POKER HAND AND A 100000.

MT. Edward Cunniff sat on a camp stool under an awning on the after deck of his house-boat, the Sally shortly after noon of the day following the arrival of the boat at Cape Gfrar- deau. One who looked at him closely might have thought that he had no greater immediate anxiety in life than that which was involved in the effort he was making to improve the appear anoe of his finger nails.
 AS a matter of fact he was working with scrupulous care toward the achievement of that end, using no iril- piement but a penknife blade with q, razor edge, but using that with great deftness. His manner of sitting was curious, for he had the camp-stool tilted on it's two hinder legs. but his feet were extended forward, and the weight of his body was thus supported in a way that made it almost impossi- ble for him to sit upright.
 It was therefore not surprising that he should have failed to notice the ap- proach of another man, who had come aboard at the bow of the boat and was walking toward him with noiseless steps.

 The first steps towards preparing for the next municipal election in 1907 were taken in the Leftingwell building last evening when a number of the members of the Non-Partisan Municipal League assembled and adopted measures to- wards rendering permanent their party and organizing it. Mir. Levi T. Snow occupied the chair with John M. Shep- ard as secretary. The business end of the session consisted in the adoption of a resolution providing for committee to draw up q constitution and plat form. The makeup of the committee was decided as follows: Dr. Edward F. Mcintosh, George M. Wallace, W. E. Alcorn, George D. Morris, Levi T. Snow and John F. Douglass.
 A permanent organization including an organization in each ward to select members to choose a general city con- mittee was talked of. The rest of the meeting was occupied with listening to speeches congratulatory of the vote cast for the party nominee in Tuesdays election, outlining the future, reviewing the results of the election and discuss ing the work before the organization in general. s q.... '. .- s.z@s
 Alexander Troup, editor of the Union, one of the leaders in the movement, was among the speakers. He referred in the course of his remarks to the ale gations against himself ill which it was stated that the movement on his part was induced by desire to oust the City Hall set. MT, Troup stated that his principal object in entering upon the movement was to take municipal elec-, lions from the hands of partisanship. Any other purposes, he asserted, were entirely secondary to this. He referred to the democratic party as a corpse ana waxed merry over it's recent defeat.
 MT. Samuel F. Thrasher dealt largely with the violations of law especially of the liquor law which he declared were appalling.
 George M Wallace was the last speaker. He told of his conversation to the league. Most of his address was taken up with an advocatcy of a fran chise tax plan in the party's platform.

Thousands of Women ARE MADE WELL AND STRONG Success of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
 Compound Keats Upon the Faot that t
 Really Docs Make Sick Women We'll

Thousands upon thousands of Ameri- can women have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegeta- ble Compound. Their letters are on file in Mrs. Pinkham's office, and prove this statement to be a fact and not mere boast.
 overshadowing indeed is the success of this great medicine, and compared with it ali other medicines and treat inent for women are experiments.
 Why has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound accomplished its wide spread results for good?
 Why has it lived and thrived and done it's glorious work for quarter of century?
 Simply and surely because of its ster- ling worth. The reason no other med icine has even approached it's success is plainly and positively because there is no other medicine in the world so good for women's ills.
 The wonderful power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over the diseases of womankind Is not be- cause tits astimulant mot because it is a palliative, but simply because it is the most wonderful tonic and recon structor ever discovered to act directly upon the uterine system, positively CURING disease and displacements and restoring health and vigor.
 Marvellous cures are reported from all parts of the country by women who have been cured, trained nurses who have witnessed cures, and physicians who have recognized the virtue in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, and are fair enough to give credit where it is due. If physicians dared to be frank and open, hundreds of them would acknowledge that they constantly prescribe Lydia E. Pink hams. Vegetable Compound in severe cases of female ills, as they know by experience that it will effect cure.
 Women who are troubled with painful or irregular menstruation, backache, bloating tor fatulence), leucorrhoea, falling, inflammation or alteration of the uterus, ovarian troubles, that "bearing-down" feeling, dizziness, faintness, indigestion, nervous pros- tration, or the blues, should take i'm mediate action to ward off the serious consequences and be restored to health and strength by taking Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound. Anyway, write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, fer advice. Itsfree and always helpful.

OLD FOLKS
THHBrR DAYS MAY BE PROLONGED
HOW THH EVENING oFIIFE MAY 35 BE MADE HAPPIER FOR

If people only knew the good that lvtnol does old people, said MT. Wil- liam H. Hull, our well known druggist, l"columns of space in our newspapers would be devoted to the subject for the benefit of mankind in general. can truly say that we have never sold any, thing in our store equal to Vinol as a Istrengthener and body-builder for old people.
 You see, with old age comes feeble ness and loss of power, the organs act more slowly and less effectively than in youth, the appetite is poor, the di- gestion weak, and there is not that same renewal of body tissue.
 There is nothing more pitiful to me than to see old people tottering around. know that Vinol cannot bring back l lost years, but it will lengthen life and
 brighten the years, that remain.
 We are hearing from all over the country remarkable results which prove my statement, and we have received letters from sons and daU ghters of old people telling how father and mother has been made well and happy by the iFfA5OI tliG StLCiA5t1. WIllCfl tlllOl UTlISS ! the old. +.r
 lit was only a few days ago a let fter was brought to my. attention from
 MT. John G. Nichols of Lawrence, Mass,
 in which he said that he was eighty -four years old, and had not felt so Ewell for fifteen years as he had since taking Vinol; it gave him good appe- tite, and he feels strong and we'll, and is working every day from o'clock in the morning until 5 o'clock at night.
 Tt is just this way" continued Mir. Hull, "yinol invigorates the stomach first of all, creates an appetite and en- fables the stomach, to separate from food 1.-the clements needed for rich, red blood, thealthy body material and sound, lsteady nerves. In this natural manner lit repairs worn tissues, checks the ma. ltural decline and replaces weakness with strength.
 For any one suffering from any weakened, rundown condition Vinol Twill do the same; and it is because we know so well what Vfnol will do that Ewe, guarantee its action, and we will gladly refund the money paid for it to any one who is not satisfied. wish every old person in this vicinity, would just try Vinol on our guarantee. If 1t does not satisfy, then it will not cost them a cent. Hulps Corner Drug Stores.
