paragraph of patent medicine tes-
timonial, does everything you eat
feel about four sizes too large for your
stomach, are you bothered with corns,
dandruff or ringing in the ears, and
are your nights filled with dreams
which end Just before they get TO you
with an AK? If so, you need rest,
you need recreation, your stomach
needs a change of scenery, you need
to get away some place where your
credit Is good and where there is plen-
ty of fresh air at reasonable rates.
After man has decided to protect
his life insurance company and take a
vacation, he finds that the next ques-
ton is where to go, but, by droppinga
postal card to the passenger agent OF
any of our heartless railroad corpor-
ations he can, in the course of As or 72
hours, acquire more literature with
black bass on 1t than he can read be-
tween now and the end Of time.
1.-THE Jerkwater & Northern railroad
offers unsurpassed advantages for
tourists. Along our line are scores
of summer resorts and hotels which
have every known facility for getting
your money. Our superb train No.
reaches all these places by daylight, as
It stops only where large stations or
hot boxes occur"
Spend your vacation al. beautiful
Lake Lovely, the most delightful sum
mer resort south of the north pole.
Only q three hours ride from any
where. Lake Lovely is pronounced by
al MS the finest sheet of water that
ever moistened the map. Baseball, ten
mis- and golf grounds within convenient
distance. Croqnet grounds for those
who can stand the excitement. Rates
by freight on application"
For those who desire an inexpen-
sive, though desirable place. to spend
their vacation. the Sand Beach hotel,
at Lake and-Beach-on-the-Ma Map. cam
not be excelled. Here is the place to
secure little recreation withou mort
gaging the homestead or selling the
COW. Everything reasonable and mod
est, excepting the day clerks necktie.
Boating, bathing. fishing and check
| eps"
Mountain Brook inn. the ideal
mountain resort. Located two miles
above the sea level, in the heart of
Americas most beautiful range Of
mountains. Pure, fresh and bracing
mountain air served to all guests with
out extra charge. Far away from the
clash and din of gong and whistle, and
the unpent profanity of the man who
pursues street car for block and a
half, and then misses it,
Besides offering room which looks
smaller every time one enters it, and
species Of hide-bound toilet soap,
which is found nowhere else, the aver
age American summer hotel affords
untold social advantages. Here the
man who at home takes in lawns tc
NOW sits down and dimes with the rail
road president, while the laundress ant
the heiress monkey around on the
veranda together. The man of wealth
and the man of poverty walk arm II
arm on the same social plane, for nei
Their knows whether the other fellow
, is telling the truth about himself o.
not, and the man who confesses tina,
he was once sent to the legislature
fishes and battles with the ostensiblt
capitalist.
1t is to this fact. we maintain, tina
the American hot weather hostelr,
owes much of It's prosperity and pop
/, ularity. 1t is delightful and harm
less custom, though man frequently
, meets a millionaire at summer no
tel, and then detects him at some sub
sequent time, waving lantern iron
the hurricane deck of freight ca
. boose, there is no harm done to eithe
party. There is an indefnable charm
we, no doubt, will all admit in telling
: an entirely new acquaintance that w,
have just been elected to congress, O
, that we would like to buy some good
reliable railroad, provided the pric.
wasn't too low, and it affords the per
son spoken to a nameless Joy and
silent sense of fattery that is almos
as relishable as getting ones pictur
in the county atlas or having an illus
.. trated interview regarding the for
: mer and present state of our health
. published in the patent medicine al
