Head Bookkeeper Must be Reliable.

The chief bookkeeper in large bust
ness house in one of our great West
ern cities speaks of the harm coffee
did for him:
my wife and drank our first cup
of Postum little over two years ago,
and VIC have used it ever since, to the
entire exclusion of tea and coffee. It
happened in this way:
about three and half years ago
I had an attack of pneumonia, which
left memento in the shape of dyspep.
STA, or rather, to speak more correctly,
neuralgia o. the stomach. My cup of
cheer had always been coffee or tea,
but l became convinced. after a time,
that they aggravated my stomach trou-

ter to my grocer one day and he sug-
gested that l give Postum a trial.
Next day it came, but the cook made
the mistake of not boiling it sufficient
ly, and we did not like it much. This
was, however. soon remedied, and now
we like it so much that we will never
change back. Postum, being food
beverage instead of drug, has been
the means of curing my stomach trou.

man today and have used no other
remedy.
my work as chef bookkeeper in our

combining nature. During my coffee

GREAT LOVE STORIES
. OF HISTORY @
NAPOLEON III AND EUGENE
BY ALBERT PAYSON TERdUNE
Copyright By the Author.)

Napoleon Bonaparte, young, stern,
cynical-commander of Frances army
In Egypt-sat silent in his tent at
Cairo. His favorite officer, LIE Febvre.
stood near, not wishing to break in
upon his chiefs thoughts. Those
thoughts, LIE Febvre knew, were doubt
less OF Josephine, the adored wife
whom the commander had been forced
to leave behind him in France soon
after their wedding. Suddenly Bona
parte raised his head and asked in his
imperious, rasping voice:
lie Febvre, what do you suppose
Josephine is doing at this moment?"
The officer, more tactful than truth
full, answered.:
General, she is weeping and count
ing the days that must crawl by until
your return"
lie Febvre, you're a fool!" snarled
Bonaparte. "At this moment Joseph
inc is riding in the Bots de Boulogne
on a white horse and in bad COM
pany!"
Which goes to show that the future
emperor's eyes were already opened
concerning the character of his wife
and that his early worship Of her was
dying out Josephine was a creole,
ignorant but pretty, and with no depth
of character. At Is she had come
to France and married the Vicomte
de Beauharnais.
WIDOWS Their welded life
"'e'"ee' was not pleasant.
Josephine was not model wife. Beau
harnais tried to divorce her, failed to
secure the decree, and for time sep
arated from her. Later he fell victim
to the reign of terror and was behead-
ed. Josephine herself was sent to
prison, but managed to win her free
dom. The reign of terror was ending
and France was governed by COM
mittee known as the "directory." Jo-
sephine became a leader in the de-
| cidedly fast social set made up OF the
directors relatives and friends. She
attracted the notice of Barras, a dis
solute politician, who just then was
high in power. Soon Barras tired of
her. She was past her first youth, her
teeth were bad and she could no
longer help him politically. Also she
had two children to support. 1t was
at this time that she met Napoleon
Bonaparte.
Napoleon, poor Corsican, had had
many changes of fortune and at last
had risen to local military power un-
der Barras. He was just q. He was
poor, unpopular and lacked the quality
of making friends. He had lived the
life of a hermit. One day Josephine
visited him to thank the young gen
eral for the return of her late hus
bands sword. Napoleon, who knew
nothing of women, thought her 6

man went mad with love for this

PHYSICIANS OF
OMAHA DISAGREE
DIFFERENT OPINIONS ON COOP.
Frs REMARKABLE SUCCESS
HELD By MEDICAL MEN OF
NEBRASKA METROPOLIS.

Omaha, Neb., Feb. 1.-THE aston.
lshing sale of Cooper's preparations in
this city has now reached such i'm
mense figures that the medical frater-
nifty at large have become forced into
open discussion Of the man and his
preparations.
The physicians as whole seem to
be divided with regard to the young
mans success in Omaha-some be-
Ing willing to credit him for what he
has accomplished. while others assert
that the interest he has aroused Is
but a passing fad which cannot last.
and which will die out as quickly as
it has sprung up.
The opinion of these two factions Is
very we'll voiced in the statements
made recently by two Of a number OF
physicians who were interviewed on
the subject.
DR.. ]. e. Carass when questioned
about the matter said: II have not
been a believer in proprietary prepa-
rations heretofore, nor can say that
believe in them at present. But
must admit that some of the facts re-
Gently brought to my notice concern
ing this man Cooper have gone far
towards removing the prejudice had
formed against him when the I'M
heard-of demand for his preparations

Of my patients whom l have treated

Cooper's remedy and have stated
positively that he has accomplished
wonderful results for them. l notice
particularly in cases Of stomach trou-
Bile that the man has relieved several
cases of years standing that proved
very obstinate to treatment.
II am the last man on earth to
stand in the way of anything that may
prove for the public good simply
through professional prejudice, and
I am inclined to give Cooper and :
preparations credit as deserving to
some extent the popular demonstra-
ton that has been accorded them in
this CITY,"
Another we'll known physician who
was seen took the opposite view OF
the "Cooper-mania," as he called it,
which now has this city in its grip.
He said: II can only liken the present
state of affairs to a certain kind OF
hallucination. For want of a better
name, might call it 'Cooper-mania.
The people of Omaha seem to be
Arm in the belief that this man Cooper
has health corked up in bottle.
Some of them imagine that he has
completely cured them Of various ills,
Judging from their statements. 1t Is
beyond me to say why the city has
gone crazy over the man. 1t may be
safely put down, I think, to one OF
the passing fads that go often attack
the American public.
Sooner or later the people are
bound to regain their senses and will
then realize that the reputable physi-
clan is the one to whom their health
had best be entrusted"
In the meantime Cooper meets sew
eral thousand people daily, and only
smiles when statements of the above
character are quoted to him.

'CANNONISM"

There has been so much discussi
over "Cannonism'' that many are
anxious to know just what it stands
for; briefly, one might say that Can
nonism represents the rules of the
House of REPRESENTATIVES that en-
power the Speaker to recognize whom
he will, and thus kill legislation to
which he is opposed.
A member of Congress rises t.
address the body or propose measure.
The Speaker asks him TO state his
purpose, and after he has stated II
the Speaker may or may not recognize
him, and the member has no choice il
not recognized, but to sit down.
That Is the thing known as Can
nonism. and that is the thing to which
the American people are opposed.
1t is true. of necessity, that the
Speaker has no power save the power
given him by the House. but it il
plain to be seen that under such an
arrangement the minority, or those
having measures to which the Speaker
is opposed will be left without q
voice In the body.

THOUGHTS BY The WAY

The bills urged Tor passage in con-
gress have some things that are good
and other things that are not IN the
interest of the people. The repre-
sentatives of big business do not
want the good and the representatives
of the people do not want the bad, su
there they are. everything practically
at standstill and nothing but wind
and taxes and the people being robbed
10y the trusts.
Congressman are complaining that
they cannot live comfortably on 81. 500
and extras paid them for their valu-
able CD services. We vii wager q
"chaw" of tobacco. that several of
the representatives from this state are
not only living On their salaries, but
saving money. But what bothers US. is
to understand. how some of tie con-
gressmen not only live on their sal
aries, hut in few years become
wealthy. They certainly must invest
their savings to the very best advar-
tage, and have their sail set SO as to
catch the wind.
A new departure in journalistic
business management has been Insug-
urated by the Christian Science Daily
Monitor, published at Boston, Mass.
