Miracle OF Memory.

A petal fell from rose in a bouquet
which a delicate girl was carrying through
the street and fluttered towards the
ground, and jus; then the muddy boot OF
an old cleaner OF the streets got in its
way, and with the dew OF its own life il
attached itself to the humble covering OF
humble feet, and later when the man
glanced down and saw il, he smiled at
the incongruousness. And as he smiled,
this crude and homely mind settled itself
upon the dainty petal and with passing
breeze OF fancy was borne away from
the artificial grandeur Of the city, across
the fields and rivers and mountains, and
while his feet still trod the stony street,
his soul was in the little old-home cot
tage where his boyhood was spent, and
he stood under the old rose bush which
hung over the door. and he lifted up his
arms and took great masses OF bloom
into their embrace, and buried his face
in their glory, and the tired old man was
a boy again. And yet they say there are
no miracles today

Thinks She Is a Girl Again.

Edward Ireland, of Bargaintown, a
hamlet eight miles from Atlantic City, n.
J., was admitted TO room in the City
Hospital a few days agoto see his wife,
who about a month ago was knocked
down by Shore Line express near her
home and sustained a fractured skull.
She hovered between life and death for
three weeks, but several days ago began
to improve.
"Who are you?" she inquired when
her husband entered the room.
Don't you know me ?" inquired Mr..
Ireland.
"No, don't recall having met you"
said the woman. "Was it at the party
last week-the one after school closed p
Mr.. Ireland did not answer, but step
ped outside TO the corridor and sent in
their five children, whose ages range
from three 10 fifteen years. The boys
and girls claSped her hands and kissed
her, but she looked at them with the
eyes of a stranger. When they departed
and the father returned again 10 the room
she said
at was nice to see some young folks
again. Whose children were they that
just left here ?"
Mr.. Ireland said nothing, but, heart
broken, went outside and told one of the
physicians that his wife did not seem to
recognize either him or her sons and
daughters.
eve feared that" the doctor said.
"When she recovered consciousness she
began to talk about events OF years ago.
She fancied herself young girl unmar-
ried and not long out of school. We
hoped that your presence and that OF the
children might restore her memory"
The husband, after his early grief had
been quieted, sought other means 10 re-
store recollection OF their marriage. He
went about the neighborhood and brought
to the hospital three or four persons who
had been present at the wedding sixteen
years ago. Mrs. lreland-although these
folk had been her most intimate friends
at the time of the ceremony and ever
afterHard-greeted them with the calm
politeness she would have used upon
meeting entire strangers. When they
recovered from their surprise they spoke
to her about her wedding.
o. married ?" she responded, with
a laugh. "Not p
Within a month or so, the doctors say,
she will be able to leave the hospital and
return to her home. But they hold forth
no hope of her memory coming back.
An that brings up the questions:
Will she 60 home ? Believing that
she is still twenty and unmarried, how is
she to be induced TO join man who is,
in her belief, an entire stranger?

The Man Who Makes Money Out of 1t,


In Salem, ILL.,, on March Is, the most
horrible crime known to humanity was
committed by an eighteen-year-old boy,
Sullens, against the little foureen-year-
old daughter OF well-known Judge. In
court Sullens was asked "Where did
you 90 after you left the girl ?" He tes-
titled:

pint OF whiskey and eight bottles OF beer

Lakin'S. was in car when the deputy
sheriff found me.
He was saved from lynching only by
the appeal OF minister who diverted the
attention OF the crowd 10 the blind tigers
and bootleggers which flourish in the
town.
M. A. ThraSher, superintendent OF
schools, joined the ministers and other
citizens in the protests against what they
described as the real cause OF the crime.

years ago and was as fine boy as there
was in town." said Mr.. Thrasher
Booze is responsible for his present
state"
Who are the brewers and whiSkey
makers who stimulated this crime and
made money out OF it by supplying liquor
to a dealer in a prohibition town? They
are probably highly respectable citizens
of Peoria where no social odium attends
the making of money by the stimulation
OF vice. II the Chicago Tribune can
identity these men and print their photo
graphs, it will add one more TO the many
public services which have distinguished
that paper.-COhier'S.

A MESSAGE TO WOMEN
Who are "Just Ready to Drop"

When you are "jusr ready to drop"
when you feel so weak that you can
hardly drag yourself about-and be-
cause you have not slept well, you
get up as tired-out next morning as
when you went to bed, then you need
help right away.
Miss Lea Dumas writes from Ma
lone, n. Y, saying: 81 was in a badly
rundown condition for several weeks,
but two bottles of Vinol put me on
my feet again and made me strong
and we'll. Vinol has done me more
good than all the other medicine l
ever took"
II the careworn, haggard men and
women, the pale, sickly children and
feeble old folks around here would
follow Miss Dumas example, they,
too, would soon be able to say that
vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron
remedy, had built them up and made
them strong.
Il is a wonderfully strengthening
end invigorating body-builder, and We
III it under an ironclad guarantee

Spelling For The Bride.

Bride and groom they were. unmis-
takably, and the guests writing "Wish
you were here" greeting in that Atlantic
City hotel were much interested in them.
Each sat at a desk and got busy with pen
and ink, the silence being broken only
when the bride asked how TO spell hard
word. These queries annoyed an old
gentleman writing nearby, and he was
plainly relieved when the bridegroom
left the room. The little bride did not
know that she had been deserted, and
she again got stuck on a word.

she asked.
