And Many There Are Will Say Senator
 Platt Was Right.

A rather cynical joke has been re- gently credited to Senator Platt.
 The senator, on his last visit to the Manhattan Beach hotel, allowed pretty little girl, western million aires daughter, to be presented to him.
 The little girl, in the course of one of her many chats with the aged statesman, said:
 "Tell me, won't you. senator, what political economy is?"
 Political economy, my dear child" Senator Platt is said to have replied, "is the art of never buying more votes than you actually need

The Peaceful Cow.

She was even more afraid of cows than most girls, so when she spied a placid animal recumbent under a tree, peacefully chewing its cud, she at first refused to go through the pas ture at all. Her husband calmed her fears to some extent, and they started by, when the COW slowly commenced to get up, hind legs first, as they al ways do. At this the little lady shrieked with terror, and said:

Sayinu "HeIjo" to Heart Throbs.

Tt is curious thing" said prom. fnent lecturer recently, how some books have a strong radiating person alty, so that you feel like saying 'Howdy' every time you come across them. Last Christmas I visited friends back at the old home on the farm. When the supper dishes had been put away, the chores done and the evening lamp lighted we gathered beside the organ for good old fashioned sing On the center table were strewn the Christmas remembrances taken from Christmas tree on the evening before. Glancing over them l suddenly ex- claimed Hello. my good friend, Hello' and as the others looked up Heart Throbs' and read to them from it's pages the piece I spoke in school 40 years ago.
 That was enough to set in motion the friendly entertaining spirit of Heart Throbs, and the music was for gotten as we took turns reading the humorous and pathetic bits of prose and verse that have been preserved in this wonderful volume. Some books have great literary value, some have historical significance, but Heart Throbs is the only book I know that slaps you on the back in a friendly sort of way. suiting itself to your moods and proving faithful to every emotion. Next to my love of the Bible l love Heart Throbs. It is the most notable book of the times"

INDIAN TRIBE AT
 EXPOSITION

Norfolk, Va, Feb IA most in Jamestown Exposition will be that of the Tusearor band of Indians, who three hundred years ago, ruled Nir- ginia, and the Carolinas, but were driven north by the more aggressive tribes These Indians have no writ ten language, so their history is largely made up of legend and myth. Their Medicine Men" however are in possession of woven beads which eN- plain the history of the tribe at great length. These Tusearora Indians as far as can be learned are the descend ents of white colony that migrated from Wales in TITO and were wrecked on the Atlantic coast somewhere off the shores of Virginia or the Caro- linas. This theory is substantiated by the fact that the Tuscaroras are much lighter in complexion than any of the other tribes of the American Indians, also by the fact that when visited by a Welsh settler from the North in 1860, he was able to converse with this tribe in his native tongue. Again in late years, when "Deerfoot," the noted Indian runner, made his suc- cessful tour of Europe, defeating all the best athletes that competed against him, was the theory proven. for Deer foot who was direct descendent of the Tuscaroras, on meeting a party of Welshmen in an English tavern, found that he could make himself understood by conversing ill his ma tive tongue.

A Prominent Educator Declares Vinol Is the Best Cod
 Liver Preparation.


 There has been a good deal of discussion in Pine Bluff regarding the merits of cod liver oil prepara- tions, and whether or not cod liver oil and emulsions that upset the stomach have any medicinal virtue, therefore, the following letter from M. \ Cassidy, superintendent of schools, Lexington, Ky, will be read with interest:
 II am pleased to state that aft CT having used and tested the diff ferent cod liver oil preparations on the market, I find Vinol to be far superior to them all.
 ''Vinol built up my system, strengthened my nerves and made a new man of me, and l heartily en- dorse it as the most eficacous and agreeable cod liver oil preparation on the market"
 Our local druggist, X. G. Bcdcll, when asked his opinion in regard to Vinol, replied: We have never sold anything in our store better than Vinol to create strength, cure stomach troubles, chronic coughs, colds, bronchitis and incipient con sumption, or to make growing chil dren robust and give strength and Nigor to the aged.
 Tt is for this reason that we of fer to return money in every ease where it fails" A. c. Bedell, Drug gist.
