quired each end of the state to be represented in the senate, and the va cancy which he had been elected to fill had been from the western district. This was only half truth. He really liked these men and women among whom his youth had been spent, who looked upon him half familiarly, half in awe, and who, until the late upris- ing and the advent of John Dunmeade. had followed unquestioningly his po- litical gospel. Most of the time he spent, from the exigeneies of his po- siion, in Washington or in the big house in AdeIphia; but as he grew older he came to look forward more and more eagerly to the summer months that supported his slegal resi- dence.''
 He looked, hesitating, toward the old colonial house across the street. Then he started toward it. Must the habit of lifetime be broken merely be- cause a son of that house had 1eveled a lance against him? And, besides, there was a small matter of business to transact. He perceived the figure of an old woman on bench under the trees, darning industriously, and he smiled at first in amusement. Then the smile became gentler.
 She looked up as he approached. He held out his hand. Good afternoon, Miss Roberta
 Good afternoon, Will Murchell." She continued her alarming. '1'1l not shake hands, she answered his ges- ture calmly. "I don't think I'll ever shake hands with you again. John says you're dangerous man. John is right

 "I was not! You may sit down. she commanded, making room for him. because I want to ask you a ques- tfon.'' He obeyed. What have you, been doing to Hugh and our John? This house has been like a funeral ever since these trials began. Hugh has been as grumpy as-as a dog with a boil And John-he doesn't say much, but he feels it. It's this politics! I wish,' she concluded vengeful1y, "a plagued carry off all you politicians

NATION SAVED BY A SPIDER
Scotland Profited by the Lesson the
Insect Taught to Its
Monarch.

Scotland has many legends that the
sheepherders and highland peasants
never get tired repeating. A long time
ago King Bruce ruled over Scotland
before that country became a part of
England, and he learned a lesson from
a spider that enabled him to succeed
when otherwise he would have failed.
King Bruce had lost many battles.
He vas discouraged. He had made
his final effort against his enemies
and failed to vanquish them. Deep in
despair he went to a lonely room in
his castle. Reclining on the couch
and thinking. he happened to notice
a spider drop from the ceiling OF a
single silken cord. He watched the
spider fascinatingly. 1t now began its
ascent. 1t slipped. Time and time
again it tried to mount, but each time
1t failed. The king watched intently,
forgetful of all else. An hour passed
Finally the spider succeeded. 1t was
an inspiration for King Bruce. Why
should he get discouraged, having
tried only a few times and failed? He
made one last grand rally against his
enemies and routed them, and from
this incident came the old saying, I'll
at first you don't succeed try again

does not even chafe as most babies

many homes and see a sweet-faced
baby with the whole top Of its head

KNOWS NOW
Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Case
For a Time.

It's easy to understand how ordi.
nary people get fooled by coffee when
doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facts.
A physician speaks of his own expe-
rience:
Il had used coffee for years and really
did not exactly believe it was ~injuring
me although l had palpitation Of the
heart every day. (Tea contains caf-
feine-the same drug found in coffee
and is just as harmful as cofee.)
FINALLY one day a severe and al
most fatal attack Of heart trouble
frightened me and l gave up both tea
and coffee, using Postum instead. and
since that time l have had absolutely
no heart palpitation except on one or
two occasions when l tried a small
quantity of coffee. which caused severe
irritation and proved to me / must let
1t alone.
When We began using Postum 1t
seemed weak-that was because we
did not make 1t according to directions
but now We put q little bit of but
ter in the pot when boiling and allow
the Postum to boil full 15 minutes
which gives it the proper rich favor
and the deep brown color.
Il have advised a great many OF
my friends and patients to leave OF
coffee and drink Postum, in fact l daily
give this advice" Name given by
Postum Co.. Battle Creek. Mich.
Many thousands Of physicians use
Postum In place of tea and coffee In
their W homes and prescribe 1t to
patients.
