Zeppelin Airship Damaged.

Goephingen. June 1.-After cover ing a distance of about $50 miles in 37 hours, Count Zeppelin's new airship on it's return from Bitterfeld 10 Fried ricshafen, came to grief in an open field near here yesterday. In maneu- vering for landing, the airship came in contact with a tree and its position was very dangerous. The damage to the ship is much more serious than at first thought. A cursory examina- tion after the accident showed that the envelope had been torn and it was thought the injuries could be re- paired and that the vessel would pro ceed. A more careful examination, however, disclosed the fact that the prov was broken and that a consid- erable time must elapse before the journey could be continued.

ONE THING THAT WAS CERTAIN
No Doubt in the Engagements Mind as to Contents of What Looked
 Like Coffin.

In an emergency the manufacturer or Limburger cheese was forced to use strategy with a shipment Ordi- narily his product went in special oars, but in this instance no car was available and the order must be filled. Two hundred pounds of the fragrant comestible was put in rough, ob- long box. and taken to the railroad baggageroom. Then the manufactur- er bought ticket for himself and the box, and entered the train. At the
 first stop he went ahead to the bag gage car to see that there was no trouble. He stood by the box in a disconsolate attitude and shaded his eyes with his hand. The baggageman was sympathetic. "A relative?" he asked "Yes," answered the manu- facturer, "it is my brother" "Well," :" said the railroad man, philosophically, you have one consolation He's dead, all right."-San Francisco Argonaut.

NOT A MATTER OF LOYALTY.
Simple But Insuperable Reason Why Subject Could Not kneel
 Befcre His King.

One fancies that few types of men. can. from time to time, have afforded royalty more amusement of quiet sort than provincial mayors of Eng land. From the Foreland to Pen zance," by Give Holland. contains the story of mayor of Weymouth who, during one of the visits of King George to the town, was destined to afford comic relief to a ceremony of some importance
 The occasion was the presentation of an address of welcome to the king, and We are told that the mayor, on ap- preaching to present it, to the aston ishment and dismay of all, instead of kneeling. as he had been told to do, seized the queens hand to shake it as he might that of any other lady.
 Col Gwynne, the master of the cere- monies, hurriedly told him of the faux pas, saying: You should have kneeled, sir
 Sir, cannot" was the reply.
 Everybody does, sir" hotly asserted the colonel
 The mayor grew red, and evidently much upset. exclaimed: "Confound it, sir. but I've got a wooden leg"
 History records that "a smile suf- fused the face of her majesty. and the king laughed outright" Com- panion.

OVER THE FENCE Neighbor Says Something.

The front yard fence is a famous council place on pleasant days. Maybe to chat with some one along the street, or for friendly gossip with next door neighbor Sometimes it is only small talk but other times neighbor has something really good to offer.
 An old resident of Baird, Texas, got some mighty good advice this way once.
 He says:
 Drinking coffee lief. me nearly dead with dyspepsia, kidney disease and bowel trouble, with constant pains in my stomach, back and side, and so weak I could scarcely walk.
 "One day was chatting with one of my neighbors about my trouble and told her 1 believed coffee hurt me. Neighbor said she knew lots of people to whom coffee was poison and she pleaded with me to quit it and give Postum trial. I did not take her advice right away but tried a change of climate, which did not do me any good. Then I dropped coffee and took up Postum.
 My improvement began immediate. ly and I got better every day I used Postum.
 My bowels became regular in two weeks, all my pains were gone. Now am well and strong and can eat any. thing I want to without distress. All of this is due to my having quit cof. fee, and to the use of Postum regu. larly.
 My son who was troubled with indi. gestion thought that if Postum helped me so, It might help hiGa. 1t did, too and he is now well and strong again.
 We like Postum as well as we ever liked the coffee and uss it altogether in my family in place of coffee and all keep we'll" There's a Reason" Read ''The Road to WellYille," in Pkgs.

across the street was soon assured that their apparel did not belle their simple character. for at the woman's solicitation. her companion brought a purse from an inner pocket and count ing out several bills, handed them to the party who had accosted him. re- ceiving the copper brick in exchange for the bills
 The moment the trade was closed, the woman thrust the brick into ca pacious bag which she carried on her arm, then. seizing her companion by the sleeve. she hurried him along in the direction of Grand Central.
 The man in the doorway hastily re- crossed the street and rejoined his companion. The latter had turned in- to an entry and seated himself on the lowest step, his face mottled with suppressed laughter.
 Well, what's the deal?"
 The man on the step displayed a small roll of bills. "A four-fusher for the gold brick. Bill" he hic- coughed. Hiram was suspicious. but Cynthia pulled out hatpin and scratched the bloomin' copper. It looked good to the old girl, so Hiram digs up the price. Easy as easy."

The Gold Brick
By DON MARK LEMON
Copyright. 1909. by Daily Story Pub. co)

The two men stepped from the curbstone to cross the street, when the heavier mans right boot toe came in contact with an object lying in the gutter He swore softly. as he noted that he had scuffed a bit of patented surface from the toe of his shoe
 His companion stopped and picked up the offending object. It was about the size and shape of fire brick. and quite heavy.
 Better get it in the toe than in the neck" he laughed. tossing the object to the other man. Its a gold brick, Jim"
 The man whose shoe had been scuffed miscalculated the. weight of the brick, and it slipped from his hold and fell on his left foot He did not swear softly this time, for the brick weighed about 30 pounds.
 You'll pay thousand for your kiddin'l" he growled, caressing his injured foot. Got the money on you?"
 His companion laughed. Keep the brick, Jim, and sell it for two thou sand. That's your lay, ain't it?"
 'What?" demanded the other.
 tSellin' gold bricks"
 The heavier man put down his foot He could no longer support himself on one leg, without hopping about the street to maintain his equilibrium, and he was too full-blooded for such gym nastics.
 m sell it all right, all right" he growled. And not a red cent for you" He picked up the offending brick and struck it with his knuckles Copper sure as Fifth avenue hits Broadway. Fell off some team. Ought to bring couple O dollars" He glanced along the street to locate a pawn shop, when suddenly he turned to his companion and commanded hoarsely: Side step! Hiram and Cynthia"
 The shorter man immediately crossed to the opposite side of the street. where he placed himself in a doorway and watched his partner ac- cost a man and woman passing along the sidewalk. displaying the copper brick to them and gesticulating as if laboring under no little excitement.
 By their dress the pair evidently were country folks, and the green goods man standing in the doorway
