Curious Results When Coffee Drink
ing Is Abandoned.
1t Is almost as hard for an old coffee
topper to quit the use OF coffee as it Is
for a whisky or tobacco fend to break
off, except that the coffee user can quit
coffee and take up Postum without any
feeling Of loss Of the morning bever-
age. for when Postum is well boiled
and served with cream. it is really bet
ter in point of flavor than most Of the
coffee served nowadays. and to the
taste Of the connGisseur 1t is like the
flavor Of fine. mild Java.
A great transformation takes place
In the body within ten days or two
weeks after coffee is left off and Pos
tum used, for the reason that the poi
son to the nerves-caffeine-ha been
discontinued and in its place is taken
a liquid food that contains the most
powerful ele!nentr of nourishment.
1t Is easy TO make this test and prove
these statements by changing from cof-
fee to Postum. Read "The Road to
Wellville," in pkgs. There's Rea.

GOLDEN DAYS IN THE STRIP.
1t Was When the Cherokees Got Pay
for Their Lands.

for Their Lands.
The Cherokee nation literally "rolled
In money" when the S6.5O0 900 received
from the sale Of the Cherokee strip was
disbursed among the tribal citizens In
1894, says the Kansas City Star The
per capita share was 1865. 10 The pay
ment was made usually with two 500
bills, one $50. one $40, one $5 and 20
cents in silver. The money was dis
bursed by "Zeke" Starr, treasurer, and
Henry Effort. assistant treasurer of the
nation. Most OF the Indians were in
debt, and creditors swarmed in towns
where the payments were made. I. A.
Latta. who attended these payments,
in recalling incidents lately, said:
Much has been told of the dishon-
esty OF the Indian, but In this payment
there were many examples Of integ.
rty. At Tahlequah a full-blood wom-
an, perhaps 60 years old, widow, drew
for eleven participants in the fund
She had traded with many of the mer'
chants who sat at the tables between
which she had passed. After the mon
ey had been counted out to her she
swept the entire amount into her apron
and holding corner in each hand, she
passed from trader to trader, pausing

! ticient amount to balance her indebted.

o. another. This was only one case.
There were scores like it, and, though
| not pleasant to relate, the confidence
thus placed was sometimes betrayed.
There are cases where the greedy cred

"A mixed blood Of some astuteness

it was the minute for verifying the

bic ut one time close 70 half million
dollars in crisp new treasury notes.
Laps full of money? There were wag.
onloads OF it. 1t was no uncommon
thing to change a hundred-bill for g.
cent sale. And the scarcity of change
was responsible for the custom Of
charging % cents for changing bill Of
that denomination.

Hot Fight Before Wake County Com
missioners tuesday.

There was a hot fight before the
Wake County Commissioners Tues
day over a new road that is being
built from New Light township to
Wake Forest. There were over
fifty citizens from Wake Forest and
New Light here Tuesday, armed
with petitions from over ninety per
cent of the people who lived near
the proposed road. The citizens
claimed that the Road Commission
would not hear them. They OBJ
iected to location of the road and
appealed to County Commissioners.
1t was finally agreed that the Road
Commission should hear the citizens
in regular session, and if further &C
ton was asked that special meet
ing of the Commissioners would be
called by the Chairman in short
time. However, before this decision
was reached there were hot words
passed, and some of the citizens said
if the Commission did not hear
them now they would hear from
them at next election. Of course
they will hear the complaints now
they see the citizens mean business.

under the Constitution. And a
mighty reform, long needed. will be
accomplished in the present political
history of class legislation in North

In determined and dignified man

Do SILK Stockings Rattle?

The Charleston News and Courier,
the editor of which. as the Nashville
American truly says, Makes it a rule
TO never smile On Sunday" is much
perturbed by the question said to have
been submitted to a jury in Chicago,
DO silk stockings rattle on a womaa
who wears them when she walks?"
1t appears that the woman in this par
ticular case has been indicted for en-
bezzling $1,000 from her employer
and investing the money in silk STOCK
iugs and French underwear; and the
prosecuting witness wore that while
he had never seen the stockings ne
knew they we're silk because he had
heard them rattle. Hence the ques-
ton, and the News and Courier should
like to have it determined by the
gentlemen in Charleston who are &C
custoned to making note of such
things. Answers may be sent to the
society editor" Our Nashville content
porary does not believe that the n
of Charleston has any society editor
since it "has old fashioned ideas and
does not believe in parading private
entertainments, or social functions or
personal or family affairs or social
features in a newspaper" Therefore,
it is suggested by Nashville, that The
Observer be called upon to solve the
problem. Excuse IS. The Observer
is not afraid to walk UP to any ques-
ton within it's sphere and take it by
the throat; but shirks questions which
are beyond it, and this is one of tina:
class. The effort to entrap US in thi~
matter is an invention of the enemy
and is resented neutrality-suspicious.
