NOT A PROMISING MARKET
seaslckness Probably Responsible for
Actors Disposition of Cargo
of Potatoes

The late William H. Smith Of man
agerial fame and Charley Backus Of
minstrel fame many years ago en-
baIked from San Francisco for Aus
tralia on a business venture.
The captain Of the boat, who was
an intimate friend Of each, suggested
that the voyagers lay in a cargo of
potatoes to dispose of on their arrival,
there being a big demand for them
there. The "Murphys" were accord
ingly purchased and placed on board.
Now, Mr.. Backus was always recog-
nized as a great comedian, but with
the deck of a ship instead of a stage
as his rostrum he wasn't so funny.
In short, Mr.. Backus was seasick
Mr.. Smith proved an excellent sailor
and while Backus was stretched out
on a chair Smith said, Charley, in
case you die. what shall I do with
those potatoes?'
And poor Backus, who thought he
was dying. said: go to hades with
them"

Tho Troubles Of Tammany.
From the New York Herald.

construction that can be placed upon the
news blazing before us in big type.
Curly joe Cassidy, the boss of
Queens. convicted and fighting against
going to Jail between sobs and fits Of
laughter. The leader of Tammany hall,
Charles r. Murphy, called a Crook a
thief q "robber' and a coward" with
in the sacred precincts Of the democratic
club. Judge Edward F. O'Dwyer on the
warpath and expelling the Tammany
chieftain from the organization which
Richard Croker built up and where all
once wont to seek the favor of the big
boss"
1t really looks ominous. When they get
ready to hang Danny Deever he is usually
hanged. Curly Cassidy is getting out
certificates of reasonable doubt and Mr..
Murphy Is declaring that as leader of
Tammany hall he will remain.
And by the same token there Is q fine
fight pending in Judge O'Dwyer's court.
The Judge Insists that the vote ousting the
Tammany leader from the democratic club
will stand, While the chief clerk of the
court, the redoubtable Thomas F. Smith,
declares that the matter will go to the
board of governors and that Judge
O'Dwyer himself will a to look after
his own scalp.
But when all is said and done, it is the
beginning of the end for the democratic
rule In this state under the present aus
pices. The handwriting is on the wall.
The bugles are BLOWN. They are hanging

He said the president was trying to

HE was fond of animals as well as
of children. I remember clearly the
night the White House stables were

the fire?' When he saw that it was his

He reached the door and tried to open

who saw him laid their hands on him
and walked him back to the White

NEW IDEA
Helped Wisconsin Couple.

It doesn't pay to stick too closely
10 old notions of things. New ideas
often lead to better health, success
and happiness.
A Wis. couple examined an idea
new t o them and stepped up several
rounds on the health ladder. The
husband writes:
Several years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking, were %sleepless. nerv-
ous. sallow, weak and irritable. My
wife and / both loved coffee and
thought it was a bracer." CDelusion.)
Finally, after years of suffering, we
read of Postum and the harmfulness
of coffee. and believing that to grow
we should give some attention to new
IDEAS, we decided to test Postum.
when we made 1t right we liked
Il and were free of Ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the
change-fresher skin. sturdier nerves.
better temper. etc
These changes were not sudden,
but increased az we continued to
drink and enjoy Postum, and we lost
the desire for coffee.
MANY of our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
make it right. But when they made
Postum according to directions on
pkg, they liked 1t better than coffee
and were benefited by the change"
