Mr. Finlayson, town clerk of Stir- ling in the latter part of the seven- teenth century, was noted for the marvelous in conversation. He was on a visit to the Earl of Monteith and Airth in his castle at Taha, on the loch of Monteith, and was about taking leave when he was asked by the earl whether he had seen the sailing cherry tree. “No,” said Finlayson. of a thing is it?” “It is,”” replied the earl, ‘“‘a tree that has grown out of a goose’s mouth from a stone the bird had swallowed and which she bears about with her in voyages round the loch. It is just at present in full fruit of the most exquisite flavor. Now Finlayson,” he added, “can you, with all your powers of memory and fancy, match the story of the cherry tree?” “Perhaps I can,” said Finlayson, clearing his throat, adding, “When Oliver Cromwell was at Aith one of the cannon sent a ball to Stirling and lodged it in the mouth .of a trumpet which one of the troops in the castle was in the act of sound- ing.” “Was the trumpeter Killed?” said the earl. “No, my lord,” said Finlayson. “He blew the ball back and killed the ar- tilleryman who had fired it!”’—Pear- son’s Weekly. 45 “What sort Woman Makes Farm Pay. Mrs. Ida Webster of Pratt county, Kan., has harvested 8,000 bushels of wheat and 3,000 bushels of corn from her 800-acre farm this fall. The place was cultivated under her per- sonal supervision, and 12 men work for her all the year around, and many more in harvest time. Her hus. band died 12 years ago and left her the place and its mortgage. Sinca then she has paid off the mortgage and is now supposed to be worth $50,000. HER “BEST FRIEND” A Woman Thus Speaks of Postum. We usually consider our best friends those who treat us best. Some persons think coffee a real friend, but watch it carefully awhile and observe that it is one of the meanest of all enemies, for it stabs one while professing friendship. Coffee contains a poisonous drug— caffeine—which injures the delicate nervous system and frequently sets up disease in one or more organs of the body if its use is persisted in. “I had heart palpitation and ner- vousness for four years, and the doc- tor told me the trouble was caused by coffee. He advised me to leave it off, but I thought I could not,” writes a Wis. lady. “On the advice of a friend I tried Postum Food Coffee, and it so satis- fled me I did not care for coffee after a few days’ trial of Postum. ‘As weeks went by and I continued to use Postum my weight increased from 98 to 118 pounds, and the heart trouble left me. I have used it a year now and am stronger than I ever was. I can hustle up stairs without any heart palpitation, and am cured of nervousness. “My children are very fond of Pos- tum, and it agrees with them. My sister liked it when she drank it at my house, but not when she made it at her own home. Now she has learned to make it right, boil it ac- cording to directions, and has become very fond of it. You may use my name if you wish, as I am not ashamed of praising my best friend— Postum.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Cre2k., Mich.

Twelve years ago a daring Swede, Andree, embarked in an ordinary balloon, with the hope that the prevailing winds would carry him from his in the Spitzbergen Islands to his destination. He was never seen again, and it is probable that he met with disaster. There seemed to be a better chance of ac- | complishing the object when machin- ery was added to airships for propell- ing them. The first man to adopt the improved means of flightfor this pur- pose is Walter Wellman. After hav- ing a particularly big and fine vehicle built in Paris he went to the same archipelago that Andree had em- ployed for his preparations. Wellman planned to make his final departure for the Pole in 19086, but his airship was not satisfactory, and he abandoned the attempt temporar- ily. During last winter he had the gas bag lengthened sixteen feet, so as to secure more buoyancy, ordered a new car and added a more powerful engine than he had previously. When the summer of 1907 had advanced far enough to enable him to reach Spitzbergen again he sailed from northern Norway. During July and August the wind bothered him in various ways and discouraged any effort. About September 1 he saw that his opportunity was nearly lost, He must start soon or not at all if. he did anything this year. The cold in- creases and the daylight diminishes in the early autumn. Accordingly he made a desperate attempt, lasting three and one-half hours. So vigor- ous was the breeze that he was un- able to cope with it. As the direction of the wind was unfavorable and as the gale itself made the atrship al- most unmanageable, the only thing to do was descend and save the lives of the men in his party. A few days later he returned to the coast of Norway, and he is now on the way to Germany. Until more is known about his fail- ure, doubts must be entertained about a repetition of ‘the venture. Besides, as the money for his expedi- tion was supplied by the publighers of a Western newspaper, it will be for some one else, and not Wellman, to say whether the necessary support will be given for a third campaign. From short cable dispatches it would appear that for the short time that Wellman was in the air his ship faced a breeze blowing fifteen miles an hour without falling back. If the story is true then his airship in a calm ought to travel at about that rate. Such a speed (nearly, or quite 360 miles a day) would enable the explorer to reach the pole in two days and to return in two days under the most favorable circumstances. Still, Wellman has apparently counted on no such luck. He has planned to carry food enough for a week or ten days, and has claimed that he had more than enough gasolene for the journey on board. Some. experts believe that the art of aerial navigation has not yet been “carried so far as to make a safe jour- ney of 1200 miles possible. If the idea is not feasible to-day, however, it may be ten or fifteen years hence. If by that time the Pole has not been conquered by other means, it is pretty sure to surrender to a man who pos- sesses the qualities of an aeronaut as well as those of an explorer, Failure now may lead to success then by re- vealing what improvements are yet essential, ————_,, A Maine Landholder. One man, David Pingree, owns or controls 767,972 acres of wild lands in one Maine county alone—Aroo- stock. This represents a domain larger probably than most of the great European landowners control, Some of the European kingdoms are not much larger. In Aroostook there are 2,596,556 acres of wild lands, so that ‘‘D. Pin- gree et al.”” owns a third of the wild lands in that great county. In addi- tion thereto Coe and Pingree and D, Pingree own a great acreage in Ox- ford County. This Aroostook domain if gathered together would make a little" plat of about 120 square miles. The average valuation of Aroostook County wild lands by the State as- sessors is less than $4 an acre. So that Mr. Pingree’s holdings stand him at a valuation of about $3,000,- 000 at the outside. On this he pays State tax of .0025 on the dollar.—The Bangor News. A Tall Turtle Story. Wilbur Collard and John Hennion, two farmers of Pine Brook, N. J, were sitting yesterday on a rail fence resting after picking peaches when a turtle crawled from behind a stone and passed before them. ‘“‘Member, John, that turtle we found jest 'bout hyar one day when we were boys?’ asked Wilbur. ‘““Sure,”” was the reply, ‘‘an’ you picked up the derned creature and | cut your initials jest under those of yer granddad that we found on its belly.” Collard picked up the turtle and exclaimed: “By gum, that’s the same turtle.” Plainly cut on the shell were the initials “J. W. H., 1846,” and be- neath “W. C., 1877.” The first in- scription was made by Joseph W. Hennion, grandfarher of the man who picked up the turtoise.—New York World. : - ” A Missing Auto-Part. .By W. J. LAMPTON. The New York man, who likes to run his auto into the remote parts of the world, had got away over into one of the rear counties of Jersey. On a road which showed no signs of ever having been plowed by a scorcher, he came to a small wayside joint devoted to the entertainment of man and beast. He went in to get a little, and when he came out an ex- cellent specimen of the rural Jersey- man was inspecting the car with the greatest interest. “What in hominy is the blame thing?” inquired the curjous Jersey- man as the New Yorker approached. “Don’t you know?” laughed the New Yorker pleasantly. “Well, I thought it might be a new=- fangled thrashin’-machine, but it’s got too much furniture-polish an’ brass works on it fer that.” “Didn’t you ever see one before?” “No. They don’t use ’em round here.” “Haven't you York?” “Gee, no! What do I want to go there fer? Plenty doin’ round here to keep me busy.” The man kept nosing around the car during his talk, and was becom- ing more curious. The New Yorker was letting him have his head. He thought there might be some inter- esting developments. “Can’t you guess what is it?” he inquired after a minute. “I never was much What in hominy is it?” “It’s an automobile.” “Oh, is that so? I never seen one, but I’ve heered of ’em. What kind of a one is it?” The Jerseyman began to show signs of knowledge. He was one of the kind who make a little go a long way. “Well,” replied the New Yorker, bound to give it to him good and hard and in quantities to suit, “it is a six-cylindered compound, double- opposed motor, multiple disk-clutch, planetary transmission, removabla tonneau, water-cooled car of the lat- est design.” “Is that so?” said the Jerseyman, walking around it carefully and in- specting it like an old connoiss=ur. “How much does one of ’em cost?” “Oh, five or six thousand dollars.” “Jim-whitaker! that much mone: down?” : “Yes; and more, sometimes.” The Jerseyman walked all around it very slowly, making a close scrutiny. “There’s ordy one thing I don’t egzackly ketch,” he said, shaking his head. 2 “What's that?” inquired the New Yorker, always ready to inform. “Well, I don’t see where the dick- ens you hitch the hosses to the blame thing.” Then it became up to the New Yorker.—From Judge. ever been to New on guessin’.

Even a judge on the bench likes his joke.

BISHOPS ARE TOO WELL PAID, . One of Them Is Willing to Have His Income Reduced. The bishop of Norwich, who is this year president of the Church Con- gress, has declared that episcopal palaces are too large and too expen- sive to maintain, and that they should be sold. “When taking pos- session of the bishop's palace at Nor- wich,” he said, “I had to spend more than $15,000, and it cannot be kept up for less than $2,500 a year. If a smaller residence were provided, my stipend might be reduced by $5,000 a year.” The bishop of Norwich receives a salary of $22,500 a year, which he is willing to have reduced by $7,500. This self-denying attitude of the bishop is one of the chief unofficial topics among delegates to the Church Congress. She Did Not Fear Death. An old lady on her seventy-third birthday once said, “I do not mind get- ting old, and I do not fear death, but I live in constant dread of paralysis.” “For some time I have been want- ing to tell you of the great good your wonderful Sloan’s Liniment is doing here,” writes Mr. James F. Aber- nethy, of Rutherford College, N. C. “In fact, all your remedies are doing noble work, but your liniment beats all. In my eight years’ experience with medicine [ find none to go ahead of it, having tried it in very many cases. I know of one young man, a brick mason, who suffered from a partial, yes, almost complete, paraly- sis of one arm. I got him to use your liniment, and now he can do as much work as ever, and he sings your praise every day. I get all to use it I possibly can and know there is great virtue in it. I have helped the sale of your noble remedies about here greatly, and expect to cause many more to buy .them, as I know they can’t be beat.” Champion Typewriter Made Record. Miss Rose L.
