handouts has got Miss Lillian a.
Rice, a comely young maiden, who
says she is 26, aud looks it, into trou-
bic. Miss Rice has not been at all
chary about diyulging her secrets.
She openly advertised them, and she
got so many responses that Federal
Postoffice Inspectors had their atten-
ton called to her. What they learn
ed took their breath away.
Miss Rices school has students all
over the country. She charges s. for
a full course and was reaping a har-
vest. There were several hundred I'M
opened letters On her desk when the
inspector raided Eer place in Charles
town this morning, and nearly all of
them contained money or queries
as to the cost.
Miss Rice put up strong objections
to being arrested and declared that
she really taught what she promised
and so could not be arrested. Then
she turned in end proved to the in
spectors that even thoulh she could
not show them how to break jail, she
could show thrm how to keep out.
She got permission TO step into the

PORTLAND, MAINE, CHILD
Ill, Weak and Emaciated, Re-
stored to Health by Vinol

Our little daughter, six years Of age,
after a severe attack of the measles,
which developed into pneumonia, was
left pitifully thin, weak and euaciat-
ed. She had no appetite, and her stOm-
ach was so weak it could not retain
food. She lay in this condition for
weeks, and nothing the doctor pre-
scribed did bit of good, and we were
beginning to think she would never re-
cover.
"At this time we commenced to give
her Vinol, and the effect was marvel
Gus. The doctor was amazed at her
progress, and when we told him we
were giving her Vinol, he replied, 1t
is a fine remedy, keep it up We did
so, and she recovered her health and
strength months before the doctor
thought she could" j. w. Flagg,
Portland, Me.
Vinol cures conditions like this be-
cause in natural manner it increases
the appetite, tones up the digestive
organs, makes rich, red blood, and
strengthens every organ in the body.

A Few Reflections.

Every girl thinks she should marry
man who makes at least ten times
as much as hef father.
No man has a right to spend money
on beer, and then claim that times
are so hard he cannot pay his gro
Gerry and meat bills.
When a mar steals money from
another man he absconds, but when
money is stolen from the people he
doesn't have to run off.
We are not a pessimist; but of late
years it does 9bem that the tornado
has cut in ahead of the swallow as
a harbinger of spring.

TELL HER SO.

Amid the cares of married life
In spite of toll and business strife,
II you value your sweet wife,
Tell her SOL
Prove to her you don't forget
The bond to which a seal is set;
She's of life's sweets, the sweetest yet,
Tell her so!
When days are dark and deeply blue,
She has her troubles, same as you,
There was a time when you thought il
bliss
TO get the favor Of one kiss;
A dozen now won't go amiss--
Tell her so!
Your love for her is no mistake
You feel it, dreaming or awake
Don't conceal it! For her sake
Tell her so! ----.--.
Don't act if she has passed her prime,
AS if to please her were a crime
If e'er you love her now's the time
Tell her so.
She'll return foC each caress,
A hundredfold of tenderness,
Hearts like hers were made to bless
Tell her so.
You are hers and hers alone
Well you know she's all your own;
Don't wait to "rarve it on a stone
Tell her so,
Never let her heart grow cold
Richer beauties will unfold;
She is worth her weight il gold.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 16.-Filled with
dramatic incidents and marked by
scenes that bordered on the sensation,
the first day of the actual trial of the
Cooper-Sharpe case closed tonight.
Whether Colonel Duncan B. Cooper,
Robin ]. Cooper and John Sharpe kill
cd former Senator f. w. Carmack in
self defense or as a result of a con-
spiracy, is the issue. The taking of
testimony began to-day with every
scat in the big court room occupied.
Mrs. E. w. Carmack, the slain Sen
ator's widow, was half-carried into the
room. A few questions were asked
her. but she became hysterical and
was excused
AS Mr.. Lander and her sister half

man to her chair Ned Carmack, son
of the deceased, turned squarely to-

fixed upon them a look as full of ha-

Next came the testimony ofMrs. East-

and one Off not the only-eye wit

nearly 60 years old. Her hair is
snow white, Blu. her features are those
of a girl, her complexion is the en-

on to do so, she seized the revolver

the bathroom should be mottoless.
Verses appropriate to the guest room

while smoking room, den and living

Surely. with so vast a field for In

no dearth Of notices for the bathroom.

Of body was ever esteemed to proceed
from due reverence to God"
And here's one from sixteenth Gen.

Famous Poem.

Famous Poem.
When Robert Browning was twen-
ty-eight years old and after he had
written "Paracelsus" and his tragedy
Of "Strafford," he wrote "Sordello,"
about which there has always been
such a variety Of opinion. Dante In
his "Purgatory" wrote Of Sardello.
who was poet Of Provence.
when "Sordello" appeared It made
q sensation. Punch said It had Of
fered f10O to any person who would
reasonably explain one single line and
that after a year no one had claimed
this reward. Burlesques were writ
ten on II. and in one Of these It was
claimed that the funniest lines were
some Of the exact original ones.
A story Is told Of witty Douglas Jer-
rold. who met friend one day and
asked, "Have you read 'SordelloY
Does It mean anything"
The friend replied that It meant
nothing whatever. THANK heavenw
said Jerrold. "Then I am not madi !
read It yesterday and feared had
lost my wits. It Is only Browning
who has lost his"
Another story was that criminals at
Newgate prison who were condemned
to death were offered full pardon II
they would listen to the reading Of
''Sordello," but In every instance they
FASTENED with glee to the gallows.
Browning once said that he blamed
nobody but himself for the work and
that It had many faults Of expression;
that he meant to lay stress on incl
dents in the development Of soul
and that little else 10 worth study.
This estimate Of his work was given
twenty-five years after It was written,
when he had revised It and dedicated
It to a friend. He rewrote very little
Of It. and his followers have belief
that he considered "Sordello" his best
literary work. II certainly has many
beautiful lines, and in particular there

THE PLAIN OF CUISINES.

Tee Transformation Into the Field d
the Cloth Of Gold.
Il was a magnificent display when
Henry VIII. Of England and Philip l.
Of France met in good fellowship on
the plain Of Cuisines.
The kings retinue had been selected
from the noblest Of the kingdom
wolsey. with his 300 followers, headed
the escort and was followed by dukes
earls. barons. bishops and knights,
with their retainers. The escort num-
bered 1000 horsemen, not including
the queens escort, numbering nearly
1000 persons and 800 horses. The
French king had an equally splendid
retinue. King Henry and his great
cavalcade were taken, on arrival at
Cuisines. to the magnificent palace pro-
vided by Wolsey. There was an old
palace there. and woisey had estab-
lished himself In that and erected
one for his king. The palace was the
most beautiful place imaginable. II
had 80 many glazed windows that It
looked as though built Of crystal. and
much Of the woodwork. both inside
and out, was covered with gold. All
the way from the gate to the door
were rows Of silver statues. Inside
the walls Of the chambers and halls
were hung with magnificent tapestry
embroidered in gold, and the ceilings
were draped with white silk.
But Henry was not to spend all Of
his time In his fine palace, for tents
had been erected on the plain, and In
these the two kings and their suits
were to lodge. The tents Of the French
king were pitched just outside the
walls Of the town Of Andres and ex-
tended almost to the tents Of King
Henry.
The tents In which the two queens
were lodged were covered with cloth
Of gold, as were also the tents Of the
ladies in attendance upon them and Of
all members Of the royal families. The
effect was dazzling. Beautiful pavil-
ions. hung with cloth Of gold. dotted
the plain; banners hoated everywhere:
fountains Of wine spouted in the bright
June sunshine; horses. decorated with
huttering ribbons, pranced about gayly.
So gorgeous had the dreary plain been
made that 1t has become known In his
tory as the "Field Of the Cloth Of
Gold"
