Is 1T A TREASURE CHEsTp

| Officers of the Alabama Make DIS
covery in Cuban Waters.
While the various battleships com
prislng the Atlantic fleet were at the
rendezvous on the south shore OF Cuba
II came to pass on one Silly morning
In April last that one of these, the
Alabama, flagship of the second squad
ron. must needs lose an awning
stanchion by dropping it oversize, says
the New York Times.
Now, awning stanchions are not
very important part in the equipment
of n battleship. and one more or less
makes no serious difference. This one
had gone overheard in about seventy
feet of water, and Mt about the same
time the crew was going to breakfast,
so no effort was made to recover IT.
But 1t so happened that the surgeon
of the vessel, Surgeon L. Won Wede-
kind, came on deck just then to smoke
an ter-breakfast cigar, and leaning
over the aft rail dlscerned a white OBJ
ject gllmmering In the depths beneath.
Gazing more intently Into the limpid
depth-the ship Just then having swung
so as to form lee-the surgeon made
out the outlines of another object rest
ing on the sea bed some seventy feet
under foot, and one which took the
shape of stout chest, iron-bound and
apparently lncrusted with the barna-
cles OF hundred years or more.

and one or two of his brother officers
got glimpse of the chest before the
sea breeze again blurred the surface
of the water. Then It was that re-
sourceful lieutenant constructed
water glass, and through this made
careful scrutiny of the chest, and from
his observations judged that 1t had
rested there upward OF century or
more. The chest appeared to be of very
stout build. bound around with iron
bands and one end Of IL was deeply
sunk in the bed of the sea.

flies his pennant from the Alabama.
was informed OF the discovery, as was
also Captain Comfy, who commands
the battleship. Both came to look. and
both heard with great interest the re-
port of the lieutenant who had in
spected what Is supposed to be some

GOOD MANNERS SECRET.
Two Theories of the Requirement,
UnseIHshness and ConyenffonaIIty.

Two Theories of the Requirement
UnseIAshness and ConvenffonaIIty
Most mothers hold, consciously OF
unconsciously, one Of two theories
about the requirement of manners by
their children.
One mother says Manners are only
the outward sign Of the inner nature.
II my daughter has kind heart and
well-tralned mind she Will behave
In gentle, charming fashion. l will
teach her compassion, respect for age,
unselfish zeal for helping with the
worlds work. Her manners will take
care OF themselves"
Another mother says: my girls will
never get on without conventional man
ners. They shall be taught from baby
ing of ladies. They shall be instructed
In the proper behavior for every occa-
sion. They shall walk and dance and
write and speak with graceful perfec-
ton"
Neither method, says the Youths
Companion, produces altogether salts
factory results.
Unselfshness Is truly the foundation
of good manners. but not the super
structure. Many conventional restric-
lions have grown about social relations.
Some can be explained by the demand
Of kindness and some can not. Could
a child infer from his desire to help

A wagon brake which operates au

How They Have Figured in Mans
Various Little Vanities.

Various Little Vanities.
An honest history of the beard would
| lay open an undercurrent of petty van
| ity in many of the worlds greatest fig
ures. Henry VIII, for instance, shaved
until he learned that Francis L of
France wore a beard and then he laid
| aside his razors and strops forever.
Even the gentle Sir Thomas More had
a beard which was his joy and his
pride. When he was on the scatfold
and the headsman was about to lift
the fatal ak Sir Thomas halted him,
saying: "Wait till put aside my
beard, for that has committed no trea-
sen"
Again there was the celebrated bishop
of Clermont, who was appointed to that
Office shortly after the council of Trent
and who precipitately fled his bish-
opric one Easter Sunday morning
rather than suffer the loss of his beard.

sors and razor we know not, but that
the concealment of such facial flaws
has always been to a greater or less
degree the motive for the growth of
boards is certain.
In Mexico and other Spanish coun-
tries the hat has for centuries been the
object of mans vanity. The custom
found its origin in the days when the
Hapsburg power was supreme. One
of the most cherished privileges that
the old grandees enjoyed was that of
wearing their hats in the presence of
royalty. The absolute power of their
monarch left them little else to do but
enter into rivalry with one another in
regard to the splendor of their head
coverings.
The gay conceit spread rapidly
throughout the Spanish dominions and
even to-day characteristic sugar loaf
hats may be found in Mexico for sale
at the astounding price of from $500
to 81 900 for a single hat When our
soldiers Invaded Cuba and Porto Rico
in 1898 the Spanish style struck their
fancy and most of those who did not
come back to the States in hospital
ships returned with their sedate cam
paign hats transformed into contrap-
lions with high pointed crowns after
the Spanish fashion.
From the time when man wandered
the painless forests bearing on
his shoulder a murderous bludgeon
with which to strike down his enemies
the cane has never gone entirely gone
out of fashion. =
The modern fop would feel as much
1t sea without it as did the beau of

when it said that the cane had become

Francis Owen and the stock com pany at the Bijou are making good in MT. Owens new three act comedy "The Dreamer" This is the initial per- fcrmance of the play and its trying out is creating much interest and discus sion. The characters of the play are being created by the members of the stock company and several of them are unusually well conceived.
 MT Owens interpretation of the leading role, that of John Lawrence, is unique and exceedingly original one. It is the character of a successful au- thor who is so wrapped up in his writ ing that he lives entirely within the sphere of his imaginations, his absent mindedness causing no end of compli- cations and ridiculous situations.

TO SLEEP WELL
There's Way and There's Reuson

Sleep is "tired natures sweet restor- er,' it builds up and repairs the wear and tear of the days work. Without sleep the human machine soon wears out.
 A N. Y. city lady writes: My hus- band and I were inveterate coffee drink CTS, both of us being so very fond of the beverage that we continued it long after we discovered that it was the cause of much suffering from sleepless nights and nervous exhaustion. We tried to give it up, first by reducing our allowance to one cup a day; then we managed to give it up altogether for a few days. But the craving returned, and we went back to the coffee and the sleeplessness and nervous trouble.
 "Then, reading the advertisement of Postum Food Coffee, I bought pack age and began to use it. My husband was skeptical and refused to try it. However, he noticed that I was sleep- ing better, and one morning declared that he enyied me my sound slumber. I told him I believed it was Postum that was helping me, and poured him
 
 and left his coffee untasted and from that time has used Postum exclusively, and he cannot praise the miraculous power of Postum Food Coffee too high ly. It has not only brought us sound, refreshing sleep, and taken away our nervous exhaustion, but we have found that usually all the breakfast we need can be made on Grape-Nuts and Post um Food Coffee. We. have been fol- lowing this simple morning diet for some time, and feel the best beneficial results from so doing. I shall be glad to verify these statements at any time, as we both feel that you are doing a lot of good in explaining to people the ef- fects of coffee, and how easily to be rid of them" Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.
