PUT BLAME ON The PLASTER
Only Thing Farmer Could Think Of
to Account for the Condition
Of His Dead Cow.

A Weird tale Is told by William Far
mum, who declares the incident. as
he relates 1t, occurred some time last
summer while he was sojourning In
the west.
At the end Of a days journey on
horseback he stopped at q small hut
occupied by a mar and his wife, the
pride of whose lives was q COW named
Clarice. Now 1t so happened that at
the time Of Farnum's visit the COW
country was in the grip Of a disease
peculiar to the bovine species. Hun
dreds Of cattle we're being moved
down monthly by its terrible ravages,
and the farmer and his wife were hap
by that 80 far their beloved Clarice
had escaped.
But. alas! Their Joy was short
lived. On the very night that Far
mum put up at the hut Clarice sue
cumbed and lay herself down on her
pallet Of straw with every indication
that she was resigned to Journey into
the great beyond.

despair, and Farnum was called on
for help. He suggested that they
make a large poultice. apply 1t to the
afflicted parts and cover Clarice with
blankets for the night. This was done
and the rurals retired to pray.
But the COW country supports a
band Of men who make 1t their busi-
ness to find stricken cattle, strip them
Of their hides and sell them. and a
pair Of these nocturnal visitors found
Clarice-dead. They deftly removed
her hide, replaced the blanket around
her nude form and departed In search
Of the next victim.
At sunrise the farmer got himself
out Of bed and went to see how his
beloved Clarice was faring. Lifting
the edge of the blanket he uttered a
cry of horror. Out Of the hut rushed
his wife, followed by the actor.
What's the matter?" asked the lat
ter.
Matter" shrieked the farmer, by
heck, you made the plaster too
strong!"

The Philomela Glee Club from
the Springfield Normal gave an ex-
cellent concert in the Mansfield
Opera House on Friday night Feb.7,
to a large, well-pleased audience.
Prof. Kinsev and wife proved
their splendid musicianship from
start to finish, Mrs. Kinsey accom-
panying at the piano while MI. Kin
sey directed. Their twenty girls
sang to the credit of the Normal,
which they so cheerfully represented
that this question was heard: Wall,
now what they gigglin' at?" and
then in a whisper: See um poke
each other!" However. their sing.
ing was joyful and tasteful, bringing
the applause OF one and all.
Especially worthy Of compliments
were the vocal solo by MI. kinsey

the young ladies of the Philomela
Glee club of the Springfield State
Normal returning on an early train

concert tour. Full houses greeted
the students at both places and the
hospitality rendered the students
made the trip a most enjoyable, one
to the twenty young ladies and
Prof. and Mrs. c. P. Kinsey of the
Normal conservatory.
The club was met at the train at
Mansfield by the boys of the public
school, who escorted the visitors to
the homes of the best citizens of
Mansfield, where the young singers
were royalty entertained. They
spent the afternoon visiting the
Mansfield schools. The opera house
was sold out during the afternoon,
no seats remaining shortly after the
noon hour. The audience that
night was the largest eve assembled
in Mansfield, and the Glee club de.
lighted everyone.
At Mountain Grove yesterday the
hospitality of the citizens was also
of a most delightful nature. The
visitors were splendidly cared for.

BRONCHITIS SUFFERER
Takes Druggists Advice With
Splendid Result.

If anyone should know the worth
of a medicine it is the retail druggist
who sells it over his counter every
day in the week, and is in a position
to know what remedy gives the best
satisfaction.
Mrs. Frank H. Uline, of West Sand
Lake, N. Y, says: For a number of
years | was a great sufferer from
bronchitis. Last July had an attack
which was more severe than any, and
my friends thought could not recover
from it. Then 1 was advised by my
druggist to try Vinol, which l did,
with wonderful results. My cough
has left me; | have gained in weight
and appetite, and l am as strong as
ever was. I advise all who have
bronchitis, chronic coughs, or who are
run down to try Vinol."
1t is the combined action of the
medicinal curative elements of the
Gods liver, without the greasy oil,
aided by the blood-making and
strengthening properties of tonic
iron that makes Vinol so efficient.
Remember, we guarantee Vinol
to do just what we say - we
pay back your money if it does not.
