IN OBEDIENCE TO ORDERS
French Boy Caused Merriment by TAX
ing the Order of the Court Too
Literally.

A droll incident is reported as hav-
ing taken place in one of the pro
vincial appeal courts in France. A
boy, about IA, was summoned to give
evidence, and his appearance was such
as to move the whole court to laughter.
He wore a long redingote, peculiar to
the Basque country, and immense
boots. His trousers, collar and hat
were unquestionably those Of a man
The court was convulsed, and the
president asked the boy how he dared
to treat the court in such a manner.
The boy seemed as surprised as the
president, and taking out the citation
from his pocket, read the formula in
viting him, Comparative dams les at

Joseph Simms, M. D., in "Psysiog-

with a pleasant, open smile, and shakes
your hand up and down, withdrawing

an honest, earnest and true friend. The
man who gives you the wagging, hori-

be a selfish, cunning and deceitful
man, ready to sell you the moment he

Remarkable Coincidence In Sum OF
Money That Rastus Had In
His Pocket.

Rastus was on trial, charged with
stealing seven dollars and eighty-ive
cents. He pleaded not guilty, and, as
he was unable to hire an attorney, the
Judge appointed Lawyer Clearem as
counsel. Clearem put up a strong
plea In defense, and Rastus was &C

Counsel and client met a few min
utes later outside the court room.

"you know the court allows the

COFFEE CONGESTION
Causes a Variety of Ais.

A happy old lady in Wisconsin
says:
During the time 1 was a coffee
drinker | was subject to sick head
aches, sometimes lasting 2 or 8 days,
totally uniting me for anything.
To this af1iction was added, some
years ago, a trouble with my heart
that was very painful, accompanied
by a smothering sensation and faint
ness.
Dyspepsia, also, came to make life
harder to bear. l took all sorts of pat
me for any length of time.
1.-THE doctors frequently told me
that coffee was not good for me; but
without coffee / felt as If l had no
breakfast l finally decided about 2
years ago to abandon the use of cot
fee entirely, and as l had read a great
deal about Postum l concluded to try
that for a breakfast beverage.
Il liked the taste of it and was par
ticularly pleased to notice that 1t did
not come up as coffee used to. The
bad spells with my heart grew less
and less frequent, and finally ceased
altogether, and l have not had an at
tack of sick headache for more than a
year. My digestion is good, too, and
/ am thankful that l am once more a
healthy woman. l know my wonder

quitting coffee and using Postum"

There's a reason" and 1t is this.
Coffee has a direct action on the liver
with some people, and use partial
congestion of that organ preventing
the natural outlet of the secretions.
Then may follow biliousness, sallow
skin, headaches, constipation and final
ly a change Of the blood corpuscles
and nervous prostration.

INDIAN TRIBE NOT EXTINCT
California Expedition Discovers Rem
nants of kombos Near Head
Waters of Sacramento.

San Francisco.-An anthropological
expedition from the University of Cal
ifornia, under Professor Kroeber, has
reported the discovery of remnants of
a supposedly extinct tribe of Califor-
mia Indians near the head waters of
the Sacramento river. The main body
Of the tribe. the Kombos, was exter-
minated in a raid in 1870 by settlers.
According to the members Of the ex-
petition, which has returned from the
north, there are about 20 in the tribe
at present. They were identified by
arrow heads and other implements
found in their camps, although the
aborigines themselves are too wild to
be approached.
The university will try to have them
rounded up by a troop Of United
States cavalry In order that their Ian
guage and ancient customs may be
studied in the interest of ethnology.
Reports from sheepmen in Tehama
county that sheep had been found
killed by arrows led to the search for
the Indians.

"Years ago." says Guy Bates Post,
the actor, Il appeared In an amateur
performance Of a play that had a dis

player had studied for the ministry
and had a deep and sonorous voice. In
one of the scene the lights were sup
posed to be turned down and a raging
storm simulated. The accompanying
lines were:
".Oh, Lord, deliver US from the pow
ers OF Darkness
"The leading man spoke the lines,
but darkness didn't follow. He spoke
them again, and still the stage was
d~istressingly light. Finally he roared:
"'Oh, Lord, deliver us from the pow
err of darkness. and also give that fool
