AN OLD TIMER Has Had Experiences.

A woman who has used Postum since it came upon the market knows from experience the wisdom of us ing Postum in place of coffee if one values health and a clear brain. She says:
 At the time Postum was first put on the market I was suffering from nervous dyspepsia, and my physician had repeatedly told me not to use tea or coffee Finally I decided to take his advice and try Postum. got package and had it carefully prepared, finding it delicious to the taste. So I continued it's use and very soon its beneficial effects convinced me of it's value, for got well of my nervousness and dyspepsia.
 My husband had been drinking cof. fee all his life until it had affected his nerves terribly, and I persuaded him to shift to Postum. It was easy to get him to make the change fer the Postum is so delicious. It cer. tainly worked wonders for him.
 We soon learned that Postum does not eXhllarate nor depress and does not stimulate, but steadily and honest. ly strengthens the nerves and the stomach.
 "To make a long story short, our en. tire family continued to use Postum with satisfying results, as shown in our fine condition of health and we have noticed rather unexpected inn provement in brain and nerve power"
 Increased brain and nerve power always follow the use of Postum in place of coffee, sometimes in very marked manner. There's a Reason"

THE WRONG OBJECTIVE POINT
Mules Lack of Consideration Respon- sibIe for lke's Being Late
 at His Duty.

An Atlanta merchant has frequent occasion to rebuke Ike, his darky DOT ter for his tardiness in reporting for duty in the morning. Ike is always ready with a more or less ingenious excuse.
 You're two hours late, Ikei" ex- claimed the employer one morning. This sort of thing must stop! Other wise, I'm going to fire you; under stand"
 "'Deed, Mistah Edward" replied Ike, "it want nah fault, dis time! Hon. est! 1 was kicked by a mule!"
 Kicked by a mule? Well, even if that were so, it wouldn't delay you for more than an hour. You'll have to think of a better excuse than that"
 Ike looked aggrieved. "Mistah Ed ward" he continued solemnly, it might have been all right ef dat mule kicked me in dis direction; but he didn't-he kicked me de odder way." Lippincott's.

With deftness acquired by long and patient practice the piekpocket extracted an old but well-1filled wallet from the hip pocket of the unsuspect- ing old gentleman with the beaming countenance against whom he had carelessly brushed when leaving the street car, and on reaching a secluded place he opened it.
 The contents had been wrapped with great care in numerous thicknesses of blank paper. Removing the wrappings one by one, he found in the center of the package a card with this inscrip- tion upon it: Young Man, Give Up Your Career of Crimel Nothing In It."

Here's a Good One.

A friend of mine told me of a curi- ous experience He was carefully stalking a big bull elephant in large herd, when they got his wind, and a big COW elephant charged him. He jumped behind a 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 off close to her head. The elephant was stunned for moment, but liekily turned and galloped after the fast re- treating herd, leaving him the posses sor of some 80 pounds of ivory, valued at about s250.-Circle Magazine.

Lazy Men Power Generators,

Learned Justice Belts of Kingston, N. Y, says: Lazy men have right to live" Our lazy men are our most potent. History shows that as a rule, with rules exceptions, our greatest men had either indolent or shiftless fathers, as fathers of Shakespeare, Lincoln, Napoleon, Bismarck and other worthies indicate. On the other hand, great mems children are few and far between. Power in a lazy man is accommodating, as in coiled spring, but the great man has little or nothing left for offspring.-New York Times.

THREE DAYS CELEBRATION.
Fourth of July Mortality Records De-
 creased Over Former Years.


 Chicago, July 6.-With three days celebration of the nations birthday this year the remarkable fact stands out boldly that the annual carnage has been decreased to a great degree. Advices from all points show that in all the large cities new rules and their strict enforcement have checked the customary slaughter of children In St Louis there was one death. Ia New York there were but four deaths for three days. In Chicago, usually drenched with blood under the guise of patriotism, there was not a single death for the three days. In Wash ington there were no deaths, no in. jured and only the smallest firecrack CTS were permitted. In all the other large cities there were but few deaths and limited number of injuries The campaign begun by the newspapers, medical association and the peaceful public generally five years ago is beginning to bear fruit. This year in the large cities the axe was laid to the root of the evil when a limited number of reputable dealers were per mitted licenses to sell fireworks, and they were strictly forbidden to sell to children or irresponsible persons and giant crackers. toy pistols, dyna- mite cans and similar deadly weap- ons. The beneficial result shows in the great decrease in mortality. The results for this year over the1 country were, Killed 46, seriously injured S56 and fire loss $427, ,450.

The Earth and the Moon.

That the earth must shine on the moon even as the moon shines on the earth is obvious. To detect this light from the earth on the lunar surface and scientifically prove it's existence is another matter. It is interesting to find that a recent number of a French astronomical paper contains two pho tographs of parts of the moon illum- mated by earth light. They were taken by M Quenisset at the Juvisy observatory.

 '.Why?"
 Because woman golfers are always losing hairpins and hatpins and stick pins in the grass. Follow the trail of a woman's foursome with pincushion and I'll guarantee you cushionful of pins at the end of the ninth hole
 But why does the farmer mind that?"
 Because afterward when his sheep and cattle graze in those fields they swallow pins. Pins, I needn't tell you, are injurious to the health
