TWO ToPERS." A Teachers Experience.

My friends call me "rhe Postum Preacher, writes Minn. school teacher, because I preach the gospel of Postum everywhere I go. and have been the means of lberating many 'coffee-pot slaves.'
 T don't care what they call me SO long as I can help others to see what they lose by sticking to coffee. and can show them the way to steady nerves, clear brain and general good health by using Postum.
 While a school girl drank coffee and had fits of trembling and went through a siege of nervous prostration. which took me three years to rally from.
 'Mother coaxed me to use Postum but thought coffee would give me strength. So things went. and when married I found my husband and I were both coffee topers and I can sympathize with a drunkard who tries to leave off his cups.
 At last in sheer desperation I bought a package of Postum, followed directions about boiling it. served it with good cream and asked my husband how he liked the coffee.
 We each drank three cups apiece, and what satisfied feeling it left. Our con version has lasted several years and will continue as long as we live. for it has made us new-nerves are steady. appe- tites good. sleep sound and refreshing"

large crowd at East Lake yesterday afternoon witnessed what came within a hairs breadth of being a fatal accident, when Mile, Loubet, failing to make a sue cessful loop the loop, was hurled with her car against the iron frame of the deaths gap, suffering very painful and serious injuries.
 The reporter who was an eye witness of the accident, and the great crowd thought for moment that the daring woman had ridden her last time A spe- cial exhibition was being given in honor Of the Ledger carriers, who were enjoy ing a picnic at the park
 Mile. Loubet tested all the wires herself, and after getting in the little car, was drawn to the top of the steep incline. Asked if she was ready she said Yes" the trap was sprung and she came rush. ing headlong down the incline.
 But by some misfortune the cone on one of the axes of the car bound the wheel holding it so it would not revolve. This prevented the car from attaining the necessary momentum and was evidently known to Mile. Loubet for she gave her body two violent lurches in an attempt to make it go faster.
 Crossing the little bridge with crash it turned to make the loop and as it reached the top left the track and fell through space, striking and breaking one part of the loop, and then fell across the body of the woman. who hit her head against a piece of iron in the fall.
 She was immediately carried to her room in an unconscious condition, but was revived by Dr. T. A. Jones of East Lake, and says she will make the leap again this afternoon. Her head, shoulder and abdomen were painfully injured, but 1t is not believed to be dangerous. She says this is her fifth accident

NIGHT RIDING.

Under no circumstances is
night riding right, unless it is to
apprehend a criminal at large
and to wait until morning to per-
sue him, mightgive him a chance

but never in a disguise. Some
crimes are punishable under the
unwritten law by death, and
when the guilt is ascertained,
mete it out to the culprit without
delay. Do it openly, for if it is
right no harm can come to the
participants. To wait until dark

of being ashamed, or afraid Of
just censure.
