Man with Face Like That Could
Work with Him.

Pat had been at work for three days
digging a well, and as the foreman
wanted it finished within the week he
had promised Pat another man to
help him. 1t was getting on for IL
o'clock, and Towser, the foreman's
bulldog, was looking over the edge Of
the pit, when Pat said to himself,
"Smoke-o."
He had just filled his pipe, and was
about to light it when he glanced up
and beheld Towser's handsome fea-
lures.
Slowly removing the pipe from his
mouth, he said: "Be-e-egorra, DIVE

Do You Drink Il?

A minister's wife had quite tussle
with coffee and her experience is in
teresting. She says:
During the two years of my train
ing as nurse, while on night duty, !
became addicted to coffee drinking. Be-
tween midnight and four in the morn
ing, when the patients were asleep,
there was little to do except make the
rounds, and it was quite natural that
should want good, hot cup of cot
fee about that time. 1t stimulated me
and l could keep awake better.
After three or four years of coffee
drinking | became a nervous wreck
and thought that ] simply could not
live without my coffee All this time
| was subject to frequent bilious at
tacks, sometimes SO severe as to keep
me in bed for several days.
After being married, Husband
begged me to leave off coffee for he
feared that 1t had already hurt me
almost beyond repair, so resolved to
make an effort TO release myself from
the hurtful habit.
II began taking Postum, and for a
few days felt the languid, tired feeling
from the lack of the stimulant. but !
liked the taste of Postum and that
answered for the breakfast beverage
all right.
Finally began to feel clearer head
ed and had steadier nerves. After a
/ years use of Postum now feel like a
new woman-have not had any bilious
attacks since left off coffee"

Does the World Think

Man is evidently made for thought;
this is his whole dignity and his whole
merit; his whole duty is to think as
he ought. Now the order of thought
is to begin with self, and with its au-
thor and its end. Now Of what thinks
the world? Never of these things, but
of dancing, playing the lutte. singing,
making verses, fitting at the ring, ETC..
of fighting, making ourselves kings,
without thinking what it is to be a
king or what to be a man.-Pascal.

An Alabama man tells of an unique
funeral Grafton delivered in town
of that state not long ago by darby
preacher.
Now, it seems that the habits of the
deceased brother had not been ire
proachable, to the great scandal of the
worthy pastor of the flock. So, in
summing up the case at the funeral,
the preacher delivered himself of the
following:
my brethren and sisters. we are
here to pay our last sad respects to
our departed brother. Some says he
was a good man, and some says he
was bad man. Where he has gone
to we can't tell, but in our grief we
