THE DIFFERENCE
Coffee Usually Means Sickness but
Postum Always Means Health.

Those who have never tried the
experiment of leaving off coffee and
drinking Postum in its place and in
this way regaining health and happi-
ness can learn much from the expert
ence of others who have made the
trial.
One who knows says: 81 drank
coffee for breakfast every morning

gestion producing days of discomfort
and nights of sleeplessness. l tried
to give up the use of coffee entirely
but found it hard to go from hot
coffee to a glass of water. Then L

Passenger Motor Cars.

Several railways running out of
Chicago have been testing passenger
motor cars The Rock Island has
been using an oil burner. On August
8 it received ''gas electric" car, and
some officers of the road with invited
guests made trial trip from the La
Sale street station to Bureau, ILL.,,
and back.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fee also has one of the gas-electric
cars, and a part of it's officers made a
trip in it one day last week. This car
is to be put in service on the Southern
Kansas division. The Santa Fe has
also been trying steam motor car.
The Rock Island expects soon to have
six motor cars of different designs in
service on its lines.-Railroad Age

USE FOR ANTIQUES.

The use found for antiques" is
sometimes amusing. Recently a gor-
geous soft cushion was worked by a
fashionable woman from an old en-
broidered waistcoat, inherited from a
French ancestor, who had been a cele-
brated beau and bon vivant. AS the
corners did not quite reach to the
cushion corners she supplemented the
waistcoat, which was of salmon satin,
with pieces from a priests vestment
that she had picked up with some
Chinese loot, using it also for the
back. The pockets, with their silver
lace, she left to tuck her handker-
chief in when reading on the divan
it was to ornament.-New York

No Alarm.

At the hotel in Sea Cliff where !
was putting in fortnight, there was
a man that I spotted as mean. Every
day l looked for him to break out
and say or do something to make the
rest of us uncomfortable, and though
he kept delaying, l did not change
my opinion of him. At length the eX-
plosion came. He had been down to
the news stand and returned with a
paper in his hand. He sat down
amid group of us, fastened his gaze
on an innocent-looking young man
for moment, and then said:
Gentlemen, another employee of
bank up in the city has gone wrong"
I was watching the young man,
but he did not turn pale.
How was it?' someone asked.
Got away with $45, 000," replied
the mean man.
The young man did not actually
yawn, but he took no interest.
Ibid he get clean away"
HE did, but the police are on his
trail and he will be caught. In fact,
I may say he is caught
but where-how?"
Fright here among us!'
The young man lighted cigarette
with hand that did not tremble,
and after a moment the mean man
rose up and said:
eff there is a bank employe among
us let him stand up
The young man stood up.

man said he guessed he'd take a

One Who Answered.

The man was a well-dressed and
lntelligent-looking man. He had
come out of the postoffice, and he
stood on the steps and gazed steadily
across the street until he had stopped
80 pedestrians, who also gazed and
inquired of each other what they
were gazing at. Then the mean man
took off his hat, made bow to those
around him and began:
Gentlemen, during the late dis
cussion of the tariff all of you read
about advalorem in connection with
it. I now ask you what the meaning
of the term is?''
No one answered. Fifty more
persons came up and stopped, and
the mean man raised his voice and
asked:
Cad valorem, gentlemen-who
can tell me what ad valorem is?''
The silence was painful, Then %
more men halted and whisperingly
asked who was dead, and the mean
man wiped his heated brow and call
ed out:
Gentlemen, there are old men
and young men here. There are
men of erudiction and intelligence.
I am asking what ad valorem
means?"
Those men of erudition and in
telligence looked at each other in a
sheepish way and took no chances.
The crowd increased to 200, and
again the mean man demanded to
know what ad valorem meant. 1t
was then, and while at least half of
the crowd were thinking of tearing
him limb from limb, that a newsboy
held up his hand and then piped:

Africa and has sent him over to the
