BUILT A MONUMENT
The Best Sort. In the World.

"a monument built by and from
Postum" is the way an Illinois man
describes himself. He says:
For years l was coffee drinker
until at last l became a terrible suf-
csrer from dyspepsia, constipation,
headaches and Indigestion.
"The different kinds of medicine
tried did not cure me, and finally some
one told me to leave off coffee and
take up Postum. l was fortunate in
having the Postum made strictly &C.
cording to directions on the pkg, SO
that from the start liked it.
Gradually my condition changed
The old troubles disappeared and
began to feel well again. My appetite
became good and could digest food
Now l am restored to strength and
health, can sleep sound all night and
awake with fresh and rested body.

On the day after the WISH of the

from Berlin asserts-the following con.

Mr.. BOWKER GAVE UP
Concluded He Didn't Need No
Vessel Prop'ty Anyhow"
Possibly Fact That He Had Already
Spent Almost Twice the Amount
He Was EndeaVoring to Collect
May Have Induced Him.

When Capt. John Haskell left the
schooner Maria, fifty.six years old, but
still able to anchor off Lincolnville
Beach, Maine, while he went home to
Owls Head for Easter, he owed Eb-
enezer Bowker, ship chandler, $26 for
supplies. But 1t didn't worry Eb-
enezer any. Captain John had been
trading with him for more than 30
years and had always paid his bills to
the last cent. And it would have been
all right had Captain John come back
but he didn't; he died of pneumonia
a few days after reaching home.
After trying vainly to find someone
who felt like paying the bill for stores,
Bowker got out an attachment He
hired Belfast lawyer to draw the pa
pers and got Constable Seth Pease to
serve them.
Next morning when Mr.. Bowker got
to the store he found Constable Pease
sitting on the steps waiting for him
with the information that the Maria
had dragged her anchor in the night
and was aground two miles down the
beach, and just over the line into
Knox county, where he Constable
Pease) "sin't got no jur-is-dic-shun."
This made it necessary to go to Cam
den and get new set of papers. While
the legal arrangements were being
made a southerner came along and
took the ancient coaster over to Isles
boro, back into Waldo county. An
other revamping of the papers was
then necessary, and Constable Pease
went over to Islesboro, only to find
that some fishermen, having found the
Maria adrift, made sail on her and
took her to. Stonington, Deer Isle,
which is in Hancock county.
II Mr.. Bowker had foreseen all this
trouble he would never have bothered
about hi7 $26, but now that he had paid
out $3.50 in legal expenses, and been
'joshed" by the entire community for
his inability to catch an old tub like
the Maria, his dander was up and he
swore that he would get the old crit.
ter if he had to send for the United
States navy to help. He got some more
red tape unwound to fit the Hancock
county necessities, and employed a
constable at StoningtoL to serve the
papers. After day or two word came
back that a nephew OF the deceased
skipper, who had been working in the
quarries, had settled with the fisher
men who brought the Maria to port
and taken possession of the old tub in
the name of the rightful heirs of Cap
tain Haskell, and had sailed two hours
before the constable arrived, bound
to some port Ito the west'ard."
Upon receipt of this news Mr.. Bow
ker gritted his teeth and looked over
his expense account. He had paid out
nearly $40 in a vain attempt to col
lect $26. Then, with energetic strokes
of a scattering stub pen he crossed
the account off his books, saying:
Let the burned old sled go to Chiny

DRIVERLESS AUTO
NEARLY DECApITATES WORK
MAN ON SIOUX FALLS
STREET.

Sioux Falls, Nov. 5.-A peculiar
automobile accident took place at the
corner of Eleventh street and Phillips
avenue. A party drove their car
alongside the Boyce-Greeley building
and left it, evidently without putting
on the brake. A few minutes after
wards while parties in the employ of
the city were at work removing the
settings from the manhole at that in
tersection they were surprised to OBJ
serve the driverless a coming down
on them. The nan on the surface
who was running the windlass draw
ing up the accumulation, jumped out
of the way, but he did not have time
to remove the windlass. which IA
toppled over and mashed by the auto
mobile. The mar in the manhole
started to come to the surface TO as
certain the cause of the trouble and
barely had time to duck below
bridge" before the automobile passed
over his head.
The machine turned to the south
and made a most successful curve
which wound up by the car going
across the sidewalk and into the ex-
cavation which is being made on the
southwestern corner of the intersec-
ton.

MAIL CLERKS II
Two Employees Eliminated from Serv-
ice ut Aberdeen.

Huron. Nov. Railway mail
clerks between here and Rapid City
are In revolt over an order issued by
John N. Price, chief clerk of the
railway mail service at Aberdeen, be
cause of an order which has just gone
into effect cutting down the number
of clerks on this run from nine to
seven.
This order. it is alleged. is even
more drastic than the one which
caused the trouble five years ago on
the Tracy-Pierre run, and a repre-
sentation will be made to South Da-
kota's delegation in congress in an
effort to have the order revoked be-
fore the states mail service is tied
up the way ii was i'm 1910.
It is claimed that the mail clerks
in the Aberdeen district have the rec
ord of working more mail per man
than any other district in the Tenth
division. which, it Is said, is largely
responsible for the clerks taking such
strong exception to this ruling which
requires seven men now to do the
work OF nine heretofore.
