Quoted from the private's pay.
Private McGinnis had a great
deal of trouble with his laundress.
Saturday after Saturday had his
shirt come back with the neck but
ton off or else hanging by single
thread. He had spoken to her on
the subject, and she had promised to
water it, but still the button was
not on properly.
He got out of patience one Sun
day, when the missing button had
made him late for parade, and ex-
claimed bad cess to the woman
I'll give her "a hint this time, any
how He took the lid off his tin
backing box-about three inches in
diameter-punched two holes in it
with his fork, and then tied it on
the neck of the shirt that was next
to be washed.
Next Saturday, when his washing
came back, the whole room gathered
round him to see if she had taken
the hint; she had-she had made
buttonhole to fit it.

There is a story told of President
Lincoln, writes A. Maurice Low in APP
pletons, that during a critical time
in the Civil War. when the Senate had
been particularly obstructive. one of
his ardent sympathizers burst in upon
him and holly denounced the Senate,
and finished his TRACE by asking ::
What's the use of the Senate, any
way
MIR. Lincoln was drinking cup of
tea In lis homely fashion he poured
the tea from the cup TO the saucer and
back again to cool it off, und;sturbed
by the callers vehemence
Well said the man impatiently,
what's the use of the Senate?
Il have Just shown YOU WAS Lin
coins answer, and once more the tea
was poured.
The man looked puzzled. Then a
great light broke upon him. You mean
it enables public passion to cool off,"
The greatest of American presidents
nodded and drank his tea.
THAT, then. is the function of the

has been upheld by Judge Lauer in the
Municipal Court of New York.

$500 damages from the r. A. Gushee
Company. proprietors of the Claremont.

he had gone to the restaurant and seat
ed himself at an unoccupied table in
the garden. He was advised that the
table was reserved. but that he would
be served inside the restaurant proper
He remained at the table for more than
an hour, while the walters ignored
him.
1t was held by the court that the
service indoors was in every respect as
good as that outside, with the exception
that the location outside was prefer
able.
Judgment was entered for the Gushee
company.

Technical Knowledge Needed.

There is one thing I'd like to ask
you," said the victim, after the footpad
had relieved him of his portable property.
First, though, have you any kick to make
as to the amount of stuff you have found
on me?"
No." answered the footpad.

man of my general appearance, was it,"
Yes. What are you drivin' att"
well, this is the third time I've been
held up, and | begin to suspect that /
carry more loose change about me than is
really necessary. What l want to knew
is this: What is the smallest amount d
man can carry in his pockets and yet be
sure of not being beat up for having too
little when some fellow like you goes
through him?''
But the highwayman stiff1y refused to
give him the information. 1t would have
been giving away one of the secrets of his
trade.-Chicago Tribune.

Home-Made Catarrh Cure

Any one can mix at home the
best remedy of its kind known. The
name Cyclone" is given to the follow
ing prescription, it is supposed be-
cause of its promptness in driving from
the blood and system every vestige of
catarrhal poison, relieving this foul and
dread disease, no matter where located.
To prepare the mixture: Get from any
good pharmacy one-half ounce Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one ounce Com
pound Kargon and three ounces Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Shake well
and use in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and at bedtime.
This is a harmless, inexpensive mix
ture, which has peculiar action upon
the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys
assisting them to filter and strain from
the blood and system all catarrhal
poisons, which, if not eradicated, are
absorbed by the mucous membrane
and an open sore or catarrh is the re-
suit
Prepare some and try it. as it is the
of an eminent catarrh spe-
cialist of national reputation

DREADED TO EAT.
A Ler Couples Experience.

A Q ker Couples Experience.
How. many persons dread to eat their
meals, although actually hungry nearly
all the time.
Nature never intended this should be
so, for we are given thing called ap-
petite that should guide us as to what
the system needs at any time and can
digest.
But we get in a hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace, and our sense Of appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted. Then
we eat the wrong Kind of food or eat
too much, and there you are-indiges-
ton and its accompanying miseries.
Phil. lady said, the other day:
My husband and / have been sick
and nervous for fifteen or twenty years
from drinking coffee-feverish, indiges-
ton, totally unfit, good part of the
time, for work or pleasure. We actual
~ dreaded to eat our meals
I'VE tried doctors and patent medi-
cines that counted up into hundreds of
dollars, with little if any benefit.
Accidentally, a small package of
Postum came into my hands. / made
some according to directions, with sur
prising results. We both liked it and
have not used any coffee since.
THE dull feeling after meals has
left US and we feel better every way
We are so well satisfied with Postum
that we recommend it to our friends
who have been made sick and nervous
and miserable by coffee" Name given

BABY TORTURED BY ITCHING

Rash Covered Face and Feet-wouId
Cry Until Tired Out-Had ..Cradle
Cap" Too-Speedy Cure by Cutf-
cura.
My baby was about nine months old
VIXEN she had rash on her face and
feet. Her feet seemed to irritate her
most, especially nights. They would
cause her to be brokeR in her rest, and
sometimes she would cry until she was
tired out. l had always used Cuticura
Soap myself, and had heard of so many
cures by the Cuticura Remedies that l
thought would give them trial. The
improvement was noticeable in a few
hours, and before | had used one box
of the Cuticura Ointment her feet
We're well and have never troubled her
since. I also used it to remove what
is known as cradle cap" from her
head and it worked like a charm, as
it cleansed and healed the scalp at the
same time. Now keep Cuticura Oint-
ment on hand in case of any little rash
or insect bites, as it takes out the in
fiammation at once. Perhaps this may
be the means of helping other suffering
babies. Mrs. Hattie Currier, Thomas

woods, gather the roots, flowers or buds
of some well-known plants, bring them

ease and restore strength and vitality

appetite, Rhubarb and Aloes to move
the bowels, Blackberry root and Ginger

others were used to cure and prevent
