O oTur Campaign Subscribers.
The Courier was sent you several months as a camoaign subscriber.
Many complaints were received that the papers were delayed in
the mails and did not reach subscribers promptly and in some instances
did not reach the subscribers at all.
Owing to these irregularities of the postal authorities we are
sending The Courier a few weeks after the election without any charge
to these campaign subscribers.
So, if you are getting The Courier and are not a subscriber, you
are not expected to pay for the few extra copies, which are sent you to
up forjthe mislaid or misplaced copies during the campaign.
You are requested to become an annual subscriber. If you will
send us your own subscription and th'ee others and 60 cents each we
will send The Courier for one year. This offer holds good until Dec.
JOth, 1908. It will be withdrawn after that date and will not be offered
again.
Stamps will be taken in payment for subscriptions,

'Youth's Companion.
The father of Alexander H. Ste
phens, the Vice-President of the
Confederate States, was an "old
field" teacher, and an of his school
room exercises, which tbe papili
called "learning manners" eTidenily
made a deep impression on little
Alexander, writes Lonis Pendleton
in his biography of the stateman.
The plan was no less admirable than
quaint.
It is related that about once a
month on a Friday afternoon, after
the spelling classes had got though
then tasks, the boys aid girls were
directed to take seats in rows facing
each other. Then the boy at
the head of his row would rise aud
walk toward the centre of the room
and the girl at the head of her row
would do likewise.
As they approached the boy would
bow aud the girl drap a courtesy,
tbe established feminine salutation
of those days, aud they would pass
on.
At other times they were taught
to stop and exchange terbsl saluta
ti n i end the usual formulas of polite
inquiry.
These exercises were varied by
meetings in an imaginary parlor, the
entrauce, introduction aud reccptio.i
of visitors, with practice in" com
monplace chat."
Then came the ceremony of intro
ductions. The parties in this case
would walk frurn opposite sides of
the room in pairs, and upon meeting,
after salutation of the two agreed
upon, would begin Making known to
each other the friend accompany
ing them, the bey sying, "Allow
me, Miss Mary, to present to you my
friend, Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith,
Miss Jones." After Miss Mary had
epokeu to Mr. Smith she would in
tarn introduce her friend.
These txercises, trivial the de
scription may seen, tbe Vice-l'reei-
jdent of the Confederacy says, "were
or great use to raw country buvs and
girls, removing their awkwurdiies-.
and cotmt tent shyness mid the
painful s-iise of being a: a disadv.-m
tage or the dreal ot appearing rid -culotis."

VINOL CORES CHRONIC COUGHS,
COLDS AND BRONCHITIS
After Other Remedies Fail
"I have been troubled with a chronic
cold and bronchitis for a long time
and have tried many remedies without
finding relief. Through tbe kind sug
gestion of a friend 1 tried Vinol, and
after taking four bottles, am, entirely
cured." A. H. Wilde, 733-Slb. Avenue,
Minneapolis, Minn.
S. McDonald, 147 W. Congress
St. Paul, Minn., writes: "I con
tracted a severe cold last winter and
thought I would never get rid of it. I
tried Vinol as a last resort, and It has
completely cured me."
Vinol combines two world-famed
tonics, tbe healing, medicinal proper
ties of cod liver oil and tonic Iron, de
liriously palatable and agreeable to the
weakest stomach. For this reason,
Vinol Is uaexcelled as a strength
builder for old people, delicate chil

"In giving i"ii'i:;'nins presents to
children," said M... Frederick ScliofT
the president of the National Mothers'
Congress, "our fust aim should he to
transport, to overjoy, to enrapture.
"I oneo knew a little girl who, 0n fire
with excitement, rushed In from her
lietlrooiii to see her presents on Christ
mas morning and afur one look burst
into loud sods of disappointment and
disgust.
"It was some such experience. I have
no doubt, that had befallen a little gM
friend of mine.
" 'Are .vmi going to give me nnvlliln-
for Christmas?' she said one dav'to her
aunt.
"'Yes. if you're good,' the mint re
plied. "The llttlo girl gazed nt her aunt with
wistful earnestness. Then she said:

A Christmas Hope.
We do not pretend to be prophets,

Is what wo hope: That some tlav the

weak; that some day fraternity will

some day love will begot Justice rath

the one day in the year tint such a
