Just One More Kiss.


A dear old citizen went to the rail-
road station to see his daughter off
on a journey. Securing her seat he
passed out of the car and went around
to the car window to say last parting
word. While he was leaving the car
the daughter crossed the aisle to speak
to friend, and at the same time a
grim old maid took the seat and moved
up to the window.
Unaware of the change, the old gen.
tleman hurriedly put his head up to
the window and said, zone more kiss,
pet"
In another instant the point of a cot
ton umbrella was thrust from the win
dow, followed by the wrathful injunc"
ton, "Scat, you gray headed wretch"

Remarkable Coincidence In Assassin

"A remarkable coincidence occur

Tuesday, in that on the day Bennett
was due to answer to charge of vio-

sometime ago conducted an examina'
tion OF a matter in which incendiarism
growing out of night riding expedi.
ton was alleged at GAINESVILLE. The
examination was conducted under the
provisions of the fire marshal law
enacted by the last legislature, and
the witnesses he summoned refused
to appear before him. They contend
ed that he had no authority to sum
mon witnesses after the grand jury
had passed upon the case, whereupon
Bennett, with six co-defendants, was
summoned to appear before the cir
cult court of Davidson county and
show cause why the penalty OF the
law should not be imposed for their
failure to observe the fire marshal
act. Judge Taylor assessed a fine OF
$3.50 each against them, and the case
was appealed to the supreme court
The argument was presented Tuesday
morning. In the early hours of the
same morning Bennett was mortally

who eloped with Floretta Whaley
about a year ago, who it is said tele-
graphed to Mrs. Kezieh Whaley, the
girls grandmother, for help, and that
he and the family We're i'll and desti-
tute, was located in this city. The
couple was found living in a suite Of
rooms on Masonic avenue, well to all
appearances, and with comfortable
surroundings.
The baby alone loked pale and
peaked, but the parents attributed
this to the hot weather.
In an interview, the former recto,
admitted that he had telegraphed for
help. and admitted that the struggle
of life had been too much for him,
and that he had made a failure OF
everything.

said Cooke, 1--WE cannot ask friends to
help us, because We threw aside
friends We laughed at the world
and the world will laugh at us. Late
! ly | have begun to realize that no
man, however strong he may be, OF
however great may be his incentive
can buck the world. It is older than
us and stronger"
In reply to the question, "You are
comfortable and seemingly have all
You want?" Cooke said:
at is not a matter of material COM
fort, it is the knowledge that one is
an outcast. 1t is the understanding
that to the kind-hearted you are an
object of charitable curiosity and to
the others just a simple cad.
'These are things which no man
can fight, and am just tired"
Cooke has some friends who say
that as soon as it is known that he /.
in want there will be no trouble about
his getting everything he needs. They
say it is only by reason of the fact
that he has not told anyone of his
straits that he is in trouble.

At this season of the year there is
hardly man, woman or child in Pa

safe in saying we have never sold any
thing in our store equal to the cod
liver preparation Vinol for this pur-
pose. .
The reason Vinol is so far superior
to old-fashioned cod liver oil and
emulsions is because Il Is made by a

Ing process from fresh Gods llvers.
