REMINDED HIM OF HOME.
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 FL Paso, Texas. Every one was
delighted with its picturesqueness,
and in particular a maiden lady, who
went into raptures about each new
sight.
at is all so quaint" she said. These
adobe houses, the old church, the mar
row streets, the little plaza, those
dreadfullooking men wearing SOM
breros; everything breathes the spir-
it of an old-world civilization. 1t is
so different from our United States"
That's So" assented a 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 1t
were, with the essence of pure JOY, as
that sign over there" He pointed
toward a whitewashed mud house on
whose exterior was painted:
BIGGEST BEER IN TOWN, Sc"
The woman eagerly turned to look,
Then she froze the horrid man with
a glance and did not speak to hin
again during the whole trip.

BANISH ED
Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to COT
fee 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 I 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 a slave to coffee
she thought it would be terrible to
give 1t 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
a taste.
"That started me on Postum and !
now drink 1t more freely than ! did
coffee, which never comes into our
house now.
"A girl friend of mine, n day, saw
me drinking Postum and asked II 1t
was coffee. / told her 1t 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 l could drink Postum. found
she had made 1t like ordinary coffee
So 1 told her how to make 1t right
and gave her a cupful ! made, after
boiling 1t fifteen minutes. She said
she never drank any coffee that tasted
as good, and now coffee is banishet
from both our homes" Name giver

ITCHING HUMoR ON BOY
His Hands Were a Solid Mass, and
Disease Spread All Over Body
Cured in q Days BY Cuticura.

zone day we noticed that u little
boy was all broken out with itching
sores. We first noticed it IN his 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
being so good for itching sores. By
this time the disease had spread all
over his body, and his hands were
nothing but a solid mass Of this itch
ing disease. l purchased a box of Cuti-
cura Soap and one box Of Cuticura
Ointment, and that night l took the
Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water
and washed him well. Then l dried
him and took the Cuticura Ointment
and anointed him with it. I did this
every evening and in four nights he
was entirely cured. Mrs. Frank Don

THE OLD JOCKEY
By Armiger Barclay


The old jockey is not so very old,
but chronic rheumatism and the acct
dent that put an end to his racing
career make him look it. 1t is many
a day since he sat in a two-pound sad
die and felt the mighty sinews of a
trained thoroughbred under him, or
knew the fierce rush and strain of a
hard-fought race.
But | remember him the beau ideal
of a medium-weight horseman, active
and fearless; and whenever l find my
self in the village where he is ending
life's race I stop for a chat, and to
listen to his memories Of the brave
days of long ago.
The little man receives me with the
easy, respectful manner that comes OF
association with the great ones of the
turf. AS he rises from the chair by
the fire his hand goes to the spot
where his forelock used to grow.
"Ay, sir, eight-thirteen as I am" he
says in answer to my usual question
for he still clings to the old, daily
habit of going to scale, and 1t would
disappoint him were / to forget it.
but I'm gettil' a bit suspicious of the
scales we at the mill. It's worryin'
to think that, perhaps, they're a few
ounces out. And to be weighed like a
sack of -four, too! Times have
changed"
| watch his eyes go sadly to the
corner where his six-ounce riding
boots-very old, but newly polished
stand with the trees in them; then tc
the worn racing saddle on its bracket
and the double-reined snaffie bride
that hangs below it. The leather is
glossy with soft soap, the stirrup
irons and bit as bright as new silver

after 20 years of disuse, but that never
occurs to the old jockey. They get
their weekly attention in readiness for
the mount that will never come.
"The weather, tool" he goes on.
Here's the first July meeting comm
on and I'm covered UP in fannels as IL
l was going for a sweat up the Lime
kilns! Seems strange to be sittin'
over the fire at midsummer and read
in of a cold Ascot, don't it, SIR"
"a strange Ascot altogether, Tom,"
/ agree.
He purses his thin lips severely.
"Ah, sir, you may well say that when
the gold cups took from under the
very eyes of the police and the stew
ards. Such a thing couldn't have hap
pened in my time. The gold cup!" he
gasps. Il should have liked to see the
race for 1t, though. The horses seem
to have made a good finish of it"
"And the riders" l suggest.
"Oh, the boys" he corrects. He al
ways speaks of present-day jockeys as
boys. Il don't know about them. l
don't hold, and never shall, with a
stirrup-leather six inches too short.
Yes. sir, know what you're goin' to
say about Sloan and the rest; but they
had the pick of the mounts and would
have got winnin' brackets whether
they rode short or long. Go anywhere
and watch a start, as l did two years
ago, and see how helpless every
blessed 10y is directly his mount
gives him n trouble. And then
when the flag falls--or this new gate
thing starts them. Hardly a n with
his horses hind legs properly Hnder
him! AS for gettin' the last ounce out
OF an animal at the finish, how's II
possible to hold him together, to feel
his heart beatin' through the saddle
flaps, to nurse him and push him when
you can't get your legs down to griT
and squeeze until you and the horse
are part of one a%nother?'

disappointed Younester Disseminated
In His Prayer.

Fer several weeks, little Ralph had
enjoyed the use of a Shetland pony,
the property of a horse dealer who
was a friend of the family. But much
to Ralph's sorrow, there came a day
recently when the pony was sold, and
the delightful horseback rides came
to a sudden end. che purchaser, as
Ralph found out by inquiry was a
little girl Of about his W mature
age of five. Ever since his acquaint-
ance with the pony began, Ralph had
included him in his bedtime prayer,
and God bless the pony was an
earnest nightly petition. The first
evening after the sale of the pony,
Ralph hesitated when he reached his
pets place in the prayer. Then, after
a moments thought, he continued:
please, God, bless the pony just
the same; but, God, don't you bless
the little girl what's got the pony"

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch we're used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because Of its great
er strength than other makes.
