THE SLEEPING SICKNESS
WHICH MEANS DEATH

How many readers have heard OF
this terrible disease? It prevails in
that far-away country-Africa- Es-
pecially the Congo district. It is caus-
ed by the bite of the tsetse fly. When
it bites person, the sleeping symp-
toms begin and finally the sufferer
sleeps until death occurs.
Contrast this with the peaceful,
balmy sleep of health. Is there any,
thing more wearing than to lie awake
at night, tossing about, nervous, with
cold feet, hot head and mercy knows
what else? Short of letting the tsetse
fHy bite us we would do almost any
thing for relief. How can we pre-
vent it? Mr.. George Hayes, of
Union City, Pa, writes: Il had lost
my appetite, was all rundown, coulo
not sleep nights. had tried every
thing without relief. Vinol was rec.
commended, and to my surprise, i
helped me at once; gave me a splendle
appetite, and now ] sleep soundly. !"
What Vinol did for Mr.. Hayes, i
will do for every rundown, nervou:
and overworked person who canno
sleep.

in his house, for many cartridges ex-

Governor Haskell, at Guthrie, was
notified of the battle and of the bad
feeling between whites and negroes
that had grown out of it and which
threatened race riot. The Governor
at once ordered the militia company
at Muskonee to prepare to go to Ok
mulgee, and special train was made
ready to carry the troops, the Gov
ernor remaining in his office to keep
in touch with the situation.
News of the preparation to send the
militia here had a good effect on the
disorderly element of both races, and
at 7 o'clock tonight the crowd had
dispersed and further trouble was moi
expected.
When it became known that nc
other negro had assisted Deckare
against the officers, the talk of re
prisals subsidized.

Haskell at II O'Clock tonight says
that he will. not order the Muskogee
company to Okmulgee unless somt
further developments necessitat'
such action. The officials have ad
vised him that the town is quiet
though there is still much feeling ovel
the events of this afternoon.
The streets of Okmulgee are being
patroled by armed men, and i
is thougt morning will find the tow
restored to its usual quiet.

A Story Of Henry Clay.

The following anecdote of Henry
Clay was told by one of his personal
friends:
While making the journey to Wash
ington on the National road, just after
his nomination as candidate for the
presidency, he was travelling one
stormy night, wrapped up in huge
cloak, on the back seat Of the stage
coach, when two passengers entered.
They were Kentuckians, like himself.
He fell asleep and when he awoke
found them discussing his chances in
the coming campaign.
What did Henry Clay go into poll
tics for?" asked one. He had good
bit of land; he had a keen eye for
stock. If he had stuck to stock raising
he'd have been forth his fifty thou
sard. But now he doesn't own dol
lar"
"And," the great Kentuckian used to
add, 1.-The worst of it was, every word
Of it was true
1t was characteristic of the man that
at the next stopping place he hurried
away and took another coach lest his
critics should recognize him and be
mortified at their unintentional rude
ness.

station, and I feared I was late, says a
writer in Judge.
In an agony of suspense and mental
anguish, with protruding eyes and gap
ing mouth, labored on with what
speed might while burdened down
with heavy grips.
While I was thus suffering and maxi
i:,g my suffering noticeable to the most
casual observer l suddenly saw face
"a placid. common face-but it bore a
message of courage and hope for me.
1t made me ashamed, instantly, that l
was perturbed or anguished in spirit
over so small a thing as the prospect of
missing train.
My features relaxed; my eyes re-
turned to the vicinity of their sockets;
my mouth came shut like a steel trap
whose spring had suddenly been re-
Taxed. Calm entered my spirit, my
pace slackened.
The face I had seen was that Of the
Union station clock, and it told me l
had ten minutes to make my train.
