 At 3:3O o'clock this afternoon the fire department was called to the coal and wood yard of the Frank Miller company on Field street where a wood shed got on fire in some way unknown to those employed there.

The usual salutes were exchanged and hearty cheers greeted the British king from the people shore and the sailors on board the warships.
 The weather, which has been most stormy recently. cleared to some ex- tent and te meeting of the two kings took place under more favorable aus pices than had been anticipated.
 Although the weather was not as fine as hoped for the shore of the beautiful Gulf of Gaeta. stretching from here to Formia was one con- tinuous stretch of luxuriant, almost tropical vegetation.
 The two kings embraced each oth- CT repeatedly when they met on board the Trinacria and King Victor Em- manuel kissed Queen Victoria's 8 hand. The mayor of Gaeta sent her majesty a bouquet. with card bearing the words Devotion and ad- miration to the most powerful queen in the world"
 A lunch on board the sTripacria followed. It was mainly attended by military and naval officers. the only local official invited being General Del Rosso, commander of the fort of Gaeta. The presence of Marine Minister Mirabello. the strong advo- cate of increasing the strength of the FIts.ian navy, and the commanders of Eso many men-of-War before one of lthe chief strongholds in the Mediter- ranean accentuated the martial char acter of the repast. The toasts ex- canged were simply expressions of the friendship between Italy and Great Britain.
 A crowd of English women who were permitted to witness King Ed wards arrival from the high bastions of the fort gave vent to their patriot ism by singing God Save the King, T which was acknowledged by the Brit. ish royal yacht dipping her ensign.

COFFEE THREsHED HER.


"For over fifteen years." writes a
patient, hopeful little Ills. woman
while coffee drinker, l suffered
from Spinal Irritation and Nervous
trouble. ] was treated by good physl,
clans, but did not get much relief.
81 never suspected that coffee might
be aggrayating my condition. l was
downhearted and discouraged, but
prayed daily that l might find some.
thing to help me.
Several years ago while at a
friends house, I drank a cup of Post
UNI and thought | had never tasted
anything more delicious.
From that time on l used Postum
instead Of coffee, and soon began to
improve in health, so that now l can
walk half dozen blocks or more with
ease, and do many other things that
never thought l would be able to
do again in this world
my appetite is good, I sleep well,
and find life worth living, indeed. A
lady Of my acquaintance said she did
not like Postum, it was so weak and
tasteless.
II explained to her the difference
when it is made right-boiled accord
ing to directions. She was glad to
know this because coffee did not agree
with her. Now her folks say they ex.
pect to use Postum the rest Of their
lives" Name given by Postum Co.,
