All the Difference.

The professor was delivering an elo-
quent address on cruelty to animals.
and to illustrate how little judicious
forethought would eliminate to great
extent the sufferings that even small
insects are subject to. said:
"As I was coming through the hall
tonight saw bald-headed gentleman
very harshly treat little innocent
house-ny which had alighted on his
head.
Now. II there was any Justification
for such bad temper. I would be quite
Justified In indulging in 1t at the pres
ent moment. for fly has Just alighted
on the back Of my head. I can't see
II, but can feel II.
Possibly some Of you can see 1t
now; 1t IL on the top Of my head. Now
1t Is coming down my brow: now It Is
coming on to my G-r.r-eat pyramids

two sisters of nearly the same age.

tention impartially. One evening
when he called only one of the girls
was at home-by arangement-but.a as
usual. he asked her to sing. as they
were all fond of music. In a spirit Of
mischief she sang. Take Me. jamie.
Dear" which left him rather breath.

she endeavored vainly to find voice:

In the intense silence that followed

LACK OF MONEY

It Is not always that . lack Of
money In q benefit.
A lady of Green Forest. Ark. owes
her health to the fact that she could
not pay In advance the fee demand
ed BY . specialist to treat her for
stomach trouble. In telling OF her
case she says:
Il had been treated BY four differ
ent physicians during 10 years Of
stomach trouble. Lately I called on
another who told me he could not cure
me; that I had neuralgia Of the stom-
ach. Then I went to q specialist who
told mo I had catarrh Of the stomach
and said he could cure me in four
months but would have to have his
money down. could not raise the
necessary sum and in my extremity
was led to quit coffee and try Postum.
80 I stopped coffee and gave Post
um a thorough trial and the results
have been magical. now sleep we'll

for long time: the pain In my stom-

every time I had tried to stop 1t suf-

son to believe It was injurious to me.

trouble and extreme nervousness. But
when I had Postum to shift to It was
different.
ITO my surprise I did not miss cof.
