Mr., PeasIee's Retort,

The pretty little waitress in the
hotel in Dilmouth was very prompt
and eficient-as if to atone for the
cuisine of the hotel, which was frankly
bad. She was perhaps inclined to be
a little pert at times, but that may
have been merely her means of de-
tense against the complaints of the
patrons about the quality of the food
and drink.
So when Mr.. Peaslee asked his
fourth cup of coffee, she brought it
speedily AS he thoughtfully stirred
the weak, yellowish solution, the wait
ress remarked:
You seem to be fond Of coffee"
Mr. Peaslee, nothing abashed, smiled
upon her benighly.

A REBELLION
Food Demanded.

The human body will stand lot of

the world.

years ago I was very i'll with catarrh
