ROYAL TONIC
Vinol Will Invigorate And
Strengthen Quickly.
We Endorse ! and
Guarantee It,
We sell many tonicS.

We sell many tOnicS. :
We have demands for many so-called
strength creators.
We handle all kinds of remedies that
claim to be invigorators. We dc this be-
cause we are druggists, and 1t is our
business to supply the public with that
which they want.
When our advice is asked, however, as
to tonic and rebuilder, strength creator
and an appetite producer, we invariably
recommend Vinol. We do this because
we know all about Vlnol. We know all
that it contains. We have sold enormous
quantities of it, and we have had every
opportunity offeredl US to watch the re-
suits that have been accomplished by the
use of this wonderful reconstructor.
If you have not yet had occasion to use
such tonic we would like to have you
call on us, and learn why we are so en-
thusiastic about this scientific remedy.
Vinol contains all the curative princi-
pies in highly concentrated state that
are found in cod liver oil. 1t does not
contain, however, any Of the obnox-
ious, digestion destroying grease that
ALWAYS proved to be such drawback
to what otherwise would have been a
most valuable remedy. We wish@you
would remember Vinol, and bear in mind
that as a blood enricher and flesh creator
and as a wonderful aid to digestion, we
know of nothing that viii compare with it.
Mrs. NJ. L. Perkins, Bangor, Maine,
says: II have only taken one bottle OF
Vinol. I, therefore, am not in a position
to know the full extent of its beneficial
action, but this one bottle has convinced
me that Vinol is a marvellous tonic.
While i'll this winter with grippe,
friend told ME about Vinos and recon-
mended it so highly that I procured a
bottle. 1t benefited me wonderfully,
and 1 believe that it possesses splendid
building up properties. The little have
taken Of it has convinced me that in my
case it is most excellent"
We endorse VinOl. We guarantee its
action. Such is our faith in 1t that We
will gladly refund to anyone who IS moi
satisfied the price they nave paid for it.

thinks he is and finds 'tied with
pink ribbon and done up in tissue
paper" This is somewhat better.
He really believes he would prefer
being tied up with pink ribbon than
to be "a yellow dog that had seen his
best days." but still the opinion is
not entirely satisfactory or the one
he had cherished vain hope that
Agnes had of him, and he naturally
vents his disappointment and chagrln
on his fair correspondent.
It is not for woman to say that
woman's ways are not good ways.
She believes in her sex and is willing
to let men struggle with their at
tempts to understand her actions.
But in little thing like this she be-
lieves that women are making mis-
take and that reform in letter writ
ing would be to their credit.
1t is a growing custom now to
write straight along, with no skip
ping about in helter skelter fash
ion, and it is to be hoped t at we may
grow more and more into this COM
mendable fashion and by so doing
retain the respect of our masculine
friends.-Philadelphia Ledger.

4 WOMAN'S LETTER.
1t Almose Makes a Wao Stand on Ell
Head to Head II.

Girls ways are mystery to men.
They admit the fact frankly, and it
is only a very occasional man who
tries to make himself or his friends
believe that he understands the other
sex. The proverbial woman's mo"
which means Eyes" and which after
all these years is only just beginning
to be comprehended by masculine
minds is only one of a long array OF
"woman's ways" that are difficult for
men to solve. They have decided
that the best policy is to let them
remain unsolved; that perhaps these
little mysteries are just a part OF life
and are meant to be.
There is one funny little thing
about girls, however, which men are
not content to lei alone. They can
not see any sense in it; it is not even
amusing or interesting in any way,
aud it consequently puts them in q
bad humor, and it is the way the
girls write, not their style of hand
writing entirely, though that is one
cause of complaint, but the, to them
unjustifable, meaningless numbering
of pages.
To see a man struggling over one
of those angular hands, fighting his
way through the first page, then try
ing to make the bit of gossip which
breaks off suddenly at the foot fit on

him struggling over it for awhile,
turn with growing despair to the
third page that begins with ''the

find the piece of gossip finished on
the fourth page-such a sight is
worth price of admission.
But let his wrath have time to
cool a little and then watch him read

to the fourth page, where he con-

REFUSED BRIBG OF 100000.
Death az a Washington Man who Said he
was Uurged to Poison PRECEDENT Linco'u.
Philadelphia Ledger.

Washington January 24.-James
Altman, who once refused bribe Of
100000 to put poison in cream
which he served to Abraham Lincoln
is dead in this cily. He was we'll
known and respected citizen. For
many years he guarded carefully the
fact that he was in any way mixed
up with any plot or attempt on the
life of President Lincoln, and only a
few friends knew of the affair. Some
months ago, however, he made the
following statement:
81 knew and loved Mr.. Lincoln,
and thought at first that the offer OF
100000 to poison him was a joke.
At that time I was running dairy
where the bureau Of engraving and
printing now is, and my family oc
cupied a house which was torn down
when the property was bought for
its present purposes. Among my
regular customers were President
Lincoln, Secretary Stanton and many
| other gentlemen in official life. 1t
was his habit in the early spring to
walk over in the morning to Secre-
| tary Staaton's and take a cup of
coffee with him, while they discussed
public matters. He generally went
to the Secretary's about 5 or =
o'clock, and sometimes earlier than
that. I had received instructions
from the Secretary's family to be
sure to get around every morning
early enough to leave cream for the
Presidents coffee.
"One morning in the early part OF
April-not two weeks be1ore the
President was assassinsted-I WAS
driving along in my wagon, when
two men stopped me, and one OF
them asked if I didn't want to make
100000 easy and quick. I scarcely
knew what to say, but I told him
that I guessed I did, if it could be
done on the level. Well, he thel
asked me If l could keep secret,
and I told him I thought | could.
Then he got right close up to me,
leaning over the side of the wagon,
and said:
"'Well, my man, here's 100000
in good money. Every cent of it is
yours if you will take this little box
of powder and put it in the cream
you serve to President Lincoln this
morning. Pour out the cream in
the measure, and put this powder in
it. Nobody will ever suspect any
thing, and the 100000 is yours
"He showed tremendous big roll
of money, and it looked mighty nice,
but | didn't wsnt any of that kind.
If it had been as large as the treas
ury building it would not have
tempted me-"

Five Hundred Millions of Diamonds In ;he>
UEtted States.

The complete splendor of such
Jewels as those stolen from the Bur-
d,ns is revealed only on the rare oc-
easions of fancy dress balls. These
occur only in a decade or 50; indeed,
there have been but two that will
hold for all tina a pride in New
York's social history-that given IN
1883, at her residence at sd street
aud 9Th avenue. by Mrs. William X.
Vanderbilt, now Mrs. O. H. P. Bel
mont, and the one given by Mrs.
Bradley Martin fourteen years later
at the Waldorf. The latter gor-
geous and spectacular faction was so
denounced from the pulpit for It's
display of riches and extravagance-
several clerical gentlemen even term
ing it an incentive to anarchy-that
probably it will be many a day before
we shall again have the Four Hun
dred arrayed in such purple ard fine
linen. "Fine linen, did I say? Why,
the Field of the Cloth of Gold, ar
ranged by that pauper, Francis the
First, should be stricken IN shame
from the annals Of France. On such

pearls glittering everywhere, at

ingly, crowns of diamonds that only
