Life in Ireland is never devoid OF

Captain. John Moresby was stationed

that it became his duty to survey a

1t is the combined action of the
curative elements of the Gods livers
aided by the blood making and
strength creating properties of tonic
iron contained in VINOL which
makes it so successful in curing
stubborn colds and bronchitis.
VINOL is a constitutional rem
edy for chronic coughs, colds, bron-
chitis and pulmonary troubles, not
a palliative like cough syruPs.
Try a bottle of VINOL. If you
don't think it helped you, we will

The health OF the body as well as Of
the mind depends upon forgetting. To
let the memory Of a wrong. Of angry
words, Of petty meanness. linger and
rankle In your memory will not only
dissipate your mental energy. but II
will react upon the body. The secrs-
tions will be diminished. digestion i'm

health suffer In consequence. Forget

WELL TRAINED PONY

Dear Aunt Laurie:
l am going to tell you about my
experience with a horse that my
father drives for the city. His name
is Dick.
Yesterday I went to take Dick to the
north portal of Elizabeth lake tunnel.
On the way over l got a little switch
and taught him to shake his head,
and every time hit him on the neck
he would shake his head and not go
faster, but If / would hit him on the
shoulder he would go faster and not
throw his head.
1 have gone to the lake so many
times that Dick knows just when to
gallop and when to walk, so when L
got off the trail he would run a little
ways and then walk again.
My horseback ride may not prove
very interesting to my fellow Juniors,
but as soon as they have had their
first horseback ride they will agree
with me. Your loving nephew,

LEARNED TO RIDE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
My first experience was with pony.
/ was years old. We We're living on
q big ranch in Texas. We had lots of
horses and several ponies. Among one
herd of many was a dear little black
and white pony. My uncle, who owned
the ranch, said that if 1 would learn to
ride and hitch up | could have the
pony for my own. OF course / wanted
IL because l had a long way to go to
school or 10 town.
1t was two weeks after the day my
uncle had said that l might have the
pony if / could learn to ride by my
self. | had learned to ride, but not very
well, so my uncle consented to teach
me how. When ] first started 1 didn't
know q thing about riding or hitch
ing up. ..s -
About a week after this / learned TO
ride and to hitch up. l thought 1t was
great fun to ride each day to school
or to town.
1 named my pony Beauty because ne i;
was like the story of 'Black Beauty.
Beauty was sold to young woman
when we moved to California. L Will
never forget the good times we had
together when l owned him.

grade.

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Every time | see a black horse 1t
makes me think of the time when
grandpa put me on the back of his
black horse, when l was about years
old.
The horse stood still, but 1 was
afraid he would run or grandpa would
let go of his head, but pretty soon my
courage came back when 1 saw the
horse was gentle, and that I didn't fall
off: then grandpa led Ben around the
ward with me on his back. He then
started him to gallop a little bit, but
was laughing at something my auntie
had said and 1 didn't hear grandpa
tell me to hold on tight, and before
knew it L had fallen and landed on
small cypress hedge; not hurt, but
scared to death, and it was long time
before they could coax me on u horse

NEW YEAR EXPERIENCE
,r Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie
Teheran for about century was
the recognized capital of Persia. 1t
has little to distinguish 1t in general
appearance from other large cities of
the country. The streets are for the
most part narrow and wretchediy
paved.
New Years day is an ancient feast
day continued from the time of idol
airy through all Persia.
1t was on this day that my cousin
wrote me of his experience with a
horse.
The people always brought out their
most beautiful horses and as my
cousin viewed the gaily caparisoned
animals he became infatuated with
one. He interviewed the owner and
was successful in persuading him TO
sell the horse.
What a day that was in the history
of his life! As he rode through the
streets the horse was very mucn ad-
mired by the representatives of the
different nations in the legations.
