gems already taken out at $1,000 900,
and there was yet a weeks work to re-
move the rest. The day had been hot
and sitting and the work harder than
usual. The cook was half an hour late
in rubbing his eyes open, and he had
hardly reached his feet when his shout
of surprise alarmed the rest of US. At
some hour during the night and so
quietly that not a man of us had been
disturbed the waters had retreated in

island until there was only the bed of

miles without wetting his feet. As the
waters retired our craft had gone with
them, never to be heard of more.

crashing and next minute caught sight
of tidal wave sweeping i'll. That
wave was 20 feet high, and as it rolled
across the island from north to south
its foamy crest was only 80 feet below
where we stood. There We're three
waves, each moving at a speed of 100

down to its usual level and soon grew
quiet. A thousand acres of forest had
been swept away and the whole face

Tradition says woman must suf-

treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.

Of the best stories told was of Squire
Murray, who weighed 300 pounds and
who was born In ireland, WAS in the

was like a courtroom in ireland. The
bench was five feet from the floor,
with n chair whose back reached to the
ceiling. The trimmings of the room
were all green Mr.. Lockwood and
Judge Beckwith were trying out a
ease before the squire. There WAS no
jury. AT the close the squire paused.
"Do you wish to sum up?' he asked.

Mr.. Lockwood, who advises young law

face on the bench to do likewise.
"I'll sum up sad Judge Beekwith.

"Whlle you're Mt it I'll slip down in

out. The squire was in search of the
spirit of the law at the root of the law
Mr.. Lockwood thinks they had drink.

She Took Our Vinol with
Good Results.
WE WANT EVERY ONE TU
KNOW ABOUT IT.
READ WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY.
COME AND SEE US.

We don't want any one in this city
to drag themselves through life in pain
and misery for the want of enough
strength to feel well and happy.
If you feel listless, without ambition
and run down, it is bad sign.
You are running grave chances. You
are in a condition to be attacked by
most any disease.
This feeling of debility is a symptom
that your system is generally democrat
lied. You should take tonic
You should take Vinol, which we
know and will guarantee will restore
your strength.
Following is one case where it did
this. Mrs. T. II. Boyle, of Sc Chestnut
ST., West Newton, Mass, says:
q Last spring l used one bottle of
Vinol. At that time l was all run
down and sick. l find that it did me
lots of good, and by its use my strength
came back to me-"
Vinol is delicious preparation, con-
tanning the active curative principles
that are found in cod-liver oil, dis
solved in delicate table wine.
Vinol acts directly on the stomach,
aiding digestion and at the same time
creating healthy appetite. 1t gives
strength and vigor to every organ OF
the body.
We endorse VinoI, and guaran-
tee it's action, and will gladly
refund to any one who is not
satisfied the money which they
paid for 1t.

great stone house was never furnished

tall and rank on the lawn, the bats and
owls invaded the empty mansion, and
the gates and fences fell into ruin.
Everybody called ii "Eck's Folly" Still
the old physician kept up his regular
calls on Miss Rhoads, and she received
him with as much favor as ever. FL
nally the whole community settled
down to the belief that they would al
ways remain single. Then it was the
doctors turn TO get up little surprise
on his own account. One evening last
week he and Miss Rhoads were quietly
married and moved into the big house
on the hill. A force of painters and
decorators was put to work, and now
"Eck's Folly" has become "Eck's De-

Paris is laughing over how an artist
got even with a dude who, having sat
for his picture, was so dissatisfied with
the result that he refused to pay for it.
The Count de y. recently had erayon
picture of himself made, which he
afterward pretended to find fault with.
1T does not bear the slightest resem-
blance to me- he said, and will not
take it." The artist protested, but all
to no avail. "All right, monsieur" he
remarked finally. IF it Is not at all like
you, of course | cant reasonably eX-

count had gone the painter added to the
portrait magnificent pair of ass ears
and exhibited it to the gaze of the
curious public. 1t had not been long
so exposed when the count broke into
the artists studio in a towering rage
and, finding that threats awaited him
nothing at last offered to buy 1t at a
considerable advance upon the original
price.

Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying

TARIFF MODIFICATION.

The discussions which have taken place
I'm the National Association of Manufac-
turers are significant in that the most OF
the speakers advocated the adoption OF the
reciprocity treaties now before the SEN
ate and modification of many features
of the present tariff. A number OF speak
ers said they did not need protection for
their industries. The only leading industry
making this statement was that of boots
and shoes. The others were special indus
tries covered by patents. Nevertheless.
the general tenor of the discussion was
for modification OF the tariff on mer-
chandise which does not need protection.
number of conservative speakers feared
that great injury would follow a radical
change in the present tariff. Indeed, the
tenor OF all the addresses was in favor Of
protection as opposed TO free trade. Still.
the sentiment was in favor of modifica-
tion OF duties and the extension of the
theory of reciprocity.
Two classes of people may profit by a
careful study of the proceedings of the as
ISOLATION. One of these is composed of the
ultra protectionists who are now crying
out against those who have expressed
the opinion that the Dingley tariff, ade-
quate as IL was at the time of its enact
ment to meet the conditions as they then
existed. should be modified TO meet the
changed conditions. The other class is
composed of those who call themselves
revenue reformers. but are. in fact. free
traders. and who now breaking ST.
lence of six years by reiterating their here
sizes. which every nation but one in the
world has rejected. Whatever modifca-
tions may be made i'm the tariff it must
retain its protective features, because
largely to the protective policy the United
States owes its lead in the industrial world
and its present prosperity. Nor must We.
i'm the eation consequent upon the growth
of our foreign trade. forget that the best
markets i'm the world are the home mar
kets. and that it would be a folly for which
labor and capital would pay dearly to sac
rifce any portion of them for the chance
of competing i'm limited markets with a
host of rivals. The principle embraced in
of Manufacturers. adopted on Thursday.
is the true one. and is so well and concisely
stated that II is quoted. as follows:
The object of tariff legislation should be
TO furnish adequate protection to such
products only as require 1t, without pro-
viding for monopoly abuses. The tariff on
goods of which the cost of production is
higher i'm the United States than in foreign
countries should be at least what is neces-
sary to compensate domestic industries tor
the higher cost Of production.
The foregoing is a reasonable policy be-
cause it secures the American market to
our own people. which is the present policy
OF every leading nation except Great Brit
ain, which, because it does not return to
that policy. is losing ground. Foreign COM
petitors, unrestraned by tariff duties, are
wrestling British markets from British pro-
ducers.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE. Ind, June THE
grand jury discharged to-day and it
is understood that no indictments were re-
turned in the police commissioner cases to
which Judge Piety called the grand jury's
attention. The story printed in the local
papers was that charges had been made to
Governor Durbin that Commissioners Raidy
and Barbazette had accepted monthly
brides from gamblers for protection against
police interference. Judge Piety told the
jur& that if no indictments should be re-
turned 1t was due to the accused men that
the jury should publicly eXonerate them:
both had publicly said they wanted a grand
jury investiga ton, but the grand jury gave
out no generating statement. After the
investigation had begun Governor Durbin
appointed successors to both commission
ers.
