Three brothers-John, William and
Henry Mock-an well to do, live in
Davie County, n. c. Near the Mock
home lives the family of Jacob De
pass, and the chief ornament of this
family was Miss Nellie Depass, says
the New York Herald.
Each one of the Mock boys was in
love with Miss Nellie and had told
her SO many times, vowing his life
would be utterly worthless unless the
beauty would become his wife
Miss Nellie decided that she would
have a wedding, and she told each one
of the brothers to get ready as though
the two who failed to get her could be
the best men and wait ON their more
fortunate brother.
One night Miss Nellie walked into
the parlor in her finest costume and an
nounced that she had decided to let
the brothers draw straws 70 see which
she would marry She said she would
manipulate the straws, as she was
"disinterested."
When the straws were laid on the
center table to be inspected it was
found that the youngest brother had
drawn the shortest straw Immediate
~ Miss Nellie took his arm. and the
bridesmaids and their attendants ar
ranged themselves in front of the fam
lily minister, who was there for the
occasion. In five minutes Miss Nellie
was Mrs. Henry Mock.

ILL FROM OVERWORK
NERVOUS PRoSTRATION CURED
BY DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
By Tonine UP The Blood and Nerves Pa
tent Recovered Weight, Strength
and GOOD Spirits.


When the nervous system is broken
down from overwork, or whatever cause,
life loses its joys. Not only is the ner-
yous victim sufferer himself but he Is
usually trial to the whole family.
Nervous breakdown is often gradual,
appearing at first to be merely an unu-
sual fretfulness. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills tone up the nerves IN the most
direct way and not only cure minor
troubles but serious disorders as well.
Mr.. w. W. Munroe, of 16 Hazel Park,
Everett. Mass. says: "About four years
ago this September became all run

These pills actually make new blood
and have cured such diseases as rheu-
matism, nervous and general debility,
Indigestion, nervous headache, neuralgia
and even partial paralysis and locomotor
ataxia. As tonic for the blood and
nerves they are unequalled.

the National Annuity Association,
writes:
My health was excellent until about
year ago, when I had a complete col

Furs worn for vanity,s Sake.

grumble, for the fur stole, the latest
feminine fad for adornment, is the best
friend doctors have known for a decade
The wearing of the stole induces sore
throat, tonsiiitis, and possibly bronch-
ial troubles. The throat never should
be bundled up in such fashion. To wear
an ordinary high coat, with high col

garment is the best way to keep off
hoarseness. That collar may not look
as jaunty as the fur stole, but the COM

Strange Thibetan Superstition

A good example of the hocus pocus
that the barbarian priests of Asia prac-
tice on their fanatic dupes is afforded
by the ceremony whereby the Grand
Llama of Thibet is supposed to gain
eternal life. When this worthy ap-
proaches death the priests choose a
healthy child or years old, into
whose body they pretend to cause the
soul of the Grand Llama to migrate.
Thus the spirit, although clothed in a
new body. remains among the people
Unfortunately. The Buddhists believe
implicitly in this miraculous rebirth.

PhiipottS has made US familiar with
romantic Devonshire, in his fascinat-
ing novels, The River" Children of
the Mist" etc The characters are very
human; the people there drink coffee
with the same results as elsewhere. A
writer at Rock House, Orchard Hill,
Bideford North Devon, states:
For 80 years l drank coffee for
breakfast and dinner. but some 5 years
ago | found that it was producing indi-
geStion and heartburn, and was max
ing me restless at night. These symp-
toms were followed by brain flag and
a sluggish mental condition.
when l realized this, made up my
mind that TO quit drinking coffee and
having read of Postum, l concluded to
try it. 1 had it carefully made, accord
ing to directions, and found to my
agreeable surprise at the end of a week,
that l no longer suffered from either
indigestion, heartburn, or brain-fag,
and that I could drink it at night and
secure restful and refreshing sleep.
''Since that time we have entirely dis
continued the use OF the old kind Of
coffee, growing fonder and fonder of
Postum as time goes on. My digestive
organs certainly do their work much
better now than before, a result due to
Postum Food Coffee, am satisfied.
''As a table beverage we find (for all
the members of my family use itl that
when properly made it is most refresh
ing and agreeable, of delicious flavor
and aroma. Vigilance is, however. nee
essary to secure this, for unless the
servants are watched they are likely
to neglect the thorough boiling which it
must have in order to extract the good
ness from the cereal" Name given by

In a paper rec, ntly published by the
American Philosophical Society, Prof. L.
J. J. See of the naval observatory at
Mare Island dissents from the theory
quite common among scientists that earth
quakes are caused by the subsistence of
rock faults in the earth's strata. Prof.
Sees opinion is that these disturbances
are caused by the explosive power of
steam from within or just beneath the
earth's crust. the generation of this steam
being chiefly due to leakage from the
ocean beds. As proof of this theory he
cites the fact that most violent earth
quakes occur in lands bordering on deep
seas
