GIRL MADE bad MISTAKE

From the Womans Home Companion.
"A girl brought to a busy woman of
considerable influence the sort of letter
none of us can ignore. This woman,
partner and practical worker in sue
cessful business. had at the moment no
opo ming, nor did she happen to know oil
one In other Offices But she realized that
openings appear on the business horizon
without much warning. She made out
a list of personal and business aceluaint-
anees who might make use of such .erN-
ices as the newcomer offered, and tod
the girl to call on each Of these per-
sons.
Tell them Mrs. Robbins sent you.
was her final order.
"She did not consider 1t necessary to
inform the girl that in each case she
would telephone the parties named, aad
advise them of the girls coming.
8 i hope you will be fortunate. she said
in dismissing her caller Let me hear
from you. and if l hear of any opening
not on this list, 1 will notify you AT
once
.'She is the type OF woman who does not
talk nor sympathize nor make unthinkng
promises. She gets results.
THE girl did not understand this. She
went back to her boarding place, railing
against the ineffectiveness of ntroduc-
tions and the caDousness of city women
who merely pass you on from one to an
other, to get rid of you. So in half
hearted way she followed up just about
hall the names on the list.
"Finally one evening the busy woman
to whom she had carried her original let
ter of introduction called her on the
phone.
Did you get chance at that opening
in the accounting department OF the Mor
gan Hardware company -
What openingT answered the girl
blankly. The Morgan Hardware >om-
pany was among the names on the list
which she had not followed up. She tried
to think up an effective excuse, but only
succeeded in faltering, Why, l didn't go
there. / thought If you heard of any
thing you would let me know at once
j" And | thought exclaimed the busy
woman to friends later, that if a girl
really wanted position she would follow
up every suggestion; but Il seems that
the girl armed with a letter of introduce
ton thinks that 1t commands a position

WHEN you AND l ARE OLD

BY William Butler Yeats
When you are old and gray and full of
sleep
And, nodding by the fire. take down this
book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft
look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows
deep;
How many loved your moments of glad
grace, sff
And loved your beauty with love false
or true;
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in
you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing
face;
And bending down beside the glowing
bars,
Murmur a little sadly, how love ed
Ana paced upon the mountains over
head,
And hid his face amid crowd OF stars.

colombia's congress has decided to sue

money is claimed as damages for the

IS to be brought in a United States court.
The Panama railroad had agreed TO pay
the Colombia government s250,0o0 a year
IN gold. The contract was executed in
the year 1867, and the Coiombians figure
that but for the untimely Independence Of
Panama their government would have re-
eeived this tax for IS years. This makes
a total of s14,5OO,OOO. but including the
interest upon the deferred payments, the
claim would round up to slightly more
than $20,0O00OO gold. 1t does not appear

HOW TO RESIST
Chronic Coughs and Colds.

Chronic Coughs and Colds.
Strong, vigorous men and women
hardly ever catch cold; it's only when
the system is run down and vitality
low that colds and coughs get a foot
hold.
Now isn't 1t reasonable that the
right way to cure cough is to build
up your strength again?
Mrs. Olivia Parham, of East Dur
ham, N. c.. says: 81 took Vinol for a
chronic cough which had lasted two
years, and the cough not only disap-
peared. but it built up my strength
as we'll"
The reason Vinol is so effcacious in
such cases is because it contains in a
delicious concentrated form all the
medicinal curative elements of cod
liver oil, with tonic, bodybuilding
Iron added.
Chronic coughs and colds yield to
Vlnol because it builds up the weak
ened, rundown system.
You can get your money back any
