PRESCRIPTION
For a Long Life.

This is the prescription for long
life given by an old gentleman in Con-
necticut, who is ninety-nine years old
and still we'll and cheerful, Live
temporarily, be slow to anger, don't
worry, take plenty of exercise in the
fresh air, and, above all, keep cheer
full"
Should the system get run down
digestive organs weak-the blood thin
and sluggish, take Vinol, which is a
delicious combination of the medicine
bodybuilding properties of Gods
livers, with the useless grease elimi-
mated and tonic iron added. We re-
gard Vinol as one of the greatest
body-builders and strength-creators in
the world for aged people.
Mrs. Mary Ivey, of Columbus, Ca,
says: eff people only knew the good
Vinol does old people, you would be
unable to supply the demand; it is
the finest tonic and strength-creator
l ever used"
We wish every feeble old per-
son in this vicinity would try
Vinol on our agreement to return their
money If it fails to give satisfaction.

Fate.

Two shall be born the whole wide world
apart,
And speak in different tongues, and have
no thought
Each Of the others being, and no heed,
And these DER unknown seas to unknown
lands
Shall cross. escaping wreck. defying death
And al uncousciou@iy shape every act
And bond each wandering step to this one
That one day out of darkness they shall
meet
And read lifes meaning in each others
eyes,
And two shah walk some narrow way Of
life,
SO nearly side by side that should one
turn
Ever SO little space to left or right,
They needs must stand acknowledged face
to face,
And yet with wstfuI eyes that never
meet
with cropping hands that never clasp and
lips
Calling in vain to ears that never hear,
They seek each other all their weary days
And die unsatisiied. And this is fate.

A Comedy That Was Enacted In the
House of Representatives.

In the closing days of the first SEES,
sion OF the Fifty-seventh congress
Uncle Joe Cannon, then chairman
of the appropriations committee, had
vigorously attacked some provisions of
the naval appropriation bill that had
been inserted by the senate. Finally
he secured Il vote in the house, instruct
ing the confcrees of the house not to
recede on their disagreement to one
particularly obnoxious provision.
The matter was debated in confer
ence for about three weeks. Finally
the house conferees yielded in minor
particular to the senate and reported
an agreement to the house When this
agreement was read and Mr.. Cannon
learned that the position of the house
had been altered by the conferees he
took the floor and in scathing language
denounced the conferees for having, as
he said. betrayed the house."
vote was taken, and Mr.. Cannon's
position was sustained ThereupOn the
speaker. Mr.. Henderson, took the
measure out of the hands of the men,
bers of the committee on naval affairs
and appointed Il new conference com
mittee. consisting of Mr.. Cannon Uncle
joel. Mr. Moody OF Massachusetts and
Mr. Shafroth.
The following morning these confer
ees met the senate confereeS. and after
a stormy session of several hours du-
ration they found that they, too. would
have to Weld 80 the senate confereeS in
minor particular. They then reported
an agreement to the house.
AS soon as it had been read the late
Amos j. Cummings. who had been one
of the original conferees. arose ut his
seat. and. taking almost the exact
words of Mr., Cannon--uttered the
evening before-he told the members
how they had been betrayed" by their
new confereeS. Then. turning to Mr..
Cannon, he said with whitening scorn:
For three weeks the former conferees
of the house fought the senate confer
ees inch by inch. 1t was only when the
members of this house began to APP
peal to us to reach an agreement in
order that they might get away from
the heat Of WaShiugton's summer that
We finally yielded in il rritiing matter"
Then. shaking his finger at Mr.. Can,
uon. who stood across the aisle from
him. and raising his voice 70 a high
pitch, he Numbered;
But. sir. what did YOU do? You fell
at the first shot; you dropped in the
first ditch. Sir You're miSnamed
You're no cannon; YOUR a toy pistol"'
Everybody roarcd with laughter. The
house promptly turned down the Can
non report ana adouted the one that
had been rejected the ntght before.
Within three hours thereafter the SOS
sion had adjourned sine die New York
