A SMALL SECRET.
Couldn't Understand the Taste OF
His Customers.

Two men were discussing the var
ious food products now being supplied
In such variety and abundance.
One, grocer, said, Il frequently try
a package or so of any certain article
before offering 1t to my trade, and in
that way sometimes form a different
Idea than my customers have.
For instance, thought would try
some Postum Food Coffee, to see what
reason there was for such a call for it.
At breakfast didn't like 1t and supper
proved the same, so l naturally con-
cluded that my taste was different
from that of the customers who bought
It right along.
"a day or two after, waited on a
lady who was buying Csc package
and told her l couldn't understand how
one could fancy the taste of Postum.
I know just what is the matter
she said, you put the coffee boiler on
the stove for just fifteen minutes, and
ten minutes of that time 1t simmered,
and perhaps five minutes it boiled

beverage, rich in food value of gluten
and phosphates, so choice that you
will never abandon it, particularly
when you see the great gain in health
Well, l took another trial and sure

good, and life seems worth living since

ach and kidney troubles"
Postum is no sort of medicine, but
pure liquid food, and this, together
with a relief from coffee worked the
change. There's a Reason

matter slowly In my mind and try
ing to determine the proper course
to pursue.
My cigar was nearly burned out
and ] was on the point of going to
my room when a shadow fell across
the railing in front of me and Miss
Carney stood by my side.
Il wondered if you would be here"
she said, nervously. 81 wanted to see
you, for there is something | forgot
to say to you last night"
She had slipped a long coat Of
dainty brocaded stuff over her dinner
dress and, as she stood in the
light Of the drawing-room window,
she made a picture worthy the brush
of the greatest genius that ever
lived.
Il won't sit down, thank you," she
continued, interlocking her fingers
and playing with her rings as IL
greatly agitated. You know, Annie
Is growing steadily worse, and the
doctor from the village says she
must have a nurse, so 1 have tele-
6lophCu loi tWo W SOuhO at OhSCs
Oh! thought that dinner would never
end"
She seemed to feel the chilliness of
the night air. but, declining my offer
to get her an additional wrap, she
drew the fur trimmed collar of her
cloak more closely about her neck,
and went on hurriedly:
you remember I once told you
that Annie and Jack, my brother, had
some sort of a disagreement Just be-
fore he went away and that he left
this country because of 1t. Well.
Annie told me some time ago that
was entirely wrong in my under
standing of the matter, and I have
wanted to tell you all about it so
many times, only I could never bring
myself to speak of it,
She paused, and I could see that
she was weeping softly, but l had
myself well In hand, and even be-

fore I could speak, she resumed
slowly:
"You saw Jack when he returned,
Mr.. Ware, and you must know how l
feel about it all, but since Annie has
told me that he went away only be-
cause, when she knew of the nature of
her disease and that her condition
was hopeless, she broke the en-
gagement between them and insisted
upon his leaving her in the hope
that his love would finally die out,
l cannot but look upon the matter
in a different light. That is why I
have tried to do everything in my
power for Annie for, while at first
I merely valued her as friend,
now love her as sister, but l have
never been able to bring myself
to a point where I could condone
Jacks behavior. He has my SYM
pathy, of course, but he has no
reason to follow the course he has
and few or no excuses can be made
for him."
Her feelings overcame her at last
and, wiping away her tears, she sank
into the chair that 1 had left and
continued. plaintively:
"Annie speaks of him now almost
all the time, and the doctor asked me
about 1t, and when 1 told him he said
that if Jack could come to her at
once it might do her world of good.
/ know it is a dreadful risk to take
in many ways, for Annie did not
see him when he was here before,
and has no idea of the depths TO
which he has sunk, but perhaps he
would realize his position and do
better with her. What do you think
about it?"

piled. Have you spoken to Miss
Weston about sending for hinl?"
'Oh, yes" she returned, land I
don't know what to do at ALL When

her into hysterical state, and just
as soon as she thinks l am out of
hearing she begins to say those dread.

WESTERN MEN IN NEW YORK.
Brains of Mountain and Prairie In De
mand In the Financial Center.

Ever since the early days, when D.
o. Mills, j. B. Haggin and James r.
Keere ''emigrated" from California to
New York, the metropolis has been
drawing largely on the west and south
for its supply of men who do things"
Theodore P. Shonts, both a southerner
and westerner, who has undertaken to
solve New York's great transit prob
lem, is the latest importation in re-
sponse to the call of the east.
The promptness with which Thos. F.
Ryan, of Virginia, turned the Equit-
able Life Assurance Society over to
its policyholders, who now elect a ma
jority of its Board of Directors, and
Invested himself of the control of the
stock which he bought from Jas. H.
Hyde, and the success of the new
management of the Society under the
direction Of President Paul Morton,
have created a demand for the strong
men of the south and west that is
greater than ever before. Under the
Morton management the Equitable has
made better showing than any other
insurance company in the way of i'm
proved methods, economies and in
creased returns to policyholders.

poration in the world-the U. S. Steel

'1s 1t a biblical play?" asked Mrs.
Sedgewick with interest.
"Oh, dear, no." replied Miss Car
ney. Just the ordinary sort of a
play, with a man and woman and
whole lot of pathos and comedy
sandwiched in and spread around.
But it is very sweet and enjoyable.
Haven't you read the book?"

Carney sweetly, "but l hope to, some
day, however"
Mrs. Sedgwick thinks that I only
care for biblical plays" broke in the
rector, hurriedly, as if to forestall any
discussion of his wifes favorite au-
thor, "and l do think that good pro-
ductions of that sort should be en-.
couraged and supported. The stage

Miss Carney, as a mischievous light

A man who runs truck farm in
Virginia tells of the sad predicament
In which colored man named Sam
Moore, who is in his employ. recently
found himself. Sam had had consid-
cradle difficulty in evading the on
slaughts of dog from a neighboring
farm. Finally the dog got him, as
Sam kicked at him.
Sans wife, hearing tremendous
yell, rushed to the rescue of her hus-
band. When she came up the dog had
fastened his teeth In the calf of Sans
leg and was holding on for dear life.

wife was about to hurl it when Sam,

His Name for It.

was once teaching a class of small
pupils in physiology in a rural school
and asked the class what name was
given to the bones of the head as a
whole. A little girl raised her hand
What Is it, Lucy?" asked.
"Skull!" she answered.
Correct" said 1; "but what other
name has it?" expecting some one to
answer Uranium" All were silent
for while, then little fellow who
seemed to be in a deep study quickly
raised his hand, his eyes sparkling
and a confident smile spreading on
his face.
What is it, Henry?" | asked.
"Noggin," was his immediate reply.

Thursday last the Santa Fe bridge
built of steel and cement over Big
hickory, creek eleven miles south
Of this city, was swept away by the
heavy rains which had fallen in the
western county. Since that time the
Santa Fe has been detouring their
trains via Madill and Denton into
Gainesville, Texas while Marietta has
been accommodated by 2 train run
from Gainesville.
Tramc of pall kinds has been seri-
ly interfered with since the bridge
went out and is still not wholly clear

Only a temporary bridge has been
constructed over the creek to accom-
modate the schedule. This bridge is
being used at present. by the side of
the bridge a strong structure, not
built of steel and cement, but onor-
nous logs and timbers is being erect

the bed of the creek makes It necess
