COFFEE HURTS

It is difficult to make people believe
that coffee is a poison TO at least one
person out OF every three, but people
are slowly finding it out. although
thousands of them suffer terribly be-

time after drinking coffee | became
restless, nervous and excited, so that
was unable to sit FIVE minutes in one
place, was also inclined to vomit and
suffer from loss of sleep, which got
worse and worse.

the cause of my trouble. and suggested

A ROMANCE OF NEW YORK.

Four years ago, as she was shopping
for Christmas, Miss Mary Nestor
laid on counter in department store
in New York city a handbag in which
was $22. Ii disappeared.
On Christmas day that year there
came to Miss Nestor's home a small
parcel In in were some papers, bank
book and other odds and ends that had
been in the handbag, but no money.
With these articles was the note I'm a
woinan's hand:
II hope you will forgive me. | am
I'm need. / have friend who has just
died. / need the money for funeral
simply taking this from a woman who
has plenty of money will return it
some time. A Friend in Need
At the time Miss Nestor was sorry
that she could not get in touch with
"friend in Need" and help her more
than by relinquishing claim to the
small sum- but the young woman, who
is secretary TO a Manhattan firm and
usually busy, finally forgot the Incl
dent.
The other day an automobile with a
liveried chauffeur and a woman pas
senger in a long Persian lamb coat
drew up before Miss Nestor's home.
The woman got out and asked for
Miss Nestor. but she was away from
home. SO the visitor talked with Miss
Nestor's mother.
A woman friend. she said, had just
died, and had asked last favor. She
was to Give to Miss hester a package
containing $22. Her friend had told
the full. circumstances on her death
bed When she saw the handbag lying
on the counter her son had just died
and she did not have the money with
which TO bury him. The stolen money
had gone for this purpose. The woman
lattcrly had intended,to return the
money. but had not been in New York.
The woman OF the automobile left
Miss Nestor's home without telling the
name of the other woman.
