Chinese Justice.

A certain Chinese taoti (magistrate>,
having told his men to have two ingots
of gold sent to his treasury for purchase,
the shopmen brought them in, and, in
answer to the query Of the taotai, told
him that the price was so much in taels,
but added: This is the ordinary price,
but for your honor we will knock off
one-half of the price"
Then the taotai said to his underhngs:
Seeing that they are to sell to me at
only half price, just give them back one
ingot of gold, ana put the other In my
treasury, and thus their account is set
tied. Goodbye"
The underlings of the yamen did SO,
but still the shopmen hung around wait
ing. The taoti asked them why they
were waiting, when their account had
been already settled. Said the shopman:
when did your honor pay your humble
servantsY"
Then the magistrate answered with q
very fierce air: "Tiao nu ts'ai! Gmper-
tinent slaves) Did you not say that
these two gold ingots were half price to
me? Then did l not give you back one
ingot and keep the other, and thus settle
your account without the least injustice,
according to your own proposition? So
be off with you, or my ictors will give
you taste of the courgen'-Cleveland

BANISHED.
Coffee Finally Had to Go.

Gomez FINALLY A1au TO GOs
The way some persons cling to coffee
even after they know it is doing them
harm, is a puzzler. But it 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.
Zone day l asked her why she did
not give up coffee, as a cousin of mine
had done who had taken to Postum.
But Mother was such slave to coffee
she thought it would 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 free
" and with such relish, l asked for
q taste.
THAT started me on Postum and l
now drink it more freely than l did
coffee, which never comes into our
house now.
"a girl friend of mine, one day, saw
me drinking Postum and asked if it
was coffee. l told her it was Postum
and gave her some to take home, but
forgot to tell her how to make it.
THE next day she said she did not
see how I could drink Postum. l found
she had made it like ordinary coffee.
So l told her how to make it right and
gave her a cupful made, after boil
ing it fifteen minutes. She said she
never drank any coffee that tasted as
good, and now coffee is banished from
both our homes" Name given by

butchers arrested did not try to make
their places of business secure against
the entrance of the pests, and they
