What the Copy Boy Wrote.

Representative Dan Anthony, of Kansas, publisher of the Leavenworth Times, once had an office boy who yearned to know how to use a type- writer-which accomplishment. the boy figured. would make him regular reporter.
 Anthony turned an old broken down machine over to him, says the Wash ington Herald, and bade him learn to run 1t.
 "What1l I writer" the boy asked.
 "Oh, just take some sentence, any sentence at all" Anthony told him, and see how long it will take you to fill page with it."
 The boy set to work. An hour or two later Anthony chanced to notice the page on which the lad had been working. From top to bottom of the sheet. and from margin to margin, the boy had written one sentence over and over again until there was scarcely a white spot visible on the paper. The sentence the boy had selected to prac- tice with was: Who the - invent ed school?"

Charles NJ. Cross of Indianapolis thinks variety adds spice to life. so he went to a spiritualistic service.
 It was a lively affair with sepulchral voices sounding through trumpets, tambourines playing mysetriously in mid air. and cold. clammy hands of partially materiallzed men and women making free in the dusky room with those who were in the flesh. In the midst of 1t something dealt MT Cross a vicious whack on the nose and he called for lights in a tone not to be disobeyed. With the light the circle as disclosed was all natural and hu- man again. The most human member of 1t was MT. Cross. with a bloody nose. spelling for a fight and all the 'madder" because he did not know whom to fight.
 Who did that?" he demanded of the medium.
 The medium said the gay spirit was that of St Peter.
 But even this explanation did not satisfy Mir. Cross.
 Well, all I ask of St Peter" he said, lis to materialize for just one minute and if don't make a vacancy for new gatekeeper I won't ask to get n."-Indianapolis News.

A TROUBLE MAKER Coffee Poison Breeds Variety of Ills.

A California woman who didn't know for twenty years what kept her Ill. writes 10 tell how she won back her health by quitting coffee:
 T am 54 years old" she says, "have used coffee all my life. and for 20 years suffered from indigestion and insomnia. Life was a burden and a drag to me all the time, and about once year my ailments got such hold upon me that I was regularly sick in bed for several weeks each time.
 T was reluctant to conclude that coffee was the cause of my trouble but l am thankful that l found out the truth.
 Then I determined to use Postum exciusively-for a week at flrst-for I doubted my ability to dc without cof- fee for any length e time. I made the Postum carefully. as directed, and before the week expired had my re ward in A perceptible increase in strength and spirits.
 Seeing the good that my short ex. pertinent had accomplished, resolved to continue the use of Postum, cutting out the coffee entirely. This I did for nine months, finding, daily, increased cause for eradication at my steadily improving health. My indigestion grad ually left me. my sleep returned. I gained 26 pounds in weight, my color changed from sallow to fresh, rosy hue and life became a blessing.
 Then l thought I would try coffee again. and did so for few weeks. The punishment for deserting my good friend, Postum. was a return of my old troubles.
 That taught me wisdom. and I am now and shall be all my life hereafter using Postum exclusively and enjoy. ing the benefits it brings me" Name given by Postum Go. Battle Creek Mich.

 "Is 1t true that your mother washcs-" he began. but before he could add the word clothes" the wit y candidate called out smartly:
 Of course she does. Why, don't you?"
 This raised loud laugh at the heck ler's expense, but, still undaunted. he returned to the attack.
 You can't deny" he said, that your father was a rag-and-bone man. I bought some clothes of him 90 years lgo'
 And I see you're still wearing them." was the candidates lightning retort.

COST OF GRAIN GROWING IN
 CENTRAL CANADA

A careful canvass made of a num- Der oS men farming in a large way indicates that even with the extreme expense of harvesting tho crop, which has been caused by the bad weather | and difficulty in threshing, wheat has been produced and put on the market for less than 55 cents bushel. The average freight rate is not over 13 cents per bushel. This would make the cost of production and freight 6S cents and would leave the farmer an actual margin on his low-grade wheat of 171a cents and for his high-grade wheat of 1912 cents; and though this is not as large profit as the farmer has every right to expect, 1t is profit not to be despised, and which should leave a very fair amount of money to his credit when all the expenses of the year have been paid, unless the value of low-grade wheat sinks very much below it's present level A mat ter of importance to the prospective settler is that of the cost of produc- tion. The following table has been prepared after careful investigation: Interest on 320 acres, value
 $50 per acre, 3 years at
 per cent interest. .......... s1 ,720.00 Interest on horses, machin-
 cry wagons, ploughs. har- H
