The Cynical Inventor.
A young Inventor exhibited a ring
to a jeweler.
"A now type of engagement ring,"
he said, "that I'm going to patent.
It will make the a fortune."
"Humph," said the Jeweler. "What
Is thoro patented about this?"
"It'a adjustable," said the Inventor.
Taxicab Driver Senses Danger.
A London taxicab driver, rejected
tor the army op account of defective
•yeslgtif,* wns rfc examined recently,
the London Globe says.
"How do you manage to drive your
eab at night?" the officer asked.
"It's like this," he replied. "If we
kcar a smash wo know we have hit
something, and if we don't we know
It's all right."
He was romandod to Scotland Yard
for further examination.
Child Logic.
Freddie wanted his pie first, and be-
ing the youngest of a family of five
he got it. "You eat backwards," was
his rapther's comment as she placed
It before him.
The young philosopher fell into a
brown study, from which he was only
■roused by the sight of more pie, now
brought in for the elders.
"Mother,' he said, "what's back-
wards? If I put my shoe on wrong, is
that backwards?"
"Yes."
"If I sit this way"—and he deliber-
ately turned his back to the table—
""is that backwards?"
"Yes."
"Well, I wasn't sitting like that
when I ate my pie."
Concentrated
Satisfaction
A great many former users
of tea and coffee have learned
that there is a pure food
beverage made from wheat,
which has a delightful flavor.
It never exacts of its users
the tribute of sleeplessness,
heart-flutter, headache and
other ills often caused by the
drug, caffeine, in coffee and
tea.
Instant
Postum
suggests the snappy flavor of
mild java coffee, but is abso-
lutely free from caffeine or
any harmful ingredient. In-
stant Postum is in con-
densed, soluble form, and
wonderfully convenient for
the home—for the picnic—
for travel—everywhere.
If tea or coffee interferes
with comfort or success, as
it does for many users, try a
shift to Postum.

Nomads of the Desert.
The Tuaregs are of the purest Ber-
ber stock, the noble families unmixed
with other blood, and, in their own
language, they call themselves the
Noble People. Nominally, they are
Mohammedans and some of their
number compose the most Intolerant
| and warlike sect in Islam, the Senus-
site sect. Their hatred for the for-
I eigner Is greater even than that bred
by their religion, and so they are
more exclusive than ever were the
j Chinese or Japanese. Their social
organization divides them into five
classes, the nobles, the priests, the
| serfs, the cross breeds and the slaves.
All of these classes have this that
Is democratic- they form together the
