Too Much Trouble.
In Sunday school one afternoon the
superintendent announced the hymn.
I Want to Be an Angel, and when the
others began to sing, it was noticed
that Little Jessie was conspicuously
silent.
‘‘What is the matter, my dear?”
kindly asked the teacher. ‘‘Why don’t
yt u sing, I Want to He an Angel?”
“Because, Miss Mary,” was the rath-
er startling rejoinder of the child, ”1
don’t want to be one.”
"Don’t want to be one!” exclaimed
the horrified teacher. “Why do you
say that?"
“Because,” calmly answered Jessie,
“they have to play on the harp and 1
have had trouble enough taking my
piano lessons.”
An electric fire alarm siren invented
by a Denver man has been heard 17
miles.
Poverty is said to he a sure cure
for dyspepsia, but the cure may be
worse than the disease.
A seedless tomato of large size has
been bred by an amateur horticultur-
ist in California.
TAKING ‘N’ FROM DAMN
Turkish railways usually run one

ple, Is to be a hasbeen.
NO IDEA
What Caused the Trouble.
DOES NOT TAKE THE CURSE OFF
BY ANY MEANS.
“I always drank coffee with the rest
of the family, for it seemed as if there
was nothing for breakfast if we did
not have it on the table.
“I had been troubled for some time
with my heart, w’hich did not feel
right. This trouble grew worse
steadily.
“Sometimes It would beat fast, and
at other times very slowly, so that I
would hardly be able to do work for
an hour or tw-o after breakfast, and if
I walked up a hill, It gave me a severe
pain.
“I had no idea of wliat the trouble
was until a friend suggested that per-
haps it might be coffee drinking. I
tried leaving off the coffee and began
drinking Postum. The change came
quickly. I am glad to say that I am
now entirely free from heart trouble
and attribute the relief to leaving off
coffee and the use of Postum.
“A number of my friends have aban-
doned coffee and have taken up Post-
am. wrhich they are using steadily.
There are some people that maka
Dostum very weak and tasteless, but
If made according to directions, it is
l very delicious beverage.” Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich.
Postum comes in tw’o forms:
Postum Cereal—the original form-
must be w’ell boiled. 15c and 25c pack-
ages.
Instant Postum—a soluble pow’der—
dissolves quickly in a cup of hot wa-
ter, and, with cream and sugar, makes
a delicious beverage Instantly. 30c
and 50c tins.
Both kinds are equally delicious and
cost about the same per cup.
“There’s a Reason” for Postum.
—sold by Grocers.
When One Doesn’t Care a— Well,
Even “Tinker’s Dam” Is Bad
Language to Say the
Best About It.
A contributor to the Sun grieves
over the Ignorance of those who as-
sume that “tinker’s dam" Is a ‘‘pro-
fane expression." A tinker's dam,
says he, was a chunk of dough or bat-
ter used before the days of muriatic
acid to keep the solder from Bpread-
ing; and as the solder commonly did
spread nevertheless, the tinker’s dam
was as nearly worthless as the com-
mon expression of disesteem for it
implies. He differentiates it from the
common or garden damn and says:
“There is no profanity about it."
But not to care a tinker’s dam is
just as profane as not to care a maver-
ick damn, unbranded with ownership
by tinkers or others. Taking the "n
out of damn does not take the curse
off. If it is profane not to care a
damn, It is just as profane not to care
a whiffer, a jabberwock, a goop, or any
other illegitimate and unsanctioned
word. When one stentoriously enum
elates his refusal to appraise the ar-
ticle under discussion at the value of
a damn, he Is not swearing or curs-
ing; he is literally using bad language,
for, in the sense he means, there is
no such noun as damn. We know
what a tinker’s dam is, but what is a
damn? When one says he does not
care a whoop, he is far more definite,
for there is such a thing as a whoop.
Whence arose the idea that not caring
a damn was being profane, and why
do persons who 1o not care one plume
themselves on their devilishness?
It is not profane, but It has the
sound of being profane, and that is all
that is needed. An individual who
would not for the world have used
blasphemous language used to relieve
his feelings by pronouncing the name
of one of Wagner’s operas in a tone
that caused neighboring windows to
fall in, and “Gotterdammerung” gave
him as much satisfaction as if he had
violated a commandment. And who
was the man who always swore by
Charles G. D. Roberts and Josephine
Dodge Daskam because they sounded
so profane? There is an excellent
Methodist in this town who severely
reprehends profanity whenever he
hears it, but who produces all the ef-
fect of shocking blasphemy by the im-
bittered emphasis he lays on the ex-
clamation, “For government’s sake!”
Colonel Roosevelt plumes himself on
his abstinence from profanity, but
none of the unregenerate ever got
such satisfaction out of a real cuss
word as he does out of “By Godfrey!”
No, tinker’s dam belongs in the com-
fort-giving galaxy of profane refuges
for the emotions; and that is the
worst you can say of the other damn.

Novel Porch Light.
A porch lamp of a new type, just
placed on the market, is made to be
Installed inside the building so that it
is not only protected from the weather,
but serves to illuminate the hall or
front room as well as the porch. The
lamp is mounted inside the wall ad-
jacent to the porch. Part of the light
Is diffused through the room, while a
part of the horizontal rays are trans-
mitted through a l^-inch tube to a
globe mounted on the outside of the
wall, where, with the aid of a reflector,
it is uniformly distributed over the
porch.—Popular Mechanics

The Shell Shortage.
A. J. Drexel, praising the English
volunteer army, said in New York the
other day:
“Oxford and Cambridge undergrade
ates fight side by side with coal min-
ers. Peers’ sons and millionaires’ sons
hobnob with plumbers and blacksmiths
in the ranks.
“There are lots of ‘nuts’ (dudes) in
the volunteer army—and the kaiser
finds them pretty hard to crack, too—
notwithstanding their lack of shells.”

Grieving Cow Adopts Eight Lambs.

appears to please her greatly.

Danger in Delay
The great danger of kidney troubles is
that they so often get a firm hold before
the sufferer recognizes them. Health

dropsy, gravel and Bright’s disease may
follow as the kidneys get worse. Don’t
