How Gov. BodWell Won.

Samuel w. Matthews, who has been
chief of the Maine bureau OF industrial
statistics since its establishment back
in the SOS. and who has held several
other Offices of trust, is a very fluent
and impressive speaker.
In 1886, when there was close con.
test for the Republican nomination
for governor between Dr. Hamlin of
Bangor and Joseph X. Bodwell of Hal.
lowell, Mr.. Matthews espoused the
cause Of the latter. and at the con.
vention made a speech which brought
no little credit to himself
Mr.. Bodwell had been spoken of as
man with but limited education.
Mr.. Matthews referred to this "scath.
ing criticism" in his nominating
speech, and said:
1T may be true that Mr.. Bodwell
is not highly educated man, but
he has shown conclusively that he
knows how to make his mark"
AS Mr. Bodwell was one OF the
must successful business men In the
state, this allusion brought down the
convention, and many thought 1t was

A Tragedy of Resemblance,

curious case of mistaken identity
is recalled by the visit of the prime
minister to Glasgow. says Reynolds
newspaper. When Peel and Lord
Aberdeen accompanied the queen and
prince consort to Scotland, 60 odd
years ago, Peel had double who was
not his double in any physical particu-
lar. 1t happened that when he drove
1t was always in the royal carriage or
that of Lord Aberdeen. His own con.
veyance was in attendance, but occu-
pied on each journey by Edward
Drummond, his private secretary.
The latter. therefore, was regarded
by the ignorant as the prime minister
himself. The mistake proved tragic.
When Drummond returned TO London
there returned also fanatic who had
an imaginary grievance against the
premier. Meeting Drummond in
Whitehall and still believing lin to
be Peel, he shot him dead.

that II his daughter had appeared in

rHslR FIRST DISH OF TEA
When the Sewerage Was New to the
Good Folks Of Nantucket.

In a letter written 160 years ago.
says The Epicure. there appeared this
description of how the first chest OF
tea was received on the island OF Nan.
tucket, and OF how the first dish OF
II was made:
Cousin sent from Boston yesterday
by trusty messenger a large box OF
tea, the first that was ever on the
island, real Chinese tea. which Nat
himself procured In China. II Is OF
greenish color with little shriveled
leaves, and when eaten dry has n
pleasant, spicy taste.
I'VE have just had tidings that
Cousin Nat and his friend, Captain
Morris, intend to arrive here on the
3ist of December. Uncle Nathaniel
SAYS we will have tea party to sit
the old year out and the new year in.
I'VE cooked n beautiful dinner and
our guests all came. wore my new
blue gown with some lace in the neck
and tied back my curls.
Aunt Content has been much pes
tered in her mind because she knew
not how to cook the tea and serve IT,,
and after our neighbors had arrived
she confided TO them her perpleSity.
Mrs. Lieutenant Macy said she had
heard that 1t ought to be well cooked
TO be palatable. and Aunt Edward
Starbuck said a lady in Boston who
had drunk tea told her that II needed
a good quantity OF sleeping. which
was the reason 1t was so expensive.
So Aunt Content hung the bright five
gallon bell metal kettle on the crane,
and putting n two-quart bowl full of
tea into It. with plenty Of water,
swung It over the fire TO boil.
When was laying the table l
heard Lydia Ann say, I heard that
when tea is drunk 1t gives a bril-
liancy TO the eyes and youthful
freshness to the complexion. | am
afraid that thy sister-in-law failed to
put in a sufficient quantity
so Aunt Esther put another bowl
full OF the tea into the kettle.
When the tea had boiled about an
hour. down TO gallon. 1t was poured
into grandma's silver tankard. and car
ried to the table. Aunt Content said
to her son and his friend. I have
made a dish OF tea for you. but am
fearful that have not prepared 1t as
hath need. and woTld like your opin-
ion
"Whereupon my cousin looked and
shifted at the tea. and made answer:
As my loved mother desired my
opinion, | must needs tell her that a
spoonful OF this would nearly kill any
one OF us here at table
THE captain then said he would
instruct me how TO draw the tea.
And this young lady he said, shall
make the first dish of the beverage
used in Nantucket"

FOOLED THE PREACHER.
A Doctors Brother Thought Postum
Was Coffee.

A wise doctor found out coffee was
hunting him, so he quit drinking it.
He was so busy with his practice,
however, that his wife had to write
how he fooled his brother, clergy
man, one day at dinner. She says:
Doctor found coffee was injuring
him and decided to give Postum a
trial, and we have used it now for
four years, with continued benefit. In
fact, he is now free from the long
train of ills that follow coffee drink
ing.
ITO show how successful we are
In making Postum properly l will re-
late an incident. At a dinner we
gave, Doctor suggested we serve
Postum instead of ordinary coffee.
Doctors brother, Clergyman, sup
posed 1t was old fashioned coffee and
remarked, as he called for his sec.
ond cup: II you do preach against
coffee, see you haven't forgotten how
to make IT."
This goes to show that well-made-
fully boiled-Postum has much the
flavor and richness of good coffee al.
though 1t has an individuality all its
own. A ten days trial will prove that
It has none of the poisonous effect Of
ordinary coffee, but will correct the
troubles caused BY coffee. There's :

What the publisher said of
authors might be said with equal
truth of editors, especially of
magazines, into whose ranks
have entered many who were
formerly of the newspaper

The reporter who represents
his paper in other countries, es.
