the one he liked most was a photo

CHILDREN SHOWED 1T
Effect of Their Warm Drink In the
Morning.

"a year ago I was a wreck from
coffee drinking and was on the point
of giving up my position in the school
room because of nervousness.
Il was telling friend about it and
she said, We drink nothing at meal
time but Postum Food Coffee, and it is
such comfort to have something we
can enjoy drinking with the children
Il was astonished that she would al
low the children to drink any kind of
coffee, but she said Postum was the
most healthful drink in the world for
children as well as for older ones, and
that the condition of both the children
and adults showed that to be fact.
my first trial was a failure The
cook boiled it four or five minutes and
it tasted so fat that l was in despair
but determined to give it one more
trial. This time we followed the di-
rections and boiled it fifteen minutes
after the boiling began. 1t was a de-
cided success and l was completely
won by its rich delicious favour. In a
short time noticed a decided i'm
provement in my condition and kept
growing better and better month after

WHY He Lost Interest.

The adventures of real city dwellers
when in the country are usually anus
ing-to other folk. There is certain
New York lawyer who proved no ex-
ception to the rule when, for the first
time in his life, he really got clear of
paved streets and found board at
New England farmhouse. Among other
things-in the city-he had always
been a prominent member of the HUI
name society, fact which another
boarder, lady, seemed to have heard,
for the second day of his stay she re-
marked:
You are a member of the S. P. G.
A, are you not, Mr.. Carter?"
Mr.. Carter shifted his position with
stifed groan and reflected. In two
days he had been chased a mile by
bull, kicked over a fence by mule,
bitten in the calf by dog, and butted
through a thorn hedge by ram.

Sunday afternoon. The appointed
day came, but at the livery stable all
the horses were taken out save one

to his friends residence. The lady let
him wait nearly an hour before she
was ready, and then on viewing the
disreputable outfit fatty refused to ac-
company Mr.. Nye.

that horse may die of age any mo-
ment."

wHlsTLER's COCK FIGHT YARN.
Disguised Eagle Pitted by Yankee
Sailors Against British Champions.

Whistler used TO take delight in tell
ing a story of some American sailors
who were at a cockfight in a seaport
town in England, when one OF them
remarked to the owner of the cham
pion:
We've got an American cock on
board that can whip any bird here"
Go fetch i'm on" said the English
man, chuck i'm in and see. If e licks
one bird we ave plenty more to throw
in that can lick tany blawsted Ha-
merican bird you can fetch ere
"All right; Wen Lring one" said the
sailors.
When they got aboard they rigged
up an American eagle. After their
own manner they painted, trimmed,
spliced, and reefed fore and aft, trans
forming the eagle to a cock. When
ready they went ashore, and at the pit
chucked in their new gamecock,
which, overcome by surprise, prompt
~ backed close to the wall.
Now bring on Your birds" yelled
the sailors.
A strutting cock was thrown into
the pit, and was another surprise to
the poor dismantled eagle. He backed
closer and closer to the wall, wonder
ing what would happen next.
The cock walked three times majes-
tically around the circle, cutting at his
strange opponent, the eagle pitiably
abashed and bedrabbled, crouChing
lower and lower, and looking around
and above him for an explanation of
what it all meant, while the crowd
were yelling madly for the English
fighter.
The eagle made himself smaller and
smaller, but at last. finding that he
could get back no further, and think
ing that something was expected Of
him, stretched out his long claws as
the cock dashed at him again and took
his opponent by the neck.
Here Whistler ended, with an imita-
tion by motions of what the eagle did
He stretched out his arm, shaped his
hand like a claw (by this time it
looked like real onel, drew it to his
mouth, and, with one bite, pulled off
the head, as he thought an eagle
might do it. Then he looked blandly
about the room, as the eagle had done,
at the astonished crowd and said;
Now bring on Jour other birds. -

WHERE WAS THE CAT?
Admitting the Meat, Owner Wanted to
Be Shown Feline.

A certain family living in one of the
suburbs of New York owned kitten
of which they were very fond. When
they went away for the summer it was
decided after various consultations to
leave the kitten with the butcher, oil
condition that he should treat 1t with
the greatest kindness and give it about
a pound of meat a week, besides its
daily allotment of cream. Some weeks
after the family had closed the house
for the summer the nominal head of
the family visited the suburb to attend
to some business matters, and decided
that he might as we'll drop in at the
butchers to see how the kitten was
getting along.
He found the kitten curled up in a
corner asleep and apparently at peace
with the world, but, far from being
sleek or well fed in appearance, it was
SO thin that he felt constrained to call
tae attention of the butcher to the
fact
do you mean to say you have fed
that cat pound of meat during the
last week?" he asked.
Il certainly have" responded the
butcher.
Put him on the scales and see how
much he weighs"
The butcher did as requested. and
gently deposited the kitten in the bal
ance. The pointer indicated exactly
one pound. s.
