IT 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:
Il was for twelve years clerk in a
store, working actively, and drank cof-
fee all the time without much trouble
until after entered the telegraph serv-
ice.
There I got very little exercise and
drinking strong coffee, my nerves grew
unsteady and my stomach got weak and
was soon a very sick man. 1 quit
meat and tobacco and in fact 1 stopped
eating everything which I thought
might affect me except coffee, but still
my condition grew worse and I was all
but a wreck.
Il finally quit coffee and commenced
to use Postum a few years ago and
am speaking the truth when I say nv
condition commenced to improve imme-
diately and today l am well and can
eat anything 1 want without any bad
effects, all due to shifting from coffee

could digest a brick if 1 had a cup of

below the standard required by the pure

the girls did not come, for they We're
still asleep in the chest.
Carl knew where they were, but did
not tell the children. The children
hunted high and they hunted low, but
they could not find Mary and Jessie.
Finally mamma thought of looking
in the garnet. She looked every place
she could think of looking in, but she
did not find them.
Carl thought perhaps he ought to tell,
so he said: Look in the chests; per-
haps they are there
Then mamma opend tn lid, and
sure enough there was Mary and Jes-
sic fast asleep.
The children all laughed at seeing
this sight. Mamma awakened the two
girls. But what do you think? When
they went to get out they could hardly
move, they were so cramped from lying
in the chest.
Mary expected to find herself in
coffin, while Jessie expected to be pull
ing candy downstairs.
Mary never wanted to hide in the
chest again after such a bad dream.
They had a nice time in the evening
at playing games and pulling candy,
and each had piece of cake and a lit
tie bag OF candy to take home.

The other children, getting tired of
waiting, joined in the search. They
knew that Mary, Jessie and Carl had
not gone outside, for it was raining
much too hard for that The little
guests hunted high and low all over
the house for the three missing ones;

the meantime every one was in,
and as the catcher could not find
Mary or Jessie or little Carl they
all helped They looked every place,
but could not find them, so one Of the
girls called Jessie's mother and told
her they could not find the children
and that they were getting frightened
over it.
That worried the mother and she
looked, too. Still they could not be
found, and the children as well as the
mother were becoming very much
alarmed. Just then the father came in,
and after things were explained to
him and he, too, had looked every
where, he thought of the pet dog Tip,
who had loved the children so much
and who had often played hide and
seek with them. He opened the door
and let Tip in and said: Tip go get
Mary and Jessie"
The faithful dog seemed to under
stand at once, and started to hunt. He
soon got the scent and started on the
run here and there. They all tried TO
keep up with him, but could not, AMI

ONE Saturday Mary and Jes.
~ sizes little cousin, Carl, came
to spend the day. He was
quite a little fellow and they
wanted to do something that he
would enjoy; SO they planned a
trip to the parks to see the ami
mails, but the day dawned cold
and rainy, and it soon became
apparent that a trip was impos-
Sible.
The children were greatly
disappointed and they asked
mamma what they could do.
Mamma laughed and replied
that she had invited six or seven
little friends over for the after
noon and evening. There were
many games to play during the
afternoon and in the evening
there was to be candy pull.
The children were delighted
and spent most of the morning
planning the afternoon enter
tainment.

Mary, Jessie and Carl, but in
vain. At last the three woke up
from their sleep. On finding it was
dark in the garnet, they hurried down
stairs.
The children were very much sur
prised to see Them they told the three
children that they had hunted until
they had become tired. The three chill
dren told them where they had hidden
and how they had become tired of
waiting and had fallen to sleep. Mary
and -Jessie's mother hurried to get the
party ready that she had promised
them.
They had cocoa, three or four differ

dessert that Mary and Jessie's mother
had made.
After supper their mother made can

was o'clock the children went home,

Finally some one suggested

boys was chosen as cit"
Mary and Jessie started down
the hall with the rest, but Carl
pulled Mary's sleeve to stop her
and whispered, Come with me,
you and Jessie. I've found the
best place to hide" and then led
them up the stairs to the garnet.
Entering, Carl ran to two large
oaken chests which stood under
the caves, and lifting the lids,
motioned the girls to get in.
Then he climbed in after Jessie
and pulled the cover down after
him.
For a long time they lay there
shaking with laughter. Down be-
low they could hear the shouts
of the children as they ran over
the house, but little by little the
three, lulled by the patter of the
rain on the roof, and tired by
their play, dropped off to sleep.

FRANK, the boy that was 1T, told
the girls mother that he could not find
them, and if it would be fair for him to
get the rest of the children to help him
find the girls and Carl. Their mother
said that it would be all right.
So they all hunted every place but
the garnet. They hunted for almost
an hour, but could not f1ndw them, and
then Frank went and told the girls
mother about it, and the two ladies
started to help to find them.
Carts mother told two of the boys
to go out in the barn and in the shed,
to see if the girls and Carl were there.
Finally they decided to search the
and down came Mary and Jessie and
then Carl, half asleep. They all laughed
at the three. Then they were called,

things. They all had good time and
went home, each having quite lot of

While Mary was sleeping she
dreamed she was buried alive in cof-

coffin put down in the ground.
OF course, this is not very pleasant
dream, and she would talk in her

While Mary was dreaming Carl and
Jessie were dreaming also. Jessie was
having a more pleasant dream. She
was dreaming of pulling candy and
having a lovely time.
Carl had not been asleep very long
until he woke up. He opened the lii

the two girls were asleep.
He went downstairs where the chill
dren were, and the children were call

Wisconsin Politics

Newspaper correspondents in both
Washington and Madison, throw
out little political gossip occasion
ally that is of a more or less enter
tanning character, whether or not in
the end it proves to be true.
1t was given out from Madison
last week that Gov. Davidson is not
now being seriously considered as
a candidate for the United States
Senate, and that E. A. Edmonds,
chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee, is still a Sen
atorial candidate. IF the talked of
deal with the Democrats does not
materialize, it is probable that the
so-called Stephenson faction will
write in support of Mr.. Edmonds.
Of course Senator La Toilette is
candidate for reelection, and no
true friend of his, or of the cause
which he represents will imperil his
chance of success by becoming a
progressive" candidate against
him.
Senator George R. Hudnall of Su-
perior is now being groomed as the
candidate Of the Stephenson faction
for Governor. If Hudnall is
shrewd politician, he will not close
any gubernatorial deal until he
learns something about Gov. David
sons plans. The Governor has a
strong personal following, and if
the politicians should decide to
shelve him prematurely, against his
wishes, he can make them trouble.
Francis E. McGovern of Milwaukee,
and Senator Morris Of La Crosse,
have been suggested as good guber-
Material timber for the La Toilette
wing Of the party.
The Legislature meets again next
and this will again bring
the politicians together. At that
time, there will undoubtedly be some
slate-making done, and political
plans will become somewhat crys-
tallized for the next campaign.

What Next?

The developments Of the past
four months in Washington, during
which political party lines have be-
come somewhat tangled have caused
the press correspondents there to
commence figuring upon new poll
tical alignments involving the or
ganization of new party to be
known as the Progressive party.
AS indicated by the name suggested,
the proposed new party would be
composed Of those who endorse the
principles for which the so-called
insurgents in both houses of Con-
gress are contending-the interests
of the common people.
If party traditions could be oblit-
Grated, and all who cherish these
principles united under single
banner, early results could be at
tanned. Tie amalgamation of two
political factions holding the same
views, when belonging to two differ
ent political parties, however, is far
more easily accomplished at news
paper reporters desk, than in fact.
Although the difference between
Republican and Democratic Nation
al platforms has for years been be-
coming less marked, and they were
practically identical in 1908, party
lines were as decisiyely drawn by
the party leaders last year, as pre-
viously.
Until within the past four months,
the common people have not fully
realized how we'll fortified are the
special interests in Congress. This
has been shown by the successful
fight made by Senator Aldrich fol-
higher tariff duties, when the peo-
pie had been promised a reduction
in the tariff schedule.
These special interests will keep
the common people from uniting in
a common cause self-protection-
just as long as they can do SO
Both real and imaginary differences
will be dilated upon to keep the
people divided, in order that such
special interests may feel more
secure. Knowing this, the people
may be able to get together.
