bertha is arranged over them. The
fitted lining car be used or omitted
as liked and can be cut off at yoke
depth and the waist worn over a sep
arate yoke, or faced to form a yoke
as desired. The moderately full
sleeves are arranged over fitted lin
ings which are faced to form deep
cuffs when long sleeves are used.

An. Enhancement Bracelet.

Bracelets in intricate workmanship
of links and chains, set with Jewels
at intervals, are the vogue. An ZEN
gagement" bracelet Is an excel
lent example Of a revival of an old
time favorite. OF wrought gold In
flexible weave, set with large square
cut topaz, and with a monogrammed
medallion which is really a locket,
this is a fascinating token that many
girls would prefer to the conventional
ring.

What Enriches Life.

Some time ago an editor wrote to
an aged man asking the question,
What thing have you done in your
life that has brought you the great
est pleasure and happiness?" This
was the answer: What I have done
for the good of other people" How
we'll this agrees with Christ, who
counted it a joy to give Himself as
ansom on the cross, for the redemp-
ton Of mankind. Such a spirit adorns
and strengthens any life. 1t is not
by what you try to get out of the
world that your life will be enriched;
it is by what you give to the world.

Ammunition of Seventeenth Century.

A bucket containing bullets and
gunpowder has been discovered in the
roof of Durham Castle, where 1t is
believed to have been walled up about
the year 1641, when the castle was
being prepared to Withstand a Scot
fish raid.
The bullets are moulded spheres
of two sizes, and, according to the
analysis Of Messrs. Silberrad and
Simpson, consist of a little over nine
ty per cent. Of lead, with iron and
silver and traces of bismuth; arsenic
and anthony. The gunpowder is not

seventeenth century was Prussian

gested that the Durham powder was
probably of Prussian origin.-K>owl-

INDIAN AGENT WANTED.
Position Of Agent at Cheyenne River
Has Few Appllcants-Reds
Want To Move, -

The position Of agent at Cheyenne
river Indian reservation appears to
be going begging. Major Downs, an
army officer has been in charge for
more than a year, and the selection
of a civil agent has been delayed on
account Of numerous matters which
were pending. The only open appli-
cant appears to be c. w. Rastall, the
present clerk at the agency, who has
had many years actual experience in
the Indian service, and who has a
petition signed by a majority of the
male adult Indians on the reservation
for the place.
For a number Of years there has
been an Indian camp several miles
up Bad river, where a group Of reds
under the leadership of Prairie
Chicken took their allotments. These
Indians. now that white settlement is
%crowding in on them desire to sur
render their allotments and take new
ones north Of Cheyenne river among
the many Indians who have taken al
lotments in that reservation. They
have made application to the agent
for such a change, and 1t will likely
be granted to them.

now running. The lakes have not
been so full for twenty-five years as
they are at the present time. The In

Equine Epidemic Of Unknown Disease
Causing Great Damage.


Causing Great Damage.
An epidemic among the horses
AROUND Lebanon is worrying the own
ers, who fear that unless the nature
of the disease is learned 500 they
may lose all Of their animals. Hun
dreds of horses have died within a few
weeks, one man losing 200 out of 300
on his ranch, and as yet nothing 10
known about the disease.
When a horse is attacked by the dis
cas- he loses the use of his legs, and
without being able to stand he eats
and drinks we'll and seemingly is in
good health in every way except as to
the use of his extremities. The horse
will last from three days to a week,
eating and drinking right up to the
time of death. Post-mortem examina-
tions have been held on a number of
the dead horses. and in each case all
the organs have been in a healthy on
dition. The only thing so far discov-
cred has been a small clot Of blood on
the horses brain.
DR.. Brimhall, state veterinarian, sent
for an expert from the bureau of ami
NAL industry at Washington, but Meth
er of these men have been able to de-
termine the nature of the epidemic.
All they could find on post-mortem ex-
aminations was the clot Of blood on
the brain. The Washington officials
have been asked to make systematic
investigation of, the epidemic.

SOUTH DAKOTA FIREMEN.
Annual Meeting Of Association to 81
Held at WatertoWn.

One of the largest of the man,
state meetings which will be held in
WATERFOWL during the coming sum
mer months is the twenty-fourth an
nual tournament OF the South Dakots
Ffremen's association, an organiza.
ton including all of the volunteer fire
companies in the state. which wiz son-
vene in this city June IS, 10, 20 and
81. The association numbers some
seventeen hundred members. and 1t
Is expected that the entire member
ship and many thousand visitors will
be In attendance at this annual event.
The date of this organization goes
back to 1883, when the cities of the
southeastern part Of the state formed
the association. The need of a fire
protection in every city brought forth
more organizations, and hence the
large and we'll organized association
Of which the state nay we'll feel
proud. The fire department laws, the
laws governing their apparatus, dis
cipline, ETC., are the chief themes for
discussion at all these meetings.
The officers of the association are:
C. W. Gillis, Mitchell, president; VIM.
Mieller, Parkston, first vice president;
R. l.. Glisby, Parker, second vice
president; VIM. Luck, Watertown,
treasurer; VIM. Koch, Vermillion,
secretary; F. w. Lyon, Watertown,
corresponding secretary. 1t is quite
customary at the general session to
introduce topics Of special interest to
the fremen. After the Introduction
any member of the organization is
privileged to enter into the discus
sion. This portion of the meeting has
proven to be especially helpful. Bills
passed by the last legislature, bearing
On fire rates and funds, are largely
the result Of discussions In these
meetings.
5 The entertainment committee has
arranged the program so as not to
conflict with track events or special
features of the meeting. On the open
Ing day there will be a parade Of the
delegates and visiting firemen and
a public reception rendered the Wis
itors. Special prizes will be offered
to the best and most complete de-
partment appearing in the parade.
Bone fifteen hundred dollars will be
offered in prizes for the events in
which the firemen will participate. A
special purse will be offered for the
best visiting band and arrangements
are completed for the meeting of all
the musicians in one concert. The
Fourth Regimental band of Water
toWn Is slated for an open air concert
y. Thursday evening of the meeting.
All OF u.o contests will be held at
the West Side Athletic park where
an elegant straightway track is laid
with the finish between the two large
grand stands and bleachers. Ample
and reasonable hotel accommodations
have been prepared and F. w. Lyon,
the corresponding secretary, states
that a keen interest is being mani
Tested throughout the state. The local
1remen state that all funds have
been raised and that Watertown will
be ready to welcome the guests and
tender them a royal good time.
