WASHINGTON. = Senator w. J.

out to the Providence hospital, near

Gated the cot of Chinaman to whom
the senator presented packet Mrs.
Stone had brought from Manila. The
Chinaman Is L. All Nav, valet to Ad-
miral Dewey, and the packet was a
remembrance to Mrs. Nav from a
brother. The gift was intrusted to
Mrs. Stone at Manila, who promised
that 1t should reach the proper hands
In Washington.
Senator and Mrs. Stone were in Ma
Mia last fall. During their stay the
Chinaman served as their particular
attendant and was SO jealous in his eff.
forts to please that the Missouri SEN
ator and his wife came to like him
very much. When the American party
started upon their return to the United
States their Chinaman confided the

in the bill that the payment Of tax
does not permit any cat to go upon
private property other than that oc-

1t Is kept secret. 1t Is rumored that a

loose to gather in the taxdodgers.
The crusade against cats Is being
led by Mr.. MacFarland because OF the

thoughtless, discriminating cats.
1t is not thought that serious protest
will be entered against the proposed

God to Be Restored to Nations Coins

mint early in November last year, the
discovery was made that the motto
I'm God We Trust" had been omitted.
The responsibility for the omission
was placed at the door OF President
Roosevelt, for only through an execu-
tive order can change be made In
designs for coins. This responsibility
the president readily assumed, but,
when adverse criticism began to come
from all quarters of the country and
religious and patriotic societies took
up the matter, he decided to issue a
statement setting forth his reasons
for the action.
In this statement the president said
there was no warrant of law for the
inscription. Also he said that his own
feeling in the matter was due to his
"very firm conviction that to put such
a motto on coins. or to use 1t In any
kindred manner, not only does no
good, but does positive harm, and Is in
effect irreverence Which comes dan
gerously close to sacrilege."
The president was firm that he
would not order the motto to be re-
placed unless directed 10 do 50 By

The minister had dropped in to tea,
and the conversation had drifted
through various channels to the ques.
tion of whether or not we should know
each other In heaven. Presuming that
our physical beings would be perpetu-
ated, and that recognition would be as
sured, the minister had asked various
ones at the table among whom the Bib
lical characters they would be most
interested in recognizing.
Some mentioned one prophet and
some another, but one lady, noted for
her social exclusiveness, had not
spoken. Turning to her the minister
said: "And who would you like to meet
in heaven, Mrs. Intheswim?"
Mrs. Intheswim pursed her lips. 81

Congressman Has Plan to Help Farmers

the lands for this purpose shall be
provided by the farmers themselves
and that they shall do the work of cul-
tivation under the direction of the
experts of the department of agri-
culture. No, additional appropriation
from congress will be required to test
Mr.. Scott's plan, 1t is explained, as the
agricultural department has the requi-
site number of experts to carry 1t out.
Mr. Scott asserts that enough money
Is being wasted by the department In
sending out farm bulletins and other
government documents to carry out his
idea. He says that much valuable In
formation has been given by the ex-
perts in these publications, but their
contents are so little understood by
the farmers that they do not derive
the knowledge from them which they
should obtain as to the best methods
Of growing corn, wheat, hay and other
crops.

OLD SURGEON
Found Coffee Caused Hands to
Tremble.

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 conscientiously gave it up and
this is his story.
For years was coffee drinker
until my nervous system was nearly
broken down. my hands trembled SO I
could hardly write, and insomnia tor.
tured me at night.
Besides, how could I safely per-
form operations with unsteady hands,
using knives and instruments of pre-
cision? When I.saw plainly the bad
effects OF coffee, decided to stop it,
and three years ago prepared some
Postum, of which ] had received a
sample.
1.-THE first cupful surprised me. It
was mild, soothing, delicious AT this
time gave some Postum to friend
who was in similar condition to
mine, from the use Of coffee
"A few days after, met him and
he was full Of praise for Postum, de-
claring he would never return to cof-
fee but stick to Postum. We then or
dered full supply and within a short
time my nervousness and consequent
trembling, as well as insomnia, disap-
peared, blood circulation became nor

my friend became Postum en-

who brewed the Postum, IL 1t did not

favor possible to bestow that gift be

All Nav is probably the best known
Chinaman In Washington. He is per-
mitted to reside in this country by spe-
ciai act of congress. He entered the
service of Admiral Dewey when, rs
commodore, Dewey commanded the
American fleet In the Orient. All
Nav was on board when the United
States squadron captured Manila. As
a mark of respect to Admiral Dewey
congress passed law excepting All
Nav from the exclusion laws.
Senator Stone first undertook, last
New Years day. to fulfill his mission
of presenting the remembrance from
the brother in Manila. Upon that day
the Missourian thought to pay call
of respect upon the admiral and trans
NIT the packet, also. Upon reaching
the Dewey residence he found all in
confusion. The heavy lace curtains
in the parlor had caught fire, threat
ening the destruction of the house and
menacing the safety Of women guests
who were present. All Nav rushed
into the parlor, tore down the cur.
tains, extinguished the fire, saved the
house and possibly saved lives. But
he was badly, dangerously burned. He
was taken to the hospital, and the
commission intrusted to Senator Stone
could not be carried out until a few
days ago.
