Ma asturtjumS.

And now we have the glory of the
nasturtium. 1t is plentiful flower
and so beautiful that it should be a
constant ornament of the household.
How a great bunch of them in a jar
on the dinner table helps the feast!
They smile like the sunrise. They
make a meager meal a royal repast
They are the incarnation of the sun
beams, coming all the way from gold
en- MONDAY to rosy sunset, to give the
flowers their exquisite hues.
They are just the ornament for the
table-the smilingest flower in all the
garden. They make the beefsteak
tender, the cream richer and the bread
to taste better than pound cake. This
is veritably so. OF course, the old
codger who doesn't care for flowers
doesn't think so. What account are
they-one can't eat them or wear
them? We don't mean him. We speak
of those fair spirits that commune
with a flower, and get hold of its ideas
and make them a part of their lives

y WORKS
The laborer Eats Food That Would
Wreck an Office Man.

Men who are actively engaged at
hard work can sometimes eat food
that would wreck a man who is more
closely confined.
This is illustrated in the following
story:
81 was for IL years clerk in store
working actively and drank coffee all
the time without much trouble until
after I entered the telegraph service.
There got very little exercise and
drinking strong coffee, my nerves
were unsteady and my stomach got
weak and I was soon a very siak man
1 quit meat and tobacco and In fact
stopped eating everything which I
thought might affect me except coffee,
but still my condition grew worse, and
I was all but wreck.
81 finally quit coffee and COM
menced to use Postum a few years
ago, and I am speaking the truth
when / say, my condition commenced
to improve Immediately and today I
am well and can eat anything 1 want
without any bad effects, all due to
shifting from coffee to Postum.
81 told my wife today I believed
could digest brick if had cup Of
postum to go with it.
"We make it according to directions
boiling it full 20 minutes and use good
rich cream and it is certainly deli
cious."

"The Mouse" stepped from the dock
and walked noiselessly to the witness

his name curtly. The spectators

grew fluent and animated, falling into
gestures that unconsciously betrayed
the skilled pickpocket. His long,
supple fingers and his flexible wrists
were those of an artist in legerd omain

a constant contradiction to his story
of innocence. Instinctively his ges-
lures were those of a pickpocket of
rare skill, deftly relieving an absent

All in Fight Against tuberculosis.

Prevention of tuberculosis versus
dividends Is the proposition which
some of our largest insurance COM
paniss are now trying to establish.
The Metropolitan Life recently ap-
piled for permission to erect sana-
torium for its policy holders and en-
ployes afflicted with tuberculosis, but
the application was refused on grounds
Of illegality by New York State Super
intendent of Insurance Hotchkiss. The
company Is, however, conducting an
active educational campaign by dis
tributing 3,5OO,O0O pamphlets among
it's policy holders. The Provident

also established health bureau,
where it's policy holders may receive
free medical advice. Several fraternal

Cheerfulness.

Cheerfulness is thing to be more

genius ever inspired or talent ever

spontaneous cherriness is deliberate,

which we can create, can cultivate
and can so foster and cherish that

er suspect that it was not an heredi.

Chance for Some Prjncess

History is always repeating itself.
It is most unoriginal, but never more
60 than when young king sets out to
pay visits to superior monarchs.
There is always marriage in the royal
eye. Manuel II. of Portugal does not
precisely a-wooing go, but if he finds
a bride in England no one will be
surprised. King Alfonsos successful
matrimonial venture will inspire this
other boy kings mother, at least, to
always welcome. At all events the
calling tour" of King Manuel arouses
speculation, and must prove a god

EIberfeId Gets Spiked AGAIN.

By the way, with player of the
speed and agility of Elberfeld, it
seems as if he should be able to ge'
runners without subjecting himself to
the liability of being cut down every
time that a man comes toward second
feet foremost. Elberfeld plays to
make the man sure. No one doubts
the sincerity and the loyalty of his
work to the club to which he belongs,
but it is better to put runners out of
the way and not be spiked than it is
to save one game and perhaps mad
vertently be an accessory to losing
the next four or five because of 80

Much rot has recently been writ,
and wags have rent their brains asun-

this dreadnaught lid the girls hide un-

so? They do not have to sweat be-
meath it. Is it because the fellows
know the landscape has been robbed

ladies' lids, and care not what your
choice or vote is; it's not what's on
but in girls heads that makes us sit
up and take notice.-Bard of Benzie.

Van HaItren an oId-Timer.

George Van Haltren, the former
New York giant, who has been secured
as scout by the Pittsburg club, is "A
years old and up to the time that he
was released by the Oakland club OF
the Pacific Coast league he had the
distinction of being one Of the Oldest

one of the most interesting. He was
connected with fast baseball company
for "a years, and in that dme he
forged to the front as one of the lead
ing lights of the national pastime
The Ely miner., 1909-09-03

Originally, Van Haltren was catcher,
but later became pitcher. He lost
his speed as twirler and devoted his
time to the outfield and infield. He
was fast and could cover a lot OF
ground. Furthermore, he was good
batter.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 25.-By
far the most interesting and spectacu-

thus far was the cross-examination of
Col. Duncan b. Cooper today. The
fiery old gentleman answered eacn

he wanted to. Col. Cooper's attorneys
can dc nothing with him. The same
dominant spirit that has characterized
his movements throughout his life is
In evidence with hi mas witness.
Time and again as the states attor-

questions at him to which his counsel
arose TO object, Col. Cooper would
wave his attorneys to their seats with

enG would say:

At times when counsel for the de-
Tense would object to the states at
torney pressing the witness. Col
Cooper would again answer, saying:
That's all right; l encourage that
Col. Cooper's examination was di
rected to ascertain II he had taken
notice OF any other mean things any
body else had said about him save
Senator Carmack; II he had resented
any others. He said he took notice
OF them all.
He denied that he controlled the
Democratic state convention or that
he was powerful political factor in
the state.
