LORD GRET's NEW SECRETARY.
Lord LanesboFough. who has Just been
appointed to the post OF military secretary

seen in New York. Is lieutenant colonel Of
the Coldstream Guards. He has until now
been serving on the stan Of the Kings
brother. the DUKE OF Counaught. and sue
oeeded 10 ths family honors. which include

amounting 10 several thousand pounds.

had used his influence as the old peers

Lanesborough had neglected 70 take any
statement IN writing from the parson, 10

good netured loan. and on the strength OF
this tho clergyman advanced the theory
after the earrs death that il had been

feated and was condemned 20 refund the
full amount that he had obtained from the
late ear. besides being -oundly criticised

"COFFEE DOESN'T HURT Me"
Tales That Are Told.

Il was one of the kind who wouldn't
believe h a coffee was hurting me-"
says a n. Y. woman. You just couldn't
convince me its use was connected
with he heart and stomach trouble l
suffered from most Of the time.
My trouble finally got so bad |
had to live on milk and toast almost
entirely for three Or four years. Still
| loved the coffee and wouldn't believe
it could do such damage.
what | needed was to Quit coffee
and take nourishment in such form as
my stomach could digest.
Il had read much about Postum.
but never thought it would fit my case
until n day | decided to quit coffee
II give it a trial and make sure about
1t. So l got a package and carefully
followed the directions.
Soon | began to get better and was
able to eat carefully selected foods
without the aid of pepsin or other di-
gestants and it was not long before |
was really a new woman physically.
Now l am healthy and sound, can
eat anything and everything that
comes along and l know this wonder
change is all due to my having
quit coffee and got the nourishment I
needed through this delicious Postum.
MY wonder is why everyone don't
give up the old coffee and the troubles
that go with 1t and build themselves IN
as | have done, with Postum"
Easy to prove by 10 days trial of
Postum in place of coffee. The reward
is big.

A GREAT TRAGEDY
RECALLED
The RanCheria Massacre

On looking over history entitled "A
Volumne of Memories on Geneology of
Representative Citizens of Northern
California, | found an account of the
Rancheria massacre, by Peter Fisher,
that is so inaccurate that | deem it
worthy of correction. He goes on to
say that Mr. Francis was stabbed to
death, when in reality he was shot. He
says Mrs Deming was killed in the
massacre, when it was Mrs Dynan. He
calls Puckerville, that was Just below
Plymouth, Pokel lille. He says Bob
Cosner was deputy sheriff at the
time, when it was George Durham,
Cosner did not crop out as deputy till
several years later than 1855 | am
now going to write three letters for the
Legder, as know and heard of it, The
hanging of two MeXicans on a great
water oak, now dead, by mob, within
pistol shot of the old John Miller's
home, and the denouement of this tragedy
in the killing of John A. Phoenix,
sheriff, in a set battle with some Of the
bandits, following the massacre near
San Jose. Although boy in years, /
remember the massacre and shuddering
at its recital, am indebted to most of
the details to ice Gilbert and especially
to Nose Taylor, the very man that es-
capped the murderous gang on that fatal
October night in 1855. mined with
Taylor in the winter of 6l2. They fired
IS or 20 shots at him, but never touched
a hair of his head. The man is long
since dead or else he could come in
person and desprove the balderdash of
this enthusiastic narrator. The news of
the massacre spread like wildtire. 1t
sent thrill of terror through almost
everyone. Men of pluck shuddered at
its recital. NJ others clasped their in
fants to their bosom in mortal terror
Everyone armed himself, and many
bariacaded their doors. Such was the
