HARD TO PLEASE
Regarding the Morning Cup.

"Oh how hard it was to part with
coffee, but the continued trouble with
constipation and belching was such
that finally brought myself to leave
1t off.
Then the question was, what should
we use for the morning drink? Tea
was worse for us than coffee; choco-
late and cocoa were soon tired f; !;
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 1t 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 today, and has
been, one of the healthiest babies In
the State.
II use about two-thirds Postum and
one-third milk and a teaspoon of sugar.
and put 1t into her bottle. II you could
have seen her eyes sparkle and hear
her say good" today when l gave 1t
to her, you would believe me that
she likes it.
IF l was matron of an Infants
home, every child would be raised on
Postum. Many of my friends say,
You are looking so welli' / reply, I
am WE'LL l drink Postum. I have no
more trouble with constipation, and
know that I owe my good health to
God and Postum
Il am writing this letter because
want to tell you how much good
Postum has done us. but II you knew
how l shrink from publicity, you
would not publish this letter. at least
not over my name"

Confidential friends OF Louis B

that eminent Republican: A state
convention at Columbus had just ad
journed and the Cuyahoga county
delegates were all back home when
somebody suggested a friendly game
OF poker. The game was going along
right merrily at three a. m.
At that hour an officious attendant
called up Mr.. Shields residence. which
happened to be almost next door.
This Is long distance" said the
servant with no warrant of authority
whatever. 1--WE are all here In Co

That's all right" came back the
reply, but IL that voice l hear in the
apartment house next door saying

the voice saying that's good" was
indeed that of Mr.. Shields, and 1t was

While the fire department was

lumber yards, another alarm was
turned In from the south side OF the
city, where a fire had been discov-
cred in the j. K. Gall lumber yards.
Damage to the extent Of several
thousand dollars was done in the
North & Coon yards, but because of
the low water pressure and high
wind the firemen lost control of the
fire in the Gall yards, and within an
hour half a block OF lumber was in
flames. The fire quickly spread to a
number of residences near by, which
were burned to the ground.
BY attaching the city mains to the
asylum water tower, now water
supply was secured. Six houses were
entirely destroyed and three others
damaged

Helena.-In the '90s I was drifting
about Montana, working at whatever
happened to come along, just staying
In one place and at one occupation so
long as my erring fancy dictated.
In this way wandered from Idaho,
though the Yellowstone National park,
into Wyoming, and from there across
the line to Montana with trail herd
or cattle to the Milk river country.
After that ! went into the Little Rocky
mountains, where / took up a small
ranch for cattle raising on Duck creek.
Here 1t so happened l became the
nearest neighbor and chum of the
principal actor in the following incl

The Little Rockies" is q small
clump OF hills situated in the eastern
end OF Choteau county, Montana, ly-
Ing like a green island in the center
OF a vast plain. At the southern end
of the range begin the Bad Lands Of
the Missouri, region of broken-up
ridges entirely unfit for cultivation.
The Little Rockies contained small
scattering population of MIXERS and a
few small ranchers. Mixed with
these were a few tough cases whose
private addresses were badly wanted
by sundry county sheriffs. Into this
particular part had drifted Frank
Harding, thorough westerner,

aged to save little from cowpunt H.

up ranch few miles from Q,
which had been deserted by its for

hard work, getting his property fen ed

The party of state officers and

in Michigan, who have been the guests
of John Carter, OF ST. Helen, for the
past two days, returned to their homes
after making a thorough inspection of
the methods employed by Mr.. Carter
on his 160,000-acre tract of northern
land, in raising crops on the jack
pine lands that at one time were
thought to be useless.
In speaking of the trip, Land Com
missioner Russell said: II have al
ways known that these northern lands
that the state has been selling for al
most nothing would some day be bring
Ing higher price, and the demonstra-
tions being made by Mr.. Carter prove

posts for the fence. Matthews was en-
tirely unknown personally to Harding.
but after saying How do?" he calmly
told the astonished Frank that he
would have to skip, as he (Matthews)
wanted the place himself, and had
meant to take it up before Frank had
ever struck the country at all. OF
course, that was no argument, but il
suficed for Matthews. Harding, when
he had recovered sufficiently from his
surprise at this cool intimation, in.
formed his visitor that he had taken
the place up quite legitimately and
ment to hold It. Tuck heard him
out In silence. Then he told Harding.
witt many picturesque oaths, that he
would give him nine days to clear cut,
and If he was not out by that time
he would put him past taking an in
teret in anything earthly. Then he
rode off.
On the ninth day the young rancher
was sitting eating his dinner, wi en-
he leard hoof-beats outside the door,
whih was standing open on account
of tie heat. Next moment a revolver
sho rang out, and Matthews voice
shoted: We'll, you son of coyote,
SO ou won't get. won't you. eh?''
Harding canted his shotgun up and
frel from the hip, without raising it
to is shoulder. Immediately he had
pulled the trigger he stepped back be-
hin the door. The shot was followed
by thud and a sound of galloping
hofs.
looking through the space between
the wall and the door, Harding saw
his enemy lying stretched on the
grnnd-stone dead.

furher trouble. He Is now living
peacefully on the ranch with his wife

One of the perils of aerial naviga-
tion as at present developed involves
risk to those on land. Several in
stances have been reported of late
where aeroplanes have swooped so
near the earth that spectators have
had narrow escapes An incident of
this kind occurred at Garden City the
other day, when a flying machine bolt
ed and dashed into a crowd. Men,
women and children were in the gath
ering, and several persons were
knocked down, while horses were
frightened, and for time there was a
panic. Fortunately no one was seri-
ously hurt. But the facts show that
there is great deal yet to be done to
make aviation entirely safe to opera
