men. and its exaction has burned the
hearts an! the powder Of generations
Of naval commanders.

run the risk Of war, although the pro

Without warning or argument the
shore defenSes or a man Of war would
send a round shot across the bows or
between the masts Of the foreigner.
and if the offending flag did not in
stantiy come down the insoient intru-

raked through and through.
Such was the; reception accorded by
Sir John Hawkins in the sixteenth cen

time of peace. sailed into Portsmouth

lowering his flag:

social and commercial factor in the

are his CO. u. companions, aiding

LOST BY An EYELASH.
When James r. Keene Laid For Him

When James r. Keene Laid For Him
Big Bet on Bosom.
Although James X. Neenc WAS known
as the nerviest of Wall street opera
tors. lie was anything but Il betting
man Oh the race tracks. He dearly
loved to win valuable stakes. and Ee
won nearly everything in this line ex
cept the classic English Derby. His
horses rarely carried anything but an
infiniiesimal wager. Big wagerS were
few and far between with him.
One day when his Ben Brush colt
Bosom was making his racing debut
at Sheepshead Mr.. keene visited the
paddock in company with bis trainer.
Jimmy Rowe. and inspected the colt
minutely. keene was very fond Of
MONDAY. tie colts dam. and he talked
proudly Of his expectations of Bosom.
The colt had worked exceptionally
fast, and the race looked as sure as

Rowe was that A;r. Keene decided to
make one OF his rare large Lets on
Bosom to win. The news of the Keene
wager created almost sensation in
the ring. and the price against the colt
went tumbiing.
The race was run, and Bosom lost
By an eyeiaSh. He went out with Rer-
ry Maid, and the two raced stride for
stride like a team. When it was Be-

So it was all the way. Mr.. Keene

glasses without 4 murmur. The crowd
was on its toes. As they passed the
judges it was Berry Maids turn to

lost one of his few wagers on the turf.

Do YOU. ENJOY EATING
Or Does Everything You Eat
Distress You?

Experts declare that the reason
stomach disorders are so common in
this country is due to hasty and
careless habits of eating. Stomach
troubles and rundown conditions also
usually go together.
John Lind, Of Oneonta, N. Y, says:
II have been troubled with a bad
stomach trouble for fifteen years, and
became so weak that I could hardly
walk or do any work. My appetite
was very poor, and it seemed impos-
sible to get any relief. Since taking
two bottles of Vinol I find tina. it has
already made a remarkable improve
ment in my health; my digestion is
much stronger, and I have gained in
weight"
Vinol makes weak stomachs strong
because it strengthens and tones up
the weakened, tired and oVertaxed
nerves Of the digestive organs. Vinol
is easily ass1milated BY the weakest
stomachs, and is delicious to the taste.
Try bottle Of Vinol with the
understanding that yo,r money will
be returnea if 1t does not help you.

Crude Cannon.

Of the early cannon, the larger ones
were made by taking bars OF iron ana
binding them together with hoops,
leaving 4 hole in the middle. The shot
consisted of scraps of iron and often
small stones. If they got too much
powder in The gun the barrel would eN-
