Phillips Fled From Ghost
Stephen Phillips the young English
man who haB come to the front with
his Uaola and Francescn Herod
and UlysEes had no thought of
literature when he started out to look
after himself He was destined by
nis father who is the precenor of
Peterborough cathedral for the Brit
ish civil service He subsequently
had a brief experience on the profes
sional stage For his further work
to publicity Mr Phillips recently
found a ghost not a literary one but
a real one in his house from which
he fled with his family ordering a
furniture mover to looit after his
household effects

after securing 3800 by means of a
draft forged on the United States
treasury and who was recently cap
tured in South Africa by officers after
a chase of over 17000 miles was not
known to fellow passengers on the
trans Atlantic liner as a criminal Dur
ing the voyage from England he mix
ed with other saloon travelers and
being a man of fine appearance and
address he had as good a time as
anybody Only when the vessel
reached her dock did the truth be
come known the officers who accom

Pierpont O Oct 5th Remarkable
Indeed is the experience of Mr A S
Turner a man now over seventy one
years of age and whose home is here
For many years this old gentleman
had suffered with a very unpleasant
form of Kidney Trouble a kind that
very often bothers aged people He
would have to get up four or five
times every night and this very tire
some disease was fast wearing him
out
At last after having almost made up
his mind that he would never be
able to get relief he stumbled over a
medicine which relieved him almost
i nmodiately and has cured him per
manently It is so very easy to get
and so simple that Mr Turner thinks
everyone should know of it Every
dealer in the country has it and all
you have to do is to ask for Dodds
Kidney Pills Mr Turner says -
I can heartily and honestly recom
mend Dodds Kidney Pills for they
cured me Several others in the fam
ily have used them too and always
with the best results I think they
have no equal

the world because they were not con

SAID TO HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED
CENTURIES AGO
Dervish in Arabia the First to Brew
the Fragrant Beverage Can Never
Be Successfully Grown In the United
States
As to the history of coffee the le
gend runs that It was first found grow
ing wild in Arabia Hadji Omar a
dervish discovered it in 1285 C17
years ago He was dying of hunger
in the wilderness when finding some
small round berries- he tried to eat
them but they were bitter He tried
roasting them and these he finally
steeped in some water held in the
hollow of his hand and found the de
coction as refreshing as if he had
partaken of solid food He hurried
back to Media from which he had
been banished and inviting the wiso
men to partake of his discovery they
were so well pleased with it that they
made him a saint
The story is told that coffee was
introduced into the West Indies in 1723
by Chirac a French physician who
gave a Norman gentleman by the
name of De Clieux a captain of infan
try on his way to Martinique a single
plant The sea voyage was a stormy
one the vessel was driven out of her
course and drinking water became
so scarce that it was distributed in ra
tions De Clieux with an affection
for his coffee plant divided his por
tion of water with it and succeeded in
bringing it to Martinique although
weak not in a hopeless condition
There he planted it in his garden pro
tected it with a fence of thorns and
watched it daily until the end of the
year when he gathered two pounds of
coffee which he distributed among the
inhabitants of the island to be plant
ed by them From Martinique coffee
trees in turn were sent to San Domin
go Gaudaloupe and other neighbor
ing islands
The coffee tree is an evergreen
shrub growing in its natural state to
a height of fourteen to eighteen feet
It is usually kept trimmed however for
convenience in picking the berries
which grow along the branches close
to the leaves and resemble in shape
and color ordinary cherries The tree
cannot be grown above the frost line
neither can it be successfully grown
in the tropics The most successful
climate for production is that found
at an altitude of about 4000 feet Any
thing much above this is in danger of
frost which is fatal to the tree and
when coffee is grown much below this
it requires artificial shade which ma
terially increases the cost of produc
tion and does not produce as market
able berries It is owing to this par
ticular requirement that coffee has
never been successfully produced in
the United States Success
ORDEALS OF A DOCTOR
Sad Things Encountered in the Prac
tice of Medicine
It is often claimed by outsiders that
having a profession dulls a womans
sympathies but I cannot believe that
this is true in the jractice of medi
cine where one side of the work is so
immeasurably sad I have seen a
baby that came after fifteen years oi
waiting and hoping and was rejoiced
over daily and hourly for u wonderful
year suddenly struck down and gasp
its little life out in a day with pneu
monia These are the times when it
hurts to be a doctor to find that all
the knowledge that you possess all
the skill at your command is as so
much chaff before the wind To have
a woman cling to you begging you
to save her baby is an ordeal to
which no human being can grow cal
lous You must teel as though the
brand of Cain were upon you when
with all your efforts you cannot save
the little life Not years nor experi
ence can lighten hours such as these
Autobiography of a Woman Physi
cian in Everybodys Magazine
Evening
The sun is set the swallows are asleep
The bats are ilittinj fast in the gray
air
The slow soft toads out of damp corners
creep
And evenings breath wandering here
and there
Over the quivering surface of the stream
Wakes not one ripple from its summer
dream
There is no dew on the dry grass to
night
Nor damp within the shadow of the
trees
The wind is intermitting dry and light
And in the inconstant motion of the
breeze
The dust and straws are driven up and
down
And whirled about the pavement of the
town
The chasm in which the sun has sunk is
shut
By darkest barriers of enormous loud
Like mountain over mountain huftJled
but
Growing and moving upwards in a
crowd
And over it space of water blue
When the keen evening star is shining
through

ITS A MISTAKE
To Attribute Coffee Ills to Poor
Grades of Coffee
Many people lay all the blame for
the diseases caused by coffee upon
the poorer grades of coffee but this is
an error as the following proves I
have used every kind of the best
grade of tea and coffee that can be
got from a first class grocer but never
found one that would not upset my
nervous system and it was not until I
began to drink Postum Food Coffee
in place of coffee ana tea that I had
relief from the terrific attacks of
nervous sick headache from which I
had suffered for 30 years
I had tried all kinds of medicines
but none helped me
Soon after I stopped drinking cof
fee and began to drink Postum tho
headaches grew less and it was not
long until I was entirely cured and
I have never had a return of this dis
tressing trouble for nowadays I never
drink coffee but stick to Postum
As soon as my wife saw what Pos
tum had done for me sho gave up
coffee which she had drank all her
life This was six weeks ago and
she is a changed woman for her ner
vousness has all disappeared and her
lace has become smooth and her
cheeks have a good rosy red color
She sleeps well too something she
could never do while she drank cof
fee We consider Postum a house
hold necessity in my house and have
induced many friends to try this
wonderful food drink in place of cof
fee Name given by Postum Co
