Dropped a Valuable Hint About Coffee. "For about eight years," writes a Mich, woman, "I suffered from nervousness part of the time down in bed with nervous prostration. "Sometimes I would get numb and it would be almost impossible for me to speak for a spell. At other times I would have severe bilious attacks, and my heart would flutter painfully when I would walk fast or sweep. "I have taken enough medicine to start a small drug store, without any beneftt. One evening our grocer was asking Husband how 1 was and urged that I quit coffee and use Postum. so he brought home a pkg. and I made it according to directions and we were both delighted with it. "So we quit coffee altogether and used only Postum. I began to get bet ter in a month's time and look like 1 another person, the color came back, to my cheeks. 1 began to sleep well, ! my appeiite was good and I commenced to take on flesh and beeinie interested in everything about the house. "Finally I was able to do all my own work without the least sign of my old trouble. I am so thankful for the little book, 'The Road to Wellville.' It has done me so much good. I haven't taken medincine of any kind for six months and don't need any. "A friend of ours who did not like ? Postum as she made it, liked mine, and when she learned to boil it long enough, her's was as good as mine. It's easy if you folow directions." Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason." Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human Interest.

Alice Adams of Atlantic City, X. J., whose sister. Jane Adams was found murdered, near the big pier at the great summer resort, and whose testimony against William Seyler, the man last seen with Jane will go far toward influencing the coroner's jury in their verdict.

It seems strange, but nevertheless it is true that the craving of the human mind in Indiana for something novel has nowhere found a better home than in the character of Hoosier clubs. In general clubs are of two kinds, the club for amusement and the one for purpose. Of course it is well to belong to social clubs, but it seems

Their open meetings or "guest days'' are always enjoyed by persons or "outsider;-;" who are privileged to attend. Then in passing, mention should be made of the charitable clubs and organizations of the city. Women who are busy with home tasks usually are enrolled on these membership lists. The women work faithfully and give freely of their short leisure hours to assist the less fortunate. Women's clubs are certainly indispensable. .4 4 ,4 CLUB EVENTS FOR TODAY.

REFLECTIONS ON HIS NOSE It Was a Red One Before Poslam Completely Cleared the Skin Because of the numerous reflections on his red nose many a man possessed of that affliction has determined to rid himself of it, and has done so quickly through the use of a little poslam, the new skin remedy, naturally flesh colored, which heals and hides skin imperfections. Although primarily a remedy for eczema stopping the itching with first application and rapidly restoring the skin poslam shows immediate and surprising results when used for less serious skin affections, such as pimples, rash, blotches, inflammations, etc. Used after shaving it will soothe and tone up the skin as no toilet preparation could possibly do. According to the uses for which it is employed poslam may be purchased in r0 cent boxes or $2 jars at W. H. Sudhoff's and all drug stores. A free sample which will demonstrate its marvellous work will be sent upon request to any one who will write to the Emergency Laboratories, 32 West 2,"th street. New York Citv. "When 1 was a boy," said Charley White, the old-time prize fight referee, "every saloon keeper had to have a parrot or a monkey in his place to keep up with his competitors. First class saloons displayed both parrot and monkey. Sailors used to pick up a good deal of spending money in those days by bringing parrots and monkeys from South America or Africa and selling them to the saloon men. Usually the sailors had taught the parrots a fine brand of marine language. Nowadays you never see a bird or a monk in thirst parlors. I wonder what happened to change the fashion?" New York Sun.

A stocky, rea-bearoea man paced a steamship's deck, telescope in hand. From time to time he halted and through his glass scanned the Brazilian shore, past which his vessel was churning its slow way. The red-bearded man was Giuseppe Garibaldi, a young Italian sailor. He had taken part in an attempt to free Italy from the tyrannical yoke of Austria. The plot had failed and he had escaped to South America. There he had plunged eagerly into the maze of revolutions that have always convulsed South American states. Garibaldi's genius as a born military leader made his services valuable. He joined the party that was in rebellion against the Brazilian empire and won a series of brilliant victories against stronoger foes. Several times he was badly wounded, more than once was taken prisoner and at one time was put to torture. From place to place in South America he wandered, always drawing his sword for liberty and against oppression. It was on a day when his fortunes were at their ebb that he sailed past the Brazilian village of Barra, examining the shore through his telescope. ,.,, All at once the -pf" Si"? gss was held Through Telescope. stationary. Gari. baldi had seen the lovely face of a Creole girl looking from a window in the distant village. Long and earnestly he gazed on her. Then he dropped the telescope and ordered the ship stopped and a boat lowered. He rowed ashore and set out to find the house

at whose window that face hd appeared. He searched in vain. He could not locate the dwelling. In despair he was about to return to his vessel when he chanced to meet in the streets a man with whom he had some slight acquaintance. This Brazilian invited the disappointed Italian to come home with him for a cup of coffee and a cigarette. On entering his host's house the first person on whom Garibaldi's eye fell was the girl he had been so vainly seeking. The owner of the villa introduced her as his daughter Anita. Garibaldi, in his autobiography, thus describes the scene that followed: "We both maintained an ecstatic silence, gazing at each other like two persons who do not meet for the first time and who seek in each other's face something that shall revive remembrance. At last I saluted her and said: 'You must be mine!' I knew but little Portuguese, so I spoke these audacious words in Italian. However, I seemed to have some magnetic power in my insolence. I had tied a knot that death alone could break." From that moment to the day of Anita's death the strangely met couple adored each other. Anita was Garibaldi's first and only love, and she was just the sort of wife for such a man. She shared his terrible hardships without a word of complaint, faced wretched poverty with a smile and walked serenely with her warriorhusband on the ragged edge of mortal danger. In battles she fought, sword in hand, at his side. Once, during a charge, when a soldier fell dead, she snatched up the slain man's musket and continued to load and fire it until the enemy retreated. In a South' American sea fight once the deck of Garibaldi's ship was swept by a hail of shot and shell that drove many of the defenders to the shelter of cabin and forecastle. Garibaldi paused in his task of commanding the maneuvers long enough to shout to Anita to go below for safety. "I will go!" she cried, "and drive back to the deck those cowards who are skulking down there. Then I'll join you again." In a battle far inland Anita was cut off from her husband's troops and found herself surrounded by the enemy. She was ordered to surrender. Instead she fired both her pistols into the ranks of her foes and put spurs to her horse. She broke through the hostile line, but her horse was shot dead and, dismounted, she was unable to escape. When captured she waited for nightfall, then stole a horse and galloped into the forest. The enemy a va a pursued her. She A Warrior Woman . . . . , . was forced to and Her Battles. swim a swollen river, clinging with one hand to the tail of her horse, and for several days fled without food or shelter through the wilderness. It was a week before she could shake off her pursuers and rejoin her husband. At another time she had to ride in wild flight from the enemy, carrying her 12-day-old son across the saddle in front of her. To Anita's inspiration much of Garibaldi's later fame is due. He went home in 1847, taking her with him. There he fought once more for Italy's freedom and was again forced to flee for his life. Privation and exposure hadjjroved too much for Anita. After her husband's defeat she sickened and died in Ravenna, in 1S49. Garibaldi, heartbroken, fled to America, where he settled for a time on Staten island, only to rush back, at the first chance, to his native land, there to continue the fight for liberty, until all Italy was at last free. Then the lonely hero who had done so much for freedom's cause refused all titles and rewards, retired from public life and ended his days as a farmer on a little Italian island he had bought. Prices of all living increased, the only exception. Mrs. Austin's pancake flour. Same old price at all grocers. Preparing For the Future. In order that she may be guided by his gentle influence in the future Mrs. Lysander John Appleton has had her husband say into a phonograph. "Make that go as far as you can." After he is gone and she is a widow she will have the phonograph repeat this record to her whenever she starts downtown to spend as much as a dime. Atchison Globe.

THE SCRAP BOOK

Too Realistic. A fairly well to do but rather miserly farmer said to a friend: "Say. Bill. I'm going to kill my pig, but I owe so much pork to my neighbors that I shall have none left for myself If I pay it all back. What would you do?" "Quite easy to trick 'em." said the friend. "IvM your pig and leave it hanging outside until late at night, so's every one can see It. Then take it in and say some one stole it. Stick to the tale and you'll be all right." The farmer folFOLLOWED INSTRUCTIONS. lowed instructions, and the kind friend watched his chance aud stole the pigThe poor farmer came around next morning to tell what bad happened. "Somebody's stolen my pig!" he cried. "Good:" said the friend. "Stick to It. and the neighbors '11 believe you. sure enough"But it was stolen, I tell you!" i "Excellent!" quotu the friend. "Just you 6tick to the tale." "You confoundedass!"yelled the farmer. "Don't you understand? It was really stolen!'' "Superb!" laughed the de lighted friend. vext away "You ought to !-CMl.3. have been an actor, so you ought." Then the farmer slammed the door and went away fuming. Opportunity.

The school census taker stopped at a little hut in the mountains of Kentucky and, addressing the mother of an unusually large flock of children, said: "Madam, I am taking the school census. How many children have you between the ages of six and" "Lemme see." she broke in, "there's Katy an' Mary an' Annie an Lucy an Carrie an' Rob an' Jake an Will an' Harry an Jim an' " She paused for a breath, and her caller made baste to say: "Now. madam.

The consul in London of a continental kingdom was informed by bis government that one of his countrywomen, supposed to be living in Great Britain, had been left a million of money. After advertising without result he applied to the police, and a smart young detective was set to work. When a few weeks had gone by his chief asked him bow be was going on.

A pair of pickpockets passing caught sight of the money, and. with a rapid exchange of meaning glances, they dropped a little behind and followed the man for several blocks with the view of availing themselves of the first opportunity to relieve him of the roll. After awhile the man with the wad suddenly turned and entered a lawyer" office, (earing the pickpockets facing each other with looks of dismay. "What shall we do now?" growled one of them. "Lei us wait for the lawyer," said the other. M Elba's First Appearance. Melba's first public appearance was made at the age of six. when she sang "Comin Thro' the Itye" at a school concert. She was eager to hear what her playfellows, and one in particular, thought of her triumph. After many Indirect attempts to introduce the subject Nellie at length found herself unable to wait longer and exclaimed exclredly: "But the concert, the concert! I sang last night and was encored." Aud she looked with Interest in the face of her friend, who answered witheringly. "Yes; Nellie Mitchell and I could see your garters. Melba In "A Biography." LOST HIS MONEY. Made a Bet and Foolishly Picked the Wrong Member. There was au eminent English sergeant at law some years ago who bad a cork leg that was a triumph of artistic deception. None but his intimates knew for certain which was the real and which was the sham limb. A wild young wag of the "outer bar," who knew the sergeant pretty well, once thought to utilize this knowledge of the sergeant's secret to take in a green, newly fledged young barrister. The sergeant was addressing a special jury at Westminster In bis usual earnest aud vehement style, and the wag whispered to his neighbor: "You see how hot old Buzfuz Is over his case. Now, I'll bet you a sovereign I'll run this pin into bis leg up to the head and he'll never notice it, he's so absorbed in bis speech. lie's a most extraordinary man iu that way." This was more than the greenhorn could swallow, so he took the bet. The wag took a large pin from his waistcoat and. leaning forward, drove It up to the bead in the sergeant's leg. A yell that froze the blood of all who heard it. that made the hair of the jury stand on end and the Judge's wig almost fall off. rang through the court, "By Jove the wrong leg! I've lost my money r exclaimed the dismayed and conscience stricken wag as he fled through the door, while the lacerated lawyer danced on his cork leg and howled in agony. A Heaven of a Time. Little Helen had developed the habit of holding her thumb In ber mouth, even while eating. The mother had resorted to ail sorts of methods to cor rect the child and finally iu despera-j tlon said: "Helen, the first thing you know ! you will swallow your thumb, and then what will you do?' j "Well, mother.

a time without If." "Why. Helen!" said the astonished mother. "Where did you hear an expression like that?" "Well well." hesitated the little girl. "I didn't bear it exactly like that, mother, but I thought It would sound better." Uppincotfa. Den't Be Selfish. If we avoid sympathy and wrap ourselves round In a cold chain armor of selfishness we exclude ourselves from many of the greatest and purest joys of life. To render ourselves Insensible to pain we must forfeit also the possibility of happiness. Sir John Lubbock. Her Preference. The young man who said he'd never eaten any to somebody who asked bim lf he liked Trollope was outdone the other day In a Fifth avenue book store, says the New Tork Sun. A girl of seventeen came in and asked the clerk for Prometheus, "by a man named Kelley or Sheets or something; like that." "Oh." said the clerk. "Shelley 'Prometheus Unbound? " "Yes." replied the girl: "tnafa it But. tf you please. I'd rather have It bound; it's so easy to lose the pages, you know, tf It Isn't." The Whole Science of It. Two women walking alone one of the business thoroughfares of New York heard a great shouting of "Extry, ex try!" and looked about to see where all the noise was coming from. Across the street they spied one very snail newsboy shouting with all bis might. One of the women, attracting the boy's attention, called bim to her and bought a paper; then as she dropped the pennies Into the little fellow's band she said: "You mustn't make so much noise, my little man. You ran sell your papers just ss well without yelling so. For half a second the boy looked ap st her in surprise, then exclaimed: "You don't understand, missus; 70a have got to yell like to make m living in New York."
