COINED a BIG WORD.
Little Ono Wanted, to Pick the "Un-
derchiidrenahie" Flowers.

When the first little granddaughter
was big enough to want to pick the
garden flowers, the grandparents tried
every guileful means to save their pet
posies from devastation. A truce was
reached when it was agreed that Har-
riet should let the garden plants alone
and pick only "children's flowers"
descriptive name bestowed at once
alike on dandelions, buttercups,
daisies and clovers. After this there
was peace in the family. One day
Katherine, the newest granddaughter.
was contentedly pulling grasses while
grandmother shipped on blossoms
from the forget-me-nots. Katherine
remembered that fresh flowers had
not been gathered for the dinner Ia

promptly coined one Of the longest
words q four-year-old ever used.

TRANSFORMATIONS.
Curious Results When Coffee Drinking
Is Abandoned.

1t Is almost as hard for an old coffee
topper to quit the use of coffee as 1t is
for a whisky or tobacco fiend to break
of, except that the coffee user can
quit coffee and take up Postum with
out any feeling of loss of the morn
ing beverage. for when Postum is well
boiled and served with cream, 1t is
really better. In point of flavor than
most of the coffee served nowadays,
and to the taste of the connoisseur it
is like the flavor of fine, mid Java.
A great Transformation takes place
in the body within ten days or two
weeks after coffee is left on and
Postum used, for the reason that the
poison to the nerves-caneine-has
been discontinued. and in its place is
taken liquid food that contains the
most powerful elements of nourish-
ment.
1t is easy to make this test and
prove these statements by changing
from coffee to Postum. Read The

Mary's important Testimony.

Justice Brewer, of the United States
supreme court is said to be the author
Of this story: A witness testified in
a certain case that a person named
Mary was present when particular
conversation took place and the Ques-
ton was asked: What did Mary
say?" This was objected to and after
some discussion the Judge ruled out
the question. An exception to this
decision was Immediately taken and
on appeal the higher court reversed
the verdict and ordered a new trial
on the ground that the question
shoulda have been answered.
At the second trial the same inquiry
was propounded and elected the infor-
nation that MARY said nothing"

SMALLER NEWSPAPERS

Nobody can predict positively what the newspaper of the future" will be although some gentlemen who never were in the newspaper business are pre- pared to tell us all about it in the To- cent magazines, says the Chicago Chron. iele.
 One thing, however, may safely be predicted by anybody, and that is that the newspaper of the future will not be any bigger than the newspaper of the present. The limit of size in ratio to cost of white paper has been reached by some journals which even now are either losing money on every paper they sell or else keeping even on the narrow est of margins. Even with heavy ad- vertising patronage it is clear that in creasing size under such circumstances would be to commit financial suicide.
 Other considerations make for re- ductiOn rather than an increase in the size of newspapers. The most import ant one is that the reading public is becoming tired of the great bulk of some daily editions and of most Sunday issues. It is impossible that such masses of printed matter should be read. They become wearisome and in spire the desire for less bulk and more cogency.
 The public pretty generally gets what it wants and that will prove as true of newspapers as of political candi- dates. There is growing sentiment for smaller and more compact news papers, and when that demand culmin. ates the publishers will comply.

THE HARTMAN INQUIRY

F.. II. Hartman does not seem to be losing anything by the inquiry which he is now being subjected to by the interstate commerce commission. On the other hand. he is demonstrating to the world at the expense of the gov, ernment that he is the biggest factor by great deal in the entire railway world. He has shown no hesitancy in telling. the government probers of the deals of vast magnitude which he has engineered in the past decade and par ticularly the last few years; in fact, he has cracked jokes at the expense of the dignified commissioners and the power behind them. But when they finally got him down ito cases" the magnate made the admission, reluctant ly, however, that the "railroads are themselves more to blame than any one factor for the condition that exists to- day"
 Mir. Hartman is mighty big man, and he heads mighty big trust, which can buy up miles of railways by a turning over of the hand. The present investigation will probably mark the end of railroad accumulation by Harri. man. But how it will be done rests with the commission and the president and, we believe, Hartman.
