LUCKY MISTAKE.
Grocer Sent Pkg. of Postum and
Opened the Eyes of the Family.

A lady writes from Brookline, Mass:
"a package Of Postum was sent me
one day by mistake.
Il notified the grocer, but finding
that there was no coffee for breakfast
next morning I prepared some Of the
Postum, following the directions very
carefully.
'It was an immediate success In my
family, and from that day we have
used 1t constantly, parents and chill
dren, too-for my three rosy young
breakfast and luncheon. They think It
delicious, and l would have a mutiny
on my hands should I omit the be-
loved beverage.
"My husband used to have a very
delicate stomach while we were using
coffee, but to our surprise his stom-
ach has grown strong and entirely well
since we quit coffee and have been on
Postum.
Noting the good effects in my fam
lily wrote to my sister. who was a
coffee topper. and after much persua-
sion got her to try Postum.
"She was prejudiced against It at
first. but when she presently found
that all the ailments that coffee gave
her left and she got well quickly she
became and remains a thorough and
enthusiastic Postum convert.
"Her nerves, which had become
shattered by the use of coffee have
grown healthy again, and today she Is
a new woman, thanks to Postum"

her voice as she continued: "Ah,
Howard, you're such boy! A little
pleasure trip and the past is for
gotten!"
A look of perplexity came over his
face. Being only a man, he did not
grasp quickly the finer shades of her
meaning. With some irritation, he de
manded:
Didn't you say you wanted me TO
go and forget?'
She nodded.
Yes, | do, Howard. You've made
me happy want you to be happy"
He looked puzzled.
You say you love me?" he said,
"and yet you're happy because I'm go
ing away. don't follow that line of
reasoning"
ut isn't reason" she said with a
smile, "it's what feel. guess man
wants to have what he loves and a
woman is satisfied to love just what
she wants. Anyway, I'm glad. I'm
glad you're going. Go and tell your ia

Taking his hat, he said:
"Tll telephone him."
Yes, that's right" she replied.
Where's my cane?' he asked, look
ing round the room.
She found 1t for him, and as he
opened the door, she said:
Don't be long, will your"
He laughed.
"Tll come right back. BY George!"
he exclaimed, IL feel quite excited at
the prospect of this trip!" Regarding
her fondly. he went on: Its awfully
good of you, old girl, to let me go.
Annie averted her head.

said, effusively.
Taking the tray from her, he placed
IL on the table, and folding her in his
arms, he pressed his lips to hers.
"Good-by," he murmured; IL won't
be long"

Official, formerly a senator of the

In the days Of his youth the Ken
tuckian was asked by a friend TO Sec

at sunrise the parties met at the ap-
pointed place.
Now it was this Kentuckians duty
to say the last words touching the
terms of the duel. But, although he
faithfully performed this duty, the
duel never took place.
A murmur of why not?" invariably
goes round whenever this story Is
told, whereupon the answer is as fol-

"For a very simple reason. When
Joe finished speaking it was too dark

and then slowly she said

"You don't mean that" he ex-
claimed, in genuine surprise.
She shook her head affirmatively.
Yes, l do" she said; "your father
wants you to take your position in
the world, the position you are entitled
to, the position your association with
me prevents you from taking"
Howard drummed his fingers on the
tablecloth and looked out of the win

no longer had the same candid ring as
he replied:
Yes, father has spoken to me about

He paused awkwardly, and then add

Annie finished his sentence for him:
You're going to accept his offer,
Howard. You owe it to yourself, to
your family, and to" She laughed
as she added: Il was going to say to
millions of anxious readers"
Howard looked at her curiously. He
did not know if she was jesting or in
earnest. Almost impatiently he ex-
claimed:
"Why do you talk in this way against
your own interests? You know I'd
like to be friendly with my family,
and all that. But it wouldn't be fair
to YOU"
I'm not talking against myself,
Howard l want you to be happy, and
you're not happy. You can't be happy
under these conditions. Now be hon
est with me-can you?"
"Can you?" he demanded.
"No,' she answered, frankly, mot
unless you are" Slowly she went on :
Whatever happiness I've had in life
I owe to you, and God knows you've
had npthing but trouble from me. I
did wrong to marry you, and I'm
willing to pay the penalty. I've evened
matters up with your family; now let
me try and square up with you
"Evened up matters with my fam
ily?" he exclaimed in surprise. What
do you mean?"
With a smile she replied ambigu-
.ously:
"Oh, that's little private matter of
my own!" He stared at her, unable
to comprehend, and she went on.
igravely: Howard. you must do
what's best for yourself. I'll pack
your things. You can go when you
please"
He stared gloomily out of the win
dow without replying. After all, he
thought to himself, it was perhaps for
the best. Shackled as he was now,
he would never be able to accomplish
anything If they separated, his father
would take him into his business.
Life would begin for him all over
again II would be better for her,
too. OF course, he would never for

comfort. His father would help him
arrange for that. Lighting cigar

"Well-perhaps you're right. May
be a little trip through Europe won't
do me any harm"
"Of course not" she said, simply.

RELATIVE RESPONSIBILITY
CF.AUTO PASSENGERS.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Whether a
passenger on the back seat OF an auto
mobile is freed from the responsible
jtv of looking out for dangerous cross
ings and a passenger on the front seat

United States supreme court decided
today not to review at present.
The case was that Of Charles d.
Henderson, who was injured at Cam
den. n. J., in a collision between an
automobile and a Pennsylvania rail-
road train. He got no damages be-
cause he was riding on the front seat
and had not cautioned the driver of
danger. A woman passenger was
awarded damages because she was sit
ting in the tonneau and was under no
obligation to guard against danger.

JOHN r. WALSH DIES AFTER
NINE DAYS OF LIBERTY
Relatives Blame Taft and Wicker
sham For His Death.

Chicago, Oct. 23-John r. Walsh,
former head of the Chicago National
bank, died at his home here today.
He lived only nine days to enjoy the
liberty of his parole from the federal
penitentiary at Leavenworth. Kansas,
gained by the continuous efforts of
family and friends since his incarcer-
alton of one year, eight months and
twenty six days Death was caused
by myocarditis and Inflammation of the
muscles Of the heart.
The banker was "A years old. Mem
bers of his family attributed the i'm
mediate cause of his death to his i'm
prisonment and charged President
Taft and Attorney General Wicker
sham with responsibility in failing to
arrange the parole earlier.
.eThey wanted the last ounce of
blood said Orville E. Babcoek, SON.
in-law of Walsh.
Who do you mean by 'they,?"
President Taft and Attorney Wick
ershan,' he replied. 1--WE presented
them with statements by DR.. Frank
Billings and DIR. Joseph A. Capp,
ly i'll and that further confinement
meant his death. They ignored these
medical statements and his death re-
suited from the long delay in obtain
ing his release"
Mr.. Walsh entered the I.eaYenworth
penitentiary in January, 1910, to begin
a, five years sentence. Members of his
family said this was equivalent to
a life sentence and at once began to
work for his release. His health be-.
gan to fail and examining physicians
at the penitentiary said he was suf-
fering with hardening of the arteries.
After his release he was probably
further weakened by twenty six mile
automobile ride in the cold, from the
prison to Kansas City.
Mr.. Walsh was convicted of misap-
preparation of funds of the bank for
the. use of his other properties, the
Bedford quarries. the Southern In
diana railway. the Chicago Chronicle
and others. All Of the depositors We're
paid in full. He is survived by his
widow. Mrs. Mary Walsh, three
daughters, Mrs. L. Blake Baldwin, Mrs.
Orviile E. Babcock, Miss Mary Walsh
and two sons. John W.. and Rich W.
Mfr. Walsh was born in County Cork,
Ireland, and came here more than six
ty years ago. His early struggle was
hard. From peddling newspapers he
developed into large newspaper deal
inss and gradually acquired funds un-
TIL he gained a place in a bank. Thence
he fought his way upward. Finally
when his other properties demanded
more cash than he had, Walsh was
charged with drawing money from his

company and the Home Savings bank,
all controlled by Walsh, closed their
doors and he was indicted.
He was found guilty December 8,

at home, however, until the last legal

tiary over a month later
