OLD SOAKERS

Whea a person has used coffee for

A lady in Huntsville, Ala, says she

for the past 20 years was troubled
with stomach trouble.
II have been treated by many ply
sicians, but all In vain. Everything
failed to perfect cure. I was pros
trated for some time, and came near
dying. When recovered sufficiently
to partake OF food and drink I tried
coffee again and it soured on my
stomach.
Il finally concluded coffee was the
cause Of my troubles and stopped
using It. tried tea and then milk In
its place, but neither agreed with me,
then I commenced using Postum. I
had 1t properly made and 1t was very
pleasing to the taste.

A Boat on the Medicine Bow.

pairs OF oars. We got in and showed
off, making no noise. Then we
hugged the bank, Bat steering, and
just drifted. During this time /
quietly arranged the bales of furs and
rolls of buffalo robes so as to give us
each a cover from bullets.
when we had got around bend,
and were beyond earshot, we fitted
our oars and fell to work. Had we
now been running through such
rough country as lay behind the car
ries, l believe we would have got
away without ever seeing those fell
lows again. But the foothills were
behind us now, the plains on both
sides quite level and as bare of cover
as the palm of your hand.
I'VE were as much as a mile from
our starting point when we saw the
whole parcel of thieves racing along
the bank and gaining on us at every
jump. We had the alternative of
stopping to fight or of running a gam
tlet, with chance of wearing out our
pursuers. We chose the gantlet.
when sweep of the river gave
them short cut we got behind our
bales, Bat steering the boat in mid
current. The stream was not more
than forty yards wide, and at little
more than half that distance the gang
opened fire on us. At this short range
they emptied their rifles and revol-
vers.
THE current was very swift here,
or they could have reserved a part of
their fire and run along the bank,
loading and shooting until they had
made sieve of our craft. But at
eight miles an hour they could not
keep the pace and work their guns.
I'VE got by them without a
scratch, but had no more than bent
to the oars when we discovered that
our boat was leaking. A brief exam
ination showed that the enemy had
aimed their shots all at the middle Of
the boat, and on or just below the
water line. Firing down upon her
from a high bank, several of their
bullets had spllntered her pine sid
ing under the water.
while Bat piled the oars | got to
work with my jack-knife and some
pieces of woolen blanket. Such calk-
ing wasn't wholly successful. but for
time 1t stopped the worst of the
leaking. When l looked around for
a dish, there wasn't even so much as
a tin cup left to bail with, so l fell to
at the oars.
I'VE drew away from the runners
now. They were firing, and If we'd
had even nearly straight run we'd
have escaped further bombardment.
But the course of the river was as the
snake runs, only deal more crooked
at times, and in ten more minutes we
were behind our bales, with the bull
lets again smashing through the side
of the boat. If most of them hadn't
hit above the water line we'd have
swamped then and there.
1--WE got by, and Bat again pulled
at the oars, while lay on my side,
plugging the rents.

but the current was getting lazier,

OUR CANARY BIRD DICK.

Perhaps you would like to hear
about Dick, the cute little canary
bird we have. He is very light yell
low, with a few black feathers.
Whenever some one comes into the
room he sings and sings until the
person says: How do you do?" to
him. Then he stops. He is so tame
that we allow him to fly all around
the house. He likes the mahogany
table in the parlor best.
One day last week was walking
through the hall with a pitcher Of
water. Dick saw me, few up to the
pitcher, sat on the rim and then few
in and took a bath, which surprised
me very much, because he will not
take his bath unless it is in the frying
pan.
Dick loves to play with spool of
thread, which he untwists until he
has enough in his mouth and then he
will fly to his cage. If he sees any
one eating something, he flies on his
shoulder and with his head cooked
on one side sings until he gets some-
thing to eat. The other day while
my friends and I were in the dining
room he few from one shoulder to
the other or few on to the table to
eat the crumbs.-Hildegards Griscb,
