weekly route between a Missouri
county seat town and a little post
office out at country store came
dashing madly down the road in the
direction of the town. farmer who
saw him coming and wondered at his
great haste, halted him and said:
whats the matter, Jimson?
What's your great hurry this morn

Hurry" Jimson repeated, why.
don't you know the President is to be
In town to-day?"
You want to get there in time to see
him."
TITS not that that makes me hurry"
at ain't?"
NO, sir! You may not know it,
but this working for the government
is a mighty ticklish business, and a
man has got to be awful careful, or
he'll lose his job. Now suppose the
President gets off the train down
there and asks about me and 1 amt

The following story was told recent
ly by Austin Haines to a party of
friends he entertained at luncheon.
Down in little Florida town two
negro families live in shanties about
stones throw apart. They obtain
their drinking water from shallow
open well located midway between the
two houses. A fence which separates
the two yards is built up to the well
On both sides. Every evening after
her days work is done, 1t is the Gus
tom Of one of the negro mammies to
pick up buckets and go to the we'll for
water One day the owner of the
property moved the fence back about
ten feet from where 1t originally stood.
That evening when Eliza started out
with her pail she fixed her eye on the
fence and made straight for 1t. Walk
Ing hurriedly along the beaten path,
she plunged into the shallow well with
splash. Her screams brought i'm
mediate assistance. and as she climb

DUBIOUS
Abou. wha. Her Husband Would Say.

A Mich. woman tried Postum be-
cause coffee disagreed with her and
her husband. Tea is just as harm
full as coffee because it contains caf-
feine-the same drug found in cof-
fee. She writes:
MY husband was sick for three
years with catarrh of the bladder, and
palpitation of the heart, caused by
coffee. Was unable to work at all
and in bed part of the time.
Il had stomach trouble, was weak
and fretful SO | could not attend to
my housework-both of us using cof-
was harmful.
One morning the grocer's wife
said she believed coffee was the cause
of our trouble and advised Postum. l
took 1t home rather dubious what my
husband would say-he was fond of
coffee.
But took coffee right of the table
and We haven't used cup of 1t since.
You should have seen the change in
us, and now my husband never com
plains of heart palpitation any more.
