Big FORCE
WILL BE KEPT AT WORK AT THE
ILLINOIS CENTRAL SHOPS.
No Reduction in Employees Was Made
This Winter and Summer Prom
Uses Better.

February 1 brought no changes in
the force or working hours at the Pa
ducah Illinois Central shops. but
March l will doubtless bring an order
for increased hours with authority
for an increased force generally.
During this winter the shops have
run without the annual CUT in the
force. This Is the first time this con-
dition has existed, and If the work
continues as it has, will mean a large
force constantly employed.
The class of engines we use on
these divisions now makes repair
work less frequent but when it has
to be done it amounts to a great deal
more than on the smaller type Of
locomotive" an official explained.
1.-The outlook for the summer for a.
extra largo force with steady work is
bright. There are over 20 of the
big class freight engines which have
been working hard all the winter
handling the Increased business. and
many will need overhauling."

FEEBLE OLD PEOPLE
Are Much BENEFITED by the Use of
Vinol.


Hundreds of old people right here
in Paducah need Just such strength
maker and body-builder as our delic-
ious cod liver preparation, vinol; :. and
we simply cannot understand why
they will continue to drag out a
half-dead and half-alive existence,
when We guarantee vinol will invig-
crate every organ in the body, stop
the natural decline, and make them
wen, vigorous and strong.
If you want to know how an aged,
feeble. discouraged man or woman
may be made active. cheerful and Wig
orous. read this letter:
Mrs. Catherine Thcrer, OF Albany,
N. Y. writes: "Six months ago I
felt that / was broken down by age,
and was doomed to the weak and
feeble condition of old people. The
slightest exentdon tired me, and had
no strength. My daughter brought
me a bottle of vinol. | soon felt an
improvement; I continued its use.
and am now well, cheerful, and
stronger than / have been for years;
in fact. feel ten years younger"
Vinol is not a stimulant which re-
acts on the system, but it is a genu-
inc cod liver and iron tonic which in
a natural manner makes rich red
blood and replaces weakness with
strength. We wish every old person
in Paducah would try vinol on our
offer to return money If it fails. w.
b. MCPHERSON, Druggist.
While we are sole agents
for Vinol in Paducah, 1t is now for
sale at the leading drug store in
nearly every town and city In the
country. Look for the vinol agency
in your town.

CONGRESS ACTS ON
MANY MEASURES

Washington, Feb. 1.-The senate
today began its session with a lecture
from Senator Hale, who contended
that too much talking and not enough
work was being done. He had partlc-
ular reference 10 his inability to Sc
cure passage of the diplomatic and
consular and the fortifcations appro-
priation bills which were on the cal
endar. Before the session ended these
two measures had been disposed Of.
Senator Beveridge concluded his
speech in advocacy of his child labor
bill which has occupied three days
His argument today was devoted to
the constitutional power of congress
to prohibit interstate commerce in
child-made goods. He was questioned
somewhat closely by senators who
hold this power does not exist, and in
replying, took THE broad ground that
the power of congress over interstate
land foreign commerce was absolute:
that such commerce could be prohib-
tied altogether as far as the power
was concerned. and that in all cases
question of policy and not of power
was the point to be considered.
The house today passed the senate
bin increasing the board of customs
'of appraisers in New York from 10
to IL and also passed the senate bill
making provision for conveying a
strip of ground in st. Augustine. Fla,
known as the Lines for school pur-
poses.
Favor Free Seeds
The agricultural appropriation bill
occupied the house most of the day
and as usual when the amendment
striking out the free distribution Of
seeds was reached, members from the
farming districts outvoted those from
the cities, reversed a ruling of the
chair by vote of 1876 to IS and re-
stored the paragraph as has been the
law for number of years.
Recommendation OF the committee
on agriculture to increase the salaries

There is a quaint tradition about how
the belief in the man In the moon
originated that is worth retelling. Like
so many of these beliefs, 1t began way
back in Bible times and in quite an
other dress. By many nations the old
man is supposed to be the one who
first made his appearance in the book
Of Numbers Chapter XIV, verse 32).
Then he was found by the children Of
Israel gathering sticks on the Sabbath
day. He was taken before Moses and
condemned to death. He was taken
later outside the camp and stoned IN
til he died. One would think that was
punishment enough even for so awful
crime, but superstition took him in
hand at that point and consigned him
to the moon, where, with bunch Of
sticks on his tired old back, he was
destined to climb forever up the shin.
ing hill and never reach the top. The
story goes that his faithful dog was
permitted to share his fate, and If you
look carefully when the night is clear
and dark you will see the pair toiling
away upon their endless climb. The
face of the old man also grew out Of
the old time tradition, but the figures
are quite plain If one puts on the glass

The Babe Of Bethlehem.
BY REV. j. C. FORWARD,


Hark the Christmas bells are ringing,
Clear and sweet DER land and sea
Countless tribes, their tribute bringing,
Join in choral harmony
Heard we ever sweeter story?
Know We how with glad acclaim
Angels hailed the King of Glory,
Hailed the Babe of Bethlehem
Pricing not tn imperial splendour
OF celestial realms above,
Game in holy self-surrender,
Gods sweet gift, incarnate Love.
Game by royal proclamation,
To dispel the worlds dark, night
Came in meekest abnegation,
Gods own glorious Son of Light
Heard We ever stranger story
Than the way the dear Lord came?
Not with kingly pomp and glory,
But Babe in Bethlehem
With the lowliest OF the lowly,
Here he in the manger lies!
He, the hottest OF the holy,
He, the Lord OF earth and skies!
shepherds kneel In awe before him
Whom all Heaven rejoiced to greet;
Wise men hasten to adore him,
Bringing kingly tribute meet.
Oh, 1t is a blessed storyi
Heard We never sweeter name
Than they gave the Lord Of Glory,
Gave the Babe in Bethlehem
Now as King Of kings victorious,
Jesus reigns DER land and sea;
Millions at his throne all-glorious
Bend in mute humility.
Nations long in darkness dwelling,
Now revere his precious name,
And in countless tongues are telling
How he came to Bethlehem.
