FIT THE GROCER
Wife Made the Suggestion.

A grocer has excellent opportunity
to know the effects of special foods
on his customers. A Cleveland
grocer has a long list of customers
that have been helped in health by
leaving off coffee and using Postum
Food Coffee.
He says, regarding his own expe-
rience: 1.-TWO years ago had been
drinking coffee, and must say that I
was almost wrecked in my nerves.
Particularly in the morning l was
so irritable and upset that l could
hardly wait until the coffee was
served, and then had no appetite for
breakfast, and did not feel like at
tending to my store duties.
"One day my wife suggested that
inasmuch as was selling so much
Postum there must be some merit in
1t and suggested that We try it.
took home package and she pre-
pared it according to directions. The
result was very happy one. My
nervousness gradually disappeared, and
today am all right l would advise
everyone afflicted in any way with
nervousness or stomach troubles, to
leave off coffee and use Postum Food

WAS SAVED BY LINCOLN.
Strange Case of Franklin w. Smith
of Boston.

That an innocent man could be ar;
committed to a fortress without a
hearing, tried by court-martial, though
a civilian, found guilty against the
evidence produced and sentenced to
Imprisonment, seems hardly possible
to the present generation, who asso-
ciate such things Only with the pages
Of fiction
Yet this was the experience of
Franklin w. Smith, one of the found
ers of the Boston Young Mems Chris
tian association, now a resident of
Washington. But for the timely inter-
vention of President Lincoln, Mr..
Smith might not now be following his
present profession as an architect;
indeed, he might have worn out his
life in a dungeon cell, like some un-
happy victim in the infamous prison
of the Bastile under Louis XVI. Of
France.
Mr. Smith suffered from a conspira-
cy that could have existed only when
the country was disturbed by war,
says the Boston Globe. BY this cabal
his innocence was made to appear in
the eyes of the government officials
who dealt with his case as the black
est guilt.
The conspirators were contractors
dealing with the government, with
whom Mr.. Smith had clashed, and they

An Incident Of His Trust In tke
Nations Ultimate Victory.

AS illustrative of Mr.. Lincoln's su,

Gen. o. o. Howard in Century
In the largest room in the White
House, on the second floor, were gath
cred number of officers of the army,
then Of prominence by reason of the
commands that they held in the field;
many civilians who held no Office, but
who had come from the north to see
Washington and pay their respects to
Mr.. Lincoln, and perhaps get contracts
essential to running the government;
and few members of congress.
At first 1t appeared more like a
large reception, where, after shaking
hands, people stayed to chat with one
another Not far from Mr. Lincoln, a
prominent senator, whom we may call
Senator D., in strong, deep voice,
remarked, Il believe that, if we could
only do right az a people, the Lord
would help US and we should have e
decided success in this terrible strug
gle" Mr.. Lincoln, hearing the re.
mark of the senator, with his clear,
shrill enunciation, cried out: my
faith is greater than yours"
Everybody turned and looked at the
president, who was head and shoul
ders above all there assembled. The
senator who had spoken then said:
How so, Mr. Lincoln?"
II am confident" said he, that God
will make us do sufficiently right to
give us the victory"

MAN WITH CAMERA EYEs.
Detective Sheridan of New York Can
Name 100000 Men.

What weuld you say OF a gentleman,
who, having looked once into the face
Of each of those soldiers that made up
the grand army which Napoleon took
to Russia, and being told the soldiers
name, would know him, name and
face, two years, ten years, twenty
years later? Think of a gentleman
who could thus have called the mus
ter roll of an army of 100000 men.
Such, however would Seem to be the
fell power of eye and memory which
belongs to Detective William P. Sher-
idan of Mulberry street, the Man with
the Camera Eyes" and a low estimate
declares that he has filed away in his
brain, each tagged with the proper
name, the pictures of no fewer than
100000 men.
Criminals are forever changing their
names and hiding their pasts. 1t is
worth while to do SO in New York,
where the oft-convicted criminal gets
finally life sentence. Other detec-
tives capture, but cannot recall them.
That is the place where Mr.. Sheridan
dovetails in.-Broadway Magazine.

-Cuticura's Efficacy Proven.

II am now so years old, and three
years ago l was taken with an at
tack of piles (hemorrhoids), bleeding
and protruding. The doctor said the
only help for me was to go to a
hospital and be operated on. l tried
several remedies for months but did
not get much help. During this time
sores appeared which changed to a
terrible itching eczema. Then l began
to use Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and
Pills, injecting quantity of Cuticura
Ointment with Cuticura Suppository
Syringe. 1t took a month of this
treatment to get me in fairly healthy
state and then 1 treated myself once
a day for three months and, after that,
once or twice a week The treatments
I tried took lot of money, and 1t is
fortunate that used Cuticura. ]. H.

Necklace Was Really Of Value

w. H. c.. (Pendeen) sends US a
strange anecdote. A friend of his,
when student in a Dublin hospital,
was able to show some attention to an
old woman who was very i'll and had
formerly kept coffee stall. One day
she asked him to accept a necklace,
which she said had belonged original
ly to Marie Antoinette, who had given
it to an attendant at the French court,
who had passed 1t on to a relative of
the old woman. He refused because
he thought it was only composed of
green glass and that the story was nc
more genuine than the necklace. Pres.
emily the old woman died and her few
effects were sold by the landlord for
rent. At first no bid was made for
the necklace, but two dealers bidding
against each other brought the price
up to e5. Eventually the necklace be.
came the property Of Lord Rosebery,
who presented it to the countess of
Crewe on her marriage.-John Bull

One on Doctor Lee.

oldtime friend fine turkey.

ster, them drumsticks is big enough
to beat a bass drum. Where did
such turkey come from?"
He was told that Dr. Lee had sent it.
"The same one whose name is on
the front page of the four big Bibles
with the pictures in them?"
By that was meant the "Self.Inter-
preting Bible" edited by DR.. Lee.
A newly arrived youngster asked:
"Where'd he come FROM" meaning
the turkey.
"The man who wrote the Bible sent
it, was the quick reply of the little
fellow.
Why" said the questioner, God
wrote the Bible"

One Man at Least Grateful to the

Il knew a man out west who had
the right idea about it. His father
had made a great fortune in the pork
packing business. The heir was not
puffed up by his millions. Long after
he had grown accustomed to the
money and might reasonably be ex-
pected to look down on butchers, if in
walking in the country with his chill
dren they saw a drove of hogs on the
road, he would make his little boys
stand at attention and take off their
hats. I want them to respect the

De Organs Busted,

In little church in Maryland, not
far from Washington, the motive pow
er for the organ comes from the strong
arm Of an industrious Irishman.
During recent service there the
choir got into trouble and, to cap the
climax, during the confusion that en-
sued, the organ suddenly stopped.
The situation was not greatly re-
lieved when there came floating out
into the auditorium hoarse whisper:

Be happy! Be happy in spite OF
everything. When person is not
happy he is failure in life. To
be happy is to be normal, and the
normal people are those who come out
on top in the long run. Nature and
human nature detest abnormal things,
and unhappy people are certainly alb
normal people. Happiness is two
things-a good habit and a spiritual

HOUSE
work

Thousands of American women
in our homes are daily sacrificing
their lives to duty.
In order to keep the home neat
and pretty, the children we'll dressed
and tidy, women overdo. A female
weakness or displacement is often
brought on and they suffer in silence,
drifting along from bad to worse,
knowing well that they ought to
have help to overcome the pains and
aches which daily make life a burden.
1t is to these faithful women that
