Rather Too Smart.

\ promising barrister was wont to de-
clare that, though many a bad ease has
been won by brilliant sally in court,
equally as many good ones had been lost
through OVERRIDING the thing.
Not long ago case arising out of a
street accident came on for hearing at a
certain country court.
An electric tramcar had figured in the
collision, and when one of the witnesses
stepped forward he was at once tackled
BY the facetious young gentleman engaged
by the plaintiffs
What are you?'' he began abruptly.
IAN electric conductor, responded the
witness
Indeed calculated the lawyer. "A
living lightning conductor, l suppose?'
For one moment the witness hesitated
Then he boldly tackled the facetious one
Look here, young man, he remarked,
in a fatherly sort of a way. ''You may
not know it, but there are different kinds
of conductors. For instance, I'm one and
you re another, and if did mt conduct my
car better than you re conducting your
case should earn the sack, and get it p

al want some flesh," he said.
al am willing to pay for it. I'll
give you $500 for every pound Of
solid healthy flesh you can put on
these bones"
1t was a big price, but he could
well afford to pay it. For undue
thinness IS dangerous. 1t means
disease, or the approach of disease.
Cod liver oil has most always
been prescribed for this condition.
1t has wonderful properties as a
medicine, but itsdisagreeable grease
and vile taste and smell make most
people sick.
We have long thought that
something could be devised with
cod liver oil as a basis that would
arrest emaciation, promote nutri-
ton, stimulate digestion, aid in
throwing off rheumatism, lung
trouble, bronchitis, coughs, and
prove a real bodybuilding tonic
reconstructor and flesh former.
We have found it In Vinol (if
you are interested call at the store
and we'll tell you HO1O we found IT'D

is pleasant to take. If you are
sick and thin, try Vinol. You can
get your money back if it doesn't
help you.

BRYAN A FACTOR, SAYS VEST.
Says Future of Democratic Party De- bends Upon Condition of the
 Country in 1904.

Washington Special to Brooklyn Eagle.
 Ex-Senator George Vest of Missouri, who on March 4 terminated a period of public service lasting forty-two years. said today that the events of the next year will determine the future of the Democratic party. At the same time he said that William J. Bryan must be con sidered as an aggressive factor in shaping the course of the Democratic party.
 The future of the Democratic party said the venerable ex-Senator, depends upon the condition of the couStry in 1904 The Republicans have staked everything upon the maintenance of the present high tariff and. if the present conditions of affairs can be maintained until the fall of 1904. the Democrats cannot win.
 ''The Republicans will asCribe the pros perity which then may prevail to the DIngley tariff and the majority of the voters never will stop to analyze the truth of the claim. AS to the trusts, they have been irritated. but not enraged, by the legislation of this session, and they would rather have the Republican party. oven with the legislation enacted within the last few months, than the Democratic party on any terms.
 All this Is outside the question as to whether the Democrats are to come to- 6VlhVl III tHC llGAl lANoiuSlIIAhl l do not know what MT. Bryan will do, and have no right to speak for him in any way. but he will certainly appear at the next Democratic National Conven- tion and will be an aggressive factor in whatever is done."
 MT. Vest thinks there is need of a great reform in the system of putting up gov ernment buildings, especially at Washing ton. He thinks a national architect of undisputed ability should be appointed to supervise the drawing of plans of gov ernment buildings. and he would havo the salary sufficiently large to insure get ting the best man in the country.
 He says that the office of the supervis- Ing architect in the Treasury Depart ment is In need of reform and cites fail urcs that have been made out of the Washington city postofiice and the offices of the White House as showing the ne- cessity for the organization of an entire new scheme for controlling the erection of United States buildings.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-03-10

From all accounts that alleged Count de Montesquieu. now doing the people of New York, is the very last possibility in the way of an ass. Nothing like him has ever messed the atmosphere of Gotham, so far as we have kept up with the records And yet, in all probability, some American girl, with money and sense in the ratio of l6 to 1. will buy him. We have not learned his price, but sup pose he is on the bargain counter. like many other foreign nobleman, and can be had for about 99 cents if the girl has plenty of cash. Then in a year or two she will wonder why her parents didn't have her locked up in lunatic asylum before she could make a fool of herself Such things as this Count possess attrac- tons for certain female minds and they naturally come together like a donkey and a bunch of thisties.
