But wif joy Ah stahts a-dancit Ah knows turkey-day 's advancin’ When mammy stahts a-bakin’ punkin-pies. Pr revaen. IN DANGER. O'Rooty— HE KNEW.

Born to the wife of Jack Quail, Thursday the 8th, triplets—a fine covey. Jack is so swelled up he has forgotten his gun-shy bachelor days.

EXPERIENCE REQUIRED, HE young man with the tan shoes was teasing the girl with the blond pompadour for a kiss. “ Tell me,” she demanded, look- ing straight into his eyes, “have you ever kissed a girl before ?

ATIRICAL cartoonists Had better have a care, And ask, ere they attack him, How’ much will Teddy bear?

THINGS TO LEARN. “For many years I have used coffee and refused to be convinced of its bad effect upon the human system,” writes a veteran school-teacher. “Ten years ago I was obliged to give up my much-loved work in the public schools after years of continuous labor. I had developed a well-defined case of chronic cofiee-poisoning. “The troubles were constipation, flut- terings of the heart, a thumping in the top of my head and various parts of my body, twitching of my limbs, shaking of my head, and, at times after exertion, a general ‘ gone” feeling, with a toper's de- sire for very strong coffee. Iwas a nerv- ous wreck for years. “A short time ago friends came to visit us, and they brought a package of Postym with them and urged me to try it. 1 was prejudiced, because some years ago I had drunk a cup of weak, tasteless stuff called Postum, which I did not like at all. “This time, however, my friend made the Postum according ‘to directions on the package and it won me. Suddenly I found myself improving in a most decided fashion, «The odor of boiling coffee nc longer tempts me. I am so greatly benefited by Postum that, if I continue to improve as [am now, I'll begin to think I have found the Fountain of Perpetual Youth, This is no fancy letter, but stubborn facts, which Iam glad to make known.” Name given by Postum Co., Battie Creek, Mich.
