THE OLD LIBERTY BELL.
History Of This Relic Of the RevoIu-
tionarv Patriots

History of This Relic Of the RevoIu
tionary Patriots.
Overvigorous ringing of the old Lib
erty bell many years ago on the occa-
sion Of the celebration of the Declare
ton Of Independence was what put
the crack in it and forever destroyed
its resonant tone. 1t was cast by Pass
& Stow in Philadelphia and hung in
the belfry of the now historic state
house in lower Chestnut street early in
June. 1853. 1t contains 2.0SO pounds
of metal.
Near the top of the bell were cast
the words ''l'rocIaim Liberty Through
out All the Land Onto All the 1nhabit-
ants Thereof" Prophetic Of its des-
tiny, this gave it the name Liberty
bell.
When the British army marched on
Philadelphia in 1777 the bell was TAX
en- down by patriots and carried off in
the night to Allentown in order that
enemy. In 1871 it was returned to the
tower Of the statehouse.
For more than half a hundred years
thereafter the bell was rung and hon
ored on Independence day every year
before the crack appeared in it. An
effort was made to restore it's tone by
saving the crack wider, but this prov
ed Of no avail. The bell was finally
removed from the tower to a lower
story Of the statehouse and used only
on extraordinary occasions. Suisse
quently it was rugged up on its origi.
nal timbers in the vesttbule. In 1898
it was exhibited at the Columbian ex'
position in Chicago.

LIVE $50 YEARS
Scientist. SAY It Can Be Done.


"Old age is simply disease" say
some of the European scientists now.
They hold that with proper attention
to diet people should live $50 years.
We don't know how true that is.
But we do know that great numbers
OF elderly and aged people feel and
look younger than they are because
they build up with Ninol, our delicious
cod liver and iron remedy without oil.
Mrs. Michael Bloom. of Lewistown,
Pa, 50 years OF age, had to be wheeled
around in an invalid's chair before
she began taking Vinol, and after US
ing a few bottles was able to so out
walking alone. and do most OF her
Homework too. That shows how
Einol strengthens feeble people.
1t sharpens the appetite, makes the
blood rich and causes it to circulate
better You feel the good effects OF
Vinol very soon. We guarantee that
Vinol will please YOU and pay back
your money if it does not. Leo II.

Heart toHeart
Talks.
CHOOSE the HARD JOB.
~ EDWIN A. NYE-

Choose to do the hard things.
II you want a practical monopoly in
your line choose to do the difcult
things. Most persons look for the easy
things. That reduces the number Of
your competitors.
Grapple the difficult task.
Because you cannot win a big vic
tory without putting up big fight
Gold ID hard to get. You must dig for
It,
Do not skip the hard Job.
Because by doing the hard job you
equip yourself for the doing of it, you
develop capacity for 1t. And when by
persistent effort and a brave struggle
you have made good you have not only
accomplished the big work: but. what
10 more important
You have remade yourself.
You have changed yourself from
what may have been a small man into
. big man.
Do you not see?
The work calls out the capacities
you did not know you had and devel-
ops new faculties. Big tasks not only
take big men. but make big men.
Responsibility makes men grow.
No one knows what he can do until
he tries. If you formed the habit In
childhood or at school Of Sinking the
duties that are onerous reform your
self.
Choose a mans job and
Master 1t.
There's half a world full Of people
who dream of prosperity. but who sell
dom or never dream Of moiling and
toiling and saving-the only honest
way to get ahead. They dream Of
some kind friend who will die and en-.
dow them.
And
Many there are who see the vision Of
noble living who lack the sustaining
power and the stringent self denial
necessary to live that life.
Essay the hard task. because, as
Whittier puts It.
Better to stem with heart and hand
The roaring tide Of life than lie
,Unmindful. on its flowing strand.
OF Gods occasions drifting by.
Better with naked nerve to bear
The needles of this goading air
Than In tho lap Of sensuous ease forego
The godliks power to do. tho godlike aim
to know.

AS for the Blue Sox fans, they
had some trouble in recognizing
Hardy for the same man they had
once tormented. They roared at
him and reminded him of the
goat and the tin can, but Hardy
only laughed at them with his
thumb at his nose. He was noisy,
aggressive, and almost cocky.
Didn't l say that fellow would
make trouble if he ever got into
his stride?" asked DAILY.
Down the home stretch they
went to the close of the season.
The Blue Sox were tied up In a
driving finish with their old enc
mics, the Grays. By taking their
last three games the Blue Sox
could win the pennant, even If the
Grays won their last two, which
seemed likely, as no pitchers SEEM
ed able to withstand the terrific
onslaught of the heavy end of the
Gray batting order.
Curled up in the corner of a
Pullman smoking compartment,
Hardy read the sporting pages
and turned the situation over in
his mind. 1t was pretty tough
luck, he thought, to have to play
against a man like Ben Daily in
such a crisis. One more game won
meant nothing to the Reds. One
game lost meant everything to
Ben DAILY. A pennant meant a
bonus for the manager, besides a
fat slice Of the post-season profits.
Catterson loafed into the smok-
ing compartment, and cast an eye
over the headlines of Hardy's pa
per.
II wish it was the Grays we
had to play" said Catterson. Il
like Ben Daily, and 1 want to SEE
him win out. but-we've got to
spill the beans for him II we can.
You remember what an awful
belch there was two years ago
when they said the Pinks laid
down to let the Grays win? !
never believed there was a word
of truth in that, but the scores
made it look bad. Cost the Pinks
a barrel of money the next season,
though. Jee-rusalemi | wish it
was any man but Daly!"
Hardy looked out at the flying
Landscape, one knee doubled up,
and his bony shin in his powerful
hands. Catterson had been put
ting his thoughts into words.

This was the situation when the

ed upon Cunningham, the Red IS

for four runs in the opening in
