COFFEE DRINKING
Doctor Says it weakens tho Heart.

an my opinion" says we'll known
German physician, mo one can truth
fully say that coffee agrees with him,
as 1t has long since been proven that
caffeine, contained in coffee, is an in
furious, poisonous substance which
weakens and degenerates the heart
muscles.
For this reason the regular use OF
coffee, soon or late, causes condition
of undcrnouTishment, which leads to
various kinds Of organic disease.
Convinced of this fact, have often
sought for some healthful beverage to
use instead of coffee. At last l found
the thing desired in Postum. Having
had occasion to forbid people using
coffee, whose hearts were affected, l
have recommended Postum as a bev-
erage, since it is free from all injuri-
GUS or exciting substances. l know
this from results in my own family,
and among patients.
Hundreds of persons who now use
Postum in place of coffee, are greatly
benefited thereby" There's a Reason"

Turning fercely, the man glared at
her and snorted:
We'll, they charge ten cents, but 1t
amt wuth d-m!"
"Washouts on the road" was tho
word when we returned to the train,
and we must be switched south at
Newton, Kan We had visions OF the
Grand Canyon receding into the future
and darker ones of spending we knew
not how many days on the train. So
we looked about us to see what man
ner of people were to be our travelling
companions. They were certainly
varied.
Back Of us was an old Irish woman
1.-The pathetic sort that are peculiar to
County Down. She would conflde her
story in plaintive little monotone to
everyone.
ITO me daughter" she explained.
God knows l want some few days OF
sunshine before / go intirely. I'm not
strong and l ate nothin' at all, ye'd
wonder what live on. I've hao
nothin' the past three days but eight
bottles of Kumys, four bottles of wine
an a box of crackers. Think Of that,
now-just nothin' at all"
She went to one of the eating houses
along the way and not knowing they
would charge her for full meal, she

There is a morbid desire latent in
the breast of nine-tenths of humanity
to have it out with Fate, sooner or
later, and to best" her, If we can.
If the old lady has been particularly
lard on us. we feel that our grievance
is just about the worst ever; and then
we want to do something desperate
If we are in the neighborhood of eight
years or whereabouts, we fly to the
candy shop and sink our all In pepper
minis and gumdrops. If we are at the
romantic period, when love has every
thing else at a discount, we get real
reckless and say to our best girl,
Come! to the altar! Let us plunge!
Ho! there, installment man! rag-time
portieres and marble-top cradles for
ours!" Then, when we have done the
deed, were not sorry-no, indeed; only,
it entails responsibilities, and things;
and consequences-th inevitable con-
sequences, as Kipling puts it. So, let
ME give you little suggestion: When
the reckless fit overtakes you, start on
journey, IL not round the world
then round the back yard.
Now, that was what we thought
when we started to tour the world;
but, try as we would, we couldn't keep
our place in the procession. We
started for the Grand Canyon Of the
Colorado in Arizona that was to have
been our first stopping place. But we
were like the Irishman who started
out on a bet to shoot a certain bird;
He picked it up, and looked at it in
surprise. BE gobs!" he said, 81

way" The Grand Canyon was our
bird; we didn't hit it, but we knocked
the feathers off it in the way Of
divers unexpected adventures, as will
be shown. later.
The start was propitious, and every
thing progressed favorably, until Kan
sas City was reached. We arrived
early in the morning and were re-
quested by the conductor to get break
fast at the eating station. Yet that
man had seemed to be our friend!
There was youth at the quick
lunch counter who served coffee, and
there was maiden beside him who
occasionally changed plate.
The young mans running fire Of re-
marks to customers, and side compli-
ments to her, sounded something like
this:
See here! If you've finished, get a
move on and give somebody else a
show! Say, Name! there's one O. them
uptown girls that think so much oil

Rough Silks Fashionable.

After cloth there come many
charming costumes in rough silk,
some in plain weaves and some in
self,tone figures woven in Oriental
characters. One of the most attrac'
tive of the new silks is a satin-raced
shantung in natural and dyed colors
II is very appropriate for afternoon
toilettes, as it lacks the severity and
tailored suggestion found in the rough
faced silks.

 JACQUES
MY PARTNER" :"

The gripping western melodrama which Polls stock company is pre- senting this week at the Jacques, is one of the old style dramas which have always been so popular with theater goers. It tells a very dra- matic story and it's characters are plain, natural western people, the kind of folks who built up the great west and braved its rugged life in the early days. The story of the play has to do with two miners who are in love with the same girl, Mary Bran don. They quarrel and the affair is overheard by an interruptions schem- CT, who in turn murders one of the partners and the blame of the crime falls upon Joe Saunders, the other miner. Through four absorbing acts this story is worked out to a satisfac- tory ending. MT Hartford and Miss Nordstrom have the leading roles and the piece is. well worth witnessing. Next week the company will produce the drama of laughter, pathos and tears, Forgiven"

 Hotel Proprietor He Feared Violence
 at Hand of Man Interested In Revo-

 lice Trying to Find Woman For
 Whom Father Asencio Was Looking.
 New York, Sept IS. Information was received here which strengthens the theory that the Rev. Father Ar turo Asencio of Santo Domingo, who died in the Presbyterian hospital on Wednesday as result of pistol shot in Central park, was murdered and that there is nothing in the report that the priest committed suicide.
 ! It was learned that Father Asencio was in fear of being assassinated while he was guest at the Hotel h. glaterra, in West Fourteenth street,
 About a month ago the priest told Jose Gonzales. the proprietor of the hotel, that he was being followed by man whom he had known in Santo Domingo and whom he had met on different occasions in this city. Who the man was the priest did not say, other than that he was interested in a revolutionary. movement in Santo Do mingo. Dominicans who were ques- toned said they could not tell if Fla ther Asencio had anything to do with the political questions in his native country. '
 Father Aseneio," said Mir Gonzales, told me that he had been followed about town and that he thought 1t wise 10 purchase q pistol so as to be pre- pared for any encounter with the man who was shadowing him, Whether or not he did buy revolver I cannot tell"
 Police Looking For Woman.
 The police are particularly anxious to find the woman for whom Father Asencio was looking in West One Hun dred and Tenth. street shortly after his arrival here. Whether he found her has not been aseertained.
 Last Monday night. when Father Asencio parted with his friend. Alex ander Penzo, at Twenty-eighth street and Sixth avenue, the priest said that he would. go to One Hundred and Tenth street to see young woman with whom he had an engagement. It was less than an hour afterward that the priest was discovered in Central park. near One Hundred and Seventh street. with a pistol shot wound through his head.
 Santo Domingoans in this city do not believe that Father. .Asencio committed suicide. They say he had no cause for wanting to take his life.
