Clever Trick of rramo.

A queer comedy of cheating is now
causing much amusement in Paris.
A laborer named Bedasne, living at
KNOXVILLE, in the Eure ct Loir, went
to Melun with two pounds in his
pocket. Having spent this in liquor,
he conceived the idea OF getting on
to Paris for nothing.
Finding an empty third-class com
partment, he fastened a flannel belt
round his neck, stuffed handkerchief
into his mouth, pitched his empty
purse onto the opposite seat and. ly-
ing down, first had sleep and then,
when Paris was reached, refused to
give any sign of life till the alarmed
station staff poured a cordial into his
mouth.
Then he was taken to a hospital
where he told a story of being at
tackled by three men, but police ques
tions becoming too difficult, he al
last related his stratagem, and was
haled from his sick bed to prison.

SPLENDID APRIL TONIC.
Easily Prepared at Home and Harm.
less to Use.

This is known as Blood Cleaning
Time" especially among the older
folks, who always take something dur
ing this month to clean the blood of
impurities and build it up.
The following is the recipe as given
by a well-known authority, and any
one can prepare it at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half
ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce,
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three
ounces.
Get these simple ingredients from
any good pharmacy and mix by shak-
ing well in a bottle. The dose is one
teaspoonful after meals and at bed
time.
Everybody should take something to
help the blood, which becomes impov-
erished and almost sour after the win
ter season, especially those who are
subject to Rheumatism, Catarrh, Kid
ney and Bladder trouble.
. 1t is saif that one weeks use of this
mixture will clear the skin of sores
pimples or boils.
This is sound, healthy advice, which
will be appreciated by many readers.

A SAC, 900 TREASURY ROBBERY.
Clever Work Of Detective Revealed
the Thief.

The robbery of the sub-treasury In
Chicago recalls the fact that the
treasury department in Washington
was the victim of $4,000 theft about
80 years ago. At first, although no
reasonable explanation Of how the
thing could have been done by an out
slider could be given, 1t was assumed
that it was the work of some one un-
connected with the office in which the
robbery occurred. 1t was not long,
however, before clever detective
became acquainted with the fact that
one of the clerks who might have had
access TO the bundle of bills was ac-
quainted with a professional gambler
of shady antecedents. That discovery
solved the problem. A little patient
watching resulted in catching the
gambler with the stolen notes, and
the rest was easy. The clerk was ar
rested, and, while in confinement, was
given to understand that he was be
trayed, whereupon he confessed the
robbery, which was accomplished by
showing the package of notes, all Of
large denominations. into position

ROMANTIC DEvoNsHIRE.
The Land Made Famous by PhiIpotts'
Novels.


Philpotts has made US familiar with
romantic Devonshire. in his fascinating
novels, The River" Children of the
Mist" etc. The characters are very
human; the people there drink coffee
with the same results as elsewhere. A
writer at Rock House, Orchard Hill,
Bideford, North Devon, states:
For 80 years l drank coffee for
breakfast and dinner but some years
ago found that it was producing indi-
gestion and heartburn, and was max
ing me restless at night These symp-
toms were followed by brain flag and
a sluggish mental condition.
when realized this, made up my
mind to quit drinking coffee and
having read of Postum, concluded to
try it. / had it carefully made, accord
ing to directions, and found to my
agreeable surprise at the end of a
week, that 1 no longer suffered from
either indigestion. heartburn, or brain
fag, and that could drink it at night
and secure restful and refreshing
sleep.
Since that time we have entirely
discontinued the use of the old kind OF
coffee, growing fonder and fonder OF
Postum as time goes on. My digestive
| organs certainly do their work much
better now than before, a result due
to Postum Food Coffee, / am satisfied.
"As table beverage we find tfor all
the members of my family use it) that
when properly made 1t is most refresh
ing and agreeable, of delicious flavor
and aroma. Vigilance is, however,
necessary to secure this, for unless the
servants are watched they are likely
to neglect the thorough boiling which

goodness from the cereal" Name given
