You may not care for them, but I've taken rather shine to these buttons. Mind letting me have one, eh?"
 He flashed a quics glance at me and then away.
 Mind? Why, certainly not; take 'em all, old chap, and welcome" Yet l responded gloomily enough, scarcely polite, you know And I felt too jolly prostrated to be curious as to what he could possibly want with the things. Waistcoat buttons, likely Billings was given to loud dress and other bounder stunts. But he just sat there looking down after I spoke, and presently stole a queer glance at me.
 He suddenly held up the row of red buttons again
 Look here, you blessed dodo." he exclaimed brusquely. Have you real ly no idea what these are, these glass buttons you are yapping about? Of course you haven't, you jolly chowder head. but I'm going to tell you"
 He threw the coat into my lap
 They are rubies, old man, that's all" he said quietly. Oriental rubies, at that-f1awless and perfect-the rarest and most precious things in the world"

They Saved Ills Life.

Does 1t pay to stop your motor car after an accident and go back to sec what has happened? Two young mo torists on the south side believe 1t does
 With a green chauffeur these two boys were trying out Q new model touring car They were sitting in the back seat when the greenhorn at the steering wheel gave 1t a twist and came within an ace of hitting an old man at a crossing. The victim was so shocked that he fell to the pave ment, and a crowd gathered in an in- stant
 Looking back. the motorists decided that things looked bad. but that they had better go back and see whether the old party was killed. Finding him all right, but winded, they took him for a nice ride around the parks. So pleasant did they make 1t for him that when they took him home to his wife he introduced them as "The two young men who saved my life"

 Assure? What can you assure what do you know about it?" said Billings rudely What did your friend know, or the one he had these things from-or the one before minor the one still before that? Pshaw!" And he snapped his fingers.
 With his hand he swept up the lit- tie caps and the long. wirelike threads that held them and sniffed the hand ful euriously.
 "H'm! Funky sort of aromatic smell -halsam, cedar oil or something like that. he muttered half aloud. That accounts for the preservation But still"
 He crossed his legs and pulled thougntully.

But as to these jewels, you can just bet all you've got that whoever passed them on was not wise to them being under these covers"
 Here he got to looking at one of the buttons and murmuring his ad- miration-regular trance, you know
 By Joye." I remarked. just to stir him up a bit. And he unloaded a great funnel of smoke and continued:
 My theory Is that during some danger, some mandarins' war, likely, somebody got cold feet about these jewels and roped them in with these bits Of sflk-see how different they are from the rest of the stuff, Then, when the roughhouse came, these par jamas were swept along in the sack ing-sort of spells of pillage, you know. It was a clever method of con- cealment-clever because simple-a hiding place unlikely to be thought of because right under the eye. You re- call Poe's story of The Purloined Let ter?'"
 I asked Billings how much he thought one of the rubies was worth. l had In mind how devilish hungrily he had looked at them But he sighed. then frowned and answered impatient ly:
 That's it. That's the trouble about all the rare and beautiful things of this lifei Always some debasing, prohibitive sordid money value, dam mit."
 He squinted at the stones again and let the weight of one rest upon his finger. He shook his head, signing
 Well, they're over twenty carats each, and therefore, of course, many times the value of first water dia- monds. After you get above five carats with real Oriental rubies, dia- mOnds are not in its
 With an abrupt gesture he pushed the things away and rose. His pipe had gone out, but l noticed that he did not relight 1t. l held the gems full In the rays of the lamp, and Bill ings paused, holding a hungry gaze over his shoulder

It's easy to understand hcw ordf nary people get fooled by coffee when doctors themselves sometimes forget the facts.
 A physician speaks of his own expe rience:
 T had used coffee for years and really did not exactly believe it was injurins me although I had palpitation of the heart every day. (Tea contains car feine-the same drug found in coffee and Is just as harmful as coffee)
 Finally one day a severe and al. most fatal attack of heart trouble frightened me and I gave up both tea and coffee, using Postum instead. ana since that time l have had absolutely no heart palpitation except on one or two occasions when I tried small quantity of coffee, which caused severe irritation and proved to me l must Ter 1t alone.
 When we began using Postum N seemed weak-that was because we did not make 1t according to directions but now We put little bit or ou1 ter In the pot when boiling and allo" the Postum to boil full 15 minutes which gives it the proper rich flavor and the deep brown color.

 Little Rock.-During the year l9os there were raised in Arkansas 10.Sos,- 75s fowls on the 1o6,3o9 farms report ing. These were valued at S2,SoS,ao1s an average of 26.54 cents per HOWL On 1S5,627 farms reporting there were raised during the same year Z"oo4'- 674 dozen of eggs, valued at a total of s4,459,272, an average of l6.4S cents per dozen, according to advance flg ures of the Thirteenth census issued in Washington by Director E. Dana Durand of the Bureau Of the Census department of commerce and labor The total value of the fowls and eggs raised in the state for that year was s7,327,S34
 Arkansas ranks twenty-second in the production of poultry during that year.
 Figures for U. s.
 The total number of farms reporting fowls raised in 1909 was 5,655,l54. or SS9 per cent of all farms in the United SldleS, anu iHt uulIlDti Ol oNNh AO i'S was 4SS,46S.3 .354, or an average of S6.4 fowls per farm. No report was pup lished in 1900 showing the number of farms reporting or the number of fowls raised in 1899, but the total value was given as $136.S30, 152, as against a value of 1909 of s202, ,506,2 PIP. It will thus be seen that the value or poultry produced in one year shows an increase during the decade of over s65,500,000 or 4S.0 per cent.
 The last census shows that in 1900 there were produced i'll the United States, 591. 1.311.371 dozen eggs, valued al s3o6, ,6SS. .96o. The production in 1899 was ,293, ,662,433 dozen eggs, and the value, $144.240,554 While the pro duetion of eggs during the ten years increased but 23.0 per cent, the value more than doubled. the exact amount of gain being $162,44S.4l9, or 11e.6 per cent.
 Seven states in the country raised over 2O,00G fowls in 1909. namely: H. linois, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Texas, Ohio and Indiana, their combined pro- duction comprising over 39 per cent of the poultry produced in the United States Only four states. however. re- ported a production of over 100, 100000 dozen eggs, namely: Missouri.
