When I was years old I

prostration and was considered incur
able She took your Vegetable Com

CHAMPION TELLS TWO YARNS
And as Fteh Stories They Are Mighty
Hard to Beat
After supper L joined the caucus
out on the gallery of the hotel and
there friends citizens and fellow
countrymen I met up with the great
qranddaddy the genuine original ot
all the fish yarners in the world Ho
waB a small old man with a white
Veard and a serious demeanor and
Ve spolco in a low even flute toned
voice that never quaveredi I cannot
give all the talcs he told out there
but I can give a couple of samples
Said he
Up at my place a short spell ago
the boys and me cut down a big tree
After it fell we set down a vmite to
rest on the trunk and I hear some
thing making a noise inside
Boys sez I aint this tree hol
ler
No sez they its sound and
solid
Then I hear the fuss inside again
I grabbed an ax and sez I as I went
to choppin
Theres something inside this
here and Im a goin to know what
it is
By Ned There was a holler
place inside and In there was a nine
pound catfish what Id been hearin
flappin
Howd that fish get in there
asked a listener
Havent got any idea how he did
les n the tree growed around him
which I reckon it had some time or
other
For a second sample the old man
furnished the following
There was a terrible big fish said
he what used to come up the Osage
before the war and we got to hearin
so much about it that a passel of us
fellers set in to catch Jam We gol
200 feet of inch and a half rope had
the blacksmith weld us a big hook
and we put on a whole dog for bait
We set our line and soon sure
enough the fish swallered the dog
hook and all and the hook hung We
couldnt nigh pull him out though
there was ten of us so we hitched on
two yoke of oxen and after a hard
struggle we managed to drag that
fish out on the bank He was nine
toot between the eyes and his eyes
sot closer together than they ought tc
set in a fish of that size Kansas

German Colonists In Palestine
Industrial conditions in Palestine
have suffered severely from the loss tc
labor by a steady stream of emigra
tion of Palestines people to othei
parts of the earth An exception tc
this rule is presented by the parts ol
Palestine in which Europeans have
settled In these the land has beer
made to yield not only larger but fair
1 profitable harvests To the Germar
colonists a great deal of credit is due
lor their success in proving that s
great future awaits the agriculturist
and horticulturist who goes the righi
way to work in Palestines fields ant

German colony that settled on the
heights of Haifa thirty four years age

families is poor All are fairly well

serves as a very refreshing drink
Idyl of Idleness
When woes unnumbered tear your sou1
to bits
And on your brow the blues have
jammed their crown
When desperation pulls off both its mitts
And taps your solar plexus when
oure down
Buck up to sadness never thus kow
tow
Sweet Nature smiles enjoy her with o
will
Employ a sunbeam to massage vour
brows
Ask nightingales to give the standard
trill
Call jonquils John and gay carnations
Nat
Lie down in woods and gentlv swel
with glee
Climb belvideres as stealthy as a cat
Ana sranc me tiimu bits ot scenery
Ah live and laugh throughout the
idle
aay
Watch speckled cows for sunsets lie
in wait
Converse with brooks and hows that
does it pay
Well I dont know the competitions

Not a Lucrative Business
Dr Smiles did not leave so much
money behind him as did Sir H M
Stanley but in his case more than
in Stanleys the amount is likely to
represent literary earnings At any
late 370000 is not considered a bad
recompense for self help when ap
plied in a calling which apart from
the more signal successes of a few
novelists and playwrights rarely
leads on to such fortunes as are made
in soaps or pills

When a simple change of diet
brings back health and happiness the
story is briefly told A lady of
Springfield 111 says After being
afflicted for years with nervousness
and heart trouble I received a shock
four years ago that left me in such
a condition that my life was despaired
of I could get no relief from doctors
ror from the numberless heart and
ntrve medicines I tried because I
didnt know that the coffee was daily
putting me back more than the Drs
could put me ahead
Finally at the request of a friend I
left off coffee and began the use of
Postum and against my convictions I
gradually improved in health until for
the past 6 or 8 months I have been
entirely free from nervousness and
those terrible sinking weakening
spells of heart trouble
My troubles all came from the use
of coffee which I had drunk from
childhood and yet they disappeared
when I quit coffee and took up the
use uf Postum Name given by
Postum Co Battle Creek Mich
Many people marvel at the effects
of leaving off coffee and drinking
Postum but there is nothing marvel
ous about it only common sense
Coffee is a destroyer Postum is a
rebuilder Thats the reason

little book The Road to Wellville
