A HIT
What She Gained by Trying Again.

A failure at fist makes US esteem
final success.
A family in Minnesota that now en-
joys Postum would never have known
how good it is IL the mother had been
discouraged by the failure of her
first attempt to prepare 1t. Her son
tells the story:
1--WE had never used Postum till last
spring when father brought home a
package one evening just to try 1t. We
had heard from our neighbors, and in
fact every one who used 1t, how well
they liked 1t.
"Well, the next morning Mother
brewed it about five minutes, just as
she had been in the habit Of doing
with coffee without paying special at
tention to the directions printed on
the package. It looked weak and
didn't have very promising color, but
nevertheless father raised his cup
with an air Of exceptancy. 1t certain
ly did give him a great surprise, but
I'm afraid it wasn't very pleasant
one, for he put down his cup with a
look Of disgust.
Mother wasn't discouraged though,
and next morning gave it another trial,
letting It stand on the stove till boil
ing began and then letting 1t boil for
fifteen or twenty minutes, and this
time we were all 80 pleased with it
that we have used 1t ever since.
Father was a confirmed dyspeptic
and cup of coffee was to him like poi
son. So he never drinks 1t any more,
but drinks Postum regularly. He isn't
troubled with dyspepsia row and is
actually growing fet, and I'm sure
Postum is the cause of it. All the chill
dren are allowed to drink it and they
are perfect pictures of health" Name

Qualified PRAYER.

Marion's mother was lii, and the
aunt who took her place at the head
Of the household piled the children
with unaccustomed and sometimes dis
liked articles Of diet. One day, after
being compelled to eat onions, Marion
refused to say grace.
Then you must sit at the table un-
til you are ready to say it," was the
aunt's stern judgment. An hour or
80 later, when the brilliant sunshine
and impatient calls of her comrades
together comprised an irresistible ap-
peal, Marion capitulated-thus:
"Oh, Lord, make me thankful for
having had to eat horrid old onions,
If you can do 1t. But 1 know you
can't"

will Press The Damage Suit.

Attorneys representing the Sea-
board Air Line railway will press the
suit for 100000 damages against
the Atlantic Coast Line railway in the
Chesterfield county court. The case
will be very probably called at the
November term of court in that
county. A complaint was filed sew
eral weeks ago by attorneys for the
Seaboard asking 100000 damages
for trespass by the Coast Line. The
filing of the suit followed the contro-
versy as to the crossing at Front
street in the town of Cheraw. The
supreme court rendered two decisions
on the question, both in favor Of the
Seaboard Air Line railway.

Columbia.-A special from Wash

returned from a trip through parts
of the Middle West and South during
which he sought the cooperation Of
state superintendents of education
in a plan to have the national and
state departments of education join
lends in some of the work which
each is doing. Mutual benefits, he
declared, would result.
''The federal and state departments
of education" he explained, "have
been gathering their statistics inde-
pendently. My plan is to unity this
work and / believe that by doing this
both will receive prompter. more

While in Tennessee, DR.. Claxtcn
spoke at the dedication of the first of
four normal schools which the state
is building.
"a new spirit has arisen in the
South in regard to certain educational
matters, particularly the question of
the need of training for teachers,
said DR.. Claxton. "It was believed
formerly that any one with an edu-
cation could teach whether he knew
anything or not about the principles
of teaching. This idea has passed
away.
my native state, was practically
the last state in the country to in
stall normal schools. But now that
the step has been taken the state
has done nobly, the four cities in
which the schools are to be located
having contributed more than $780,
600 to support them"
