him TO shift to Postum. II was easy
to get him to make the change for

I'VE soon learned that Postum doeE
not exhilarate nor depress and does
not stimulate. but steadily and honest

stomach.
ITO make a long story short, our en-.
tire family continued to use Postum
with satisfying results, as shown in

Hsrn,s a Good one.

A friend of mine told me Of curl
GUS experience. He was carefully
stalking big bull elephant in large
herd, when they got his wind, and a
big COW elephant charged him. He
jumped behind large tree as the
elephant reached him, and. being un-
able to stop herself in time, the ele-
phant drove her tusks with such force
into the tree that they snapped OF
close to her head. The elephant was
stunned for a moment. but luckily
turned and galloped after the fast re-
treating herd, leaving him the posses
sor of some 80 pounds of ivory. valued
at about $250.-Circle Magazine.

was still more severe than the
Miramichi. IL covered an area OF
over 1000 square miles in Wisconsin,
and involved a loss, in timber and
other property, OF many millions OF
dollars. Between 1900 and 1900 per.
sons perished. including nearly half
the population OF Peshtigo.
The most destructive fire OF more
recent years was that which started
near Hinckley, Mimi, September /,
1894. While the area burned over
was less than in some other great
fires. the loss of life and property
was very heavy. Hinckley and six
other towns were destroyed, about
500 lives were lost, more than 1000
persons were left destitute, and the
estimated loss in property of vari.
GUS kinds was $25,000,0 900. EXCEPT
for the heroic conduct of locomotive
engineers and other railroad men the
loss OF life would have been far
greater.
The means of fighting forest fires
are not everywhere the same, for
they burn in many different ways;
but in every case the best time, TO
fight a fire is at the beginning, before
it has had time to spread. A delay
of even very few minutes may per.
NIT a fire that at first could easily
have been extinguished to gather
headway and get altogether beyond
control.
When there is but thin covering
OF leaves and other waste on the
ground a fire usually cannot burn
very hotly or move with much speed.
The fires in most hardwood forests
are Of this kind. They seldom kill
large trees. but they destroy seedlings
and saplings and kill the bark OF
older trees in places near the ground
The hollows at the foot OF old chest
nuts and other large trees are often
the results OF these fires, which occur

SOLONS IN TURMOIL
Senator Thomas is Expelled fol

SPEAKER Is ASKED TO RESIGN
OficiaI Charged with Drawing Pay

Refuses and Calls Special
Session to Order.

AUSTIN, Tex, March 14.-Afte the sem
ate had expelled one of its members and
the house had requested the speaker to
resign, a request that was ignord, the
Thirty-fifth Texas Legislature was brought
to an end last night. 1t reconvened immedi-
ately in special session, when the differ
ences of the session just passed were at
once renewed. At a late hour tonight both
branches were still in session, with pros
poets of so remaining until tomorrow.
Bascom Thomas OF Sulphur Springs was
the senator to suffer expulsion. Several
times during the last session charges of
corruption were made by Senator Thomas.
A committee, after an exhaustive investi-
cation. however, declared the charges UNI
founded. Yesterday the charges were re-
peated, Senator Thomas declaring that
members of the senate and certain lobby
lists had been parties to irregular proceed
ings. Tonight the report OF a committee
declaring the charges without basis was
submitted and adopted. A resolution
charging senator Thomas with having ma
llciously maligned members Of the senate
came next, and hrs expulsion was voted.
Tonight Governor Campbell issued a proc
lamation calling a special election for April
s to select a successor to Mr.. Thomas, who
will be a candidate for reelection.
In the house equally as exciting events
transplred. The charges against Speaker
Kennedy were that he had secured the sal
aries of clerks not in attendance on the
legislature. A resolution was adopted, by
a vote of II to As. asking the resignation
Of the speaker. Instead of complying, the
speaker mounted the rostrum and declared
the house finally adjourned and immedi-
ately reconvened it in extra session.
