Good Nature Rewarded.

The car was crowded as cars are
sometimes, so the fat man stood in
the vestibule. At his back was an
open window, and the trolley rope
hung idly in graceful loop on the
outside of the car and just below his
neck. FIR several blocks everything
was lovely. Then the car hit low
place without a corresponding low
place in the trolley wire. The rope
frightened to make up for the dis
crepancy and caught the fat mans
hat brim with sufficient force to hurl
1t out the window
Did the fat man frown and blame
the conductor? No. He looked at
his fellow passengers, his face
wreathed in smiles. and said:
.sWell! I'll be jiggered If that
isn't the slickest thing l ever ex-
perienced in all my days"
He pulled the bell rope once, and
when the car had slowed down at
the next corner he pulled it again
twice and jumped off before the car
had come to full stop. The con-
ductor. however, had seen it all
Evidently he was unwilling that his
good natured passenger should wait
for another ear and sacrifice a
nickel. SO he pulled the rope once
and the car waited.-Kansas City

Conditions Sound, is United
Verdict of Business Men
Interviews Gathered Here and Abroad Reflect AS
surance That Stock Market Manipulation
Cannot Halt Wave of Progress.
POSTdASTER-CENERAL POINTS TO
GREAT GROWTH OF POSTAL BUSINESS

One of the most desperate attempts
on record to influence the stock mar
ket was perpetrated by the publica-
ton in malicious report, from an
apparently authenticated source, that
Germany had repudiated the Monroe
Doctrine and intended to do as she
pleased in South and Central Ameri-
can affairs.
Fortunately, the absolute falsitY of
the report was SO speedily and so au-
thoritatively exposed that but little
damage was done, but it is quite pos
sible that the Federal authorities will
proceed against those responsible for
this last rash and stop-at-nothing eff
fort at stock jobbing, with its mis-
chievous possibility of stirring up en-
nifty between two friendly nations.
Washington bankers believe that
the temporary depression Of securi-
| ties is due to misinterpretation of
the Governments attitude toward the
railroads.
Western capitalists declare that
crop prospects, even with a possible
wheat shortage, are most encourag-
ing. Paul Morton's opinion that this
is no longer one crop country has
found wide approval.

HARD TO PLEASE
Regarding the Morning Cup,

"Oh, how hard 1t was to part with
coffee, but the continued trouble with
constipation and belching was such
that finally brought myself to leave
It OF.
Then the question was, what
should we use for the morning drink?
Tea was worse for us than coffee;
chocolate and cocoa were soon tired
of; milk was not liked very well, and
hot water we could not endure.
about two years ago we struck
upon Postum and have never been
without it since.
I'VE have seven children. Our
baby, now eighteen months old. would
not take milk, so we tried Postum,
and found she liked 1t and it agreed
with her perfectly. She Is to-day.
and has been. one of the healthiest
babies in the State.
Il use abouttwo-thirds Postum and
one-third milk and teaspoon of SUI
gar, and put 1t into her bottle. II
you could have seen her eyes sparkle
and hear her say good to-day when
gave it to her, you would believe me
that she likes 1t.
IF was matron of an infants
home. every child would be raised on
Postum. Many Of my friends say.
You are looking so welll' l reply. I
am well: drink Postum. have no
more trouble with constipation. and
know that owe my good health to
God and Postum
Il am writing this letter because /
want to tell you how much good Pos
tum has done for US, but II you knew
how shrink from publicity you would
not publish this letter, at least not
over my name"

SOFT, WHITE HANDS
May Be Obtained in One Night

May be Obtained in One Night.
For preserving the hands as well
as for preventing redness, roughness,
and chapping, and imparting that vel
vety softness and whiteness much de-
sired by women Cutlcura Soap, assist
ed by Cuticura Ointment, is believed
to be superior to all other skin soaps.
For those who work in corrosive
liquids, or at occupations which tend
to injure the hands, it is invaluable.
Treatment.-Bathe and soak the
hands on retiring in strong. hot,
creamy lather of Cuticura Soap. Dry
and anoint freely with Cuticura Oint-
ment, and in severe cases spread the
Cuticura Ointment on thin pieces OF
old linen or cotton. Wear during the
night old, loose gloves, or a light
bandage OF old cotton or linen to pro-
tect the clothing from stain. For red.
rough. and chapped hands, dry, ifs
sured. itching, feverish palms, and
shapeless nails with painful finger
ends. this treatment is most effective.
