HAD QUIT WORK
READY TO GIVE UP IN DESPAIR
Restored to Health BY Vinol

81 was sick, rundown and finally
had to give up work. After trying
a number of remedies and several ply
sicians, was just about ready to give
up in despair. l saw Vinol ad-
vertised and decided to try 1t,
and 1t has done more good for
me than all other means combined. 1t
has built me up and restored my
strength until l now feel twenty years
younger, and am able to attend to my
work again as usual" Job Jeavons,
1886 Lind street, Wheeling, W. Va.
The reason Vinol is so successful in
such cases Is because it contains tonic
iron and all of the Strengthening
blood-making and bodybuilding ele-
ments of cod liver oil, but no oil.
Vinol is unexcelled as a strength
creator for old people, delicate children,
weak, rundown persons, and after
sickness-and is the best known rem
edy for coughs, colds and bronchitis.
We return your money If Vinol fails
to give satisfaction.
Vluol is sold in Rey ynoldsville by the

A TURBULENT GHOST.
Noisy Nocturnal Rounds of an
Invisible Visitor.
QUEER DEATH OF OLD JABEZ.
Tho Unoanny Incident That disturbed
the Quiet Of an Old Virginia Home.
A Nightly Tramp That Never Ceased
Until the House Was Demolished.

81 am not exactly prepared to say
that ] believe in ghosts" said the old
gentleman from Virginia. but al. the
same time, in view of certain things
that have been told me by persons
whose regulations for veracity do not
admit of doubt, cannot allow my
self to ridicule the ideas of others who
do believe in an occasional return to
earth of the dead.
There is one case in particular that
know of personally and that can be
vouched for by number of citizens
in the upper counties of my state, and
that is the case of old Uncle Jabez
Martin, who knew a number of well
to do farmers in Fauquier as well as
in Spottsylvania, Rappahannock and
other counties in the northern part of
the state. Uncle Jabe,' as most every
one who knew the old fellow called
him, had considerable Of the nomad in
his disposition and led a wandering,
pastoral life. He was always willing
to work when any one needed his serv-
ices and did good deal of rough car
pentering in return for meal O.
wittles and a shakedown,' as he ex-
pressed it, and as he was pretty well
known in the land of his pilgrimages
it was a rare occurrence when he was
not given welcome.
IF old Uncle Jabe thought more of
one family in the state than he did of
II f,fa
as all know, is full Of Greens. An es-
timable crowd they are. and nearly all
of them consider themselves as relat-
ed in some degree of consanguinity to
the others of that name. The Greens
of Virginia is the finest tribe of that
name in seven states was the con-
stant boast of Uncle Jabe, and above
and beyond any other Green anywhere
he placed Marse Dickie Green of Fau-
quier, and that is where my ghost
story, if you will please to consider it
as such. begins.
Zone wild night in the month of Oc-
tober not very long before the war the
old wanderer made his appearance at
Squire Green's. Mr.. Green was called
squire by virtue of being a justice of
the peace. Jabe wanted his usual
meal O. wittles and shakedown,' and
1t was at his service, as usual, and
after good supper he sat ON the back
steps of the house, smoked his old
pipe for awhile and then went to bed
Squire Green was engaged in some
work that kept him up until midnight,
and as the clock struck IL he heard a
heavy sound on the stairway. 1t SEEM
ed as if some one was coming down the
steps with heavy irons on the legs.
The sound was carried to the door,
which was opened noisily and then
closed with terrific crash
Thinking it strange that old Jabez
Martin would be guilty of making
such unnecessary noise, the squire
rushed to the door and opened it. The
moon was shining in all its beauty,
and everything was perfectly calm and
nobody in sight. Back again went the
surprised squire and up into the attic
chamber, where Martin always slept
when he. made his calls. He found

TURKISH ARMY OFFICERS.
They Are Neither Loved Nor Respect
ed by Their Men.

Sa by tuSiT MSu.
Very seldom If he can hep it does
the Turkish army officer appear ON
horseback, and when not on duty he
looks upon his horse merely as meth
cd of locomotion. He has no affection
or understanding for the horse. The
superior officers have no horses of their
own. and, being generally bad riders
and without military qualities which
would raise them in the estimation of
their men, they are neither loved nor
l.eep entirely to themselves, such
things as invitations to one another's
houses being unknown, and the only
occasions upon which officers meet to-
gether at all are on the days of assem-
bly,. when they are called together for
ihe sultan's birthday or accession cele-
brations.
The pay of the lower ranks Is as
small as that of the superior officers Is
high. The young cavalry officer who
makes a good impression on his entry
into the service soon falls to pieces
through want of occupation either Of
mind or body. The greater part Of
the morning and evening he sits over
his coffee and cards or dominoes.
There are but few newspapers, and
those that do exist are so severely
censored by the government that they
contain little but weather statistics,
gazettes and announcements of the be-
stowal of decorations.
What the Turkish officer really thor
oughly enjoys is a gramophone. In
struments playing the waltzes and re-
producing the music hall songs of all
the cities of Europe are in the greatest
possible request, chiefly because they
make music without any personal trou-
ble.-Chicago News.

everything calm and quiet there. 1t
was the quiet of death, for old Uncle
Jabe was lying supine on his back,
with his CLASSY eyes staring right up
to the ceiling, where the squire left
him until the morning.
when he related the circumstances
in the morning it seemed that every
other one of the house had been dis
turbed by the uncanny noises. The
strange part of it is that next night
the same sounds were heard again,
even to the slamming of the door, and
an investigation proved that there was
no person to make them. There were
no towards in Squire Green's family,
but the noises disturbed them, and
when they were heard, as they were,
frequently at midnight they became so
used to them they would simply re-
mark that Uncle Jabe was tramping
again and go to sleep again.
Friends and neighbors who knew of
the ghostly exercises were averse to
staying all night in the house. and the
darkies couldn't be bribed to come near
the place after nightfall. The sounds
never ceased until after the house was
torn down, and even its demolition,
which it was hoped might reveal the
source of its strange and grewsome
sound, failed to present any explana-
ton. There are folks living today in
Fauquier county," said the relater of
