He is a great drinker of coffee, but never uses liquor or to­ bacco. He makes his home with a son and grandchild in the old house where he was born. Not long ago he walked to the village store with his granddaughter, Alice McGregor, aged 22 years, and on returning home old age and youth were obliged to ascend a hill.

ANTHONY A BELIEVER. Made Statement of Religious Creed on His Deathbed. Shortly before his death CoL D. R.. Anthony of Leavenworth said that if. an epitaph were to be put on his tombstone it should give the date of birth and death and this summary of his life: "He helped make Kansas a free state. He fought to save the union. He published the Daily Times for nearly forty years in the interest of Leavenworth. He was no hypo­ crite." As he seared the end he called one of the members of the family to his bedside and dictated the follow­ ing statement relative to his religious ideas: "I die in full confidence of a divine power who made and controls the universe. Whatever was made by that divine power is perfect and re­ mains perfect. We should do unto others as we would be done by. ! don't believe God ever created a devil.

Commissioner of Pensions Ware on Nov. 14 tendered his resignation to the president and it was accepted, to take effect Jan. 1. For years it has been definitely known that Mr. Ware would retire from his office soon after the fall elections and return to his home in Kansas to resumg his law practice. It is believed that Commis­ sioner Ware's action was not due to any suggestion that the severance of his relations with the pension office would be agreeable to the president. CALLED THE JUDGE'S BLUFF. Lawyer Well Acquainted With the Habite of His Honor. Congressman Bankhead, of Ala bama, has a weakness for gambling stories. One that he tells is or a time when a spasmodic attempt was being made to drive gamesters out of Mo­ bile. A witness was on the stand testifying for the defense, it being well known that the judge was a skill­ ful poker player. The witness talked of "going blind," "raising," "passing" and so on, and finally his honor said gravely: "Mr. Jackson, you are using a good many of what I presume are technical terms. Will you be good enough to explain some of them?" The witness, with equal gravity, re­ plied: "I shall be pleased to do so, you honor, if you will kindly let me have your poker deck for a few mo­ ments." Regretted Voting 8o Soon.

"WHACKS" feet Heart Disease Carries Off Fampqs Scotch Yacht Designer. George Lennox Watson, yacht de­ signer, who has for some time past, been ill, died at his residence in: Glasgow, Scotland, Nov. 12. Heart disease was the cause. In the death of George L. Watson, the yachting world has lost, from its ranks one of the most prominent sup­ porters of the sport and the world of naval architecture one of its leading members. Mr. Watson was almost as well known in America as in Europe,, and the results of his labors as a de­ signer of both racing and cruising craft are quite as familiar to American yachtsmen as to those abroad. His efforts to design a vessel that would win the America's cup made him a conspicuous figure this side of the At­ lantic, and though his failures in the Thistle, in the Valkyries and the Shamrock ^11. are matters of well remembered yachtlffg history, his productions in this line Invariably frightened the defenders of the old trophy, and thus the New York Yacht qeosgt z neEooY - Club, togeuier with the millions of our patriotic citizens only breathed with freedom when his vessels were de­ feated in the last races of their Inter­ national matches • «•' v*' * | ie.i-Af.- And What They Mean. When Id Motber^Nature givss yon a "whack" remember "there's a rea­ son," so try and say "thank you," then set about finding what you have done to demand the rebuke, and try and get back into line, for that's iha happy place after all. • Curious how many highly organized people fail to appreciate and heed the first little, gentle "whacks" of the good old Dame, but go right along with the habit whatever it may be. that causes her disapproval. Whiskey, Tobacco, Coffee, Tea or other unnat­ ural treatment of the body, until seri­ ous illness seta in or somQ chronic disease. Some people seem to get on very well with those things for a while, and Mother Nature apparently cares but little what they do. Perhaps she has no particular plans for' them and thinks it little use to waste time in their training. There are people, however, ***ho seem to be selected by Nature to "do things." The -bid Mother expects them to carry out some department of her great Owork. A portion of thes 3 select­ ed ones oft and again seek to stimu­ late and then deaden the tool (the body) by some one or more of the drugs--Whiskey, Tobacco, Coffee, Tea, Morphine, etc. You know all of these throw down the same class of alkaloids In Chemi­ cal analysis. They stimulate and then depress. They take from man or wom­ an the power to do hia or her best work. After these people have drugged for a time, they get a hint, or mild "whack" to remind them that they have work to do, a mission to perform, and Bhould be about the business, but are loafing along the wayside and be­ come unfitted for the fame and for­ tune that waits for them if they but stick to the course and keep the body clear of obstructions so it can carry out the behests of the mind. Sickness is a call to "coma up high­ er." These hints come in various forms. It may be stomach trouble or bowels, heart, eyes, kidneys or general nervous prostration. You may depend upon it when a "whack" comes it'a a warning to quit some abuse and do the right and fair thing with the body. Perhaps it is coffee drinking that Offends. That is one df the greatest causes of human disorder among Americans. Now, then, if Mother Nature Is gen­ tle with you and only gives light, littl? "whacks" at first to attract attention, don't abuse her consideration, or Bhe will soon hit you harder, sure. And you may be sure she will hit you very, very hard if you Insist on following the way you have been go­ ing. It seems hard work to give up a habit, and we try ail sorts of plans to charge our ill feelings to some other cause than the real one. Coffee drinkers when ill will attri­ bute the trouble to bad food, malaria, overwork and what not, but they keep on being sick and gradually getting worse until they are finally forced to quit entirely, even the "only one cup a day." Then they begin to get bet­ ter, and unless they have gone long enough to set up some fixed organic disease, they generally get entire.y well. * It is easy to quit coffee at once and for all, by having well made Postum, with its rich, deep seal brown color which comes to the beautiful golden brown when good cream is added, anu the. crisp snap of good, mild Java is there if the Pottum has been boiled long enough to ring it out. It pays to be well and happy for good old Mother, Nature then tends us her blessings of many and various kinds and helps us to gain fame aud fortune. Strip off the handicaps, leave out the deadening habits, heed Mothsr Nature's hints, quit being a loser and become a winner. She will help you sure if you cut out the things that keep you back.

Although J. Pierpont Morgan is credited with gifts to philanthropic enterprises which reach $1,000,000 a year, his name does not appear on any of the ten buildings in the city which were built with his money. The greatest, secrecy surrounds his charit­ able work, which is much more ex­ tensive than is generally supposed. As a matter of fact, Mr. Morgan is well up toward the head of the great giv­ ers of the world. One of his chief philanthropies is keeping boys off the street. As vestryman in St. George's church in Stuyvesaat square, Man­ hattan, he has organized a club tor this purpose, and out of the club has grown the New York Trade school, as well as a smaller trade school con­ nected with the church. Mr. Morgan endowed the first club with $500,000. Among the gifts of Mr, Morgan are $1,000,000 to Harvard college, $1,350,- 000 for a private hospital in Stuyve- sant square, $500,000 for the Cathe­ dral of St. John the Divine, $100,000 for the Young Men's Christian asso­ ciation, $500,000 for the Loomis Hos­ pital for Consumptives, $100,000 for a library in Holyoke, Mass., where his father was born; $125,000 for preserv­ ing the palisades, $350,000 for a new parish house and rectory in Stuyve- sant square, $500,000 for the collec­ tion of porcelains *«nd $1,000,000 for the Tiffany gem collection for the Metropolitan museum.

An English writer, commenting on the rumor that Gen. Kuropatkin al­ lowed horses and mules to graze among the graves of honored Chinese dead, declares that Chinese are not likely to be much shocked at such a circumstance. He says that the re­ ligions of the orient, of course except­ ing Mohammedanism, are mere rituals without meaning--rthe dead husks of forgotten faiths. He tells of a China man whom he found burning counter­ feit bank bills as "a sacrifice to his joss.1 It was pointed out to him that the sacrifice was useless, as the notes were worthless. To this the China­ man replied, with a knowing leer: "Joss no savvy " Zangwill's Explanation. Tfee old saying that "only lords.

The modern insurance agent has a sort of painless method of extracting a policy. Here is one that works Where a good many others fail: Jones is an insurance agent and he meets Brown, who abhors solicitors of ail kinds. Says Jones: " i "You are not looking well these days, Brown." 4 "That so? I didn't know it, .What's, the^natter with me?" * "Well, you seem to be off color and under weight. ̂ I don't belieye you could pass an examination for insur­ ance." Brown sniffs in contempt. "I don't think you appreciate how strict insurance examinations are," says Jones, mysteriously. "It is a good deal harder to get a $10,000 pol­ icy than to pass the physical examina­ tion for West Point." "I can do it," says Brown, although not j confidently. Jones has touched him in a tender spot, for he used to be a champion athlete. "Go up to the office and see," says Jones. "You needn't taKe out any in­ surance. I just have a little curiosity to see whether you can pass." ' Brown has a little curiosity on the subject, tpo, and he goes to the exam­ ination with a little anxiety. The com­ pany physician taps him all over, weighs him and--pronounces him a "fine specimen of physical manhood." And Brown is so pleased at his little triumph that he takes but a policy with Jones.

PERUNA is known from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Letters of congrat­ ulation and commendation testify­ ing to the merits of Peruna as a catarrh remedy are pouring- in from every State of the Union. 1 Dr. II art man is receiving hundreds | of such letters daily. All classes write these letters, from the highest to the lowest. \ The Outdoor laborer, the indoor arti: san, the clerk, the editor.the statesman, the preacher--all agree that Peruna is the catarrh remedy of the age. The stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their greatest enemy, are es­ pecially enthusiastic in their praise and testimony. Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is well-nigh universal; almost omnipresent. Peruna is the only absolute safeguard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh of its victims. Peruna not only cures catarrh, but prevent* it. Every household should be Bupplled with thlm great remedy for cough*, colds mod so forth. The Ex-Governor of Oregon is an ardent admirer of Peruna. He keepa it continually in the house. In a letter to The Peruna MedidbM Co., he says: - * Statk or Oregojt, 1 ^ Executive Department, | ̂ The Peruna Medicine Co..

Thar reason for this is, most other ailment* begin with a cold. Using Peruna to promptly core colda,^ he protects his family against othe* ailments. This is exactly what every othefr family in the United States should do--• keep Peruna in the house. Use it fo#J cdughs, colds, la' grippe and othe*; climatic affections of winter, and ther# will be no other ailments in the house#; Such families should provide them* selves with a copy of Dr. Hartm&n^ free book, entitled, "Chronic Catarrh.* Address Dr. S.
