Such words of praise from a person of such high standing must be accepted as unquestionable proof of the superiority of Vinol
 Do you wonder that our Vinol has such a strong hold upon the esteem of doctors and patients? We know of nothing else that will accomplish such wonderful re- suits; and, remember. Vinol Is not a pat ent medicine.
 There are hundreds of old people in this vicinity who need just such a strength-maker and tissue builder as Vinol. Their blood Is thin and sluggish Vinof will enrich and quicken the blood and build up the system. It is so much better than whiskey and strong stimu- lants which always have bad after ef- feet and weaken and break down. There is nothing in the world so good for tho weak the aged or the rundown system and to cure a hanging-on cold or hack ing cough as Vlnol, and because We know so we'll what 1t will do We are always ready to refund every cent paid us if 1t falls to do what we say. Try 1t on our guarantee. E. G. Fowler.

 The dummy had been referring to the horse named after me. of course. but IL was more than 1 could stand, at that. When reached the track looked up the owner of my no-good namesake, and by mingled threats and implorations and the promise to pay the jockey club fee to changing the horses name.
 That miserable 2-year-old ran in his new name at the Chicago track a week later and beat in a gailop one of the best fields of 2-year-olds that ever went to the post in the town of wind. Later he developed into a crackerjack stake horse. So that I guess my name had been as much of an incubus for him to carry as his carrying of my name had been a dangerous hoodoo to me-

It Is Ncs Always Agreeable to Have
 Race Horse Named After You.
 Washington Post
 "A horse trader of my acouairtance once thought to bestow a compliment upon me by naming thoroughbred run Eing horse after me-" said Represent ative in Congress from Middle Western State. "and that compliment almost cost me my seat tn the House when u was announced. Pm not a betting man at all and have not been at a race track more than half dozeE times in my life, but when that 2-year-old colt was named af- ter me my, political enemies had a gio- rious chance to spread the report that was horse packer from the word go. and that hurt me lot. My constituency is a mighty religious one and I had all l could do to square the thing with them. They took 1t for granted that no norseman would be naming horse after me if really had no connection with the horse-ractng game. and I couldn't walk q block on the streets of my home town that I wasn't held up and asked about 1t and forced to endanger a blood vessel or so in explaining how the horse had come to be named after me.
 ''The 2-year-old was no account in the world. either. After he had started at Chicago track no less than seven times and finished with the also-rans every time. begged his owner to change the colts name. but he was a stubborn sort of chap and couldn't see it. One day, while in Chicago. boarded a street car with a young friend to go out to the race track and see that sorry namesake of mine run. Across the aisle from us in the car were a couple of deaf and dumb dead game sports. also on their way to the race track. judging from the field glasses slung over their shoulders They were going through the dummy al- phabet at a great rate. discussing. as my young friend told me, the chances of the horses entered. At length my young companion broke into an outburst of wild mirth, and I couldn't imagine

 The military record and executive ability of General Wood formed the sub jects of Senator Quarles's remarks. He followed very closely the testimony before the Military Affairs Committee. and praised General Wood for his conduct in the Geronjnlo campaign, the campaign against the Apaches, the Spanish-Ameri- can war. and the record he was now making in the Philippines.
 No attention was paid by Senator QuarIes to the charges made against Gen eral Wood. though he suggested that In concluding tomorrow he would attempt to show they had not been proved after an exhaustive inquiry by the Senate com mittee.
 The interruptions in the speeches today were fewer than yesterday. Senator Foraker Is depended on by the majority members of the Military Committee to answer all the charges that have been made,

called during his absence, had waited
few minutes very imps.tientiy and
had said that he would come back
again. The descriptions Of this visitor
from various members of the household
revealed him as somewhat mysterious
person, dark, shifty eyed, suspiciously
smooth In his manner of address. The
maid thought that he must be from the
east, but she always expressed that
opinion of every one whom she did not
dence to the contrary.
Mr.. Brown felt considerable uneas-
mess, the stronger because certain
points in the description of this man
seemed to suggest some one whom he
had known. After hasty luncheon he
went out to make inquiries, condemn
ing his own folly meanwhile, since
there was really no cause for alarm.
He came back to his home no wiser
than when he had left it, but rather
more anxious In his study he found
Mabel Henderson waiting. The blood
rushed back upon his heart at the first
glimpse of her.

gasped. Morton was in my store and
saw the man pass, detective from the
east"

by his desk, as if something could be
