Her eyes were soft and deep; her graces
Were such as are vouchsafed to few;
She had one of the fairest faces
To which glad breeze ever blew;
] sat behind her and her mother;
The curtain had not been raised:
They talked so much. each to the other,
That l was dazed.
The curtain finally assembled
The lights upon the stage were bright;
The scene was wonderfully splendid.
l viewed It with keen delight;
] tried to learn just what the drama
Hinged on. and what its meaning was,
But still they talked, she and her mamma.
Without a pause.
There were three acts, OF that I'm certain,
The program pointed the fact out;
The star was called before the curtain,
I don't know what he spoke about.
His speech may have been French or
Russian,
1t was all meaningless to me,
For they continued their discussion
necessarily.
The only lines that remember
or those / heard that afternoon
Are these: 'she left him last septem-
ber:"
They'll probably announce 1t SOON"
''She told me not to tell you. even,''
my silk ones are full OF holes;"
Yes, last night, just as he was goin,"

FAMILY OF FIVE
All Drank Coffee From Infancy.

II is a common thing in this country
to see whole families growing up with
nervous systems weakened by coffee
drinking.
y That is because many parents do
not realize that coffee contains drug
-caffeine-which causes the trouble.
(The same drug is found in tea.)
There are five children in my fam
fly" writes an Iowa mother, san Of
whom drank coffee from infancy up
to two years ago.
"My husband and had heart trouble
and were sdvised to quit coffee. We
did so and began to use Postum. We
now are doing without medicine and
are entirely relieved of heart trouble.
= caffeine causes heart trouble when
continually used as in coffee drink
ing)
Our eleven-year-old boy had a weak
digestion from birth, and yet always
craved and was given coffee. When
we changed to Postum he liked 1t and
we gave him all he wanted. He has
been restored to health by Postum and
still likes it,"
Name given by Postum Co, Battle
Creek, Mich. Write for the little
book, The Road to MELVILLE"
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be boiled

The styles now prevailing and those

fact into prominence 1t is not the
fashion to conceal them, but to clothe
them daintily and set the flimsiest OF
draperies about them. Lace and chif.

ABOUT 1xAr mA,n1ox~

The road race posters state that \
ball game will be played between
Glenwood Springs and Cameo next
Sunday to decide the western slope
championship. Just what claim Glen
wood Springs has on that champion
ship is difficult to say. They have
had three or four teams to represent
their town this summer none of which
have played anything like champion
ship bail.
As for Cameo, the defeats she has
suffered at the hands of both New
Castle and Eagle has relegated her for
to the rear. New Castle really decided
that championship when our team de-
feated Cameo here on the fourth #
last month. But, considering the ex-
cellent games Red Cliff has put up
lately, the Democrat justly believes
that we should give them date be-
fore laying claim to the championship
which, many say, rightfully belongs
to New Castle.-New Castle Democrat

A D1FrEaENcE OF OPINION

The Pueblo Chieftain invokes the
services of the fool killer in the ease
of young Charlie Gates because the lat.
ter gives away $1,OOO,OOO every year
in tips and says that he wants to spend
all he has while living ssi it will do him
no good when dead.
Tastes differ-the Lord be praised
The Chieftain s taste runs to tight
wads-our doesn't. The Chieftain has
an abiding love for the miser who
gloatingly fondles his money and hides
it from the sight and use of the world
who half starves himself, who looks
like tramp and acts like damned
fool, who is an eyesore to the commu-
nifty and a stencil in the nostrils OF
decency and good citizenship. Such
pecting two in return. They are the
fellows who knock all public improve
ment and when they part with dol
lar for the benefit of the local the
public is bored with the recital of the
fact for years to come. This kind
may suit the Chieftsin, but we ii be
blamed if it does US. That paper cen.
