WASN'T A FIVE O'CLOCK TEA
Class One of Chess Fanatics Properly
Objected to Garrulousness of
His Opponent.
Two elderly chess fanatics were ab
sorbed In a gamo at the Mechanics
Institute in San Francisco recently.
Both were experts and rigid follow
ers of all the rulos or tho game, writ
ten and otherwise. For nearly flve
'hours neither had spoken a word.
Backward and forward, moving and
countermoving, the game swung, with
no perceptible advantage to either
player. Finally one of the old fel
lows made a fatal, break. Quick as a
flash his opponent moved his knight
into position and softly murmured,
-Check!"
Tho other player, making no effort
to conceal his displeasure, rose from
the game.
"What'B the matter?" demanded his
friend. "Going to quit?"
"I certainly am. I'll bo hanged If I
can play chess with a darned old chat
terbox!" Saturday Evening Post
Not Always.
"Ono reaps what one sows."
"Allow me to differ with you."
"How so?"
"When one sows wild oats one gen
erally reaps a crop of lemons."
If some people have any good in
them they evidently keep it bottled up
pretty tight.
And many a sober young man turns
out to be a gay old boy.

years with catarrh of tho bladder, and
palpitation of the heart, caused by
coffee. Was unable to work at all

"I had stomach trouble, was weak
and fretful so I could not attend to
my housework both of us using cof
feo all the time and not realizing it
wob harmful.
"One morning the grocer's wife
said she believed coffee was the causa
or our trouble and advised Postum. I
took it home rather dubious what my
husband would say he was fond of
coffee.
"But I took coffoo right off the table
and we haven't used a cup of it since.
You should have seen the chango in
us, and now my husband never com
plains of heart palpitation any more.
My stomach trouble went away in two
weeks after I began Postum. My chil
dren love it, rand it does them good,
which can't bo Bald of coffee.
"A lady visited us who was usually
half sick. I told her I'd make her a
cup of Postum. She said it was taste
less stuff, but sho watched me make
It, boiling It thoroughly for 15 minutes,
and when done, sho said it was splen
