Head Bookkeeper Must Be Reliable.

Head bOOkkeeper MuBt he HetlAbles
 The chief bookkeeper in a large business house in one of our great Western cities speaks of the harm eof- fee did for him:
 My wife and I drank our first cup of Postum Coffee a little over two years ago, and we have nsed it ever since, to the entire exclusion of tea and the old kind of coffee. It hap pened this way:
 About three ard a half years ago I had an attack of pneumonia, which left a memento in the shape of dyspep- sia, or rather, to speak more correctly, neuralgia of tht stomach, My cup of cheer had always been coffee or tea, but I became convinced, after a time. that they aggravated my stomach trou- ble. I happened to mention the mat ter to my grocer one day and he sug- gested that I give Postum Food Coffee a trial.
 Next day it came, but the cook made the mistake of not boiling it sufficiently, and we did not like it much. This was, however soon, reme- died, and now we like it so much that we will never change back. Postum being food beverage instead of Il drug, has been the means of curing my stomach trouble, l verify believe. for l am well man today and have used no other remedy.
 My work as chief bookkeeper in ouf company's branch house here is Il a very confining nature. During my coffee drinking days I was subject to nervousness and the blues in addition to my sick spells. These have left me since l began using Postum Food Cofees and l can conscientiously re- commend 1t to those whose work con fines them to long hours of severe mental exertion" 'Theree . Reason. |" Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek Mich.

 Doubtless when MT. Hartman gave $50, 900 MT. Roosevelt was surprised and displeased. He had not hinted at such a thing. His suggestion to liar riman was to go out and raise some he did as he was told. MT. Roosevelt says he is a liar, and that shows that MT Hartman disagrees with MT. Roosevelt.

Roosevelt desires to make 1t appear that Harri- man has written mass of falsehoods Houston Post.
 Mir. Roosevelt appears to have been caught with the goods on him, al though MT.

The Wilcox Era calls attention to a great fault which is to be found in some of our State exchanges. It says:
 Several of our exchanges come to us weekly with the ready made editorials sent out by the patent attorneys at Washington, and The Advertiser and others of the large dailies reproduce these editorials crediting them to only one paper when the same matter appears in several papers of the same date. We know most of the editors who publish this matter and know also that each one of them could write better editorials than those sent out by the patent attorneys and their use of them can only be attributed to the fact that the fishing season is near at hand and the boys have the spring fever.
 The Era is right in condemning this way of publishing as original editorial matter prepared away from home and for great many papers A newspaper editor ought to be ashamed to use the so-called patent editorials. Either have your own, or none. or proper credit for such as are used from an- other paper. -~..:.

The Boston Gibbs asserts that there is not a single chance in the world that two sets of finger prints are identical This method of identifying criminals is becoming common in large cities, and is said to be better than all other methods combined. Features, hair, beard. dress, voice and all other dis tinguishing marks may be changed, but if the tips of thumbs and fingers are allowed to go unchanged, they will leave a mark that will be the same at all times, and no two sets of human fingers have precisely the same char terttics.

IT IS TANGLED.

We must confess that we are not en- tirely clear on that Mrs. Howard Gould incident. The story in brief is that an architect had prepared plans for the improvement of her Long Island palace, and that she not only rejected the plans, but told him in fervid English thae he was nothing but a d-d ar- chitect" Then he sued her, and the Court of Appeals has confirmed a yer tune of nearly thirty thousand dollars. Just here is where the muddle comes in, for we can't make out whether the architect brought suit because his plans were rejected, or because of the manner Of their rejection. It is due to Mrs. Gould to say that she vehe- mently denies having used a swear word. She declares, in effect, that she never, never used a big, big D" Tn the matter at all Be that as 1t may, the jury thought he had been cussed and should be paid for 1t, or that his reflected plans were worth the amount they awarded him. He gets the money, all the same.
 As The Indianapolis Star somewhat slightly speaks of the unusual affair. "the verdict Is not conclusive except as to the money and leaves the matter open to speculation. Would lady really say damn to an architect un- der provocation? Any number of wo- men will testify to the fact that archi- tects are the most provoking and ex- asperating men on earth unless it is their husbands, but comparatively few women swear at their husbands, and 1t is hardly to be believed that those who are not in the habit of addressing g profane language to the latter would damn architects to their faces. however great the provocation." And, after all. 1t may be that the jury did not believe that the woman swore, did not believe the plans were worth so much money, but gave him the verdict as a sort of ointment for the laceration of his feelings caused by the rejection of his cherished plans. One can never tell what a jury will door a woman, either, for that matter.
