HERE GOES ANOTHER ILLUSION
"Fiddling Bob" Declares He Has NOT
Played for Many Years.

Another cherished illusion has been
shattered. Senator Taylor of Tennes-
see, lovingly called throughout the
union 'Ffddling Bob doesn't play the
fiddle after all. He has entered for
NAL denial. Pretty soon somebody will
be saying that Congressman Rich
mond Pearson Hobson of Merrimac
fame never kissed a pretty. young
hero worShiper. Representative
Hughes of New Jersey asked Senator
Taylor about his musical accomplish
mentS.

years." said the Tennesseean. THAT
fiddling story is all wrong 1 haven't
touched a bow for years.
Maybe you play the violin, them"
ventured Hughes.
"Oh, 1 never even saw one of those
darned things" retorted the senator.

FOUND A WAY
To Be Clear of the Coffee Troubles.

Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit and finally his stomach
and kidneys got in such bad condi-
ton that he was compelled to give up
a good position that he had held for
years. He was too sick to work. His
skin was yellow, and 1 hardly think
there was an organ in his body that
was not affected.
Il told him l felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee and after some dis
cussfon he decided to give it up.
1T was a struggle because of the
powerful habit. One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try it,
and then it was easy to leave off
coffee.
His fearful headaches grew less
frequent, his complexion began to
clear, kidneys grew better until at
last he was a new man altogether as
a result of leaving of coffee and TAX
ing up Postum. Then / began to
drink it, too.
Although 1 was never as bad OF
as my husband, 1 was always very
nervous and never at any time very
strong, only weighing 95 lbs. before
I began to use Postum. Now weigh
lis lbs. and can do as much work as
anyone my size. I think
MANY do not use Postum because
they have not taken the trouble to
make it right I have successfully
fooled a great many persons who have
drunk it at my table They would

SONGS OF CIVIL WAR.
Some "reminiscences of Those Sung in
Camp in the SOS.

The songs g the civil war-songs
sung in the camps by the soldiers
We're not all war songs" said the
colonel. Il remember one of the prime
favorites, and it was well worth while
to hear the chorus of it as it was
sung around the campfires in the
evenings before taps. The name of it
was The Cottage by the Sea- and it
gives me a homesick feeling now just
to think of it's swelling chords and
long-drawn notes."
Talk about being homesick," spoke
up a Kentucky man, an old confeder-

ate soldier who dearly loves smoke
and a gossip with the former colonel
of an Illinois regiment. Talk about
being homesick, 1 was a prisoner of
war out here in Camp Douglas, and
we had a song which one of US had
written to the music of The Cottage
by the Sea- and it's refrain was some
thing like this:
land our. loyal hearts are lonely,
At Camp Douglas, Camp Douglas, by the
lake
There was a song which ran all
through the south just before the
war" the major continued, land it
was taken up by the Johnnies and
sung 'and whistled and hummed until
1t seemed almost like something espe
cially written for us. Yet it was but
a love song, 'Lorena'-perhaps you've
heard it,
Heard it, Indeed, it was one of
our songs, too,' said the colonel. The
bands used to play it, and it was a
favorite around our campfires. Then
we had a lot of echo-waking thrillers,
like The Sword of Bunker HILL The
Old Arm Chair My Mothers Bible
aside from the songs called out by the
war 1 would give a good deal to hear
again one of the plantation songs i'm
provised by some of the first contra
bands that came into our lines. 1t
ran something like this:
u Sell my mule an saddle
I'm bound to join the army.
Sell my mule an saddle,
I-aye, I-aye.
Sell my mule an saddle,
For the union I'll skedadd1e
10. I-aye, the boys from Linkums land!'
Then harness up your mules,
struck in the ex-confederate, and the
two finished the wild and wandering
melody together, interspersed with
whoops and turns such as plantation
darkies alone know how to invent
"I remember" said the colonel after
the singing had ended, both veterans a
little out of breath, when Tramp
tramp, tramp first struck the front
and when you couldn't keep the very
pickets on duty from humming it
Marching Through Georgia was remi
niscent. Not one of the war songs al
all, many suppose, but it does sci
the feet to keeping time as no other
tune does.''
But now the confederate looked g
little sad, and the colonel FASTENED
to say that of all the songs of NORTH
or south there were none which ap
preached in poetry, saving THE Bat
tie Hymn of the Republic" the fiery
spell of Maryland, My Maryland

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were 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 tie
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.
