RETURNED RIGHT ANSWER
NJght Watchman In'-Department of
Justice Scored a Hit “on His
Own Judgment."
Not long ago a brand now watchman
was appointed us a night guard in the
department o£ Justice. He assumod
his dutloB, filled with the importance
of hlB responsibilities. In Instructing
him an oftlclal said:
"Now, If anything unexpected hap
pens during the night Just use your
•own Judgment In dealing with the mat-
tor."
That night, as the watchman sat at
the door, there came a wire from some
ofllclal In California asking the dopurt-
mont whether there was any law
against a certain thing.
Now this was tlio time, so thought
the watchman, to “act on your own
Judgment?’ He gave the boy a reply
which rend: “I don’t know of any,”
and the telegram was sent.
A high ofllclal learnod of the matter
and placed It before the attorney gen-
oral. That officer smiled at the answer
given and remarked: “Well, he’s right
about It—I don’t know any law against
It either.”—Washington Stnr.
Getting All Sewed Up.
It was several days after arriving
home, from the front that the soldier
with the two broken ribs watf sitting
up and smoking a cigar when the doc
tor came In.
"Well, how are you feeling now?"
asked the latter.'
“I’ve had a stitch in my side all
day," replied the wounded soldier.
“That’s all right,” said the doctor.
“It shows tli&t the bones are knit
ting."
Decorated With One When He Left.
"Uh-well, yo’ houah,” explained
Brother Stlmmerjohn, "do gen’leman
come to muh house and ’guuter norate
loud and coa’s ‘bout fou’ dollahs, and
■'Oh, ho had a bill, did ho?”
"Nussah! He nevor had no bill
when ho come dar—ho des had a com
mon, ov’yday nose. But—uli-yaw! haw!
haw! haw!—yo’ ortuh seed it when he
left; sahhab, yo’ dess ortuh seed It!”—

"I’m In a quandary.”
“What about?"
"I have two invitations to dinner,
and I can’t decide—”
"Which one to accept?"
“No, which one to refuse. One Is
to a homo where a young lady has just
come home from a piano conserva
tory, and the other Is where a flve-
year-old boy knows a lot of recita
tions.”—Farm Life.
Doctor’s Advice. ‘
Doctor—You must go away tor a
long rest.
Overworked Merchant—But, doctor.
I’m too busy to go away.
Doctor—Well, then you must stop
.advertising.
Unreasonable.
“Your board bill is two months In
arrears, Mr. Hallroom. Can you give
mo something on account?”
“Good heavens, woman! Do you
suppose I’d stay here if I had money
enough to pay for my board?"
Broadly Bpeaklng, the people are
divided Into two classes: The people
who do things and tholr critics.

Knsotn, Minn.— ‘‘I .am glad to say
that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable

more for nio than
anything else, and I
had the best physi

weak and nervous
that I could not do
my work and suf

more. I took Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vege

different person, I believe there is
nothing like Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege

young girls, and I would be glad if I
could influence anyone to try the medi

more than it is claimed to do.” —Mrs.

Tho Battles of Peace.
There are difficulties and dangers
before our nation today just as great
as any our forefathers faced. To
meet and conquer them requires all
the moral brawn and muscle this na
tion can muster. There are the prob
lems of corruption in business and
politics; the terrible scourges of In
temperance and the drug habit, and
the social evil, deadly to soul and body
alike; there are the problems of
moral education, of marriage and di
vorce, of the treatment of depend
ents—prisoners, defectives, paupers,
etc. Any one of these left .uncon
quered would devastate our country
as no war could.—Rev. N. T. Houser.

T HE world has awaited, with
dread, tho time when the
French armteB might reach the
environs of Strassburg and be
gin to bombard that undent
capital of Alsaoo-Lorralne, becauso
then one of tho most marvelous works
of civilisation will bo exposed to .de
struction or great damage. This is
tho catbodrat of Strassburg, an archi
tectural glory, “ouo of the choicest
Gothic visions over dreamed of by a
master mason."
During the war of 1870 tile Strass
burg cathodral was rather budly dam
aged. Tlie French established a mili
tary signaling station in the Immedi
ate vicinity, whloh drew the shell lire
of tho Prussians. As a result, the
magnificent splro was torn from top
to bottom, and one projectile, grazing
the cross on the- top, bent It sidewise.
This happened on the 24th day of
August.
No sooner was the war at an
end, however, tlmn the Germans set
about the business of repairing the
damago thus Inflicted. The task oc
cupied ten years, being not comploted
until 1880.
Dates From the Eleventh Century.
It Is an interestlug fact that this
celebrated structuro occupied the site
of an ancient heathen temple dedi
cated to Hercules. Indeed, the Image
of the god Is known to have been pre
served within Its- walls, as a historic
memorial, up to the year 1805, when
it disappeared—just how is not satis
factorily explained. The heathen tern-
pje was demolished In the fourth cen
tury A. D.
The Christian fane that took Its
place was of wood in the seventh cen
tury; later it was of stone. It was
the houses in narrow streets (dat
ing back to tho middle ages) being
embellished with wonderful wood carv
ing. The city is connected with tho
Rhino (two mllos to tho. oast) by
canals. It Is a center of high roads
between Germany,-France and Switzer
land and at .the junction of other
canals which connect the Rhino with
tho Marne, and tho Rhone with tho
Rhine. The place is the seat of the
Imperial governor of Alsace-Lorraine,
and tho headquarters of tho Fifteenth
corps.
Like Metz, Strassburg was in
former days governed by a prince
bishop. But in the thirteenth century
the then German omperor made It a
free city. It had at that time 50,000
inhabitants—a population deemed
huge—and, being a very important
trade center, It was already rich and
prosperous. Then it was "that the
principal facade of the great cathedral
was built.
One of Town’s Features.
Strassburg, like Metz, was an an
cient Roman military post. The
Romans called it Argentoratum. It is
today enormously strong, being de
fended by 14 forts and Inner ramparts.
There are also great works for flood
ing' tho approaches, as an additional
discouragement to an onemy.
An Interesting feature of Strassburg
Is tho great number of storks which
build their huge nests on the chim
ney pots. Oddly enough, these birds
never seem to establish themselves
for. breeding purposes anywhere ex
cept on human dwellings. Nobody
would ever think of disturbing them
in any way. On the contrary, a house
holder thinks It a great sign of good
luck If a stork picks out his roof top
Gutenburg Platz
partly or wholly burned half a dozen
times (destroyed by lightning In 1002),
and as often rebuilt. As it stands to
day, it was completed in 1839; but
the. oldest portlou dates from the be
ginning of the eleventh century. It
is considered the noblest creation of
ecclosinstical architecture in Germany,
Its only rival in'.that country being
tho equally famous catbedral of Co
logne.
The astronomical clock which adorns
this cathedral Is the most celebrated
timepiece in the world. It dates back
to 1352, and originally was graced
with statues of the three wise men
and the virgin In wood, together with
a cock. At the stroke of every , hour
the wise men bowed before the virgin
and the cock crowned and flapped his
wings.
It contains a perpetual calendar, In
dicating all the various holy days
(movable feasts), such as Easter,
and regulates Itself in leap years. It
shows the movements of the planets,
the phases of the moon and eclipses
of tho sun and moon calculated for
remotest times. Figures represent
ing the four stages of life,. grouped
around a figure of Death, strike the
quarter hours. Childhood strikes the
first quarter, Youth the Becond, Man
hood the third and Old Age the fourth.
Death strikes the hours, while an an
gel, seated above, turns round an hour
glass which he holds In his hand.
At stroke of 12 the apostles appear
In single file and pass before a fig
ure of Christ, bowing. The Savior
blesses them by raising his band,
while the cock crows and flaps his
wings three times.
Strassburg Once a Free City.
Strassburg marks the locality where
the River 111 divides into five
branches. It has 125,000 inhabitants,
and the old part of the town is most
interesting to the sightseer,, some of
for a nest. It Is very curious to see
them teach their young to: fly.
Toward the end of August all the
storks start on the same day south
ward, bound for their winter' quarters
In Africa. In March they return, pre
ceded a week dr so by a single stork
pioneer, and their arrival Is always
hailed with joy.' Apparently they in
variably take up the same nests year
after year.
Outdoor Living.
Living much out .of doors. In the sun
.and wind, will no doubt produce a cer
tain roughness ‘ of character—will
cause a thicker cuticle to grow over
somo of the finer qualities of our na
ture, ns on the face and hands. So
staying in the house, on the other
hand, may produce a softness and
smoothness, not to say thinness of
skin, accompanied by an Increasing
sensibility to certain Impressions. Per
haps we should be more susceptible
to. some Influences Important to our
intellectual and moral growth If the
sun had shone and the wind blown on
us a little less; and no doubt It is-a
nice matter to proportion rightly the
thick and thin skin. But methinks that
is a scurf that will fall off fast enough
—that the natural remedy is to' be
found in the proportion which the
night bears to the day, the winter to
the summer, thought to experience-—

Genuine French Market
Goffee Is Never Sold In Bulk
No "bulk coffee” is a satisfactory substitute for
French Market Coffee. For this famous old secret
blend cannot be successfully imitated.
The blend of Coffees that produce that rich,'
aromatic flavor peculiar to the genuine French Mar
ket Coffee is a secret of the French Market Mills.
Even if the right blend were known, it would be impossible to
reproduce the old time French Market slow roast and grinding pro
cess only obtainable by the splendid machinery of the French Mar
ket Mills. Nowhere else could the French Market process of
packing coffee, untouched by human hands, in perfectly sealed
cans, be reproduced.

Tho women of a town down the
state recently organized a literary
club, and for a while everything was
lovely.
“Louise," asked the husband of one
of the members-upon her return home'
from one of the meetings, "what was
the topic under discussion by the club
this afternoon?”
Louise couldn't just remember at
first. Finally, however, she exclaimed;
“Now I recollect! We discussed that
brazen-looking hussy that’s just moved'
in across the street and Nietzsche.”
