COFFEE HEART Very Plain In Some People. SA great many people go on suffering :from annoying ailments for a long time before they can get their own consent to give up the indulgence from whieh their trouble arises. A gentleman in Brooklyn describes his experience, as follows: "I became satisfied some months ago that I owed the palpitation of the heart from which I suffered almost daily, to the use of coffee, (I had been acoffee drinker for 80 years) but I fudit very hard to give up the bev erage. "One day I ran across a very son siblo and straightforward presenta ton of the claims of Postum, and was so impressed thereby that I con 'isactrytil Ilearned how it ought tbeprepared--by thorough boiling for not less than 15 or 20 minutes. After I learned that lesson there was no trouble. "Postum proved to be a most palat. able and Satisfactory hot beverage .and I have used it ever since. - "The effect on my health has beer most salutary. The heart palpitatior from which I used to suffer so much particularly after breakfast, has dis appeared and I never have a return 01 it except when I dine or lunch away from home and drink the old kind of coffee because,. Postum is not served I find that Postum cheers and invig orates while it produces no harmfu: stimulation." Name given by Postun Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Ten days' trial proves an eye open.3 to many, Read the little book, "The Road tA Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Rea Son.", .0 Ever read the above letter ? A new one appears from time to time. The, ae genine, true, and tall of humi T1 Man That By NETT Captain Turner had leave of absence for three months, but he had enough private business down on Long Island ag1 in New York to keep him busy. He had purchased a country home for his widowed mother, and that had to be fixed up. There were many things to be bought in the city and a dozen friends he had to look up at their various clubs. Thus it happened that he took the train into town almost every day, and at night took the train out again. Judge Eldridge lived at the next station below, and the judge had a lovely daughter named Edith. She and her father or mother often took the train into town and back again, but the reason that the captain did not catch sight of her during the first week was because Judge Eldridge and his wife took a trip to Europe and left her behind in the care of Aunt Susan, the judge's sister, who had come on from Pennsylvania to not as guardian and chaperon. Aunt Susan was an old-fashioned woman, with old-fashioned notions. The day that the judge and his wife departed she took Miss Edith out. under the apple tree and said: "My dear, you must realize that things have changed. Until your pa'r ents return you will be in my charge. There is to be no more flirting with the young man at the railroad station. There is to be no more flirting on the train. There is to be no sudden fall ing in love If you plan any elopement I shall surely frustrate it. I shall look for you to assume a haughty de meanor and give all men to under stand that you are the daughter of Judge Eldridge." This was unfair to the girl. She was not a flirt and said she was not imprudent. It was more that the old lady was too much of a Puritan. She was of the opinion that young ladies .. 4-MON."

"Why didn't you thank him instead of bowing so coldly?" whispered the unt a moment later. "Because my role is to be one of haughty indifference. That man needs only the slightest encouragement to try to flirt with me." It seemed as if Providence was with the soldier that day, while fate was against him. As they left the train, Edith dropped her bag and he picked it up. As the two ladies entered a cab, the horse took fright and would have bolted if the captain had not sprung for his head. Aunt Susan tried to mumble her thanks, but the girl drew herself up stiffly and gave the cold glare. "He will certainly think you have no breeding," protested the aunt as they were driving down town. "le will simply realize that I am a girl who cannot be tempted into an elopement," was the cutting rejoinder. Captain Turner had not been seek. Ing an opportunity. He was no such man as that. Events had come along naturally, and he hadn't expected any effusive thanks, but he was nettled a bit by the haughty indifference shown by the young lady. Two days later, while lie was going over to Jayville in an auto he had hired for the season and was running himself, he came upon a scene by the roadside. Edith and her aunt were out in the judge's auto, which the girl had managed on fifty previous occasions, and all was going well when a' wheel dropped into a hole, and the two were thrown out. The passengers had just picked them. selves up and ascertained that they had suffered only a bruise or two, when the soldier came whizzing up. Of course, he stbpped and offered his aid. The aunt looked to Edith, but Edith turned her shoulder and iut tered something about walking hone and sending the chauffeur after the machine. Then Aunt Susan had to say: "If you would only be so kind, sir!" and the captain, with the help of two farmers who came along, right ed the auto and found that it could be run home under its own power. Aunt Susan was profuse in her thanks, but Miss Edith only slightly bowed her acknowledgments. "I thought you had some manners about you." exclaimed the chaperon as they were honeward bound. "After all his trouble, the gentleman de served something more than the icy bow you gave him." "Auntie, when you have seen as nuch of the world as I have," sagely replied the nineteen-year-old girl, "you will know how to read men bet ter. That gentleman simply wants to flirt with me, and I shall not encour age him in thle slightest." The red sp)ots on the aunt's cheeks enlargedl and becamie more viv-id, andl hler teeth made a gr'ating noise, but wh'lat could she do about it? She had laid dlown thle law and must abide by it. Of course, the captain dliscover'ed the identity of the proud andl haughty gir-l. lie wvas bound to do that. When a gentleman has been repeatedly snubbed b~y a good-looking young ladly he is just as anxious to learn the name of the snubbess as he would be if he0 was in love, lie got inito tile habit of going to the depot every (lay. If the ladies took the train, he took it also. If they (lid not appear-, lhe re turned home, ie also rodec out in his auto, and when he did not meet thlem, lhe retur-ned homle withl the feeling that ho 'was an ill-used man. Even when he journeyed up town in the same car with thenm, Aunt Susan sim ply bobbed heCr head in doubtful recog nition, wvhile Edith looked str-aight past him or over his head. When two weeks had gone by, the captain went off to a golf club for the day, and dlid not leave for home in his auto until nine o'clock. It lengthened his Jour ney b~y four' miles to come by way of Judge Eldridge's manor. lHe was applroaching the houlse whenl h~e was hailed by a man at the road side anid a few words passed betwveen them. Theo man was told to comie on, but lhe continued his way. The cap tain and the auto turned in at the lodge and made for the front door. and the machine had not yet colme to a hale when the soldier wvas bounding up the steps andi flinging open the front door. In the sitting-rooml, to the left of the hail, sat two women, tied to their chairs, and in the dining room boyond three men were packing up the household silver and pausing now and then to sip of the judge's best. There was just a moment of hesitation, andi then the soldier ap peared before tile trio, ie had a r volver in his hlandl, but lie usetti it only as a club. lIe struck right andl~ left, and he struck hard. The fellows went toppling over before they 'olid understand what had broken loose. Then the women were untied, the cords used to bind the others, and wheni all was finlished the soldIIEr ml quired if ho could be of any help. Aunt Susan coughed and( gulped and choked up and could not answer. Edith l'ioked lher full in the face and asked: "Aun me, may I flirt einugh witi thIs gentleman to answer' hIs ques.' tion ?" "You may flirt-you m1ay fall in love-you may elope-you miay get Imarried!" was the sobingm answer as the dear o1(1 Puritan laid her' head on the table.

While It is true Mr. Ci1, A w - -. )orn in a log cabin, he did th. b. A ., 3ould under the circumstances and Ihose for his birthplace in the Blue. rrass State a humble farm cottage tmong the cliffs along the Kentucky 'Iver in Anderson county. The cot. age was a small affair, with low cell. ugs, and was constructed of rough ,lapboards. It was the characteristio )ioneer home of the period. There rere three rooms, the bedroom, the ritting room and the kitchen and din ng room combined. At the time of Clark's birth there were no railroads in this section of he country, and the farmers rode on iorseback to the nearest "grocery itore" and postofilce for their supplies mnd mail. James Beauchamp Clark, son of fames Hampton and Alethea Jane leauchamp Clark, was born Mai ch 7, [850, on a little farm in Anderson ,ounty, four miles south of Louisville. Ills father, John Hampton Clark, vas a native of New Jersey, and was )orn where Atlantic City now stands. 1e was a wanderer, and after roving roi Philadelphia to New Orleans and 1P the Mississippi and the Ohio to Kouisville he finally drifted to Law 'enceburg and settled there. Shortly ifter arriving at Lawrenceburg ho met Alethea Beauchamp, a frail, beautiful irl, and after an ardent wooing they xere married. He was an educated nan, a mechanical genius and an ar lent exponent of Democratic doctrine. John Clark, after marrying, took up .inkering with old clocks and doing lental work. lie rode over Anderson mad Washington counties mending old locks and practicing dentistry and ex )ouinding Democratic principles. Mrs. Clark was also well educated or those days, having received six rears' "schooling" in a convent. There were three children-Margar At Louise, the eldest, who died in in 'ancy; James Beauchamp, known to he political world as "Champ," and Eizabeth, now Mrs. Elizabeth Clark Fialey. After seven years of hapoi Clark's Boyhood Hom. ness Mrs. Clark died and the body was !aid to rest in the old cemetery there. She was the first person to be buried in the little burying ground which had been set aside by the pioneers of An derIsonl counity, Mr. Clark was in ill health at. the time of the death of his wife, and how to bring up the two little children was a serious problem. Ho found an aged, childless couple in an adjoining county, who., under his supervision. took charge of Champ and his little ister. It was with this aged couple thm.~ the future Democratic leader lived umn til he was 1 1 years old, when his fath er moved to Mackville, where there wvas a larger school and gr'eater' ad vantages for his children. THE COSTLIEST PERFUME Attar of Roses Used by Manufactur era of Smoking and Chewing Tobaccos. Chiengo.-Today the average mcer son does not hear' so much. ahmit attar of roses as was the case a few y'ears back. The druggist may be able to drag out, a samall -vial of it fr'onm the rear' of a closet shelf, its quantity, per ::hance, reduced by half wvith tihe pass lag of years; but it is more than like ly that lie will have none at all in stock. What's the use? No one asks for it any more. That does not mean, however, that there is not plenty of the famous per ?ume to be had. Ask seine big wvholo saler of drugs and ho will doubtless be able to tell you quite a different story from the retailer. Very likely he will open the door of a safe and show you what $10,000 worth of the precious stuff looks like all at once. That is not much in bulk, as it is worth $5 or so an ounce, wholesale. As a matter of fact, more thlan $50, 000 worth of attar of roses is brought Into this country every year. The best is from roses grown near Con stantinople. Not only does this bring a higher price than the product of the Bulgarian rose fields, but its sulperi.. ority is recognizeod by a separate classification in the trade. Where hoes the $50,000 worth of this oily perfume go? Some of it as "base" for other perfumes, and some of it 'where few suspect-to the manufac turers of smoking and chewing to Home Town Helps 'IVIC PROGRESS IS NATIONAL Nr'd t."- o Mo er ' S, orn i t I0 rospective residents and- ano0 tWe urest method of increasing their >opulation.

ALWAYS A GOOD INVESTMENT Money Spent for the Beautifying of Cities Returns Always to the People. Thle Belgians have gone on the theory that by pleasing the eye the contentment of the people is increas ed to a very considerable degree. Magnificent parka,. civic centers and buildings aro the result, and accord ing to a writer on this subject in The Newv Age: "Experience has shown that the money spent by the municipalities of Belgium in their attempts to beautify whenever and wherever possible has been recovered a hundredfold, by rea son of the fact that the more attrac tive the city the longer the visitor lingers and tho more money he spends. "The wiser heads have discovered that the City Beautiful is not a lux ury, but a necessity for the welfare of the people and uplifting of tho na tion." The same results will be true in the case of Denver, where the cam paign for the city beautiful has al ready given the municipality a widoe rep~utation for progressiveness andl is already attracting tens of thousands of visitors and many new residents annually. The Unit of Socil Life. -rhero is no sustained social life un less enoutgh people live in continuous close touch, and the village is the unit which is multiplied to form cities. Cities are, socially, collections of villages, and the larger the city the more plainly is this fact made apparent. It is certain that there must be a definite number of people closely and constantly associated to form a village, and it is certain that when the number becomes too largo to permit of intimate and constant association there is another village formed, within or alongside the orig inal village. The question of the defb, imition of the word village must rest upion this fact. Whoever is able to determine what number of pieople can remain in social association can de flno the bounds of the village. Landscape Gardening at School. When the question of organizing an limpirovement society is broached many have been heard to exclaim: "I don't see that much good could be (lone in our community."
