Couldn't Please Her Husband.

Husbands ere curious animals. They
have odd tastes and likings. Really
their fancies are tickle. Their appetites
and passions are not easily restrained.
The clerk of any divorce court knews
that. Here was the case the other day
of the husband who complained be-
cause his'wife was taking on too much
figure. He said that she had, the waist
Of walrus and could wear meal
sack for kimono. He said that no.
body could love fat wife.
So the spouse took up the matter Of
reducing. She read all the literature
pertaining to the anti-fats. Finally she
got hold of some powerful dope that
bit into her frame like buzz saw. She
shed weight as If it were being swept
eff with a broom. From being fat she
went into reverse English. She be-
came really thin.
All for the love Of a husband.
Now the man is suing the wife for
a divorce. He says that the wife
took drugs and cosmetics that made
her wan and ethereal and that she
lost and forfeited his love in the do
ing. He doesn't care for any pale
and sickly companion about his home

TWO DOORS TO MANS MIND
Explaining Why All Of Us Cannot
Awaken From Sleep to In
stant Action.

Some Of lis wake up instantly. but
most OF rs have to lie for some time
before we are really awake. How
quickly can you wake up:
II has nothing 20 do with being a
hero or 4 strong man, neither has it
anything 70 90 with lazincSS or beins
tired the night before.
1t all depends on our minds.
Livery ole of Us has got TWO distinct
minds, the front mind with which we
TO our ordinary daytime thinking, and
the back mind which comes into action
only in the hours Of sleep.
Between the TWO minds lies a door.
Wien you so to sleep YOU pass into
your night mind, when you wake up
YOU step through the door into your
day mind, and close the docr behind
you.
But with great many OF us this
door between our two minds has
worked 4 little loose.
The hinges Of that door work slow
l.; it doesn't slam, and through it
float out the broken remnants OF your
dream in hopeless confusion with the
real life Of the new days WORK.
Then gradually, with an effort. You
manage TO pull yourself out Of the fog
and push the dream things back
through the door. Then at last YOU
are awake
This difficulty OF waking varies with
your circumstances. II something
pleasant is going to happen to You
in the coming day you can wake up
comparatively easily. Your real self
is anxious TO be finished with the
dream world, to shut the door, and
10 wake 10 Your good fortune.
But when you are troubled, or eN-
pecting worry. your dream self invests
yGur sleeping hours with kindly
mantle Of romance to make up for the
worries Of the day. You are 10th to
leave that pleasant land OF dreams,
and consequently wake up slowly.

"When you see a sign in front OF a

to know is whether they are corrected

up in front. l told them they better

HORSE NOT YET DETHRoNED
NobIest of Animals Can Still Be Reck-
oned Monarch of the Stase
and County Fairs.

The return of the state and county
fairs is reminder that about TIE only
place where the horse can hold his
own is on the race track. For al
though automobiles have invaded even
the spot so long sacred to the trotter
and PAGER. they have not become gen
erallS popular. Automobile races are
the exception. at big. resorts like the
Florida beaches. not the curiosity OF
the county and town fairs. Here the
horse is king. The fact is notable,
because it must be admitted that this
faithful steed is fading away from
the highways and the farm to de
gree that the prophets of a horseleSs
age are no longer so much diScredited
as they were.
One may travel for miles en- our
highways and seldom pass team"
meaning any kind of a horse-Grawn
vehicle. They are as scarce in the
roads as the OK was a decade ago.
They are disappearing more and more
on the farms, also thanks TO cheap
tractors, which are being improved
for a greater variety Of work With
pneumatic and hard-rubber tires. and
which have strong tendency to drive
the horse into oblivion for all draft
purposes. Ten years ago most people
would have laughed at horselesS
age. But those who read, even as
they motor, must admit the plausibii-
ity Of the prophecy-barring, as we
have said. the race track.-Lewiston

HIS life AN EPIC
Capt. Arthur jackman a Hero to
Observation-Disclosures.
Lives in Their Memory-"Honest as
de Sun He Was, and as
True as Steel"

Among the scalers of Newfound-
land certain figures loom gigantic.
Such one is Capt. Arthur Jaclman,
dead but never forgotten. Long be-
fore I reached Newfoundland on the
steamer from New York. began hear
ing about Iaciimaa's incredible eX-
ploits. Many people in ST. Johns told
nae about lim And at the ice the
sealerS were constantly recalling BITS
OF the Jackinan legend. Jacknan
seems a!ne>t :; national hero.
1t was Jackman, most famous OF seal
killers. who once when he had an in
fected thumb called for q hatchet and
calmly chopped that thumb Off, stand
in dere on de ships Drudge. sir, bare
handed an in a green split-taii coat.
1t was Sackman who once knocked a
man down into the hold, Jumped after
him, failed him around; Whereupon
the man sank all his teeth in jack
mass leg and went ravins crazy.
The sealerS tell you how Jackman
was never drunk al sea or sober on
land: how he used to trick all the
other sealing. captains and clean up
the patch before they could reach II:
how one time though short of coal
himself. dumped 90 tons on the ice
for rival captain TO pick up; how
another time, when the funnel was
ripped off by blizzard. he built
wooden funnel and carried on to sue
cess.
"Roushest man in the world, sir,
but inside Of him a real man! Seven
foot high he was, wild hand like
bucker. Big-honed. sir, an hard as
de devils i'd Only one man ever
licked 'inl-dat was Scotch ensi-
neer be locked into de cabin to give
beatin' to- De engineer hammered
him stiff, and Jaclsman loved him fer it.
Honest as Ge sun he was. an true
as steel! He had prayers every night.
sir. an yit he had a calendar print
ed without no Sundays on Ut. at ahl.
so dere wouldn't be no Sundayin'
abird. He'd putt de Sunday men on
de ice, an keep 'em dere ahl day.
Every polite ne could be- too. One
time he says to man he was fishtin'
wid. Please don't come a-nigh me or
I'll have TO split ye wild dis hatchet!
Oh. Jacknan was id Of 'em ahl. He
made up to seven t'ousand dollars
year"-fabriuus wealth fer New
foundland-"an'~ died clean broke.
Give away. every cent. he did. His
funeral procession was de laangest
ever seen in st. Johns. Oh, dere
never was narr un like Cap'n Jack
man."
The Jackman epic is interminable.
Jackman is by way of becoming a
Newfoundland solar myth.
The reference to Sunday men re-,
quireS explanation. Before the Sab
bath law went into effect certain
men refused to kill seals on sunday:
and these were Sunday men. To-day,
seal killing is taboo on Sunday.

Coffee Taste improves.

Americans are becoming coffee con-
noisSeurs. Coffee is no longer just
coffee. 1t mast now have bouquet,
body and sufficient kick 10 satisfy
those who like it strong. Or the heavy
body and the caffeine content must be
all but missing, while the aroma re-
mains high and fine, for those who like
it weak.
SO Sophisticated is the taste Of the
United States becoming, says the New
York Sun. that cheap coffee is wanted
less tllaa ever before. and high grade
coffee that was previously sent to Eu-
rope is reaching our ports at an uaprec'
eGented rate.
There has been nothing less than a
real revolution in the notion Of the pub
lie as to what good coffee IS. AS
result coffee beans are sorted more
carefully than ever before. and mild
coffees with n high, clear flavor are be-
ing increasingly: shipped North.
Most Of the mild coffeeS Of the trade
come from the countries OF the Calf
Coast, especially Colombia ana lcne-
zuela. A considerable quantity reaches
us from Mexico.
Authorities credit the roasters and
the distributors with much Of the re-
sponsibility for changing the taste OF
the public. Stale coffee beans are
now rarely sold, and the general pub
lie has q chance 10 know what fresh
coffee tastes Ike. This was not SO 6
