wife.
Then Goosedipper arose.

And when his emotion overcame
him and he stepped not unkindly but
heavily withal upon the cat the scene
was too pitiful for words.
It was a touching sight to see them.
Then with a sob Goosedipper grab

but we had to change cars at Salt
Lake City, so l came home by the
way of Bangor, Maine" was the only
explanation the Commuter made.
Don't apologize, Claudius," said
the loving wife. Il knew you would
be home some day if you had to wait
for the Panama Canal to get finished"
Such is the simple faith of the Com
muters.
Where is Spartacus?" said Goose
dipper. when I left you he was our
oldest son. | hope no change has

That was many years ago." sighed
the wife. when Spartacus grew old
enough to learn the schedule of the
trains he swore never to leave home
until the railroads made some ar
rangement to get him back again, and
so he is now hermit"

"A hermit" answered the wife; ga

This year Young Mems Christian as

break all records in amount of money
raised for new buildings. The success
at Philadelphia, when $1,030,0O0 was
secured in twelve days, has given slim
illus both to Young Mems and Young
Women's associations. Added to it
was the 100000 campaign for build
ing in foreign capitals. Brooklyn
women, with the aid of few men,
have just secured $415,O00; Atlanta
men, 100000; Reading, $217,00O;
Elyria, Ohio, $127, 900, where the com
mittee asked for but 100000; Charles
ton, S. c., $15O,OOO; Raleigh, N. c.,
$4,000; Wslla Walla, Wash, $4,000,
and Ishpeming Mich, $22,500. Associ-
alton leaders say three things help
them in getting these large sums:
Christian unity, a short and public ap-
peal, and real results accomplished in
buildings already erected.

l was beginning to hatch dark
bright and early, l had Barney Dool1n
at work painting our automobile the
exact colors of the machine owned by
the Hon. William Gray, who had the
temerity to run against Uncle Peter
for mayor
This was Saturday, and since early
morning a score of boys roamed all
over town, distributing 10000 cards
wherein was printed 'Bunch's Advice
to Society," canard of my own de-
vising to queer Bunch with the So
ciety push
The cards made an awful hit. Nine
citizens out of every ten didn't know
whether 1t was straight goods or a
Josh, but after reading the card over
for the second time nearly everybody
concluded that the strenuous cam
paign had overcrowded Bunch's men
tai seating capacity and that he had
gone dippy.
When the afternoon paper, the
Ruraldene Palladium, made its appear
ance, 1t contained a paid get-back
from Bunch on the first page, and 1t
was surely dizzy dish Of words.
Ruraldene, as everybody knows, is
an extremely popular suburban town
and is sometimes called The Commu-
ter's Paradise" Il consists of a hust-
ling business ceater" and beyond this,
dotting the green in all directions. are
the villas and country homes of the
suburbaaites.
1t vas through our army of Commu-
tersthat Bunch tried to reach me.
This is what he had in the after
noon paper:
Voters and citizens of Ruraldene:
There is in our midst an ardent sup
porter and adherent of the Hon. Peter
Grant who spends most of his time
besmirching the fair name of the Com
muter. This man is the author of a
literary stab in the Suburbanite's
back, a copy of which has recently
come into our possession and which is
published herewith to prove it's au-
thor's villainy, and to warn the voters
who may well ask If Peter Grants
henchman belittles the Commuter in
this cruel manner what will Mayor
Grant do to them? We give space
to this cruel slanderer's effusion that
our citizen Commuters may be on
their guard hereafter:
THE COMMUTER."
(By John Henry.)
"Mirabel!"
Eyes, dear" answered the Commu-
ter's wife.
THE Suburbanite pins his faith to
a railroad schedule only to find that
somebody pinches the pint"
Eyes, Claudius," the wife answered.

MENTAL ACCURACY
Greatly Improved by Leaving Off Coffes

The manager of an extensive cream
cry in Wis. states that while a resu
lar coffee drinker, he found it injuri
Gus to his health and hindrance to
the performance of his business dn
ties.
TT impaired my digestion, gave me
a distressing sense of fullness in the
region of the stomach, causing most
painful and disquieting palpitation of
the heart, and what is worse, it mud
died my mental faculties so as to seri
ously injure my business efficiency.
Il finally concluded that something
would have to be done. quit the use
of coffee, short off, and began to drink
Postum. The cook didn't make it
right at first. She didn't boil it long
enough, and I did not find it paIatable
and quit using it and went back to cof-
fee and to the stomach trouble again,
Then my wife took the matter in
hand, and by following the directions
on the box, faithfully, she had me
drinking Postum for several days be-
for l knew it.
When l happened to remark that
was feeling much better than had
for long time, she told me that I
had been drinking Postum, and that
accounted for it. Now we have no
coffee on our table.
MY digestion has been restored.
