Not Much of a Job,

Two guests missed several courses of a dinner which was being given in their honor at country house. Why? Because, search as they might, they could not find the key of the trunk that held their dress suits. Various keys were tried in vain, and finally they had to wait impatiently until a locksmith could be fetched from the nearest town, three miles away. The man arrived. In less than minute the trunk was open.
 Oh" they gasped, that was quick work"
 Yes" said the man, as he rose from his knees; "it wasn't locked"

LAMB MADE ALL THE TROUBLE
By Comparison, the Lion Was lnoffen- sive and MId-"Butts Like
 Battering Ram"

The tidings that a lamb is appearing on the stage in the production of Joseph and His Brethren" has been noised far and wide. Several core spondents have written to ask why a lion should not also appear the pair lying side by side But that has al ready been done, by Lord George Sanger, and thereby hangs a tale.
 When the sale of the old showman's menagerie took place, the two animals were put together and bought by MT. Fred Ginnett, of Dick Turpin fame. By this time the lamb had got pretty long in the tooth, to say the least of it. A few days afterwards an ac- quaintance asked MT Ginnett how the happy pair were getting on.
 'I wish l had never seen them, said the snowman gloomily.
 Why, is he savage?'
 Savage is not the word for it. He won't let anyone come near him"
 Indeed, I thought he looked such mild old Hon.
 Lion? Lion be blowed! It's the lamb l mean. He butts like a batter ingram. ."-London Mail

DIDN'T KNOW That Coffee Was Causing Her Trouble.

So common is the use of coffee as beverage, many do not know that it is tue cause of many obscure ails which are often attributed to other things. The easiest way to find out for one self is to quit the coffee for a while, at leest, and note results. A Virginia lady found out in this way, and also learned of a new beverage that is wholesome as well as pleasant to drink. She writes:
 T am 40 years old and all my life, up to a year and half ago, 1 had been a coffee thinker.
 Dyspepsia, severe headaches and heart weakness made me feel some times as though I was about to die. After drinking a cup or two of hot coffee, my heart would go like clock without pendulum. At other times it would almost stop and I was so nery- ous 1 did not like to be alone.
 If I took walk for exercise, as soon as l was out of sight of the house I'd feel as If I was sinking, and this would frighten me terribly. My limbs would utterly refuse to support me, and the pity of it all was, I did not know that coffee was causing the trou- ble.
 Reading in the papers that many persons were relieved of such ailments by leaving off coffee and drinking Post um I got my husband to bring home a package. We made it according to directions and liked the first cup. Its rich, snappy flavor was delicious.
 T have been using Postum about eighteen months and to my great joy, digestion is good, my nerves and heart are all right, in fact, 1 am a well woman once more, thanks to Postum.'

Defininu a Patriot,

What is a patriot?" was the ques- ton set to the candidates for junior scholarships given by the Northum- berland education committee. Here are some of the replies:
 "A bird with red feathers coming out of it's head"
 The patriot will sometimes talk. 3
 Familiarity with the pierrot is prob ably the cause of the definitions of a patriot as clown" and a booster" ." <S4. PatSick was a patriot, the father of saints.' and "a man who lives up the highlands of Scotland. An old sailor" (pirate?) and "a man who herds cattle (peasant), were among other answers.

His Advice Worked.

And don't forget to climb, boy" said the later day Polonius as he parted from his college-bound son; :; "climb and keep a-climbin' ;
 q won't forget. dad," said the boy. "Good-by."
 He didn't forget
 Three days later he climbed over the prostrate forms of 27 disabled sophomores and, climbing the creased pole to the hated upper class emblem, yanked it from it's fastenings, there by winning a place in the esteem of his fellow students that a score of scholarships couldn't equal.-Cleve- land Plain Dealer.

DIZZY, HEADACHY
 S|Ck,. 'CAsCARETS"
Gently cleanse your liver and sluggish bowels while
 you sleep.
Get a 1O-cent box

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi- ness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul breath-always trace them to torpid liver; delayed, fermenting food in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
 Poisonous matter clogged in the in- testines, instead of being cast out of the system is re-absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes con- gestion and that dull, throbbing, sick ening headache
 Cascarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undigested food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels.
 A Cascaret tonight will surely straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep-a 10-cent box from your druggist means your head clear, stomach sweet and your liver and bowels regular for months. Adv.

treatment of the subject, his freedom
from personal abuse and maudlin
sentiment, his courage, straightfor.
wardness and optimism, mark him as
great leader in temperance reform.
He held the closest attention Of large
audiences throughout the day and

CITY LOSES IN THE
AUCTION SALE CASE
JUDGE AYERS GRANTS THE IN.
JUNcTIoN-REPoRT ON MEL.
SON COMPANY,

At the meeting OF the city council
last night. City Attorney l. B. kirkland
stated that Judge Ayers had just an.
nounced his decision in the case of r..
Roseberg against the city, in which the
plaintiff sought to restrain the city
from enforcing the ordinance recently
passed relating to auction sales. Judge
Ayers held against the city, granting
the injunction. In brief, the court held
that while the city might license auc-
ton sales, 1t could not regulate them,
as contemplated by this ordinance, be-
cause the laws of the state do not
give 1t that power. The case was very
ably presented Tor the plaintiff by Fl.
l.. Dekalb, while Mr.. Kirkland gave a
succinct statement of the city's posi-
tiOn. It will be an easy matter for
Mr.. Kirkland to amend the ordinance
to conform to the courts construction
and still accomplish about all that was
sought. Mayor Symmes, who presided,
suggested that he do this.
1t was reported that the audit Of the
city books by the state examiner had
been concluded. They were found to
be correct and the examiner especial
ly complimented City Clerk Fitton for
his work and general accuracy.
Several applications for rOoming-
house licenses were referred.
0. Desmarais sent in a claim for
$235 damages done to the basement
of his premises on Broadway through
an overflow of water. Referred.
The report Of the expert sent here
by the bonding company on the Mel.
son company's bond was received. 1t
showed tnat the construction of side
walks by this company was defective
and that this work should be replaced,
but the blame for the bad work was
attributed to the faulty local sand and
gravel used.

Morgan Not Guilty.


The trial of AL Morgan, charged with
grand larceny in connection with the
sale of horse belonging to Charles
Knox, was concluded Tuesday after
noon, when Judge ]. Miller Smith d.
rected verdict OF not guilty to be
returned at the conclusion OF the
states case County Attorney G. J.
Marshall, very ably assisted by o. w.
Belden. conducted the prosecution,
making the very strongest showing
possible under the circumstances, but
they encountered an insuperable oh.
stacle when the states witness, Mr..
Knox, testified positively that he had
authorized the sale Of the horse in
question. The defendant was repre-.
sented by o. o. Mueller, assisted by
]. G. HuntoOn.
It is proper to say in this connection
that the expense Of the extradition
was met by the state and not by Fer.
gus county.
