the strangest figures in the long line

he pulled from a pocket tax receipts
for the last 41 years. When asked by
the registrar if he had any more he
replied that if he went down deep in-
to his "strong box” at home he might
possibly find a few dating long back

was born. Mr. King Is now 78 years
old, having been born in Baltimore in
1828, removing to East Liberty in
1857. His first presidential vote was

and brick manufacturer for half a cen-
tury has contributed much to the up-
building and growth of East Liberty.

A Man of 70 After Finding Coffee Hurt
Him, Stopped Short.
When a man has lived to be 70 years
old with a 40-year-old habit grown to
him like a knot on. a tree, chances are
he'll stick to the habit till he dies.
But occasionally the spirit of youth
and determination remains in some
men to the last day of their lives.
When such men do find any habit of
life has been doing them harm, they
surprise the Oslerites by a degree of
will power that Is supposed to belong
to men under 40 only.
“I had been a user of coffee until
three years ago—a period of 40 years
—and am now 70,” writes a N. Dak.
man. “I was extremely nervous and
debilitated, and saw’ plainly that I
must make a change.
“I am thankful to say I had the
nerve to quit coffee at once and take
on Postum without any dawdling, and
experienced no ill effects. On the con-
trary, I commenced to gain, losing my
nervousness within two months, also
gaining strength and health otherwise.
”F ■; a man of my age, I am very
vei and hearty. I sometimes meet
persons who have not made their
Postum right and don't like it. But I
tell them to boil it long enough, and
call their attention to my looks now,
and before I used it, that seems con-
vincing.
“Now, when I have writing to do,
or long columns of figures to cast up,
I feel equal to it and can get through
my work without the fagged out feel-
ing of old. ’ Name given by Postum
Co, Battle Creek, Mich. Read the
book, “The Road to Wellvllle,” in
pkgs. “There’s a reason."
PRETTY PASTIiV.ES.
DEVICES BY WHICH HC3TESS MAY
AMUSE GUESTS.
"•ortrait Party Easily Arranged and
Very Enjoyable—Setting for a
Harvest Home Frolic in
Barn or Parlor.
The hostess who enjoys a social af-
fair entailing no brain fag should is-
sue invitations for a portrait party.
The only apparatus necessary is a
quantity of blank cards or squares of
pasteboard, say about five Inches
square, aud pencils.
Each gentleman on arriving receives
a slip of paper on which is written
the name of some lady in the company,
and when the fun is in readiness the
partners thus appointed must sit op-
posite each other and draw each oth-
er’s likenesses. ,
At the end of ten minutes the por-
traits are collected by the hostess,
numbered and pinned up on the wall.
The men then choose new partners
and the game proceeds as before.
Each player before the drawing
stops must draw three members of the
opposite sex in rounds of ten minutes
each.
When the drawing is at an end the
company, furnished with slips of paper
and pencils, guesses or tries to guess
the subjects of the different like-
nesses.
A prize, which might be ,an order
for pictures on some photographic es-
tablishment of the neighborhood, is
awarded for the best set of guesses.
Another prize could be given for the
sketch pronounced cleverest by a con-
sensus of opinion. A framed photo-
graph of some portrait masterpiece
would make a good choice.
Harvest Home Party.
The harvest home idea is a splendid
one for an evening indoors, and can be
made extremely picturesque as well
as amusing.
A barn is an ideal setting for such
a frolic, but when this is not avail-
able the parlor can be trimmed to
meet the requirements of the festival.
Festoon the celling with ears of
corn wired together to form ropes.
If given in the house, bank the cor-
ners of the room and the fireplace (if
not in use) with sheaves of wheat,
through which you must twine scarlet
tissue paper poppies.
Have for the mantel or some other
prominent position a large, prettily
arranged basket of fruit and vines, or
fruit and vegetables.
The hostess and other girls of the
party should wear gingham aprons
end sun bonnets.
Any of the several amusing apple
games is in order, such as a race,
pushing apples with match sticks, or
the game where those present are di-
vided into two sides and outvie each
other in filling two baskets with the
fruit, which is carried on teaspoons.
Or introduce a corn shelling contest,
with a prize fer the person shelling
his or her ear in the shortest time.
Or have a list of names of fruit and
vegetables in which the letters are
jumbled, and let the men and girls
work these out, with a gift for the one
setting most words to rights.
The supper should be of the good
| old-fashioned country type. Corn meal
porridge, with maple syrup, fried chick-
en, w .tfies, baked apples, milk, tea,
preserves and plain cake.
A barn dance, or a parlor imitation
of it, should round out a very pleasr-o
evening.
Chocolate Cake.
One cup of butter and two cups of
1 sugar stirred to a cream, with the
! yolks of five eggs added after they
have been well beaten. Stir this into
one cup of milk. Beat the whites of
two of the eggs to a stiff froth and
add that also. Now put In three and
a half cups of sifted flour, two heap-
j ing teaspoonfuls of baking powder
having been blfted with it. Bake In
j jelly tins This gives one large
layer cake or two small ones.
RUN DOWN FROM GRIP
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills Have Cured
This Form of bebility in
Hundreds of Cases.
“ Fonr years ago,” says Mrs. F. Mor-
rison, of No. 1922 Carson street, South
Side, Pittsburg, Pa., “I took a cold
which turned into the grip. This trouble
left me all run down. I was thin, had
backache much of the time, had no ap-
petite, my stomach was out of order and
I felt nervous and unstrung.
‘‘While I bad the grip I had a doctor,
but I really suffered more from the con-
dition in which the influenza left me
than I did from £he disease itself. I felt
generally wretched aud miserable and
the least exposure to cold would make
me worse. I couldn’t seem to get any
better until I began to take Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills. I very quickly noticed a
benefit after I began taking them and
they restored me to good health and
strength. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are
a wonderfully good medicine. Thanks
to them I am now in fine health and
have had no return of my former trouble.
I recommend the pills to everyone who
is ailing and take every opportunity to
let people know how good they are.”
Dr. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs.
Morrison because they actually make
good, red blood. Wheu the blood is red
and healthy there oau be no debility.
The relation between the blood and
nervous system is such that the pills
have a very decided action upon the
nerves and they have cured many severe
nervous disorders, such as partial pa-
ralysis, locomotor ataxia and St. Vitus’
dance, that have not yielded to ordinary
treatment. Their double action, on the
blood and on tho nerves, makes them an
ideal tonic.
All druggists sell Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills, or they will be sent by mail post-
paid, on receipt of price, 50 cents jjer
box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Wil-
liams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.Y.

Adopt American Ideas.
Tne Russian military authorities are
considering the adoption of khaki
uniforms, the czar having been espe-
cially interested in one recently worn
by an American army representative
at St. Petersburg. The military au-
thorities are also considering Ameri-
can accoutrements, including web car-
tridge belts and cavalry caddies, with
a view to their adoption.
More Than Society Butterflies.
These are the days when women
of national celebrity vie with each
other in housewifely accomplishments.
Mrs. Philander C. Knox has just dis-
patched to Mr3. Roosevelt a firkin of
butter, made with her own hands, at
the Valley Forge farm. Mrs. Roose-
velt has sent delicious brandied cher-
ries to her intimates, and to the Epis-
copal Home for Old People in Wash-
ington. Mrs. Bonaparte, wife of the
secretary of the navy, has preserved
some toothsome mangoes.
