She was quite discouraged.
But one day when she was more
discouraged than ever she happened to
think that Mrs. Waiting Com
ing Quat was only back some eight or
ten generations, while Bedilla was act
ing as the monkeys had acted for the
last eight or ten thousand years, and
that Bedilla was probably acting just
as the original Quat monkey, from
whom all the Quats and all the moi
keys had descended, had acted. She
saw, right then, that Bedilla had the
best of her, and was copying the old
est Quat of all, and that the monkey

Miss Glaphyra Quat is one of the
proudest aristocrats in Betzville, and
for long time it was matter of sor-
row with her that she was the last
OF the Quats. For years she tried
strenuously to accomplish a matrl-
monial alliance with anyone, so that
the Quat line might not become ex-
tinct, but no one seemed to want
Glaphyra; she was too long and thin,
and ran too much to jaw bone and
shanks, and by the time she was SO
she was pretty we'll resigned, and
felt that when she died the last Quat
would perish off the face of the earth.
She would sit in her rocking chair
and sigh, and knit the kind of stock
ings the Quats had always worm
first stripe of red and then a stripe
of green, and then another stripe Of
red-and think how bad it was for the
world that the Quats were about to
leave if forever.
But last June ray of Joy came in
to her life. She read in the paper
that Mr.. Darwin decided that mankind
is descended from the monkeys, and
as soon as she read it she arose in her
stately manner and smiled at the por-
trait Of Ebenezer Quat. If what Mr..
Darwin said was true she was no
longer without relatives, for if the
Quat line was traced back to the
monkey ancestor and then traced
down on the monkey side there must
be lot of monkeys in the world that
were distant cousins of the Quats.

A lady tells of bad case of coffee

years." she says, "and suffered untold
agony. When I first began to have

weeks and continued to gain, but not
so fast as at first. My headaches be-
gan to leave me after l had used
Postum about two weeks - long
enough to get the coffee poison out of
my system.
"Since 1 began to use Postum can
gladly say that I never know what a
neuralgia headache is like any more,
and it was nothing but Postum that
made me well. Before used Postum

so she could jump gracefully from the
second story window into the oak tree
and hang from the topmost limb by
her knees, and the best society of
Betzville frequently gathered in her
yard TO see her do it. Several of our
most distinguished citizens remarked
that Glaphyra was really making
perfect monkey of herself.
But last Wednesday afternoon the
end came. Glaphyra was practicine
jumping from the top of the piano to
the chandelier, when Bedilla deliber
ately sat down on the floor and re.
moved her red and green stockings
and chewed them to rags. Then she
removed her black calico dress and
chewed that to rags. And so on. as
we might say. And when Bedilla had
chewed everything, and had no clothes
left, she dashed gaily from the house
and climbed the telephone in front
of the gate. For just one moment
Glaphyra hesitated, and she had pulled
off one red and green stocking. but
when she glanced out of the front
window and saw the best citizens of
Betzville gathering around the tele-
phone pole she pulled the stocking
on again and decided that Darwin was

This thought warmed Glaphyra's
to Betzville she stood before the
monkey cage looking at the ring
tailed jumper and the brue-faced bab-
boon with tears of family pride in her
eyes.
When the circus left town G}aphyra
felt void in her soul and her life
seemed doubly empty, and she longed
to have Quat come and live with
her. Luckily an Italian count with a
wheezy handorgan happened along
about then, leading a thin and flea
bit Quat at the end of a chain. When
the Count played on the organ the
Quat would hustle around and gather
up pennies, and gathering pennies
had always been a habit with the
Quats, so Glaphya knew this must be
cousin of hers, on the monkey side.
So she hunted up one Of her red and
green stockings and dug into it and
bought the cousin. The first thing she
did when she had tied the Quat to the
leg of the bed was to sit down and
knit it a pair of red and green stock
ings, for they we're one Of the immut-
able Quat customs, and Glaphyra was
proud to perpetuate the manners of
her ancestors. Everything Glaphyra
did was based on something one of
her ancestors had done, and as far
back as she could trace them they
had been sedate and severe, and as
stiff as ramrods, and as puritanical as
pie.
So Glaphyra set about turning Be-
dilla-as she called the long-tailed
Quat-into E real Quat. 1t was hard

effervescense of spirit than ran in the

to make Bedilla like the Oldest Quat
of whom there was any record-Mrs.

seem to do it. Bedilla was always
doing things, that showed her red and
green stockings clear up to the gar
tiers. 1t looked like hopeless task,
and Glaphyra began to doubt that

Canadian Tobacco sunerior

The chairman of the Imperial To
bacco Company Of Canada was asked.
at Montreal. if the report was: correct
that they had bought the Ontario to-
bacco crop. His answer was that to-
bacco grown in Canada to-day was
superior to the American-grown leaf
from the same type Of seed, for the
reason that the soil In the United
States has been used for a number Of
years and the Canadian soil is prac-
tically virgin soil for tobacco grow
ing purposes, and therefore produced
better quality. The proof of this
is that the consumption is constantly
increasing.

fatty and obstinately refused to take
his medicine. After a somewhat pro-

him, his mother at last set the glass
of medicine down, leaned her head on
her hands and "played'' that she was
crying.
A moment passed, and the tender
hearted Teddy, unable longer to bear
the sight of his mothers stricken atti-
tude, inquired, whats the matter,
mother, dear?"
Without removing her hands from
her eyes, she replied: I'm grieved
that my son won't take his castor oil

offered consolingly: "Oh, I wouldn't
