A
Queer
Law Case

The daily papers not long ago
reported trial case where a man
sued medicine concern which had
offered a hundred dollars for a
case their remedy could not cure.
1t seems that the man had not
been cured, though he had taken
the remedy. The defence was
that he had not taken the medicine
long enough. He did not get his
hundred dollars.
We allude to this because Vlnol
does not give slippery guarantee.
We sell it on its merits and
leave it to the user. If the user
comes back with his empty bottle
and SAYS "I took that bottle OF
Vinol, and can't see that it did
me any good" we don't argue
the matter. We say, or our clerk
says, "Sorry that you happen to
be among the few-here's your
dollar |"
The few! They are very few :
less than one, out of a hundred,
according to the experience. ..
Vinol is a scientific non-secret
compound of cod liver oil greatest
medicinal food known), organic
iron Ciron that can be taken up into

Instinct of Animals.

An English periodical says: The in
stinct whereby wild creatures detect
those of the human species who are
likely to be hostile to them and those
who may be regarded as harmless is
of so subtle quality that it almost
appears to partake of the nature of
metaphysics. In the nesting season
plovers will actually buffet the angler
who is fishing too close to their broods:
but by the date of the shooting season
they would not allow him to get within
two fields of them. The wood pigeon
seems to know exactly the range of the
modern fowling piece. and will flash
boldly past at an interval of 100 yards
and upward. but is careful quickly to
put a tree between himself and a
sportsman if disturbed at any range
within gunshot. The fox knows that
he is sacred from guns and will auda-
ciously seize a fallen pheasant and de-
camp with it within 20 PAGES of re-
triever. He is quite aware that the
latter is no foXhound.

The only unpleasant feature of
the morning occurred when the
President sought to regain his
train, it was simply impossible to
keep the crowd back and the Presi-

and the way he charged the crowd

Congressman Conner announced
that Secretary L. NJ. Shaw would
introduce the President and when
the Secretary arose to perform the
pleasant duty cheer after cheer
went up, showing plainly to the
President the esteem in which the
great Secretary of the Treasury is
held by those who know him best.
The Secretary used as few
words as possible and when the
President arose he received an
ovation which must have con-
vinced him Of the patriotism and
loyalty Of Iowa people and their
pride in the institutions of their
country, regardless of partisan
ship. And let us say here that
throughout the Presidents visit,
in his speech, in the utterances of
others, in the arrangements and
all preliminary matters there was
not a trace of politics. Nothing
but patriotism and love of coun-
try and good fellowship.

count of his words Of wisdom and

the happiest mood, He laughed
as he talked and seemed to grasp
all the good nature of the crowd
and make it his own. The Presi-
dent spoke as follows:
