CAME NEAR GETTING IT
"I guess It in now pretty well set-
tled that we will have a republican
administration for the next four
years,” remarked Representative
Bede, of Minnesota, ‘‘and I am re-'
minded of an incident which happen-
edin my state a number of years ago.1
A republican candidate for congress
met his opponent in one of the back-1
woods districts to discuss the issues, j
Mr. republican spoke first, followed by .
Mr. democrat, who flayed everything i
save the constitution. He floundered
around in great glory, and was evi-
dently making friends and votes
among the people, when the republi-
can requested him to answer Just one
question. Mr. democrat said he
would. ‘Well,’ said the republican,
fully determined to offset anything in
the way of vote-making his oppenent
had accomplished, ‘you declare the
constitution says this and says that.
Now, sir, does it not say that ‘‘The
United States shall guarantee to
every state a republican form of gov-
ernment?’
“ ‘It does,’ answered the democrat
with a rather despairing look and
tone.
“ ‘Then, sir, why do you preach
democracy?’
“This was a poser, and the back-
wods men yelled for the republican,
mid they voted for him, too.”—Nash-
ville Banner.

Why She Felt Lenient Towards the
Drunkard.
A great deal depends on the point of
view. A good temperance woman was
led, in a very peculiar way, to revise
her somewhat harsh judgment of the
poor devil who cannot resist his cups
and she is now the more charitable.
Sho writes:
“For many years I was a great suf-
ferer from asthma. Finally my health
got so poor that I found I could not lie
down, but walked the floor whilst oth-
ers slept. I got so nervous I could not
rest anywhere.
“Specialists told me I must give up
the use of coffee—the main thing that
I always thought gave me some relief.
I consulted our family physician, and
he, being a coffee fiend himself, told
me to pay no attention to their ad-
vice. Coffee had such a charm for me
that in passing a restaurant and get-
ting a whiff of the fragrance 1 could
not resist a cup. I felt very lenient
towards the drunkard who could not
pass the saloon. Friends often urged
me to try Postum, but I turned a deaf
ear, saying, ‘That may do for people to
whom coffee Is harmful, but not for
ine—coffee and I will never part.'
“At last, however, I bought a pack-
age of Postmu, although I was sure I
could not drink It. 1 prepared it as
directed, and served it for breakfast.
Well, bitter as I was against It, I
must say that never before had 1
tasted a more delicious cup of coffee!
From that day to this (more than two
years) I have never had a desire for
the old coffee. My health soon re-
turned; the asthma disappeared, I be-
gan to sleep well and in a short time
I gained 20 pounds in weight.
“One da>’ I handed my physician
the tablets he had prescribed for me,
telling him 1 had no use for them. He
stayed for dinner. When I passed him
his coffee cup he remarked: ‘I am glad
to see you were sensible enough not
to let yourself be persuaded that coffee
was harmful. This is the best cup of
coffee I ever drank,’ he continued;
‘the trouble is so few people know
how to make good coffee.’ When he
got his second cup I told him he was
drinking Postum. He was Incredu-
lous, but I convinced him, and now he
uses nothing but Postum in his home
nnd has greatly improved in health."
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.

NO SLEEP FOR MOTHER
Baby Covered With Sores and Scales
—Could Not Tell What She
Looked Like—Marvelous
Cure by Cuticura.
“At four months old my baby’s face
and body were so covered with sores
and large scales you could not tell
what sho looked like. No child ever
had a worse case. Her face was being
eaten away, and even her finger nails
fell off. It itched so she could not
sleep, and for many weary nights we
could get no rest. At last we got
Cuticura Soap and Ointment. The
sores began to heal at once, and she
could sleep at night, and in one month
she had not one sore on her face or
body.—Mrs. Mary Sanders, 709 Spring
St., Camden, N. J.”

contents descends through the floor,
to reappear laden with the dishes for
!he next course.

Strike Oil.
Much oil has been discovered to
Texas within the past few years, but
none to equal Hunt's Lightning Oil.
Others gush for a little while and
then go away. It goes on and on for-
ever, curing aches, pains, burns,
bruises, cuts and wounds. In fact, a
sore spot Hunt's Lightning Oil will
not make happy can’t be found.
The most agreeable people in the
world are those who never have any
opinions of their own.
The oftener a woman has her heart
oroken the more she enjoys her sor-
row.
Insist on Getting It.
Some grocers say they don't keep
Defiance Starch. This is because they
have a stock on hand of other brands
containing only 12 oz in a package,
which they won't be able to sell first,
because Defiance contains 16 oz. for
the same money.
Do you want 16 oz. Instead of 12 oz.
for same money? Then buy Defiance
Starch. Requires no cooking.
Many a fellow has been disappoint-
ed in love who thought the girl had
money.
A man never kicks if his name is
mispelled in the police records of a
newspaper.
