NO BLESSING FOR HER.
Disappointed Youngster Disseminated
In His Prayer.

For several weeks, little Ralph had
enjoyed the use Of Shetland pony,
the property of a horse dealer who
was friend of the family. But much
to Ralph's sorrow, there came day
recently when the pony was sold, and
the delightful horseback rides came
to sudden end. The purchaser, as
Ralph found out by inquiry, was a
little girl Of about his own mature
age of five. Ever since his acquaint-
ance with the pony began, Ralph had
included him in his bedtime prayer.

earnest nightly petition. The first

ITCHING HUMoR ON BOY

"One day we noticed that our little

hands. His hands were not as bad
then, and we didn't think anything
serious would result. But the next day
we heard of the Cuticura Remedies

Frank II Not complin :. tary.

Her brother, aged II, had been made
captain of a high school football team
and consequently had become sudden
ly popular with the girls in the neigh
borhood. Because Of this the man.
ager of a skating rink presented BROTH
er with a season pass. Sister, who
had attained the tremendous age of
20, was truly 1attered when brother
asked her, rather than some of the
younger bellies of his acquaintance. to
share the privileges of that skating
rink pass. But brothers explanation
removed all danger of the immediate
growth of sisters vanity. "You see,"
he told her with frank simplicity, I'm
not used to skating with girls. I'll
practice on you for a month or two,
and then when / can do 1t real well
I'll ask some of the other girls"

New Yorker Saw Beauty In Sign,
Where Maiden Lady Could Not.

A party of tourists was being shown
around Ciudad Juarez, the little Mexi-
can town just across the Rio Grande
from El Paso, Texas. Every one was
delighted with its picturesqueness
and in particular a maiden lady, who
went into raptures about each new
sight.
1T is all so quaint" she said. These
adobe houses, the old church, the mar.
row streets, the little plaza. those
dreadful-looking men wearing som.
breros: everything breathes the spir-
It of en- oldworld civilization. 1t Is
so different from our United States"
That's So" assented New York
man who had been listening. For
instance. where in all the world could
you find anything so antique, so full
of inherent beauty, so charged, as II
were, with the essence of pure Joy, as
that sign over there" He pointed

whose exterior was painted:
BIGGEST BEER IN TOWN, &C."

Then she froze the horrid man with
glance and did not speak to him

BANISHED
Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cof
fee even after they know 1t is doing
them harm, is puzzler. But 1t is an
easy matter to give it up for good,
when Postum Food Coffee is properly
made and used instead.
A girl writes: Mother had been
suffering with nervous headaches for
seven weary years, but kept drinking
coffee.
"One day / asked her why she did
not give up coffee as a cousin of mine
had done who had taken to Postum.
y But Mother was such a slave to coffee
I she thought 1t woald be terrible to
give it up.
Finally, one day, she made the
change to Postum, and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One morning
while she was drinking Postum so
freely and with such relish asked for
taste.
THAT started me on Postum and l
now drink it more freely than ! did
coffee, which never comes into our
house now.
"A girl friend of mine, one day, saw
me drinking Postum and asked il 1t
was coffee. told her it was Postum
and gave her some to take home. but
forgot to tell her how to make 1t.
The next day she said she did not
see how could drink Postum. found
she had made it like ordinary coffee.
So / told her how to make It right
and gave her cupful | made, after
boiling it fifteen minutes. She said
she never drank any coffee that tasted
as good. and now coffee 5anished
from both our homes" Name given
