> The Fate Of Alexander, Hannibal,
Caesar and Napoleon.
1t is remarkable and instructive
fact that the careers OF four Of the most
renowned characters that ever lived
closed with violent or mournful deaths.
Alexander, after looking down from
the dizzy heights OF his ambition upon
3 conquered world and weeping that
there were no more to conquer, died
Of intoxication in a scene OF debauch
or, as some suppose, by poison mingled
in his wine.
Hannibal, whose name carried terror
to the heart of Rome itself, after hav-
ing crossed the Alps and put to fight
the armies Of the mistress Of the world,
was driven from his country and died
at last of poison administered by his
own hands in a foreign land, unla-
mented and unwept
Caesar the conqueror of SEQ cities
and his temples bound with chaplets
dipped in the blood OF a million Of his
foes, was miserably assassinated by
those he considered his nearest friends.
Bonaparte, whose mandate kings and
emperors obeyed. after filing the earth
with the terror OF his name, closed his
days in lonely Punishment upon bar
rem rock In the midst of the Atlantic
ocean.
Such the four men who may be con-
sidered Representatives Of all whom the
world calls great and such their end
intoxication or poison, suicide. muir
dered by friends lonely exile.

Their Life is No Joke.

Normandy and Brittany together
are the land of legends and romance,
but there is a noticeable difference in
the people. The Breton is stalwart in
stature and stern and serious in dis
position. He has hewed his life out
amid the serious things and along the
rocky roads. His bronzed face looks
austere, but beneath his blue blouse
beats a heart warm and true. The
primitive simplicity Of his life and
the intentness of his religion gives
the Breton short view of the frivoli-
ties of existence. He carries his re-
ligion into his daily life and work
and along all the roads are gaudy cru
cifixes which the peasants never pass
without kneeling and crossing them
selves.
1t is characteristic OF all these Brit
tany folk that they mind their own
business. I don't know what the re-
suit would be if you were to try a
joke on them. I should be AFRAID 10
undertake it. Life is a serious prob
lem to the Breton. 1t is homespun
for him, even though the rest OF
France may be arrayed in silks. He
has worked out an existence against
great odds, and it has given aim a
character and physique which makes
him notable among his fellow u
trymen.-From Gan Intimate Excur-
sion," by Frank Presbrey, in Inc
Outing Magazine.

COFFEE DRINKING
A Doctor Says 1t Weakens the Heart.

"In my opinion says a WELL
known German physician, mo one
can truthfully say that coffee agrees
with him, as it has long since been
proven that caffeine, contained in
coffee, is an injurious, poisonous
substance which weakens and de-
generates the heart muscles.
For tbs reason the regular use
of coffee, soon or late, causes a con-
dition of undernourishment, which
leads to various kinds of organic dis
ease.
Convinced Of this fact, I have
often sought for some healthful bev-
erage to use instead of coffee. At
last I found the thing desired in
Postum. Having had occasion to for
bid people using coffee, whose hearts
were affected, | have recommended
Postum as a beverage, since it is free
from all injurious or exciting sub
stances. l know this from results
in my own family, and among pa
TENTS.
Hundreds of persons who now
use Postum in place of coffee are
greatly benefited thereby" There's
a Reason"

cHAs. W. MORSE ARRESTED
Taken From Steamer Arriving at
New York From Europe.
WALL Street Operator and Ice Trust
Magnate Gives Bail to Keep
Out Of Jail.

New York City.-Charles W.
Morse, promoter, whose command OF
capital in juggling ice stock and Or
ganizing a monopoly of coastwise
steamship lines, in addition to con
trolling a chain of banks, made him
one of the most striking figures in
Wall Street, has returned from
Europe. Scarcely had he come within
the State limits when he was ar.
rested by detectives on a bench war
rant charging grand larceny. Treated
like a criminal who might attempt to
escape; Morse was kept constantly in
sight from the moment the steam
ship passed up from Quarantine until
he had given bail of $4,000 on two
indictments in tne home of Supreme
Court Justice Bowling.
Great was the fall of the financier
who a veal ago was respected as n
of the most astute f~nanciers in Wall
Street, and who, though small of
stature, was considered a giant in
schemes of finance. Morse was seized
the instant he was within State juris-
diction and held.
District Attorney Jerome would
not yield g. point to Morse's counsel,
and the indicted man was compelled
to go through the regular routine Of
the person charged with a crime. Ar
rested Oh the steamship, he was taken
through streets in his own automo-
bile and had to give bail before he
had the privilege of meeting his son
and his wife in privacy. Greater hui
initiation, except Imprisonment, hard
1y could be imagined for a man whose
wealth a year aga was estimated at
$20,000,000; and who is now consid-
cred hardly able to pay his debts.
The arrest was a severe blow upon
Morse, a gambler in stocks, a man
ready for any daring in a business
venture. Though he knew he had
been indicted by the Federal Grand
Jury twice on different phases of the
same transaction, he had not expected
to be arrested. His counsel had tried
hard to obtain the consent of Jerome
to present their client in court and
thus permit him to land in peace and
without notoriety, but Jerome had
replied that the public interests de-
manded that Morse be arrested.
Though Morse had schooled himself
to take every success and every fail
ure without a culver, the unexpected
ness of his arrest for a few moments
unnerved him. He fumbled the war
rant that Lieutenant Berry put in his
hand. 1t seemed he would be taken
from the ship before it reached its
dock. Freed of that doubt he began
to regain his assurance and his old
air of sternness.

Truth and
Quality

appeal to the Well Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact hat it ~cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and it's component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug
gists.
