Happiness from Troubles,

Being human, happily or unhappily,
we cannot deny the comfort to be
found in the reflection that misery
never lacks the company it loves. We
all have our troubles, and some of us
derive much satisfaction from the CON
temptation of them. Indeed, there are
those who are happy only when
Wretched, but these we believe to be as
few in number as they are disagreeable
in association. The vast majority of
humans are normal and disposed. there

TO smile when the skies are clear and
to grieve under the portent of clouds ;
hence the ease with which worry takes
possession of the mind, colors the dis

That causes abound we know and
must admit, as we do almost uncon-
sciouSly the certainty of death, but
too little cognizance is taken of the
fact that the effect of mere apprehen-
sion, which is all that worry really is,
may be subjected to simple mental
treatment and be overcome.-George

e. J. STRONKS IS KILLED.
Vice President of Pfugradt Candy Com
pany Loses His Life in Ele-
vator Shaft.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, March >, 1908.
Garrett j. Stronks, vice president of
the Pfugradt Candy company died Sat
urday night at the Emergency hospital
from injuries sustained in a fall down
an elevator shaft in the cOmpany's store
21I East Water street several hours be-
fore. Mr. Stronks was IS years old and
was associated with the pflugradt COM
pany for ten years.
Mr.. StrOnkS was about to leave the
store about 0:3O O'Clock Saturday even
ing when he remembered that he had
forgotten some papers. He returned TO
an old structure in the rear of the new
building and connected by means of
door and an elevator shaft. The shaft
was the nearest way, and evidently be-
iieying that the elevator was in place
on the first floor, Mr. Stronks walked
into the open door to the lift. The ma
chine was on the second floor, however
and Mr.. StrOnkS plunged into the open
ing, a distance Of ten feet, falling upon
his head. Employees missed him and
found him shortly afterwards uncon-
sciOUs. He was removed to the Emer-

An EXtrayagant Claim

Not even the great name of Washing
ton should weigh enough to bear down
the scale against equity and common
sense in the case of the claim for $31O.-
500 put i'll by Robert Il. Lee, Jr., which
is now before Congress.
Lee is Il grandson of the ChiCftain
of the Confederate forces, whose wife
was the daughter of George Washington
toms adopted children. He is the adj
ministratOr de bOnis non of Washing
tons estate. The claim is for 1000
acres of land in the Virginia military
district of Ohio said to have been en-
tered or land warrants by Washington
before his death, which land was after
ward taken up by others because Wash
ngtonS entries were not recorded. The
value of the lands was not more than
$4,000 i'll Washington'S time. What it
would have been now is prOblcmatical,
but. under the circumstances, $31O,5 800
is large sum.
The matter was first brought before
Congress in 1907. 1t came up again in
1852 but was not pushed at that time
by the Washington heirs. In 1899 Con
gress enacted that all Virginia military
warrants not surrendered within year
should be invalid. The heirs did nothing
within the time specified, but are now
asking for the considerable sum re
ferred to. 1t is too large. Let the
Washington estate have 1000 acres of
good public land elsewhere, and let the
heirs be content with that.-Evening

ANDY HAMIL TON DEAD
WAS ONE OF PRINCIPAL FIGURES
IN INSURANCE INQUIRY.
He Put His Accusers to Rout in ORA
matte Speech at States
Capitol.

ALBANY. \. Y. March o-Andrew
Hamilton, who was one of the principal
figures III the New York insurance in
vestigation three years ago. was found
dead ii bed at his home on Thurlow ter
race yesterday. Mr.. Hamilton had failed
III health ever since the insurance i'll
qulry, and after the death of his wife
several months since his decline was
more noticeable than ever to his friends.
Several years ago Mr.. Hamilton had
a critical illness and was pronounced
dead by two physicians. Dr. Theodore
Bailey saw some condition which led him
to believe that life was not extinct and
the three physicians resuscitated him.
His death was due to dilati0n Of the
heart. while his nearness to death before
was attributed to heart failure.
When the insurance scandal reached
its climax Mr.. Hamilton went to Europe
for rest and on account Of an inSidious
nervous disease. While abroad he was
bitterly assailed and criticised by his enc
mics at home who insisted that lie was
to blame for much of the administration
policy of the New York Life
These unjust criticisms stirred the
fighting blooG of Mr.. Hamilton and he
returned home not as sinking fugitive
but as an aVenglng accuSGr. When he
came back TO New York voluntarily his
enemies said he had made some arrange
ment to give information to the authori-
ties in exchange for immunity for him
self. When he went to Albany, wrap
ping himself i'll mystery, fears were ex-
pressed that he might be working against
the insurance reform bills, but Hamilton
smiled and said nothing.
Then came Il climax which astOnished
Hamilton's enemies and the opponents of
the insurance reform bills. On March
10, 1906, he entered the Assembly cham
Der in the capitol, where the Armstrong
committee was giving hearing on the
in an impassioned speech of thirty-five
minutes denounced the officers and trus-
tees Of the New York Life as ''traitOrs''

OLD SURGEON
Found Coffee Caused Hands to
TrembIe.

founu CoEee Caused Hands to
TrembIe.
The surgeons duties require clear
judgment and a steady hand. A slip
or an unnecessary incision may do ir-
reparable damage to the patient.
When he found that coffee drinking
caused his hands to tremble, an Ills
surgeon conscientiousIy gave it up and
this is his story.
For years I was coffee. drinker
until my nervous system was nearly
broken down, my hands trembled so
could hardly write, and insomnia tor
tured me at night
Besides how could I safely perform
operations with unsteady hands, using
knives and instruments of precision?
When l saw plainly the bad effects Of
coffee, [ decided to stop It, and three
years ago 1 prepared some Postum, Of
which L had received a sample.
'The first cupful surprised me. 1t
was mild, soothing, delicious. At this
time l gave some Postum to a friend
who was in a similar condition to mine,
from the use of coffee
"a few days after, met him and he
was full of praise for Postum, declar-
ing he would never return to coffee but
stick to Postum. We then ordered a
full supply and within a short time my
nervousness and consequent trembling,
as well as insomnia, disappeared, blood
circulation became normal, no dizziness
nor heat flashes.
MY friend became a Postum enthu-
siast, his whole family using it ex-
clusively.
1T would be the fault Of the one
who brewed the Postum, if it did not
taste good when served.
The best food may be spoiled if not
properly made. Postum should be boil
ed according to directions on the pkg.
Then it is all right, anyone can rely
on it. 1t ought to become the national
