There is to be special meeting of the
stockholders of the Allen SarsaparilIa
Company Friday afternoon to consider
the advisability of increasing the capital
stock from twenty-five to one hundred
or one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars. There is likelihood that the
price may also be advanced to correspond
with that of other companies manufac-
turing these goods. 1t is understood
several large blocks of the new stock
can be disposed of if the price is ad-
vanced. President Allen goes to Boston
today to consult with some of these

As TO YOUR VACATION
THREE QUESTIONS THAT ARE IN OR.
DER AT THIS SEASON.

Growth Of the Vacation Habit-Changet tho
One Thing Notwithstanding Vacations
and Observation-Disclosures of Sea yoy-
age-A Log Cabin Outing.
copyright, 1893, by American Press Associa-
toni
When do you take your yacation:"
Where are you going this year,
"How long will you be away?'
Ii you are not asked these three ques-
tons at least once day at this time of
the year, 1t is very strange, for the yaca-
non habit has got to be very strong IN
America and has been. increasing year
by year for several decades-increasing
as Il crusty old father of my acquaint-
ance who has to pay for the vacations Of
large family of grown and half grown
sons and daughters put it the other day,

mutton viii Ne greater IN the direction
of the summer schools than the resorts
that have no educational features or the
quiet country places. In fact, several
summer schools have decided to suspend
their sessions this year because of the
Worlds fair, their conductors realizing
that the educational significance Of the
exposition is so great as TO be likely 70
draw largely from their constituencies.
But while it is undoubtedly good thing
to go to the Worlds fair it Is not likely
that trip thither will afford any one
the -est and recreation that are needful at
vacation time. True, the element Of
change will not be lacking, but those
who attend will do well to reserve st
least a week Of the time they can afford
to be away from their business 70 rest
after visiting the fair before returning
TO work.
If you are really in need Of absolute
rest, there is no better way to take it
than 70 ship on a sailing vessel for a
coasting voyage for few weeks. You
cannot get the newspapers on ship
board, kilograms cannot reach yOu, and
no matter how nervous you are or how
much you are wrapped up in your bust
ness affairs you will be pretty likely
after a few days life on the wave 20
drop everything and give yourself en-
tirely mp to relaxation. If You have
been sensible enough to take along i
good supply of light. wholesome reading
you will undoubtedly enjoy yourself i'm
mensely after you have got over being
seasick-and when, after the voyage is
over, you tread on land again your step
will be frmer, your eye will be brighter
and your nerves will be steadier than
they were when you embarked.
There is no more sensible way of spend
ing your vacation if you are engaged the
year round in sedentary pursuits than to
take tramp of week or two. In these
days of bicycles the wheel is much pre-
ferred by many, but you will find that
the old fashioned way Of footing it has
its advantages. OF course you do not
want to tramp through the thickly set
tied sections of the country. Your tramp
ing should be done over mountain roads,
where you may hear the gurgle of run

KENTUCKY JEANS AND COwHIDE BOOTS.
ming water and the roar of an occasional
cataract, where you may sometimes
walk for miles in the shade of mighty
forests and where your eyes may at
times be greeted by grand and beautiful
vistas of hill and valley. If you are dys-
peptic when you start out and possessed
of little appetite, you will soon miss tho
first and find the second, and the simple
fare you will be able to get at the houses
where you stop for meals will help TO
bring back tone to your system. Take
my word for it, if you decide to pass
your vacation in this way you will never
regret it. But you must wear solid, easy
shoes, you must dress for comfort and not
for looks, you must be prepared for phys
ical WEAKNESS, and you must not expect
that your meals will be cooked by French
chefs.
A lawyer of my acquaintance who
was born in log house and has built
up large practice in q big eastern city,
always passes his vacation in n remote
place, where he has had a log cabin built
on the side of a forest covered mountain.
He goes there every year early i'll July
and stays till the last of August. He
tells me that while there he wears Ken
lucky jeans and cowhide boots and
spends his time making and renewing
acquaintance with his few hillside neigh
bors and fishing. II never catch any
thing to speak Of" he says" and fish
with q worm and n hook. lido not use
bamboo rod, but 4 pole which l cut for
myself AS q matter of fact, l don't
care very much to catch the fish, but if /
have fishpole on my shoulder and 4
box of bait which l have dug myself in
my pocket feel that have Il nominal
reason for tramping along the banks of
the mountain streams, and when l meet
another fisherman or countryman he
sees what am out for, and don't have
to answer too many questions. My wife
Away goes with me TO my summer log
cabin, and she enjoys it as much as l
do"
The amount of money that is annually
put into circulation by the vacation
habit is very large. In fact, in some To-
calities where farming is greatly run
down moro money is taken in during
the outing season than during all the
rest of the year To offset the fact that
this is the harvest time of the people who
live there is the other fact that this is
also their time of hard york; that they
are worried and worn and tired just at
the time when vacaticners are care free
end jolly and gay. /. d. MARSHALL.

INCREASING WITH GREAT vIRULENCE.
Time was when the three questions
have quoted would have been preceded
by care you going to take q vacation"
but that time has passed. All the world
takes q vacation nowadays, or at least
the exceptions are so rare that they may
be spoken of as proving the rule"
Judging from present indications, the
growth of the habit this year will be
quite up to the annual average. The
newspapers are filed with attractive adj
vertisements setting forth the merits Of
resorts by the seashore, by the side Of
the still waters of lakes, in the noun
tains and III the forests. Town and conn
try are being flooded with hand bills and
folders and handsomely printed, artistic
ally illustrated little volumes descrip-
tive of the delights of It's railroad or
that steamer route as ms of getting
TO the place where you propose to make
your summer sojourn. For weeks hotels
and cottages and boarding houses have
been IN process of preparation for vaca-
TONERS and are now beginning to fill
with summer folk. Rowboats ON in
terror lakelets have been put in order,
stagecoaches that are idle ali the rest Oe
the year have been furnished, the gentle
theological student has found place to
''wait'-in short, the vacation season is
here; here, with all its genuine pleasure,
its healthful rest, its sound sleep, its
rowing and sailing, its tramping and
riding, its fishing and shooting; here,
likewise, with all its rush and worry
and sham and heartburnings, for there
are vacations and vocations. There are
persons who take their vacations senSi-
bly,, who get some real benefit from
them, and who return to their daily oc-
equations refreshed and better able to
grapple with the problems Of existence,
and there are other persons who do not
understand the real object of vacations
persons to whom the vacation is the
hardest time of the year, who return
tired and dragged out and cross. To
these persons it were better if vacations
should not come.
The first requisite of Il successful va
cation is that it shall afford change. 1t
is for this reason that the city family de-
lights to go into the green country; that
the busy man of affairs is fain to seclude
himself where he may wear old clothes
and fish to his hearts content; that the
oyerworked editor HES himself to some
spot Wnere ne CtlnHOI even Sco d Ae"o-
paper. 1t is on the Same principle, too,
that the dweller of small interior town
delights to shut up his house and betake
himself to New York or Chicago or some
other big city; that the dweller in the
mountains gravitates to the seashore,
and that he who lives within sound of
the surf the year round gets as far from
the beach as he can. This element of
change is much moro important than the
element of rest. 1t not infrequently
happens that the vacationer is on the go
during the entire time of his absence
from his regular haunts, but returns
greatly improved.

The First and Last Time.

negro who gloried in the name of Pom

Springfield, Mass, poor old skeleton
of horse attached to heavy load of
wood.
BY the most frantic efforts the horse
had succeeded in dragging his load over
an unusually high crossing when sud-
denly the poor animal stopped, reared
in the air and fell dead on the street.

As only a limited number of

will have to be taken up in

After the Australia gets in
we will have a complete line
