None Came to Claim the Body of Old
George, the CornetlsL
About us everywhere in tlio flotsam
of the human tldo aro drifting myste
ries wo accept without Inquiry. There
aro such people in Hacrurueuto as "Old
Ocorgo, tho cornetlst," who recently
fell doad In New York city.
Day after day ho appeared at tho
same corner, offered his familiar tunes
to the admiring children and tho some
times abjuring adults, and collected
tho pennies wherewith to buy food,
clothing and shelter.
No one over asked him his right
name, but tho children loved him.
Then one morning, as Old Georgo
raised his horn to his lips, It clat
tered to the pavement, nntl tho song
he was planning to give the crowd
rattled in his throat as ho toppled over
dead.
Tho children mourned him for sev
eral days. No ono enrao to claim his
tody.
Dctter Than War.
"Tho wholo world Is preparing for
war," said William Jennings Bryan at
it pacifist dinner.
"I know a man In Miami whoso good
lady suddenly went in for spiritual
ism. Did ho declare wnr? No; ho
did not. He did better.
"Instead of declaring war, tho Mi
ami man took to accompanying his
wife to all her spiritualistic seances,
untl at every seance he got the hand
toiiip medium to procuro him messages
from his first wifo. who was dead
and, nh, such tender, such loving mes
sages as they were!
"By this method tho Miami man
fcoon put an end to tho spiritualistic
Idea In his household."
Reasonable Aspiration.
"I suppose you have high ambitions
for your boy?"
"Well, I wouldn't say that exactly;
but I do hope that ho won't turn out
to be tho malo assistant to a female
dancing teachor."
Concentrated
Satisfaction
A great many former users
of tea and coffee have learned
that there is a pure food
beverage made from wheat,
which has a delightful flavor.
It never exacts of its users
the tribute of sleeplessness,
heart-flutter, headache and
other ills often caused by the
drug, caffeine, in coffp and
tea.
Instant
Postum
suggests the snappy flavor of
mild javn coffee, but is abso
lutely free from caffeine or
any harmful ingredient In
stant Postum is in con
densed, soluble form, and
wonderfully convenient for
the home for the picnic
for travel everywhere.
If tea or coffee interferes
with comfort or success, as
it does for many users, try a
shift to Postum.
