Avoid making a freak of yourself

we must grant them that they have
as much sense as any men the world

himself upon woman where there
is no indication that his attention will
be welcome This is not merely con-
ceit. ~ is the cOnceit that makes our

A Scout and a Gentleman.

The question What is a gentle
MANI" is answered by Sir Robert S.
S. Baden-Powell Chief Scout of the
British Boy Scouts in the following
manner; Many people are inclin-
ed to think that the word gentle
man means a man who was born
rich, and that a boy brought ap at
expensive schools and COLLEGES must
therefore be a gentleman when he
has grown up. But this does not
always follow A fellow who is
lucky enough to have been brought
up in that way has certainly better
chances of being a gentleman
than many a poor boy has, but at
the same time a poor boy can be
just as good a gentleman as a rich
one A gentleman is what the
word says; he is a man, but a gen.
tie man, not a rough. bullying,
coarse customer, but a fellow who
though big and strong. can be kind
aud chivalrous and helpful to other
people"

HOW AN INDIANA GIRL

Miss Alta Abel, OF West Baden, Ind,
says: 81 was a complete wreck, al
ways tired, wornout and nervous. I
had to spend about one-third of my
time in bed and my life was not worth
living. Vinol, your delicious cod liver
and iron tonic, was recommended, and
1t has done me more good than all the
medicine ever took in my life That
nervous and tired feeling is all gone.

strength, until feel like another per-
SON."
Vinol is the most efficient strength
creator for such women. 1t is the
medicinal elements of the Gods livers
contained in Vinol, aided by the blood
making and strengthening properties
of tonic iron. which makes IL so far
superior to all other tonics to build
up health and strength for weak,
tired, ailing women. It contains no
oil and has a delicious taste.
We give back your money If Vinol
does not do all that we claim.

They've Got the Nerve.

The following article was clipped
from the Carrollton Patriot of Jan.
80. and as Winchester has received
her allotted assignment within the
past two weeks, we deem it in good
policy to sanction the utterances of
Rev. Bradshaw.
Thirteen sacks of mail order cat
alogues arrived at the Carrollton
postoffice in one mail Tuesday, and
other sacks of the same kind have
been arriving nearly every mail
since. A total of probably twenty
five sacks have arrived this week,
all for people who receive their
mail through the Carrollton post
office. Each sack holds probably
forty or fifty catalogues. a total of
at least one thousand catalogues
sent here.
These catalogues are not given
the advantage of parcels post rates,
but postage is paid on them at
printed matter rate, eight cents a
pound. The Chicago house that
sent out these catalogues was re-
quired to put twenty-seven cents in
stamps on every catalogue, which
means that the postage bill for the
supposed 1000 copies sent to Car
rollton alone was 500. Mind, that
was for postage alone, saying moth
ing of the cost of printing the cata-
logues, which was several times
that amount.
The success of the mail order
house lies in the fact that they
have got the nerve to put lots of
money into advertising their bust
ness. There is not a merchant in
Carrollton who has got the nerve to
put into advertising, in the terri
tory that naturally belongs to him,
in the course of a whole year, a sum
equal to that which the mail order
house paid for postage alone on ad-
vertising matter sent into the same
territory the past week. Some Car
rollton merchants have walked up
to the advantages of advertising
but some others have crawled into
their shells and are Offering all the
inducements in the world for mail

up their trade.
1t will pay the local merchant,

less nights, on the advertising

local merchant decided advantages
over the city concern in delivering
goods by mail, and it is up to him
to get in touch with the people,

Where are they all? Some have
gone, no one knows where
are there still. Perhaps some, too,
have crossed the dark river of
death. He is going home but he
thinks not of the changes which
have taken place since he left; only
of the joys of meeting with all.
Perhaps he stops at some lowly
cottage to rest. The jewellers there
will take him to their home and
give him the best they have.
A man may live in a log cabin
but he will train vines over it to
hide its roughness, for it is his
home, and he does not know what
it is 10 be dissatisfied. He is con-
tent with his lowly lot in life.
To one who is fond of home, the
trials of the weary wanderer are
unknown. Within the four walls
which shelter him, he finds all
peace and joy which the world
can give.
But there is a home we should
strive to gain; a home where pain
and parting never enter. This home
is our eternal one, and when we
reach it, we shall never wander

MONROE CITY MAY BE
ON ROUTE OF ROAD
ACROSS THE NATION
Ocean to Ocean Route May Take in
Cross State Highway. In Better
Improved Condition Missouri
Road Will Offer Greater Advant-
ages Than Other States - Hannibal
Directly in Path.

The Hannibal-St. Joseph Cross
State highway will be a part of the
OCean-to-oCean highway in the pres
ent plans Of the Cross State High
way Association are consumated. 1t
is the general sentiment among the
members of the organization who
are prominent In the road building
movement in Missouri that the pro-
posed route from the eastern to the
western coast of the United States
will come from St. Louis to Hanni-
bal and thence across the state
over the cross state highway which
has been greatly improved in the
last year.
The ocean-to-ocean highway
proposition from MisSouri's stand
point of view was given considera-
BILE discussion at yesterdays meet
ing of the executive committee and
officers of the association in Han
Dibal when the general expressions
from the officials of the road were
that the highway across the state of
Missouri from Hannibal to St.
Joseph, a distance of two hundred
and eight miles would be letter
improved within the next year in
order that it be made a part of the
road across the nation.
John L. Zeidler of St. Joseph
lone of the prominent men of the
state interested in good roads, sin
discussing the proposed oceanic
ocean highway said: There is not
"a question in my mind concerning
the great chance of the Hannibal
st. Joseph highway being converted
into a part of the road across the
United States. The splendid ad-
vantages the Missouri route offers
to automobile tourists places our
highway in such a position that it
practically cannot fail to be the
route through Missouri. If Indian
apolis is decided upon in preference
over Chicago to be the point where
the route turns to a more south
ward direction than it will run to
St. Louis. up the Mississippi river
to Hannibal and then branch onto
the Hannibal-St. Joseph Cross State
highway. On the other hand if
Chicago is chosen then the route
will lead south through Illinois and
into Hannibal, taking the Missouri
highway as in the other possible
case.
Il see a great future in the next
few years for road travel. 1t is be-
ginning to be plainly seen now.
The steamship companies report
that ocean travel by tourists has
decreased greatly in the last few
years and the main part of the de-
crease has been caused by Ameri-
can people purchasing automobiles
and spending their vacations trav-
cling over the United States. Last
year it is estimated that $4,000 ma
chimes travelled over the country
with tourists. This would mean
that 10000 people toured the Unit
ed States, averaging four persons
to every car. The bulk of travel
passed through Iowa on account of
the splendid conditions of the roads
in that state. Missouri can secure
the ocean-to-ocean road by better
Improvements on the Hannibal-St.
Joseph cross state highway as it
offers greater advantages than does
II owa."

the improvement of the road and
