Chinese Artist.

In the fourth century A. D. there.
lived in China an artist, who was also.
a poet. His name was Ku K'ai-chih.
In London there is a painting, long
scroll, which for at least thousand
years has been treasured as his work;
and though that cannot be proved it
is in all probability a painting by his
hand One day, we are told, he in
trusted to a friend a chest full of
paintings which he had collected. For
better security he fastened the lid of
the chest and sealed the fastening
with a seal The friend, however.
coveted the paintings, and hit on the
simple eXpedient of removing the
bottom of the box and SO abstracting
them. When the box was restored to
Ku K'ai-chih. he broke the seal and
found it empty. But he sus. ected
no theft and expressed no surprise.
Beautiful paintings, he said, communi-
cate with supernatural beings; they
have changed their form and flown
away, like men when they join the
mortals-Laurence Binyon, in the

TRANSFER OF LAND
BY WALTER JOSEPH DELANEY.

Square as a die and honest as a
I Quaker" was the reputation that Jar
Wis Mercer had won in Lindgrove
after sixty days business establish
ment in the real estate and mortgage
line.
And good as gold" was the ardent
and sincere addendum OF his ONCE
secretary. Nellie Ward, but she said it
to herself, as she glanced timidly at
her employer, and blushed self con-
sciously.
Ter true womanly heart was full Of
gratitude towards the shy, reticent
man who had started her in business
life. She needed work sadly when she
applied for a position grade better
than clerking in the village dry goods
store Nellie had an aged aunt to sup
port. ard when Mr.. Mercer offered her
nearly double her former salary she
felt as though rare opulence had be-
come her portion.
Mr.. Mercer had shown her unusual
indulgence. He had been patient in
teaching her how TO operate the type
writer He had set her easy and
pleasant tasks. From the first he had
placed entire confidence in her, and
this pleased her greatly. In fact, at
the end of the first month she attend
ed to bank and other business when
he was absent.
Her employer arose and came over
to where she was busy at her desk.
She felt her pulses quicken and was
angry at herself for the emotion.
Il am going away for two weeks,
Miss Ward" he said in his quiet, gen.
tie way.
Her tell-tale heart informed her that
she would miss him. She dropped her
glance from those kindly eyes of his.
You will find all necessary nlemor-
anda here" he continued, placing a
package before Nellie.
She noticed that the bank book was
included, containing some checksfof a
large amount. Adding to this the
large cash balances usually carried,
and the fact that she had authority to

overcame Nellie.

And how greatly you appreciate it,

smile. You have developed into a
splendid little business woman.

that is, you have been so useful and

He turned away shyly, like a great
schoolboy making blunder. The mu-
tual embarrassment, his tacit recogni-
ton of her harmonious position only
tseemed to increase her growing re-
gard.

moment or two of consultation of
some papers, here is something par

Nellie knew the tract WE'LL 1t was
one of two pieces of property left to
him by his uncle's estate when he
came to Lindgrove. There was the

Then his expressive face dropped
solemnly. He stared at his little help

upon his hand. His clasp frightened,
his breath came quickly. Then he
turned away and abruptly left the
room.

FAMILY OF FIVE
All Drank Coffee From Infancy.

1t is a common thing in this country
to see whole families growing up with
nervous systems weakened by coffee
drinking.
That is because many parents do
not realize that coffee contains a drug
-caffeine-which causes the trouble.
(The same drug is found in tea
There are five children in my fam
ily," writes an Iowa mother, "all of
whom drank coffee from infancy up
to two years ago.

and were advised 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 weak
digestion from birth, and yet always
craved and was given coffee. When
we changed to Postum he liked it 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 Wellville."
Postum comes in two forms
Regular Postum-must be boiled.
Instant Postum is a soluble powder.
A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in a
cup of hot water and, with cream and
sugar, makes delicious beverage
Grocers sell both kinds.

HAS HOME THAT is UNIQUE
Remarkable DomiciIe Provided by the
Government for Use of One OF
Its Officials.

Many people are quite happy in the
homes in which they live; many more
of the millions of New Workers wish
that their lives had been cast in diff
ferent places; but it is safe to say that
even the most satisfied individual
would envy the home of one resident
of New York, resident who lives on
no street, alley, or avenue; has no
neighbours; neither owns his home nor
pays rent.
Out on the extreme end of one of
the longest piers in the Hudson river
there is perched a tiny building,
wrought of corrugated iron, and re-
sembling more nearly a bomb-proof
shelter than a peaceable dwelling.
This strange little apartment, never
theless, is fitted with all the COM
forts and luxuries that combine to
make a bachelors existence suffer-
able. Rich paper sheaths the walls,
heavy carpets lie underfoot, a piano
stands in the corner, capacious
leather chairs offer the comfort of
quiet ease, while an excellent man
servant obeys and anticipates the
slightest whim.
The occupant of this small domicile
is a naval officer on extended fur
Tough, who controls and directs the
industries of the pier,
welcomes the great ocean liners as
they warp into their Ravens, dis
patches them as they are towed out
into the rivers flood, attends to every
want of the transatlantic travellers,
and holds absolute dominion over his
little maritime world
