elderly lady who never attended
dances, but she generally complied
with the requests of her friends, who
had smart little houses lacking in
space.
Each season about dozen large
dances were held at her mansion.
Last summer, however, one borrower
went too far; she did not play the
game, and she had all the bills for the
ball directed to the peeress, who paid
them, but has never lent her house to
any one since.

Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the I'm

inveterate coffee drinker, had been
troubled with her heart for number
of years and complained of that weak

the merchants OF the place. noticed
somewhat peculiar flavor Of the COT

replied that it was Postum. / was SO
pleased with 1t that, after the meal was

home with me, and had wife pre-
pare some for the next meal: the
whole family liked 1t so well that we
discontinued coffee and used Postum
entirely.

anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for short time, she felt 60
much better than she did prior to tn

heart, and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved.

Paris.-"There is enough gold float

This information is the result of an
analysis of ocean water recently fin

in the ocean-ographic institute. Fresh
possibilities are thus offered to specu-
lators and promoters.
'The analysis revealed about fifty
milligrams CIT grain) of gold in each
ton of sea water" explained the pro
lessor. THAT seems little enough, but
considering that it takes a line of fig
ures a column wide to give the total
number of tons of water in the ocean
It is easy to see that an immense
amount of gold is held in solution. II

of the world had his share 1t would
equal 24,0O0,00O apiece. What beau

"Are there other precious minerals

"Yes," he replied, there are ten
milligrams of silver In every ton OF

Dogs Gold Teeth Glisten
Open-Face Construction In CANNES
Mouth Makes Him Conspicuous
in indianapolis.

Indianapolis. English bulldog
with gold teeth sat in an automobile
in Washington street, near Illinois,
the other day. and attracted consid-
cradle attention. BY reason of the
open-face construction peculiar to the
English bulldog, one gold fang was
especially prominent, and fairly glis-
tened in the sunlight There was other
wealth in the dogs mouth besides the
prominent gold fang, for she had four
back teeth of the valuable metal
Despite these adornments, however,
the dog was not at all proud, but
looked about in casual way as though
mildly interested in the people who
were keenly interested in her. And
her name was Biddy, just plain Biddy.
She is of aristocratic breeding, despite
her name, for her pa" was King Kill
born and her ma" was Mae Bell. and
she cost more than SO when she was
little thing that had not yet learned
the joys of bone. She is the prop
erty of r. NJ Cantwell of Peoria, Ill.,,
formerly of this city, and made the
trip to indianapolis with him in the
big touring car, enjoying the ride i'm
mensely.
In justice to her it should be ex-
planned that her gold teeth are not
due to age, for she is not much more
than a year old. A Peoria dentist, who
is friend of Mr.. Cantwell, did the
dental work Some of her teeth were
getting in bad condition, and one day
Mr.. Cantwell remarked to the dentist
that he was going to send his young
est daughter to him for some dental
work Instead of the youngest daugh-
ter" however, there appeared at the
dentists Office Biddy, with an escoAt.
Fortunately she has good dispos-
ftion, and the dental work was done
without mishap, though toward the
end of the operation she began to
grow somewhat peeyish. Whisper 10

Trenton, N. J.-Miss Isabel Conroy,

carrying marriage licenses, on each OF
which is inscribed her name. Edward
Billings and Arthur Dennis, we'll

Both have shown the licenses to
Miss Conroy, but she has not as yet
announced her intentions, telling both
suitors she will consult a lawyer and
act upon his advice.
Miss Conroy admits she cares a
whole lot for both young men, but
says her affections for them are equal

make no objection to marrying one
it would be proper to take both.

BOIL WEEvIL MARCHING EAST

For many years the pest had its
habitat in Mexico, but while the plant
ers of Texas had heard Of it they were
not alarmed, deeming that the Rio
Grande river would prove an impos-
sible barrier against an invasion of
the Lone Star state. They reckoned
in vain; the detestable bug did cross
the boundary stream, and for the past
six or seven years has been feasting
on the cotton fields of Texas, destroy
ing crops in that period to the extent
of many millions.
From Texas it crossed the Sabine
into Louisiana. where its ravages
caused many to abandon the cultiva-
ton of cotton: then it crept healthily
onward into Mississippi and before
the. end Of this year there is not a
shade of doubt that it will make its
appearance in Alabama. That it will
ultimately carry its destructive work
into Georgia, Florida and the Caro-
linas is certain. That is to say the
time is not far off when the whole of
the cotton belt will feel the merciless
attack. This year the pest has not
accomplished its usual amount OF
harm, for the farmers have fought 1t
more successfully than of yore, and
in time they may get to the point Of
