his earnestness he leaned towards
her, half out of his chair.
"Oh, I'm so sorry murmured
Eunice, bending over her work.
Are you? And why. pray?"
Because it always seemed to me a
very wise arrangement for both OF
you. She has beauty. refinement, and
social position; you have the money.
What more could the world ask"
There! it was out, and Eunice felt
that she could breathe more freely.
Again and again during the past two
years she had schooled herself to
make some such Indifferent speech as
this.
Wilfrid gasped. This was the girl
who had promised always to wear his
ring; who had assured him that what.
ever happened she would never cease
to care for him!
by Jove!" he thought, she's hard
as nails! Never gave her credit for
that sort of thing!" But aloud he
said, with some show of dignity:
You seem to have left one item
out Of your calculations, Eunice."
And what may that be?" inquired

light and inspecting 1t very earnestly

Eunice. e~levating an admonitory

Eunice sighed In simulated dis

this remark.

AT this unjust accusation Eunice

Wilfrid found his hat and then the

THE Democratic majority in the next
West Virginia Legislature has a very
tiCkliSh task before il in the selection OF
a United States Senator to succeed Sen
ator Scott For a good many years IN
West Virginia, as in other States, it has
been customary TO sell this high office,
but the people will not stand for this sort
OF thing any longer. The overthrow OF
the Republican majority ia this State
meant that the people want a change in
methods and in leaders, and if the DEM
ocratS are to retain favor they must give
those who put them in power a square
deal
A Senator must not be chosen simply
because lie has big barrel. Everybody
is tired OF this sort of representative
The corporations must not be permitted
to name the man, for they have been re-
buked and we want no more OF their
choice. The Legislature would make a
hit, in our opinion, if it should name a
poor man for the Senate.
Then we want good Democrat-one
OF those who has stood by the party in
adversely as well as prosperity, and who
is a Democrat from principle. There are
several such who are aspiring to the hon.
or at present.
We believe that majority of the ma
ority in the next Legislature will desire
10 do the right thing. We hope that there
may be no troublesome recalcitrants.

How Old People
May Prolong
Their Lives

At advanced age the organs act
more slowly than in youth. Circu-
lation becomes poor, blood thin and
watery, appetite 1itful, and diges-
ton weak. This condition leaves
the system open to disease such as
Coughs, Colds, Grippe, Pneumo-
MIA, Rheumatism, etc.
VINOL is the greatest health
creator and body builder we know
of for old people, as it supplies
the very elements needed to re-
build wasting tissue and replace
weakness with strength.
HERE Is THE PROOF
4 case is recorded in Albany, y. V, of
a woman who felt she was breaking
down by age and WIS doomed 10 the
weak and feeble condition Of old people.
She had no strength and the slightest ex-
erliOn tired her, but NlNOL made her
we'll ard strong, and sac states that she
feels ien yaTrs younger than she did be-
fore taking tENoL.
We ask every aged person in
this neighborhood to try bottle
of VINOL with the understanding
that we will return their money if it
does not prove beneficial.
