RESTORED TO HEALTH BY VINOL
"Last January I was all run
down in health and so weak. that
I was unable to attend to my
household duties. I was very
much discouraged with my con
dition, as I was receiving n©
benefit whatever from the medi
cine I had taken. Finilly on the
|€commendation of my druggist
1 decided to try the cod liver and
iron preparation, Vinol. In a
shore time I felt better, and af
ter, taking five bottles my health
was fully restored. I havo su *•
ferel from stomach trouble for
years, but since taking Vinol
this trouble has entirely disap
peared, and I now eat better,
than I haveboen for a long time.
Vinol certainly worked wonders
in my case, and I heartily recom
mend it to any one in need of
such medicine." Mrs. Harvey

Ths Spectral Horseman That Visit*
Wyooiiar Hall.
This gboet story is contributed by a
correspondent of an English magazine:
"Wyeollar Hall, near Colne, was long
the seat of the Cunllffes of Bllltngtco.
They were noted persons In their tine,
but evil days came, and their ancestral
estates passed out of their hands. In
the days of the commonwealth their
loyalty cost them dear, and ultimately
they retired to Wyeollar with a rem
nant only of their once extensive prop
erty. About 1819 the last of the fami
ly passed away, and the hall Is now a
mass of ruins. Little but the antique
fireplace remains entire, and even the
room alluded to In the following
legend cannot now be Identified. Tra
dition says that once every year a
specter horseman visits Wyeollar Hall.
He Is attired In the costume of the
early Btuart period, and the trappings
of his horss are of a most uncouth de
scription.
"On the evening of his visit the
weather Is always wild and tempestu
ous. There Is no moon to light the
lonely roads, the residents of the
district do' not venture out of their
cottages. When the wind bowls loud
est the horseman can be beard dash
ing up the road at full speed, and. aft
er crossing the narrow bridge, be sud
denly stops at the door of the ball.
The rider then, dismounts and makes
his way up the broad oaken stairs info
one of the rooms of the house. Dread
ful screams, as from a woman, are
then beard, which soon subside into
groans. The horseman then makes his
appearance at the door, at once mounts
his steed and gallops off.
"His body can be seen through by
those who may chance to be present;
bis horse appears to be wild with rage,
and its nostrils stream with fire. The*
tradition is that one of the Cunliffes
murdered bis wife in that room
that the specter horseman is the ghost I
of the murderer, who Is doomed to pay
an annual vlait te the home of biff ]
'victim. She is said to have predicted :
the extinction of the family, which,
according to the story, has been liter
ally fulfilled."
THE CRITICS.
These Observers Wore Wholly Per
sensi In Their Judgments.
"Ths critical faculty Is rare." said
an editor and critic at a Philadelphia \
art club, tit must be Impersonal. But
most of incline to be wholly per
eona} our criticism. The fact was
brought home te me at one of the exhi
bitions at the Academy of Fine Arts.
"Passing froir ploture to picture. I'
overheard mau> .riticlsms. Thus a
lady in a rich gown said:
* 'What' a superb portrait of a young
glftl .. It should certainly win the Car
□ejgie prise. It is easy to see that the
gown waa made by Paquin.'
"A fat, red nesed man la a for lined
overcoat halted before a picture enti
tled The Luncheon.'
•"This still life,' be exaialupd, is
the most admirable I have ever seen.
Terrapin, canvasback. champagne, lob-,
ster./even Perigord pie—ah, what a
genius.'
" 'ln this historical painting,' I beard
an antiquary say. 'the costumes are ac
curate, in every detail. The painter is a
second Raphael.'
"That horse there,' said a young
polo pihyer, is exactly like my Poda
sokus. It's the best picture in the ex
hibition.'
"An 'athlete Uttered a cry of delight
before i daub called The Gladiator.'
H 'WhAt shoulders! What arms!* hs
said. 'I bet anything the jury gives
this painting the highest award.'
"And Kalf the throng, departing, said:
M The picture In the last room Is the
best Nci, we didnt see it—couldn't get
to it, in fact—but it draws far and
away tbd, biggest crowd.'"
■ *; —;
Mole SujHrstitlens.
According to tradition, if you hsve s
mole on ydfcr ehln 'sou may expeet to
be wealthy, while if you have it un
der your arm It premises you wealth
and honor as well. A mole on the
ankle indicates courage. On the left
temple a mole indicates that you will
find friends" among the great ones of
the earth, tint If it be placed on the
right temple" It warns you of coming
distress. A mole on a man's knee
means that he .may expect to marry a
rich woman. A mole on the neck
promises wealth! If you have a mole
on your nose you are going to be a
great traveler. A mole on the throat
Indicates health and wealth.
•y s
Man Proposes; God Disposes.
"If you cajvjiot oi* the ocean,
sail among: the swiftest
fleet,
Rocking: on the highest billows,
laughing at the storms you
meet
You can go among the sailors
anchored yet within bay.
You can lend a hand to help them
as they launch tbeir boat
away."
The Coopers will plead self
defense in the Carmack matter.
As we suspected and predicted.
It's characteristic of the type.
Mr. Roosevelt says it's a mat
ter of indifference to him who
owns the Outlook, and candor
compels the statement
didn't suppose otherwise.
