looking woman entered a newspaper
Office, and asked to see the editor.
The editor was promptly produced.

the woman, in a cold, hard voice, you
say that MIR. Jones is a bride taker, a
swindler. a mud singer and crook"
1T is a matter of politics. madame"
said the editor, apologetically. Il am
very sorry that we were compelled to
make statements of that kind on your

SELF DELUSION.
Many People Deceived by Coffee.

We like to defend our indulgencies
and habits even though we may be
convinced of their actual harmfulness.
A man can convince himself that
whiskey is good for him on a cold
morning. or beer on hot summer day
when he wants the whiskey or beer.
It's the same with coffee. Thou
sands of people suffer headache and
nervousness year after year but try to
persuade themselves the cause is not
coffee-because they like coffee.
While yet a child / commenced
using coffee and continued it." writes
a Wis. man, until / was a regular
coffee fiend l drank it every morning
and in consequence had a binding
headache nearly every afternoon.
MY folks thought 1t was coffee that
allied me, but liked it and would not
admit it was the cause Of my trouble,
SO stuck to coffee and the headaches
stuck to me.
Finally. the folks stopped buying
coffee and brought home some Postum.
They made II right directions Oh
pkg.l and told me TO see what differ
ence it would make with my head. and
during that first week on Postum my
old affection did not bother me once.
From that day to this We have used
nothing but Postum in place Of coffee
headaches are a thing Of the past
and the whole family is in fine health"
Postum looks good. smells good,

THE ANCIENT DISEASE OF PO
LITICAL cAMPAlGNITIS.

They're having a great time down
in Abyssynia,' said the photo-tele-
graph operator on the New York re-
ceiving float of the F. c. & A Aerial
Line, as he came out of his dark
cabinet and rubbed his eyes, red with
staring at the moving films of the
worlds events that had been flashing
before him. "A fellow would think
this was the year 1912 instead OF
1862"
What are they doing down there?"
asked Captain MacManus, Master
Alligator, retired.
"Oh. they've gone mad-the whole
nation" said the operator YEARLY
TO look at the films you'd think
they were having a war, or a plague,
or wholesale riot all over the coun-
try. They've just held what they
call a convention. For three days
they've been marching around with
brass bands and banners and shout
ing and talking, and doing everything
but declaring actual war ON one an
other. Today about twenty thousand
OF them got into-a big hall and shouted
their heads off to decide on who they
were going to shout their heads off
for the next four months to come,
or until election time, as they call It.
You'd think the way they went about
1t that an invading fleet was hanging
over their heads threatening to spill
the Hertzian rays on them before sun
down. And all in order to decide
on what name is to go on their cam
paign banners.
IT'S a fright" continued the oper-
ator, removing from his ears the wire

the speech and noise of far-away
Abyssynia as they came over the
wireless telephone. People aren't
paying any attention to business or
the other things that concern them.
They're fairly consumed by this in
applicable excitement. Abyssynia has
gone mad"
Captain MacManus leaned back and
chuckled heartily.
What are you laughing att" de-
manded the operator Il tell you it's
no laughing matter to sit still and
watch a whole nation go crazy this
way"
Il laugh. my lad. because you take
me back to the days of my youth"
ehuckled the captain. You make me
remember the days when most PEG
pie lived on the ground. You take
me back to the days when railroads
and steamships we're trying to carry
people and goods around on the
Earth. That's why laugh. But don't
worry. The uncivilized nation OF Abys-
synia has not gone crazy-not per
manently, at least. It's just suffering
from an old disease. a disease that
now afficts only the few nations that
are still barbaric enough TO follow
the old discarded customs. The name
Of the disease is-iet me see: be-
