gar Stripping, goes forth from

and stirring appeal to Governor

Governor Brown is not in his
office this week, but is taking a
little vacation on his Cherokee
county farm, but YoungbIood's
letter has made very profound
impression on his private secre-
tary, Col. Jesse Perry.
MIR. Youngblood resides at Tai
lulah Lodge and his letter is a long
one. He says he is deeply in love
with Ruth May STRIPPING ard that
he sincerely believes she cares for
him with equal affection. But she
will not become his wife, so Young
blood declares she has vowed, I'm.
til her father is freed.
The appeal is strong and pa
thetic one and it is going to move
Governor Brown profoundly, for
he likes young people and this
peculiar plel is going to make
deep impression on him.
Chief Stripping, whose remarka-
BILE story, his capture and the turn
ing down of the plea for pardon
are all recent and familiar history.

be IN wrstched health.

IL You Eat You Need Digestit
The New Relief for Indigestion

1t has been stated that more
than eighty million people in the
United States are victims of some
form of Indigestion. The Ameri-
can people do not take time enough
to eat. The result is stomach dis
tress, gas, belching, indigestion
and dyspepsia.
Digestit is the new relief it
has been found certain, quick
and permanent remedy. Thousands
of people have found relief from
its use. Their own statements on
file in our office are proof. You

can try it yourself without any
risk-if it fails to give you abso-
lutte satisfaction your money will
be returned. Browns Digestit is
a little tablet easy to swallow and
absolutely harmless. 1t relieves
Indigestion almost instantly, stops
food fermentation, prevents dis
tress after eating and cures dys-
pepsia. You need it even though
you are not sick-it aids digestion
and gives you all the nourishment.

tunity II learn, it is q source OF much
regret that the period of instruction
could not have been more extended.
THE total time aboard ship was barely
six days. and nj ,he expiration of thar
tims the men had only just begun to
appreciate the significance of the daily
routine Having become familiar With
their surroundings and the ships az
ministratian, another six days would
have heen vastly more valuable than
the first SIX. It is. therefore, respectful
~ recommended that for future tours

ed as the actual period Of instruction

"fnasmuch rs The Maine Reserve Is
now familiar with the construction or

cooperation, it is further respectful
ly recommended that the Maine Re-

speaks nothing but the truth.
Mr.. Sugg has suffered greatly from
IsleeplessnesS and in a recent letter
says For ten wears ] have suffered
greatly from a nervous ailment which
caused me to lose at least three
hours of needed sleep every night.
Il tried everything | could find to
get relief. and finally one bottle of
Vinol gave me more relief than all
other remedies. | am grateful to
Einol for my present good health
Many persons who are in a nerv-
Gus, rundown condition get 50 they
cannot sleep, and this is almost eer-
tain to wreck their health unless the
right steps are taken.
Our delicious cod liver and iron
remedy without oil, Vinol, builds up
the body and nourishes the nerves
With pure, rich blood. and makes it
possible to get natural; restful sleep.
We guarantee that Ninol will do YOU

Dictionary of

In decided contrasts with the splen-
did dictionary offered by The Journal
lis a copy of Wehster's dictionary pub
lished in 1896. The book is owned bv
Mrs. w f. Fisher. Of Springfield
Mass. In it's day the dictionary was
undoubtedly looked unon as "a gem of
the printers and binders art 1t is
bound in full calf. the type. in con-
trast to that Of the dictionary being
offered Ia journal readers is small.
The title page bears the words
"Compendious Dictionary of the Eng
lish Language" il which 5000 words
are aided Ia the number found in the
best English eompends. In its dcfini-
ti9ns the little volume shines, how
ever, some If the definitions given be-
ing gems of their kind. For instance.
III" word Squacco is defined as a large
aud fierce bird Evidently eagles,
condors, hawks or any large bird with
a temper is a squacco
The fact that there are some black
swans was evidently overlooked by
those who compiled the dictionary.
for a swan is defined as a large white
bird. A JiboNa is IN American serpent
Of the largest kind. Sciatic is defined
as-troubled with the hip govt. An
other gem is The definition of vase,
which is given as vessel with foot
to it. If the battleship North Dakota
only had foot it would come under
the head of vase.
The definition of skunk is a choice
one. This is given as-a quadrGped
remarkable for its smell.
In this little volume are given also
tables of money, weights and meas
ures, divisions of time, postoffices in
the United States, of which there were
only Il at the time and other data Of
interest to the inhabitants of the
country at That time, and of extreme
interest in comparison with the tables

Il recommend as follows: That the
