GEORGE SWINTON LEGARE

in every meadow, George LIE,
care found some charm in every
human being he knew, and his
heart never failed to give a kind
response.
He has left a heritage to his
aged father and mother, and to
his family, that Will be a sweet
solace to them while memory
lasts.
A few of his friends went
from Pickens to attend the fun
eral in Charleston last Sabbath.
They trulv represented this
town and section when they
dropped a tear of sympathy
upon his grave, and placed upon
it the fadeless chaplet of love.
He needs no monument here.
He will liye in the hearts of our
people till every star of life
grows dim.
He is not dead, this friend
not dead,
But in the path we mortals
tread
Got some few trihing steDs
s. ahead
And nearer to the end.
So that you, too, once past this
bend,
Shall meet again as face to face,
this friend
You fancy dead"
Push gaily on strong heart.
The while,
You travel forward mile by mile,
He loiters with a backward
smile,
Till you can overtake,
And strains bis eyes to search
his wake,
Or, whistling, as he sees you
through the brake,
Waits on the stiIe.

Hon. George S. Legare.

Here is sad news for Pickens.
1t has even cast a spell Of sad
ness over the continent-ove1
the United States-the great
country he loved so we'll and
delighted to serve.
Last Thursday he passed into
the silent, echoless shadow of
death. At his country home
near Charleston, surrounded by
those who We're so dear to him,
he gave the last word of cheer,
responded to the final encore,
and the curtain was rung down
on the life devoted to the we'll
fare and h. ppiness Of the family
and people for whom he freely
gave all the treasure Of his
great, kind heart.
For fortv-three years the light
OF the sun had glowed upon bis
pathway, and he triumphed
over every difficulty to success,
and lived in the hearts of his
friends loyal and true.
All the qualities of his mind
and heart inspired confidence.
He believed in the divinity cf
friendship.
This oyermastering faith was
the sacred text Of his life every
where and at all times.
A stern Democrat. crowned
with all the honors his own
political party could give him in
Congress. yet the welcome com
panion and favored friend OF
every stand-pat Republican who
knew him. President Taft
loved him, and ex-Speaker Can
non rejoiced in his friendship.
Like the wise specialist who
believes there is a magic howe!

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: "I was in badly
rundown condition for several weeks,
but two bottles of Vinol put me on
my feet again and made NE strong
and we'll. Vinol has done me more
good than all the other medicine I
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.
It Is wonderfully strengthening
and invigorating body-builder, and we
sell it under an ironclad guarantee
CT satisfaction. You get your money

CHILD FALLS FORTY FEET
WITHOUT BREAKING A BONE

What seemed certain death was
mlraculously turned into a severe
bruising for 18-months-old Helen
Kubic last night when she fell nearly
forty feet to the ground from the
third story window of her home, at
70 Monmouth street. The child is at
st. Barnabas's Hospital, where the
physicians make the statement that
no bones are broken, and that the
girls condition is not serious. Her
mother, who was Frustrated with the
shock. is improved today.
The father, Louis Kubic, had just
sat down to supper in the Darkroom,
and, according to her custom, the
mother placed the child opposite in a
high-chair. While Mrs. Kubic was
away getting a strap to secure the
baby in the chair, the little girl saw
dog in the yard below and, calling
to the "doggie." she leaned out of
the open window. The father saw
the predicament of the child and
reached for her, but he was too late.
The child fell to the ground, landing
on a cellar door. The parents rushed
to the yard, where the unconscious
form was picked up and rushed to
the hospital. The little girl was
IS months old yesterday.

could be effectively reduced through
the enactment of a law prohibiting
the slaughtering of calves, the Cham
Der of Commerce announced today its
intention to appeal to Congress for
such legislation. Eminent physicians
throughout the country will be asked
to testify as to the unwholesomeness
of veal as food and their testimony

of male beef animal until it is 3
years old and female until it has

100000 BUSHELS OF OLD
POTATOES MAY FEED POOR

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi. June r.
One hundred thousand bushels of po-
tatoes, said to be spoiled on the
tracks here, may be turned over to
charitable institutions. A Mime
apolis produce company has APP
pointed a committee to confer with
railroad officials today on the propo-
sition of giving the potatoes to
charity, provided the roads will can
eel the freight charges.
The extraordinary congestion of old
crop potatoes is said to be partly
due to the arrival of new potatoes
from the South. Yesterday the price
of old potatoes dropped continuously
throughout the day and there were
but few buyers.
