LOOKS At HORSES
AS PARENTS HUNT
Three Year Old Lost Boy Sees
Patrol Wagon and Lights
With Big Policeman.
FINDS A NEW FRIEN[
Father and Mother Search FranticaIly
for Son Who Is Found at
Station.

Last night while frantic parents.
with visions of a little form engulfed
in the waters of the river, or of lit
tie nIangled body being taken from
beneath the wheels of a street car,
were securing the streets of Rock Is
land in a futile search for lost three
year-old boy, who had been left be-
hind in a rush for a street car, lit
tie flaXen-haired Fauntleroy, his face
aglow with excitement and his big
blue eyes fairly shining, was holding
fast to the hand of a big policeman,
as he gazed with ever increasing Won
der at the nice horses, the pretty red
patrol wagon and other strange and
wonderful sights to be seen at the po-
lice station, greeting each new revela-
ton with shouts of childish glee.
LEFT BEHIND.
The little boy had come down town
with his parents, and shortly before 10
the entire party were standing in front
of Thomas drug store on Second ave
nue. and Seventeenth street, waiting
for a car.
The father went inside to buy some
post cards, and the little fellow, leav-
ing his mother and sister, followed.
At this juncture the car came, and
a rush was made for the public con-
veyance. The father, dashed out OF
the drug store, unaware of the fact
! that his little son was also in the es.
Enlistment, and just caught the car
! The lad was not missed for nearly Is
minutes, and then the parents, panic
stricken, began a search for the boy.
! FINDS FRIENDS.
/ In the meantime, Officer John Fur
long, happened along past the drug
store, and taking the little fellow in
tow, took him to the police station. Al
/ first Buster was afraid of the big man
with the brass buttons, but after the
officer showed him the horses, the pa
troll wagon and the lights and bells
on the switch board at the sergeant S
desk, the chap seemed entirely con
tented with his new found friend and
the strange surroundings. About 10: &c
d cali was received at the station, in
/ quiring for a lost boy, and in a few
minutes the frightened parents haC
clasped their little one TO them.
Good bye. kid said Officer Furlong
as the happy party left.
/, Bye, bye" shouted the little one tC
his new found friend. I'm come and
see you soon" and with a contented
smile on his face and a wave of his
f! chubby hand, he was gone.

Yet the food has not the faintest

GIRLS COLOR RETURNS
Was Pale And Sickly Last Spring.

Every boil is worth five dollars"
is an old saying among people who
think that the impurities of the blood
escape when boil breaks.
But that is a great mistake. A boil
is only a sign of impure blood and
has no purifying power. The only
thing to do is to enrich and vivify the
blood and the best thing for tins is
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron
preparation without OIL
Other signs of bad blood are pale
skin, weakness, nervousness and run
down condition of the system.
Miss Alice Jones, a bright young girl
of Richmond Hill, N. Y, was pale and
weak for months. She began taking
vinol and it not only made her well
andIstrong but also brought back her
healthy color, She also says 81 like
to take Vinol as the taste is pleasant.
This is the very best time Of veal
to put your blood in good order ant
build up your system, and We qua
rantee that Vinol will do this. II
does not, we give back your money

1T used to be the custom OF the
rancher after he had been TO town and

the house, open the kitchen door a
little and toss in his hat. Ii after a
reasonable wait, the hat was allowed
to remain, the man knew that his wife
was willing to let him come in, but
il the hat sailed out AGAIN. he knew
that danger awaited.
Il am sure that Col. Roosevelt had
that in mind when he made that state
ment. 1t was an invitation for the
people to make known to him whether
they wanted him for president. In
other words. if they allowed his hat
to remain in the ring, he would fol-
