WE GUARANTEE 1T WILL

WE KNOW OF NO TONIC OR RE-
BUILDER LIKE 1T.
Vinol does create strength.

Vinol does create strength.
We know that and have proved IL in
many instances.
The reason Vinol rejuvenates and
strengthens a person is that IL acts
directly upon the stomach, strengthen
ing and toning up this great vital organ
and enabling 1t to obtain for itself,
from the food that is taken into it, the
elements which are required to make
firm healthy flesh and muscle tissue,
sound bone structure and pure healthy
blood.
Vinol does this in a scientific way
and is enabled to do it because it con-
tains, dissolved in a delicate mild wine,
in highly concentrated state, the act
i've principles of cod-liver oil.
Vinol does not contain any of the
grease that C.merly characterized cod
liver oil, hence is free from all the OBJ
jectionable features which made it i'm
possible for patients to take or retain
that vile-smelling remedy into their
stomach.
Vinol in its favorable action upon
the stomach and other organs of the
body acts also in a beneficial way upon
the nerves and brain, and will be
found to be invaluable to brain workers
as well as body workers.
The following letter is from we'll
known authoress. 1t reads as follows !:
"fwish to acknowledge the receipt
of the Vinol and testify to its great
benefits. Since taking it l am much
improved in health, and during the in
tense heat of last August should not
have been able to continue in my liter
ary work if it had not been for the
strengthening properties of Vinol
Yours in gratitude. ELLA STARR, LOG
w. SGD St., n. Y. City.
We wish any one sufferingfrom
weakness, a demoraliZed con-
dition of the nerves, or a suscep-
tibility to wasting diseases, to
call on us and hear what we have
to say in regard to Vinol.
Try it on our recommendation,
and If you find it does not do
everything we claim for 1t, we
will gladly refund to you the
amount you have paid us.

In THE Sorrows of Satan" the devil
is represented as the victim of mans
evil nature. He is being punished
through all the ages for his rebellion in
heaven, and is forced to mingle with
men, eXerting his evil influence yet
yearning himself for salvation. He
has grown weary of his power. He
has supped his fill of damnation but
he cannot control his influence for evil.
He can only feebly endeavor to do
good Hence Satans sorrows, COM

are trifies, for each mans salvation
depends upon himself. whereas Satan
is at the mercy of the whole human

MYSTERIOUS DAVE"
His Name Was Rodebaugh, and He
Was Mystery, Sure.


Was Mystery, Sure.
Dave Rodebaugh was the man who
was best entitled to the sobriquet Of
Mysterious Dave" which has been
wrongfully applied to Dave Mathes.
Rodebaugh's advent TO the circle of ia.
nous western characters was unherald-
ed, but in nowise lacking in brilliancy. 1t
was at Great Bend, Kan, in the early
seventies, that one Frank Whitfield, who
by reason of his former habitation was
known rs Texas Frank, was one day
amusing himself by shooting up the town.
His crowning feat of deviltry was to
cause the bartender of the Rome saloon
to kneel with full glass Of beer upon
his head and to shatter the glass with
bullet from his revolver, fired from the
opposite side of the room. Much amused
at the beer bespattered bartender, Frank
proceeded to execute dance of approx
al He was recalled to the bare sur
rOundings by the sharp command:
Drop it, pardner, and shove up yer
hands. I've got ye covered"
Frank turned to look into the muzzle
of six shooter in the hand of little
red headed man with thin, red beard.
Franks hands went up very high, and
the strange man ordered him to kneel
with his face to the WALL which order
was obeyed and, following the red head
ed mans directions, the barkeeper placed
q glass of beer upon his head. The
strange man then stepped against the
wall opposite and, with shot from his
revolver smashed the glass in the same
manner that his victim had done so re-
Gently for the barkeeper. After doing
this the stranger backed out of the sa-
loon, mounted his pony, which had been
left standing in front, and rode leisurely
out of the town.
No one could be found who knew him,
and he was not seen again for some time.
His next appearance was In the thick Of
street and saloon fight, in which he
contributed two men to Great Bends
boot hill. His appearance and departure
were as mysterious as the first, and he
was dubbed THE Mystery"
Not long after the incident last related
he killed faro dealer, whose gun caught
in the scabbard, and was arrested. AL
though acquitted, the inquiry disclosed
that his name was Dave Rodebaugh,
and he was afterward known as "Mys-
terious Dave" After Mathes received
the title mysterious" they were distin-
guished by the addition of their family
names. In Mathes' case the name was
not the true one. Just here it may be
stated that Mathes was native of Ohio,
his family being one of the most promi-
nent of the state, and that he was edu-
Gated at the Ohio Wesleyan university.
The writer knows that two of his strange
disappearances from his haunts in New
Mexico were caused by visits to that
state. One was upon the death of his
father and the other to attend the mar
riage of his youngest sister.-Chicago In

An Artists Trick.

81 was manager of big vaudeville
company once upon time" said vet
eran Snowman, "and one of our stars
was an amazingly clever lightning carl
caturist.' He would stand before an
easel hung with sheets of manila paper
and dash off portraits of celebrities in
less time than it takes to tell it. Occa-
sionally he would do one upside down,
and the certainty and celerity with which
he worked kept me astonished until
got on to his trick.
"The way it was done was this: He
would first take his manila paper and
make his drawings very carefully in a
solution Of Canada balsam, which is a
sticky gum, invisible a few inches away.
When he appeared on the stage, he car
ried small sponge in his palm, covered
with powdered charcoal, and as he pass
ed his hand over the paper the stuff
stuck to the prepared lines and made
them black. He didn't really touch his
pencil to the paper at all. 1t was a
good scheme and very difficult to detect
he used to get $3.50 week, but he's
dead now, so there's no harm telling. -

HE WENT TO THE BALL.
And His Appearance Resulted In n
Thrilling Sensation.

Judge Il. h. Martindalc of Indianapolis
owns one of the handsomCSt residences
in that city--a large stone mansion hid
den from the street by thick grove of
trees. 1t was in this house that one of
the most exciting functions ever known
in the Hoosier capital took place many
years ago the true story of which is now
printed for the first time. The judge,
who was one of the leaders of society
and at the same time a pillar in the
Presbyterian church. had issued invita-
tons for a fancy dress ball which at
the last moment he had to withdraw be-
cause of the presence in this country
of large body of Presbyterian dele
gates from Great Britain on their way to
an international conference in the west.
They were to be entertained at the
judges on the night set for the ball 1t
so happened that every guest received
his notice save one, n merchant named
Woodward, who was on a trip through
the northwest. 1t also happened that Mr..
Woodward had hit upon the most star
Ting disguise of any planned. He had
bought a complete costume of a Sioux
war chief and intended making up as
Mr.. Woodward did not return to In
dianapolis until the evening fixed for the
ball and therefore to save time put on
his costume at his Office and drove to the
Martindale residence in his carriage,
which he dismissed at the gate. Through
the trees and shrubbery he glded stealth
lily until he reached the house. Looking
through the window, Mr. Woodward saw
some persons whom he knew and many
whom he did not, but every one was in
ordinary evening dress.
"They've unmasked," soliloquized the
war chief, but I'll have my fun just the
same" Thereupon, stepping on ledge,
he made one spring through the open
window and landed in the center of a
group of Scotch delegates, meantime
brandishing genuine tomahawk and ut
tering shrill and blood curdling war
whOops.
The effect was astounding to the mas
querader. Some of the guests tainted,
others crept under the tables and sofas
or fled to the upper stories of the house.
1t took only an instant for Mr.. Wood
ward to discover that n terrible mistake
had been made. In order to preserve his
identity and make his escape he gave a
few more whoops, executed a fearful
dance and darted out of the window into
the darkness.
1t was explained to the foreign guests
that one of the Indianapolis Indian tribes
was evidently restless, but that no fur
ther trouble need be feared. AS for Mr.
Woodward, his side of the story was not
known for nearly 20 years afterward.-

UNCLE SANS STATIONERY.
The Department of Justice COndacts
q wholesale Business.

"The department of justice runs one of
the biggest stationery concerns in the
country" said clerk of that department
to n Star reporter. I'VE have to do that
to supply the various officials of the de-
partment throughout the country. Not
many years ago our stationery bureau
was used solely for the benefit of this
immediate department. Judges, clerks of
courts, marshals and other officials
throughout the country purchased their
supplies from stores in their cities and
towns and sent us the account to pay.
By this method we paid the retail price
for everything. We found this would
not do, as the highest prices were paid
for everything. Under our present sys-
tenn every official Of the government COM
ing under our department makes requisi-
tion on us for supplies, and we send them
at little cost, most of the time by mail
As we buy everything at cost prices we
save to the government thousands Of dol
lars each year over the old method of do
ing business.
I'VE carry n stock worth at least
$4,000 at all times, and all the judges,
marshals, clerks and others send to us
for their pencils, writing paper, etc. It's
funny, too, what strange fancies some Of
them have. For instance, there is a cer-
tain western judge who won't have any
thing else but a red pencil which is peel
ed off when it is sharpened. We carry
this pencil in stock for no other person,
as not many others have ever taken a
fancy to it. | suppose he loses or mis-
places all the other kinds Of pencils, but
finds this one to his liking because he can
easily see it. Right here in the District
of Columbia is judge who listens to ar
guments with six pencils in his hands.
He rolls these between his fingers while
he is busy, and never has less than a
half dozen. He is not particular about
the kind Of pencil he has. Other officials
have peculiar ideas about the kinds Of
paper. pens and ink they want, and they
will have no other. Thus, you see, we
carry a more varied assortment of goods
than a stationery store. e."-Washingt

He Believed In Tobacco.

The late DIR. Norman Kerr, the Eng
lish temperance advocate, made a life
study of the subject of inebriety, con-
