We must meet the evil by an appeal to the intelligence. One cf the drugs that does the most harm to Americans, because of its widespread use and apparent innocence, is coffee. Ask any regular coffee drinker if he or she is perfectly well. At least onehalf are not. Only those with extra vigor can keep well against the daily attack of caffeine (in the coffee.) The heart and pulse gradually lose strength: dyspepsia, kidney troubles and nervous diseases of some sort set in and the clearly marked effects of coffee poisoning are shown. These are facts and worth anyone's thought. The reasonable and sensible thing is to leave it off and shift to Postum. The poison that has been secretly killing is thus withdrawn and a powerful rebuilding agent put to work. The good effects generallv begin to show inside of 10 days. If health and comfort are worth anvthing to vou, try it. Reason" for Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich.

WAS TWO INCH RAINFALL Just a touch of spring greeted residents in this vicinity last week. On Wednesday, February 2. the sun peeped out from behind the clouds which hid his face and after scaring the ground hog back into his hole, chased the silver liquid up the little glass tube to the ."jo degree mark, the highest point reached by the mercury during the week. The day before, however, was unusually cold, the thermometers registering 5 above on that day. Rain fell on three days. the total amount of precipitation being 'J.T of an inch. There were three perfectly clear days out of the seven. On Sunday morning, the lMth. 1.2 inches of snow fell. It is rather a curious fact that there has scarcely been a week this winter when ' the beautiful" has failed to put in an appearance.

He Sued Wife Paris Dealer Became Alarmed Had Been Transferred (By La Voyageuse.) Paris, Feb. 7. American women of note and fashion on the continent have their troubles and worries equally with their less well known sisters. One of the latest sufferers is Mrs. J. G. A. leishman, wife of the American ambassador to Italy, who was formerly stationed at Constantinople, but whom has been succeeded there by Mr. Isidor Strauss. Mrs. Leishman, naturally visits Paris very often. For a time she and her husband had a rented house in the avenue du Hois de Boulogne. The ambassadress bought a number of fine and exnensive Flinders linint laee enr - tains and shades for her residence the eost heinc- onn The denier deliver - ed the goods eighteen months ago.

Mrs. Leishman de - manded a cancellation of the seizure on the ground that, as she had rented a hrmse here sh,, could int he retmrd - ed as liable under the terms of the seizure. The case has been adjourned In order to enable the ambassador and the tradesman to settle the matter out of court. Law suits seem to be in favor in th Leishman familv it mav he ineident - ally observed, for Mrs. Leishman's sister has just obtained a judgment in her favor in a suit to recover from her divorced husband the wedding presents he gave her at the time of her marriage.

GREAT LOVE STORIES of HISTORY By A.lbmrt Pmjrson Terhunm

DEAN SWIFT ANb "STELLA" "Matrimony has many children. They are Repentance. Discord. Bad Temper. Loathing, etc." So wrote a crabbed, cynical clergyman early in the eTenteenth century. He was not the sort of man whom the average woman would b suppoaed to care about. For he was homely, and of awkward, slovenly aspect. His temper was sav&jce: his satire hit lia birth. lie was a bully and lacked all th1 women most admire. Yet he is stories. The man was Jonathan Swift, dean of St. Patrick's. Dublin. Ills youth was passed in poverty and straccle. His pen later won for him a deathless reputation as a satirist and enabled him to rule his fellows by fear and ridicule. He rose slowly from post to post in church and politics until h became dean of St. Patrick's. It was while Swift as a youth was secretary to a statesman named Temple that he became tutor to little Esther Johnson, the eight year-old An Early Love daughter of his A . employer n houseAna,r keeper. The child was not only clever and lovable, but beautiful as m ell. Swift wrote of her: "Her hair was blacker than a raven and every feature of her face is perfection." The name "Esther" means "star." So does "Stella." Swift addressed the child as "Stella." and always afterward called ber by that affectionate nickname. When Stella was older she and an elderly chaperon came to live near Swift in Ireland. For years she and the clergyman bad kept up a constant correspondence. As abe grew to womanhood their early friendship deepened into love. The girl adored Swift with her whole intense nature. He. on his part, received her warship a a deserved compliment, flattered or neglected ber, according to bis whim, and bullied ber unmercifully. All his caprices and domineering ways Stella bore without omplaint. Meantime Swift had earlier fallen more or less in lore with a Miss Waring. It was an age of poetical, high-flown nicknames. For Instance, a man named Peter Jones would sign bis lore letters "Eugenlo." while John Smith would call himself "Rodertgo" or "Amyntaa." Swift called Miss Waring "Varina." and is said to hare proposed. She rejected him. Thin was In 1694. when be was 27. Two years later "Varina" became so enamoured of htm that she actually begged him to be her husband. Swift, who had had time to change his mind, rudely arenged himself for her earlier neglect by writing her so brutal n letter of refusal that the acquaintanceship was ended then and there. Then began bis famous flirtation with Hester Yanhomrigh. a London girl of good family, at whose mother's house Swift had often been an honored guest. He called Miss Vanhomrigh "Vanessa." and In his poetical effusions addressed to ber signed himself "Cadanus." When he went back to Ireland Vanessa followed blm and settled in bis neighborhood. She was 18. He was 44. He seems to bare cared little for ber. She loved blm with all her heart: so absolutely. Indeed, that she was deaf to bis bints that he was tired of ber devotion. Swift was at his wits' ends to keep Stella and Vanessa from meeting and to guard the secret of each from the other. In 1716 he privately married Stella. The wedding ceremony took place at midnight In a little summer bouse on the deanery grounds. At Swift's' positive orders Stella kept the marriage secret, for his sake bearing patiently all the snubs and coldness of ber neighbors sooner than to disobey ber husband's command. Meantime Swift continued to correspond with Vanessa, not baring the courage to tell her he was married. At last Vanessa, bearin?

Vanessa said be was "si A Double Heartbreak. lent but awful in his looks." rfe slammed her letter down on the table without a word and rode away. Vanessa's heart was broken. A few weeks later she died. Five years afterward. Stella, worn down by Swift's capricious behavior and 17 the need of keeping secret her marriage, fell ill. As she lay on her deathbed Swift at last consented that their union should be made public 1 But she murmured: "It Is too late Sow." and died. Stricken with remorse. Swift turned to literary life for solace and won great and greater renown. His savage temper and cynicism daily grew more unbearable. Finally be went Insane and. after three years of lunacy, died. Chief among his treasures after death was found a strand of Stella's black ringlets.
