The government has with Great lib
eraliiy distributed public documents
from Waahi1 ton to the remotest pal
OF thn country, In his book on "Tha
Overland Stage to California" Mr.
Fran lin Root tells how the overland
mails were sometimes relieved. Be
fore the daily mail went into operation,
and when a stage went to Salt Lake
City only once a week. some of the
boys on the line used to despise a
coach almost wholly loaded mp with
public documents. but such mail matter
came quite handy at times. Occasion
ally the drivers, as they themselves
said, would get stalled going through
a bad slough in rough weather, and
would be unable to move. In that
case they were Obliged to take ont sack
after sack of the Pub. Docs" open the
bags. and pile the massive books from
the government printing office into the
slough, and by building a solid foun-
datiOn with them, were enabled thus to
pull the coach out of the mire.

Half a century ago Wagner was Sc
verely criticised in London for con-
Quoting concerts without a score. He
was giving some Beethoven concerts,
aid he knew the masters symphonies
by heart. After the first performance
one of the London papers scolded the
composer of "Tannhauser" for directing
the symphony without score in front
of him. At the next concert young
Wagner had book of music open be-
fore him on the desk. The following
day the same newspaper printed a
commendatory article, which praised
him for his better Interpretation of
Beethoven, the improvement due, of
course, to the use of the score. Wag-
ner announced for the benefit of his
critic that the score in front of him
on the previous evening was that OF

ville"-turned upside down.-Youth's

REASONS
Why our Vinol is the Greatest
Health Restorer and Strength
Creator Known to Medicine.

Because Vinol contains in concen-
trated form ALL of the medicinal cur
alive elements found in cod liver oil,
but without drop of oil to nauseate
and upset the stomach; therefore,
wherever old-fashioned cod liver oil or
emulsions will do good, Vinol will do
far more good.
Because we have never sold anything
in our store equal to Vinol to restore
health and create strength for old peo-
pie, weak, sickly women and children,
nursing mothers, and after severe
sickness.
Vinol cures hacking coughs, chronic
colds, bronchitis, and all throat and
lung troubles.
A prominent physician writes:
Ninol is the most palatable and
valuable preparation of cod liver oil
ever compounded. Inow use it entirely
in all cases where formerly depended
upon old-fashioned cod liver oil and
emulsions."
Try VinOl on our guarantee to return
your money if you are not satisfied.

GODS WORLD.

A rustic stood upon n mountain side
And saw the sun in gorgeous glory set;
The rustic saw a canvas that was wide,
A picture that he never might forget!
lie saw the dark, green valley spread
below,
Behold the distant, crimson peaks
a-geam
And knew such ecstasy as artists know
And dreamed the dreams inspired poets

And often others gladly fingered there
To see the gorgeous picture Nature
spread;
They gazed in wonder, breathing Gods
pure air,
had nedi
They listened to the pine trees murmur-
ings,
They drank up gladness from the leap
Ing brook.
And thought the gracious lord had
planned these things
That all mankind might quaff and hear
and look.
One day a rich man CHANGED to linger
there,
He gazcd across the valley dark and
green;
He heard the brook, he breathed the
sweet pure air,
And rather liked the splendor of the
scene.
Therefore he bought it all, that only he
Might henccforth stand and gaze, eX-
allied, awed,
And fenced it in, that no one else might
see
And rise a little nearer to his God.

There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result OF kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed 10 ad-
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness Of the blood-;he albumen

were modelled after those of five women
