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 we'll, 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: "T was in badly
rundown condition for several weeks,
but two bottles of Vinol put me on
my feet again and made me strong
and well. Vinol has done me more
good than all the other medicine !
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-builoer. and wa

/, of satisfaction. You get your money

Wounded Negro Spit Out Ball.

Sumter, Jan. lid. Richard
son, colored, performed a feat yester-
day which is seldom seen save in side
shows and at vaudeville perform
ances. Richardson was shot with a
pistol while he and another negro
were examining 1t, and a minute
later he calmly spit out the bullet
and walked off to have a doctor ex-
anime and dress the wound which
was inflicted. The ball entered just
below the nostril and was stopped
against the roof OF his mouth. DR..
Birnie, who attended him, stated
that he would probably suffer no seri-
GUS effects from the wound. The
shooting was said to have been acci-
dental.

Killed by Man He Had Whipped.

Valdosta, Ca, Jan. 16.-One man
was killed and another seriously
wounded in fight at a lumber mill
at Council, Ca, to-day. James Cop
per and James Fielder engaged in an
alteration in which they came to
blows. Fielder used brass knucks,
and thinking he had vanquished his
opponent, turned to walk away, when
Copper drew pistol and fired two
shots, the second passing through
Felder's heart.
Millwright Robinson, whose cheek
was grazed by the first shot, thought
he was being attacked, and, seizing
his gun, shot Copper through the
jaws. Copper is now in Jail at HON.
erville. The cause Of the quarrel is
not known.

Something About Watch Signs.

Nearly all the watch signs, proba-
bly, 80 out Of 100, have their hands
set at S.18, but comparatively few
people know why this is. 1t is no
accident. w. X. Washburn, of New
York, was painting sign for a
jeweler of that city when the news
of the assassination Of Abraham Lin
coin, April IA, 1865, was received in
New York, and the jeweler ordered
the painter to paint upon the dial the
exact time when the fatal shot was
fired, namely SIS, and SO It has con-
tinued ever since. Whenever you see
sign after this recall to yourself
that 1t points to the fatal moment.

A Stamp Story.

Six years ago little newspaper on
the edge of Florida swamp pub
1ished brief notice that the govern
ment would redeem at one-fourth
their face value all cancelled post
age stamps returned to the post Office
department at Washington
A prominent post Office officer tells
of the widespread effect:
"How people could credit such a
statement is a mystery. But they did
and the notice was widely copied.
Eventually the story was syndicated
through hundreds Of country news
papers, and one department Is still
suffering from the results.
Letters of inquiry and express
packages Of old stamps overwhelmed
the office at Washington, until we
finally had to employ five or six ex-
ira clerks to tell the would-be re-
deemers the truth Of the little tale.
1t was a rather disagreeable job, too.
Some Of the letters were pathetic,
and | hate to think Of the number of
people who were disappointed, all be-
cause some crack-brain editor pub
lished that idiotic notice.
Even now, and it is at least six
years since the notice came out, we
receive letters and stamps at least
every week from some sequestered
spot that has just heard the news"

Pain of Wounds.

There is a great deal of misappre-
hension as to the intensity of the pain
caused by the entrance into the hui
man body of various objects. Many
persons fancy that If man is shot at
all he must therefore suffer intensely.
The reverse Is true. A, slight wound,
a mere abrasion of the skin, is some
times far more painful than wound
caused by the entrance of bullet di-
rectly into the muscles or even into
a bone. The skin is filled with nerves
and when any of them are torn by
the ball the pain is extreme. If the
bullet plunges directly through the
skin into the body the only nerves
disturbed are those in the compare
lively small space the bullet strikes
Since there are few nerves in the
muscles, the nerves of the skin con-
vey the sensation of pain to the brain.
In the same way the greater portion
of the pain experienced in the ampu-
tation of an arm or leg is occasioned
when the skin is cut, and the subse-
quent cutting of the muscles and the
saving of the bone, in which all the
pain is popularity supposed to be cen
tered, amount to little in comparison.

The Clocks We Wear.

The three marks on the back OF
glove and the clocks on the stocking
are due practically to the same cir
cumstance. The glove marks CORE
spond to the fourchette pieces be-
tween the fingers. and in other days
these pieces were continued along the
back Of the hand, braid being used to
conceal the seams. A somewhat sim
liar origin is assigned to the orna-
mental clock on the stockings. In the
days when stockings were made of
cloth, the seams occurred where the
clocks do now, the ornamentation then
being used to conceal the seams. The
useless little bow in the leather band
lining a mans hat is the survival of
the time when hat was made by ta-
king a piece of leather, boring two
holes through 1t and drawing it up
with a piece of string.-Harper'

HELPLESS IN SNAKES COILS

reptiles had entwined themselves

dozen in number, measured from four
to six feet in length.
Mr.. Ensor, after vainly endeavoring
to work his arms and feet loose, had
the presence of mind to roll down
hill into a fire he had built to cook
his breakfast. His clothes caught fire
and the snakes, scorched and sizzling,
untwined from his body and made for
the old log. Mr.. Ensor ran to the
stream and threw himself into the wa

ULSTER, GARDEN OF IRELAND
Writer Pays High Tribute to the
Seoteh-Irlsh Who Have Made the
Country What It Is.

1t would not surprise me in the least
If the late ]. P. Morgan had the blood
of the Ulster-Scot In his veins, as your
correspondent hints at, says the writer
of a letter to the editor Of the New
York Tribune. The Scotch-Irish were
even more Scottish than the Scotch
themselves-stern, shrewd, energetic
and thoroughly reliable.
When James vi. of Scotland-James
I. of England-offered facilities for the
settlement of Ulster, thousands Of
Scots ayailed themselves OF the
chance, and by their energy helped to
transform that district into a garden
of ireland.
Belfast, one of the most peaceful
and prosperous cities in the world, Is
nothing more or less than a second
Glasgow.
To Scotland, Indirectly, to Ulster d.
rectly, we are indebted for such men
as Andrew Jackson, James X. Polk.
James Buchanan, John c. Calhoun,
Chester A. Arthur, T. A. Hendricks,
Horace Greeley, c. D. McCutcheon,
James G. Blaine, Charles Foster, Sam
uel H. Grey and many others who
helped to make the United States
what she is today.
Robert Fulton, though an lrishman
of Scottish descent-his father being
forced out of Scotland in Cromwells
scarcely an Ulster-Scot. But,
then, If 1t were not for the Livingston
family, who were descended from the
kings, mobiles and lords Of Scotland,
Fulton could never have accomplished
what he did.
