MARIETTA PEOPLE
With Chronic Coughs Need Vinol. It
Stops the Cough and Cures the Cause,
This is the season for coughs and
colds, and for the benefit of Marietta
people, a member of the firm of C, M.
Crosby & Co., our local druggists, telle
them the best means for a cure.
He says: “Take Vinol, our real cod
liver preparation without oil, It does
not upset the stomach like syrups, and
it is much more effective. Vinol is not
a palliative, but a curative.”
This is because Vinol containsin a
highly concentrated form all of the
healing, strength-creating and medici
nal elements of cod liver oil actually
taken from fresh cods’ livers, with all
the useless, nauseating oil eliminated
and tonic iron added. It tastes fine,
and cannot upset the weakest stomach,
hence its wonderful power to cure.
We agk every person in Marietta who
has a chronic cough or hard coal to try
Vinol on our guarantee. C. M. Crosby

ALARM CLOCK FEEDS HORSE.
Alton, 111., February 11.—When
George Miller, a locsl coal dealer,
gets up in the morning his horses
have been fed and are ready for
work, though not by the hand of
man. It is all done by adevice of
his own invention, and is the talk
of the town among men who like
to take forty more winks these
cold mornings.
An alarm clock feeds Miller’s
horses. He has connected the
time-piece with electric wires in
such a manper that, at stated
hours, hay, corn or oats are poured
into troughs and & supply of wa
ter is turned on to quench the
thirst of the arimals.
THINGS THAT COUNT.
Simple integrity, simple fairness,
gimple justice to rich and poor alike,
giving to each one his rightful dues,
striving neither to oversell nor to un
derbuy goods or labor, ineurring no
debts but such ae to admit of being
promptly met, and bring no one else to
do so; in short. earrying out in daily
life the principle of honesty and fair
ness is the very best and most efficient
means of benefiting the community,
and the only foundation on which to
build a benevolence worthy of the
name.—Dawn of Light.
Those virtues practiced by everybody
in a community would make that ecom
munity an ideal one. They are prinei
ples that Christ taught, ‘“Do unto others
as you would have them do unto you.’

ways ring just as you are fairly

A DO _\oURPRISE.
Caused by a Little Prayer Book In a
New York Car. ,
Granted that a person wishes to
do well whatever he sets out to do,
no matter what the nature of the
undertaking, there must have beenl
two chagrined young men on an
Eighth avenue car the other even
ing. Crowded upon the rear plat
form where they stood were several
men and one woman. The woman
was old fashioned enough to wear a
dress with a pocket in it. Somel
time during the trip from Thirty
fourth to Igiftv-ninth street one of
the men found the pocket and ex-|
tracted its contents. |
At Columbus circle the woman,
unaware of her loss, pushed into the
car and found a secat. Presently the
solemnity of the tired throng was
disturbed by a burst of hilarity on.
the platform. The two young fel
lows were chafling each other in
boisterous tones.
“You're a jay, you are,” said one,
“A body’d think you had spent all
your life rollin;; over ;)lowed ground.
What you goin’ to do? Keep it ?”
“No,” was the reply. “What’s
the use. It ain’t no good.”
The woman listened inattentive
ly to the loud remarks and wonder
ed in a vague way what they had
reference to. She nearly collapsed
when she found out. At Seventy
eixth street the conductor came
through the car holding out a small
leather bound prayer book which,
when folded, might have been easi
ly mistaken for a pocketbook.
“This belong to anybody in this
car ?” he asked.
Several passengers appealed to
ghook their heads. Presentf)yehe stop
ped before the woman.
“This yours ?”” he asked.
Hastily the woman felt in her
pocket.
“Yes, it i 3,” she said. “Where
in the world”—
“Guess you must have dr(gxped
it,” suggested the conductor. “Some
fellows out there picked it up and
handed it over to me.”
The woman turned cold all over.
“Give it here, quick,” she said. “I
want to see”—
Words were not required to tell
what it was she wanted to see. The
pause was filled up eloquently by
her actions. Rapidg' she tumeg the
leaves till she came to a kind of
pocket fastened between the pages
at the back. From this she drew
two ten dollar bills,
“I declare if I didn’t forget all
about leaving them there,” she said.
“Thank goodness, they didn’t get
lost!”
The two hoodlums on the plat
form eyed the bills greedily.
“Jay,” said one of them in tones
of disgust, “is no name for us fel
lows.”—New York Times.
Dry Rot In Men.
The first strong external revela
tion of the dry rot in men is a tend
ency to lurk and lounge, to be at
street corners without intelligible
reason, to be going anywhere when
met, to be about many places rath
er than at any, to do nothing tangi
ble, but to have an intention of per
forming a variety of intangible du
ties tomorrow or the day after.
When the manifestation of the dis
ease is observed the observer will
usually connect it with a vague im
pression once formed or received
that the patient was living a little
too hard. He will scarcely have
had leisure to turn it over in his
mind and form the terrible suspi
cion “dry rot” when he will notice
a change for the worse in the pa
tient’s appearance—a certain slov
enliness and deterioration which
is not povertly nor dirt nor intoxi
cation nor ill health, but simply
“dry rot.”—lßßoanocke Times.
His English.
He was a Frenchman, dining with
an English family. He was anxious
to make a good impression, but had
little “of the Enildish.” So he beam
ed politely on his neighbors, and
even the attendant servants basked
in the general radiance.
“You will have some more?” en
treated his hostess.
“Please, non,” he answered.
“Let me press you,” the lady re
turned, maf:)ing allowance for the
shyness of a stranger in a strange
land.
“Non, madame,” he insisted cor
dially. “I have already made ze
beast of myself.”—London Express.
Absolute Surrender,
A little child was one day playing
with a very valuable vase wgen he
put his hand into it and could not
withdraw it. His father, too, tried
his best to get it out, but all in vain.
They were talking of breaking the
vase when the {ather said:
“Now, my son, make one more
try. Open your hand and hold your
fingers out straight, as you see me
doing, and then pull”
To their astonishment, the little
fellow said, “Oh, no, papa, I couldn’t
ut out my fingers like that, for if
f did T would drop my penny.’!flow
marny of us are like him—held pris
oners by our own desires!
A DARING MOVEMENT.
Executed In a Notable Battle of the
Mexican War.
Long odds mecan little to the
average United States soldier. Zach
ary Taylor and Lis little “army of
occupation,” after marching inte
the heart of Mexico against over
whelmingly superior numbers,
achieved the apparently impossible
time after time and scored victory
after victory.
One night while his exhausted
soldiers were taking their well earn
ed rest General Worth was planning
a daring mevement for the capture
of the heights above the bis%op’l
palace. The strength of that posi
tion was great and all its approaches
so carefully guarded that the omly
hope of success appeared to lie in
a secret and rapid move during the
quiet hour just preceding the dawn.
Lieutenant Colonel Childs, with
six companies and 200 carefully se
lected 'llZ:xas rangers, was chosen for
the dangerous honor of opening a
way to the heights above. At 3
o'clock on the morning of the 22d
(September, 1846), their movements
effectually veiled by a dense fog and
the sound of their advance deaden
ed by the constant patter of a cold
rain, the little column moved for
ward, guided by Saunders and
Meade, who knew the exact location
and character of the narrow path
which they were to follow up the
steep declivity.
Orders had been issued that the
strictest silence should be observed,
and without a whisper the men be
gan the difficult ascent, no man see
ing his fellows, so dense was the
blackness of the night. Over half
the ascent had been accomplished
when the ears of the wntchfu{)senti
‘nels at the summit caught the
isound of tin canteens rattling
against the harness of laboring reg
ulars.
Instantly the alarm was given,
followed by the flash of musketry,
which warned General Worth that
his secret move had been discovered.
At first no answering shot, however,
came from the dark slope, where
regulars and rangers, crouching
low among the rocks and brush
wood, toiled steadily upward.
Then the anxious watchers on the
Saltillo road, General Worth and
his detachment, heard the sharp
crack of the Texas rifles and knew
that the height had been gained.
Re-enforcements were instantly dis-
Eztched, dragging, or rather lifting,
hind them a twelve pounder how
itzer.
They reached the summit to find
the works in the possession of Colo
nel Childs. The Mexicans had stub.
bornly held their position until the
storming party had mounted the
breastworks with fixed bayonets,
when, panic stricken, they fled pre
cipitately to the ghelter of the bish
op’s palace. — Metropolitan Maga

Their Regrets.
When a wedding guest fails to re
spond to his invitation, who should
regret it, the guest or the givers
of the invitation ? When the Knapp-
Hoover matrimonial alliance was 1n
the making this question proved a
disturbing one in the “best circles”
of Caseyville. Decision could not
go far wrong in such a matter. Sim
ple politeness seemed to require
that the host should regret the fail
ure of his company to come. So
the mail brought to each person
who had failed to attend the wed
ding this announcement upon a
neatly engraved card:
“Mr. and Mrs. Hoover regret your
not being present on Thursday, the
16th, at the home of the bride’s par
ents.”—Youth’s Companion.
Going to Be Fined.
When George Ade was a newspa
per reporter he was sent to “write
up” an Irish laborer who had fallen
from a building. When Mr. Ade
arrived on the scene several officers
and others were helping the injur
ed man into the ambtfiance. Mr.
Ade pulled out his pad and pencil
“What’s his name?” he asked one
of the policeman.
The injured man, who had heard
Ade and who mistook him for the
timekeeper employed by the con
tractor, rolled his eyes in a disgust
ed way.
“What d’ye think o’ that?” he
muttered. “I’'m goin’ to be docked
for the few minutes I lose goin’ to
the hospital!”—Success Magazine.
