THE NORTIT PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY TRTBUME. Weste ana tc Boom SMning-up Days Arm Hero Us Shino Is DIAMOND HAS MANY VIRTUES I But According to Superstition the Gem Must Be a Gift to Person Who Wears It. According to superstition (nnd to fact nlso), tho owner of a diamond Is lucky indeed. The diamond should he worn upon the left side, for It Is of greater virtue there, for the strength of Its growing Is toward the North, that Is the left side of the world, and the left part of a man when he turneth. his face toward tho East. Ho who carries a diamond will have strength and manhood; It will keep him from harm, especially from iiroken llnihs. It wlfl give him vic tory over all his enemies If his cause Is righteous. It will keep him from strife and riots, and Is a talisman against enchantments. In fact, if an enchanter tries to work a spell upon the possessor of a diamond he will find It will worlc upon himself Instead. No wild heast will nttack the diamond owner. It heals all manner of mental troubles. If poison be brought near It, the diamond will become moist nnd sweat. In order to bo of the greatest virtue, the diamond must be given freely Instead of being bought. Careful. "Did you tell your wife you had a new1 typewriter?" "I did.

Whatever his trials, the farmer does not know the horror of having no food In his cupboard Vivian. Why should you follow a crooked path ? Often a cowpath has been allowed to become a village street, and as the village expanded, tradition ha3 made the winding way an expres sion of a cow's will. Habit is always forging chains to enslave us, so that what has been found bearable by tho fathers is accepted by the aans. Who cannot recall the coffee-pot Mother put on the stove early in the morning, warning ua not to let it boil over? As children, we were not permitted to drink tea or coffee, because it would stunt our growth or make us nervous and irritable. When older, however, we craved a hot drink with meals, and custom gave us our tea or coffee. Finally upon the instructions of the doctor, Mother gave up her tea and coffee. But that meant nothing in our young lives. Our vitality was then strong enough to throw off any ill effects. But our time came, and we learned by ex perience that we could not drink tea or coffee. When we had it for breakfast it put our nerves on edge. When we drank it at the evening meal, we tossed about in wakefulness most of the night. And then we found Postum, a pure cereal beverage, free from the harmful drug, caffeine, in tea and coffee. We liked the rich, satisfying flavor of Postum and also the better health which re sulted. And, too, we were surprised to find how many of our neighbors had made the same dis covery had learned the value of "health first.'' Postum comes in two forms: Instant Postum (in tins) made Instantly in the cup by the addition of boiling; water. Postum Cereal (in packages of larger bulk, for those who prefer to make the drink while the meal is being prepared) made by bolllngfor20 minutes. Sold by all grocers.

A traveling fair had 7lslted the little country town, nnd a fete had been ar ranged, and a flower show, and every thing pointed to a very gny day to be enjoyed by all. Farmers from far and near were ex pected to come Into town, and much trade was expected to be done by tho local tradesmen. One of tho leading shopmen went to the nearest city to buy a supply of stuff to sell during the fete. His wife stayed at homo to attend to the shop In his nbsence. The first thing that he bought was a quantity of confetti. He sent that home by carter overnight, nnd wired to his wife as follows: "Am sending 100 pounds of confetti. Watch for It" Next day he received this wire from his wife: "Confetti Is here. How do you cook It?" Glasgow Scotsman. A Good Question. She had the money nnd he a small Job. He wished to get married very badly, but she was rather undecided. One night as they snt talking about the future, he having coaxed her Into a halfway engagement, ho said. "And we'll bo very careful and not run Into debt nnd have trouble as the SIssons did. We'll always pay cash won't we, denr?" A suspicious look came on to her face. Quickly she put forth the ques tion. "Whoso cash?" A dog's bark Is worse than his bite; but, unfortunately, a mosquito doesn't bark. It's as easy to lose money ns it la (lifllcult to make It.
