OLD SOAkERS
Get Saturated with Caffeine,

When a person has used coffee for a
number Of years and gradually de-
clined in health, it is time the coffee
should be left OF in order to see
whether or not it has been the
cause OF the trouble.
A lady in Huntsville, Ala, says she
used coffee for about 40 years, and for
the past 20 years has had severe
stomach trouble. II have been treat
ed by many physicians but all in vain.
Everything failed to give relief. Was
Frustrated for some time, and came
near dying. When I recovered sufi-

using it. I tried tea in it's place and
then milk, but neither agreed with
me; then I commenced using Postum,

TOTO, THE WICKED PRINCE.
How He Was Finally Cured of His
Naughty Ways.

Prince Toto was probably the
naughtiest little prince there ever was.
He kicked and scratched and bit most
every n who came near, and became
a terror to his nurse and others who
waited upon him.
Of course, he was given nearly
everything he wished. When he could
MT have what he desired, he became
unusually vicious and disagreeable.
During bad weather he was at his
very worst. Then he would go up to
the roof of the castle, where was al
ways stationed a royal astronomer,
and command that official to have
good weather sent Immediately. When
the dignif1ed gentleman would explain
that that was impossible the naughty
prince would pull the astronomers
beard or throw away his cap.
Things came to such a pass, how
ever, that complaints began to reach
the king himself. The king was very
much shocked at these reports Of the
princes misbehavior.
He at once issued a proclamation
offering a great reward to any one
who would rid his son Of such evil
traits.
For a time no n appeared, but at
last there came to the king an un-
couth giant, with great long nails,
tusks for teeth and long, pointed ears.
Il am a genie sent by the good
fairy who watches over your king
DOM" he explained, in answer to the
look of wonderment upon the kings
face. Have no fear; 1 shall take
good care of our SOL and return him
to you completely cured"
So the king finally permitted the
giant to take the prince with him.
The prince wasn't the least bit will
ling to CO., but whether he would or
no, he was forced to seat himself
upon the back Of a great goose, the
giant bestrode another, and in a Sec
ond's time they were flying swiftly
through the air. Toto hung on for
dear life, fearful every moment that
he would take a bad tumble.
Don't feel so much like kicking
and biting and scratching now, eh?''
asked the genie.
After a while they landed near a
great lake. Strange to say, across this
lake there stretched a very narrow
plank.
Toto was made to walk across the
lake, the genie walking on the water

NO STAIN ON HIS RECORD.
That's Where the Driver Had the Best
Of the Preacher.

A New York clergyman, who often
spends his vacation in fishing the
streams of the Adirondacks, was on
one trip adopted by a handsome set
ter dog, which insisted on following
him from camp to camp, as he moved
along the stream.
One day he met a party of men
working upstream with a native guide,
The guide Immediately recognized the
dog as his own property.
"Trying to steal my setter, are
you?" he shouted at the clergyman.
I'll have you to Jail for this! There's
a law in the woods just as big as you
have in the city"
The clergyman endeavored to ex-
plain that he was an unwilling COM
panion of the dog, which had refused
to be driven away, but to little effect
until he added a two-dollar bill to his
arguments.
It's queer what strange things hap
pen to a man up here" he said to the
s~tage-driver who later carried him
away from the woods. "That is the
first time I was ever accused of steal
ing a dog"
Eyes, SIR" replied the driver, SYM
pathetically, and added, after a mo-
ment's pause, For myself, sir, I have
never been accused of stealing any.

In the log and an oyster can in the

Then the money was taken down to

The bogus dollars and the can had
been placed in the hollow of the tree
long years before, and as the tree
grew they were sealed up as tight as
a drum. The boy is now looking for

How Trick Is Done.

string holding the ring, which, being
thus released, will fall into the hand,
with which you can quickly cover it
before it leaves the string to add to
the mystery.
The surprise Of your stringholder
will now be doubled, says Philadelphia
Ledger, if you proceed to return the
ring to the string without removing
the ends from his fingers. Pass the
string, as in the first trick, around one
Of his fingers, and drawing the loop,
as before, toward the other hand, slip
it through the ring as shown at d;
then pass the loop over the finger,
this time leaving it near the end. as c;
with your two forefingers catch up
the string which was first upon the
fingers, and slip it from them over the
part holding the ring, and you will
find the ring in place, as at the begin.
ming of the first trick.
