Oh, then you'll live to be one hun

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 a coffee drinker
until at last became terrible suf-
ferer from dyspepsia, constipation,
headaches and indigestion.
1.-THE different kinds of medicine l
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 ac-
cording to directions on the pkg, so
that from the start l liked it.
Gradually my condition changed.
The old troubles disappeared and l
began to feel we'll again. My appetite
became good and l could digest food.
Now l am restored to strength and
health, can sleep sound all night and
awake with fresh and rested body.
II am really a monument built by
Postum, for l was a physical wreck,
distressed in body and mind, and am
now strong, healthy man. / know
exactly what made the change; it was
leaving off coffee and using Postum"

All Danes Can Vote.

Danish women have received equal
rights with men and Danish men with
each other; the recent constitutional
change which enfranchises women and
makes them eligible to all offices also
abolishes the property qualifications
which have helped to keep the Dane
melancholy. Everybody can vote in
Denmark now, even the king. TWEEN
ty-nine years is the voting age to
start with, but as time rolls over the
little kingdom 1t is to be gradually
reduced until it reaches twenty-five.
Thus the older a Dane grows the
younger he can begin to vote.-The
New Republic.

WHAT TO DO FOR LONG LIFE
Man of Seventy Willing to Adopt Any
Plan, If He Can Be Assured 1t
ls Right One.

Vergray, but still hale and hearty and
naturally DESTROYS of living as long as

mite way by which life could be greatly
extended think l should have the
grit or the common sense, or both, to
follow that course.
"But as far as my knowledge goes
there is no such absolutely definite
course to follow. The people who live
to be very old, say ninety-five, one hun
bred, one hundred and five and around
those figures, appear to have led all
sorts Of lives.
"One man has always taken his
toddy, another is a teetotaller. One
man has smoked his head off for 81
years, another hasn't smoked since he
was ninety-two. One man has always
led an easy life, keeping himself as
comfortable as possible, never worry
ing and doing very little work. another
man has been chopping cordwood since
the day he was able to swing an ak,
and he can fell a tree with the best

"One man has always been very
careful about his diet, another has
lived, as he still does, on pork and
cabbage. There doesn't really seem
to be any definite scheme that has
been followed by all of these old chaps,
but each one seems to have lived any
way 1t happened.
That is to me rather confusing.

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) clint 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
kh1 OF 10 Icloc
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.
If 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

States navy to help. He got some more
red tape unwound to fit the Hancock
county necessities, and employed
constable at StoningtoA 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 vain attempt to col
lect $26. Then, with energetic strokes
of scattering stub pen he crossed
the account off his books, saying:
