Nobody had ever accused Nathan

ton of young Jared Parker's marry

GLnpowder And Matches.

: !, Austin Miller, employed by; the
Illinois Steel Company, at South Chi
caeo. was the victim of a peculiar
accident, the. other day, when a guam
tity of gunpowder, which he. carried
in his coat pocket, exploded Physi-
ciHns AT the compahys' hospital said
they did not believe he would recover.
Miller is employed in the blasting
department. and before leaving for
work he filled his coat pocket with
the powder.
AS he was entering the plant he
slipped and fell to the floor. The
pocket in which the powder was kept
also contained several matches.
When the young man struck the floor
the friction ignited the matches and
set fire to the gunpowder. A deafen-
ing. explosion followed, and when the
smoke cleared Miller was found man
gled and bleeding fifteen feet from
where he had fallen-Chicago Jour

One Cartoonist's Record.

Cartoonist Davenport has the :uni-
que record of electing more. men to
office than any'other cartoonist in the
country. land his method is unique
in that he does it by opposing them.
On the notable list of men he has
helped to elect Will be found the
name of the late President Mckinley.
the late Senator Hanna, Mayor Nc
Clellan, Of New York; Mayor Busse,
of Chicago, and. lately, Mayor John
son, of Cleveland. And the explana-
ton is, possibly, that while many
cartoonists show in pleasant way
the faults and foibles of the candi-
dates they oppose. they do it in n
kindly, humorous way. while Daven-
ports political drawings generally
show bitterness. - Marion 90 h o.

Voice Energy.

DR.. Marage recently presented be-
fore the Academy of Medicine. at
Paris, the results of an investigation
of the amount of work performed by
orators and singers. 1t appears from
his experiments that a bass voice. in
order to produce the same impress
sion upon the ears of hearers in
ball, requires the performance of
from seventeen to eighteen times
more work than is required for a
barytone or tenor voice. The bass
voice is always at Il disadvantage
with regard to the amount of work
IL demands. Thus, DR.. Marage finds
that whereas men are always more
fatigued than women and children
by an equal effort of the voice, men
with bass voices suffer the most ia

Another and seasonable rule Is

There is a man in my town."
said Richard Sanders, of Los Ange-
les, at the Maxwell, who attracts
a deal of attention by driving a beau
tiful ostrich to a small lightweight
sulky. The great bird draws the
vehicle in the finest kind of manner
and can make some awfully fast
time. Not long ago the bird raced
against a fast horse and won the race
by three good lengths. The ostrich
can kick like a battering ram. That
is his only means of defense. Win
ter tourists visiting Los Angeles go
wild with delight at seeing the os-
trich driven about the city Mash

Strenuous Times. These,

We are passing rapidly from
strenuous to more strenuous times
A hundred years, ago our forefathers
did not violate the Queens English,
when they CHANGED to miss a sailing
vessel across the Atlantic and had 20
wait six months for the next. Fifty
years ago our forefathers swore but
little when perhaps they missed "a.
stage-coach crossing the western
prairies, and had to wait even in
Chicago for 80 days.
Now a man swears viciously if he
misses a tFain-even when going to
work--and has a brainstorm if he
misses a street car.
But the limit was reached last
week when a. man ina Broadway of
flee building had a nervous, fit and
broke a good pair of suspenders be
cause he missed a compartment in
revolving door.-Judge. .

SCHOOL TEACHERS
Also Have Things to Learn.

For many years 1 have used coffee
and refused to be convinced of its bad
effect upon the human system"
writes a veteran school teacher.
Ten years ago I was obliged to
give up my much loved work in the
public schools after years of continu-
Gus labor. I had developed a we'll
defined case of chronic coffee poison
ing.
The. troubles were constipation,
hutterings of the heart, a humping
in the top Of my head and various
parts OF my body, twitching of my
limbs, shaking of my head and, at
times after exertion, general gone
strong coffee. I was a nervous wreck
for years.
"A short time ago friends came to
visit us and they brought a package
Of Postum with them, and urged me
to try it. I was prejudiced because
some years ago had drunk cup Of
weak, tasteless stuff called Postum,
which did not like at ALL
This time, however, my friend
made the Postum according to direc-
tions on the package, and it won me.
Suddenly / found myself improving
in most decided fashion.
The odor of boiling coffee no lon
ger tempts me. i am so greatly bene-
fited by Postum that If continue to

The fact that colds are more COM

due simply to the lower temperature.
1t is mainly because people spend less
