Former Corsicanan
Passed Away In Utah
Druggist Tom Coulson today re-
ceived the sad news that his brother,
Rob, was dead at Fort Douglas, near
Salt Lake City. The telegram was
sent to Rev. G. A. Coulson and was
delayed, but the news was phoned to
this place as soon as the message
was received.
The cause of his death is not
known. In view of the delay in re-
ceiving the message containing the sad
news, it has been decided to have the
remains temperarily interred in the
military cemetery in Salt Lake City.
The deceased lived here for several
years and upon reaching young man-
hood, entered the insurance business
and becoming very successful. He
was a fine looking young fellow and
had any number of friends, being one
"tin3t whom nothing ill could be
to feel «u.
hrour last? Suu - o, he decided that

many friends ridieufcree yea^ifjea,
laughing as they saw in him i
feet picture of health; but Rob went
west and in 1898 enlisted in the
army.
He served in the Philippine cam-
paign and upon his return to Cali-
fornia, he wrote to his brother. Tom,
that his health was perfect. He ex-
pected to return to Corsicana two
years ago, but did cot, enlisting
again in the army.
The news of his death came as a
severe shock to his friends here and
they realize that in his demise, a
most excellent young man and soldier
passes to his reward.

Miss Eula, the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. J. M. Weaver, died at her par-
ents home this afteanoon.

Concerning the man Shakespeare,

Tudor Janks has complied a conveni-
ent volume under the title "In the
Days of Shakespeare." The effort
here is to show us the man and his
period, and while there is nothing
new, nothing not to be found else-
where, it is joined together in a fash-
ion likely to be of service to the
students unable to go into larger and
almost endless jungles of Shakes-
peare literature.

Just Cant Do It.
Go away and don't bother me.
Maybe coffee is causing all my ails
but I just don't see how I can give it
up."
This is the pitifiul wail of a des-
pairing osffee slave and yet there is
an easy and sure way out of tlM
slavery.
"I knew coffee was the cause of
all my trouble," confesses an Indian-
apolis woman. "But I just couldn't

''Finally I was induced to try Pos-
tum but the first trial it was so thin
and weak I knew something must be
the matter, so I read the directions
over again and found that it is not
made like coffee but must have 15
minutes at least for steady boiling.
So I tried again and the result was a
deep, rich colored, perfectly delicious
drink that weaned me from my coffee
without any regrets.
"The Postum took coffee's place so
completely that before we realised it
we had forgotten coffee ever existed
and all the time I was improving rap-
idly, from the very time I began the
Postum.
"To put it briefly the improve-
ment continued until I am again a
well woman.
"Although I drank the Postum and
got so well, my husband couldn't be
induced to drink it for he thought I
was one of the people coffee hart and
he wasn't. But about six weeks ago
he had an attack of kidney trouble
and first thing the doctor told him
was to quit coffse. Then for the
first time he tasted the Postnm and
he was surprised and delighted. He
has drank it ever since and his attack
of kidney trouble is gone and this
morning he made me feel proud by
saying the Postum was the bsst cof-
fee he ever drank. Now all of oar
children drink it, too.
