"DEAF" BEGGAR COULD HEAR
Incident That Struck Householder as Being Along Slightly Humor-
 ous Lines.

Many funny things happen in fiat during the course of few months,' said a Milwaukee fiat dwell CT, but one of the best things I ever saw happened yesterday.
 'I was suddenly reused from my slumber by three loud knocks on the door Jumping to my feet and into a bathrobe. I hastened to see what was wanted. I opened the door in time to see young fellow half way up the flight to the next floor.
 Hello, there!' 1 yelled at him.
 He turned around, hastened back and handed out @ small envelope, pointing to the inscription. l glanced at it. It was an appeal for aid be- cause the applicant was deaf and dumb.
 Say, I was mad enough to kick him down stairs. Then the joke struck me and l slammed the door in his face and went back to bed laughing

The=NeW Disease.

What are his symptoms?" asked he doctor to whom the mother of the young person has come for ad- vice.
 He seems to have an insane desire :o buy post cards Why, it's worse than the cigarette habit with him. He buys two or three dozen of them every day and sends them off by mail. He dreams about post cards, he talks about post cards, and unless he is given the opportunity to buy and mail as many of them as he likes he al most goes into collapse. I am afraid his heart is affected, he gets so nerv- ous and excited when he is crossed in his wishes in that respect"
 Yes" says the physician, thought fully rubbing his eyeglasses. "The symptoms you mention indicate card lac disturbances. We might call them postcardiac."
 Without smile he writes a pre- scription for something that will taste like the gum on the back of a stamp.

SOLVING NEGRO PROBLEM
Under Conditions, the Matter Seemed Comparatively Easy of Ar
 engagement.

The central police station was over crowded one day last week. Officers were wondering what they would do should another arrest be made, when the door opened and sleepy-looking, blue-eyed foreigner drifted in with a most dejected "Goot efning, mems"
 The officers nodded their greetings to the stranger, who then asked Gan I did some sleepings here? I yust came from Chicago and am start to work tomorrow
 Well. the only space we have left is a bunk, which is already occupied by a colored man. You can share that if you want to-" replied the off cer.
 The man thought for a few minutes, scratched his head and said:
 Well, I guess I no can see him in dark, and besides I am tired and want sleep. Milwaukee Wisconsin.

Couldn't See the Resemblance.

They have been joking Assistant Treasurer James A. Mathews of the Guardian bank on his resemblance to President Taft, and MT Mathews has steadily refused to be annoyed there by. So the jokers subsided and the joke died natural death.
 Until the other night, when MT. and Mrs. Mathews dined together with MT. and Mrs. Frank Harmon and their little daughter, when the Taft resem- blance was revived. Turning to young Miss Harmon, Mir Mathews asked whether she, too, thought he looked like the president

Sir" said the eminent woman's rights agitatress to the celebrated geog- rapher T have called to protest against your unfair discrimination.
 Tn what way, madam?" asks the geographer, looking up from the map Dn which he is marking the new bound aries of Manchuria.
 You do not give proper recognition to my sex in the names you give te countries and places. For instance, you have the Isle of Man, and there is no Isle of Woman"
 Your complaint is perfectly just, madam" courteously says the geog- rapher, "and the difficulty you speak of shall be remedied in the next geog- raphies. We shall lave an .I'Il of Man" and an I'll Not of Woman"

WANTED TO SLEEP Curious That a Tired Preacher Should Have Such Desire.

A minister speaks of the curious ef feet of Grape-Nuts food on him and how it has relieved him.
 You will doubtless understand how the suffering from indigestion with which 1 used to be troubled made my work an almost uncomfortable burden; and why it was that after my Sabbath duties had been performed, sleep was a stranger to my pillow till nearly daylight
 T had to be very careful as to what l ate, and even with all my care I ex- perienced poignant physical distress after meals, and my food never satis- fled me.
 Since I began the use of Grape Nuts the benefits I have derived from it are very definite, no longer suffer from indigestion, and I began to im- prove from the time Grape-Nuts ap- peared on our table.
 q find that by eating a dish of this food after my Sabbath work is done, (and l always do so now) my nerves are quieted and rest and refreshing sleep are ensured me.
 T feel that I could not possibly do without Grape-Nuts food, now that l know it's value. It is invariably on our table-we feel that we need 1t to make the meal complete and our children will eat Grape-Nuts when they cannot be persuaded to touch anything else" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Michigan.

FREED FROM SKIN DISEASE

Our boy was born in Toronto on Oct. 13, 1908, and when three months old a slight rash appeared on his cheek. What appeared to be a wa ter blister would form. When it broke, matter would run out, starting new blisters until his entire face, head and shoulders were a mass of scabs and you could not see a par ticle of clear skin. Other parts of his body were affected, but not to such an extent. We tried about every advertised remedy without avail, in- deed some of them only added to his suffering and one in particular, the
 - Remedy, almost put the infant into convulsions. The family doctor prescribed for him and told us to bathe the baby in buttermilk This did not do any good, so we took him to a hospital. He was treated as an out-patient twice a week and he got worse, if anything. We then called in another doctor and inside of a week the boy was, to all appearances, cured and the doctor said his work was uoHe. put lHe very He&I day 1t broke out as bad as ever.
 we decided that it could not be cured and must run it's course and so we just kept his arms bandaged to his side to prevent his tearing his flesh. We left Toronto and shortly after our arrival in Duluth, the Cuti- cura Remedies were recommended. We started using them in May, 1909, and soon the cure was complete. You would not think he was the same child for Cuticura made his skin per fectly clear and he is entirely free from the skin disease. There has been no return this time We still use only Cuticura Soap for baby's bath. Robert Mann, Proctor, Minn.. May 3. 1910"

It was prescribed by an old super stition that if those who were affected with ague would visit at dead of night the nearest crossroad five different times and then bury new laid egg, the disease would be buried.
