the New York Tribune. Directly op-

out. The other. equally well dressed,
took little longer time over his cof.

as he was about TO rise he furtively
passed his hand over to the dime In
front OF his former neighbor's plate
and moved il to a position in front of

The waiter a moment later picked up
the dime, noting before whose plate

Feeding Farm Hands.

Every farmers wife knows what ire
nendous appetites farm hands usually
have; but while they eat well they
work well. too. 5
Here's a good suggestion about feed
ing farm hands. Give them plenty Of
Quaker Scotch Oats. A big dish OF
Quaker Oats porridge with sugar and
cream or milk is the greatest break
fast in the world for a man who needs
vigor and strength for a long days
work The man that eats Quaker
Scotch Oats plentifully and often is
the man who does good work without
excessive fatigue. There is a sustain.
ing quality in Quaker Scotch Oats not
found in other foods. and for economy
II is at the head Of the list. To meet
needs OF those in different climates
Quaker Scotch Oats is packed in regu-
lar size packages and Theoretically
sealed tins; the latter for hot climates.

oIo-TImE PRINTER RECALLS HIS
sAooesr MOMENT.
lonesome Half Dollar. All the Worldly
Wealth Possessed by His chum
and Himself. Went Down to
the Fishes.

A group OF old-time journeymen
printers the other night we're describ-
ing their wanderings up and down and
across the map of the United States
and pointing the descriptions OF their
journeys with little hard-luck stories
Of their own experiences here and
there. A little gray man with a high
forehead. who had been listening
meekly all evening to the reminis-
eences Of the others finally was moved
to speech.
I've worked in newspaper Offices
and print shops in nearly every kind
OF burg in this country from Father
knickerbocker's town 10 the shacks
Of Red Gulch. and have had to bat
ter gates once in a while for q little
broken grub" said he.
Il have been a little more than hun
cry at times. and used the side-door
Pullman in most OF my little journeys.
But I believe the saddest and most
hopeless moment OF my life was In
Chicago late In the fall of the year
OF the big Columbian exposition. Me
and a pal OF mine had drifted In
there from the wide southwest some
where and we we're both Just about
broke. Our clothes were getting thin
and the October breezes coming
across the lake were beginning to chill
US to the bone. But we dubbed to-
gether one day and raised enough TO
pey our admissions into the fair. We
were bound to see IL. although IL left
us one lonesome halfdollar between
the two Of US.
All day we tramped. feasting our
eyes on the marvels OF the big show,
and late in the afternoon we landed
back up town. with our heads full OF
Venetian lagoons and white palaces.
We still had the half dollar and In the
intervals Of recalling this and that
exhibit to each other We were plan
ming how to spend the so cents to the
best advantage. We were nearing the
Rush street bridge when We began to
laugh over the queer antics and man.

My pardner was mincins along

the 5o-cent piece. ran his hand into
his pocket and lifting II to his eye be-
gan using II as a monocle. Just at
the height Of his antics the half.dollar

year ago I was a wreck from
coffee drinking and was on the point
OF giving up my position in the school
room because of nervousness.
I was telling a friend about il ard
she said. We drink nothing at meal
time but Postum, and il is such a
comfort TO have something We can
enjoy drinking with the children
Il was astonished that she would
allow The children to drink any kind of
coffee. but she said Postum was the
most healthful drink in the world for
children as well as for older ones. and
that the condition of both the children
and adults showed that to be fact.
MY first trial was a failure. The
cook boiled it four or five minutes and
IL tasted so nat that was in despair
but determined to give il one more
trial This time we followed the direc.
tions and boiled II fifteen minutes aft
er the boiling began. Il was a decided
success and | was completely won BY
its rich delicious favour. In a shor,
time | noticed a decided improvement,
