a nat before-never dreamed OF sucn
a hat! My everyday hat OF brown was
contrasted with this new one, and
Heinrich felt sorry for me that L could:
not wear his present every day, a
manifest sacrilege, though, which he
really could not recommend
4 bet you'll hate to put on that lit
tie hat Mondays after you have been
wearing your new one," he said; and
he openly gloated upon the contrast
between my plain old hat and my new
and striking headgear.
But there was look of uncertainty
on Mrs. Heinbach's face. She knew
that hat was not my style" But. her.
woman's wit never allowed her for a
moment to dampen the satisfaction of
her husband in this supreme moment
of his altruistic triumph. At ,lasts
after many handshakesss the man and
his wife went away. AS was laying
my treasure in its box Mrs HEINRICH
reappeared, alone. = :. !
Heinrich was gone down in the ell
evator," she said q told him to wait
for me. I know that hat is not for
you- 1t is big enough, but it has too
much red, and yellow, and purple, and
the pink ribbon is not to you becom-
ing So 1 said to the clerk, when
Heinrich would have her put on the
green feather, You must change this,
1 said, when the lady brings it back
And she promised it. You go over al
ready and you trade for what you
like
l thanked the good woman for her
kindness, and she went away as pleas

with himself And there never was,
and never will be, another hat built
and arIagned like unto, that hat from

Targets for Anglers.

Not long ago several wood disks,
one foot in diameter, painted white,
and each provided with a line and q
lead weight, were placed in the pool
in Central park, this city, by
the Anglers club. for targets for fly
and bait-casting. AS granitoid walk
adjoins the eastern end of the pool,
and the targets furthest from the
casting platform are near this walk,
thousands of park visitors worry the
lives out of the policemen and park
employees with questions relative to
the purpose of the white disks. They
have been asked if the strange things
are early lilypads and-everything I'M

the other day that his naturally sweet
temper had been ruined since the APP
pearance of "them things" But the

fired at me one day as I watched the
anglers practicing.
Are those tin cans used in fish
breeding?" asked the visitor.

The Breakers to Remain Closed

Word comes from abroad that Mrs.
Vanderbilt is to take large estate
near London, and that the Breakers
will not be open this season in New
port
This will be the second summer that
this magnificent estate has been
closed, and it means social as well
as financial loss to the place.
To the gossips of the smart set 1t
means that something attractive is
keeping Mrs. Vanderbilt and her
daughter on the other side of the At

AN OLD SOLDIERS GRATITUDE
He Buys Wonderful Hat for His Ben
efactress Who Aided Him in Get
ting Pension.

r Letters from Washington made it
apparent-it was in the year 1891
that Heinrich Heinbach was going to
receive a back pension, dating from
1865. Badly wounded during the civil
war, he had applied for pension, and
then forgotten it. Now, applying I'M
der the disabilities act of 1890, his
old claim had been revived
From my observations of the claim
ant and the witnesses who accompan-
led him when he came to my office, 1
was sure that Heinrich would need
some counsel and admonition when he
should Unexpectedly acquire two or
three thousand dollars, says Ada c.
Sweet in the Chicago Journal. So /
wrote to him, asking him to call upon
me, bringing with him his wife.
He came, with Mrs. Heinbach, a
sensible, Woodworking, kindly woman,
the mother of four well grown chill
dren. 1 broke the news of their COM
ing good fortune, and Heinrich prom
ised to take his wife with him when
he drew his first pension and to carry
out her wishes as to how the money
should be used.
The great day came around, a
month or two after our talk, when 1
listened to the plans of the honel t
couple had made for the future. They
were first to deposit the money, $3,05O
and some cents, in a bank. Then they
were to buy little home in a small
town near Chicago where there was
a factory in which Heinrich and his
oldest boy. could work, and where the
children could go to school and grow

said.
Wen be happy, in our own home,
and away from the places where it is
so easy to go wrong" she added, with
a significant look toward her husband.
Heinrich made one meek appeal for
$50 to have a good time, once" and
this was conceded to him. And later
in the day 1 saw the happy couple go
out with their indorsed government
check in the wife's pocket, and they
were headed straight for the savings

them, but within three hours they re-

The wife had an apologize and sub

bank book showed their deposit of
$4,000, and after fluctuations over
that, Heinrich arose and brought from
the outer office, where he had left it
on coming in, a big millinefs box

esteem, and in recognition of my eff
forts to save his money from his rath-

COFFEE COMPLEXION.
Many Ladies Have Poor compIexions
from Coffee.

Coffee caused dark colored blotches
on my face and body. 1 had been
drinking it for a long while and these
blotches gradually appeared, until
finally they became permanent and
were about as dark as coffee itself.
Il formerly had as fine complex
ion as one could ask for.
when became convinced that cof-
fee was the cause of my trouble, 1
changed and took to using Postum
Food Coffee, and as made it well, ac-
cording to directions, I liked 1t very
much. and have since that time used
1t in place of coffee.
Il am thankful to say am not ner-
vous any more. as I was when 1 was
drinking coffee, and my complexion Is
now as fair and good as it was years
ago. Itis very plain that coffee caused
the trouble"
Most bad compilations are caused
by some disturbance of the stomach
and coffee is the greatest disturs;er Of
digestion known. Almost any woman
can have fair complexion if she will
leave OF coffee and use Postum Food
Coffee and nutritious healthy food in
proper quantity. Postum furnishes
certain elements from the natural
grains from the field that Nature uses
