Weak and Tired People We suppose all the women who take care of a family and do their own work are pretty tired come night, but we are specially sorry for those who don't feel rested in the morning. " Do you suppose your Vinol would do me any good ? " said a woman customer the other day. " I just drag round. My work seems an awful burden." " We think Vinol will help you," said our clerk. "Our folks at home use it. We have such faith in it that we will pay the money back if it doesn't help you." She took a bottle of Vinol home, and has since bought another bottle. Vinol was sold last year on the same guarantee. How many " re funds " were there, do you think ? Less than two per cent. In other words, Vinol did suc cessful work in ninety-eight cases out of one hundred. For two great classes, those who can't seem to gain strength and those who are tired at nothing, we say : " Try Vinol on our guar antee." For weak women, nursing moth ers, old people, and puny children we have found nothing to equal Vinol. W. D. ROWE, Marble and Granite Dealer, 41B and 417 Pattern Street, DANVILLE, YA. . I.

The monarch of merriment, tun and good cheer! Let all the hells chiming lUng out with a rhyming For Christmas, good Chrinimas, King Christmas Is here! Pile up the log fire Still higher and higher; He loves the bright bluze of a wide open heurlh. No shadow of sadness Must darken our gladness. For Christmas, blithe Christmas, now rules the broad earth. The stars are all w inking As If they were drinking Time out of ethereal champagne that he brings. The winds shout in chorus: "Long may he reign o'er us? Good Christmas, King Christmas, the greatest of kings!" "HAIL TO BUKO CHKIBTMAS!" O'er snow piles, high drifted. His throne is uplifted! His mantle Is pinned by the North Polar tar, And down the dim ages Saints, sinners and sages Cry, "Hall to King Christmas, who rules near ana ran His brows wreathed with holly, Pat. rosy and Jolly. H sways the proud scepter no monarch can boast O'er realms that are boundless And deuths that are soundless. For he. mighty Christmas, alone rules the roast! Then plump be the purses Of all whom these verses May reach, with their tidings of Jolly good cheer. Their presents he many, Their fun best of any, For Christmas comes once only once in a year. Aimee Carey In Philadelphia Ledger. THE CHRISTMAS BIRD. How to Prepare aa. Cook a Ooose, Old or Yobbc A goose Is the typical Christmas bird, although most families dine on turkey that day. and some like a pair of ducks and a ane roast of beef. The goose must be young, or what Is called a green goose, iellow and flexible feet are a sign of youtb. A goose Is dressed and truaaed In the same man ner as a turkey, but the skin should be thoroughly washed. Sage and onions are the traditional seasonings, and a very good, way to stuff a goose Is to boil and mash some white potatoes and season highly with onion Juice, sage, also salt and pepper. Dredge the outside lightly with salt and pepper and thickly with flour. Lay the goose on a rack in the baking pan and put a few jablespoonfula or water in the pan; baste often. Twenty minutes to tbe pound la the average time to allow for tbe baking. Garnish with blood oranges cut In sections on parsley, celery tips or any other green garnish. Hake a sauce from the content of the pan, thickening with flour. nd after straining add the giblets, which have been cooked nntll tender In wa ter and chopped coarsely. An old goose cannot be cooked satis factorily In this war. It will need to bo parboiled and then braised. Chica go Inter Ocean. The Moat Cosmos AUsaeat.

On Christmas eve tbe Inhabitants of eacb village assemble at tbe estufa (place of worship)' and elect officers for the ensuing year. Men and boys over six teen years ot age. If tbe latter bave proved their worthiness in toe cuase, select the candidates by a viva voce vote. Women are not permiitea m ine estufa. The officers elected are a gov ernor of tbe village, war chief, police official aod a council of Ave members aa a kind of cabinet for tbe govern or. Tbe governor, by tbe advice and consent of his cabinet, sets tbe time for the chase, when tbe entire village turns out; also deslgnntes' tbe time to Irrigate the little patches, tbe time to go to work and la ex officio adminis trator of Justice. Tbe war chief di rects the pasturing of stock and pre vents depredations upon private prop erty. Be Is tbe chief of police, con stable. Judge and Jury combined. Only serious cases of crime are referred to the governor and council. After the election of officers a grand dsnce takes place. Tbe braves are dressed in buckskin pantaloons, with a white cotton shirt The headdress Is of tbe skin of tbe deer or fox, tbe tall of tbe animal banging down tbe back as an ornament. Some of the headdresses of the officials are prettily decorated with bright feathers and sometimes eagle plumes. Tbelr faces are psinted in yellow and white stripes, relieved by red spots on the cueeas. They wear moccasins of leather. The braves form In a double line and march around the village, preceded by tbe officers and tbe cacique, or spiritual head. Each brave carries la his left hand a gourd half filled with pebbles aod nicked at the top. In bis right hand Is a convex stick, wblch be saws across the gourd and at tbe same time gives tbe gourd a shake or rattle. This excruciating noise is partly arownca by the general cbnut In which all Join. The song Is a monotone, as if tne singer were telling a story or reciting historical sSetcbes, aod suddenly It breaks out into a wild and loud blare, like the crash of tbe elements of dis cord In tbe grand opera of civilization. Tbe dance Is a bippetty bop, and the movement Is slow until one of these breaks Is sounded, and then It la deliri ous, like a war dance. This exercise contluues all night or as long as the braves can staud up. There ia a con siderable quantity of mescal drunk at these celebrations, and many of the braves fall by the wayside. The pale faces from tbe surrounding settlements attend tbe fiesta, and some bring along tbelr whisky aod gaming Implements. In the plaza, or central square, there are all kinds of games and booths for all kinds of drinks. Tbe Pueblo In dian Is not used to our whisky, and a very little soon Induces blm to gamble away his money, clothes and wife. Isleta, a few miles from Albuquer que, N. M., is tbe largest of tbe twenty Pueblo villages In the territory, aod the celebration bere Is always attended by a large crowd of whites. It lasts two or three days, during wbicb tbere are horse racing, cocking mains aud other sports. Tbe gaming tables are run night and day. One of the games Is cbusa, similar to the American roulette, with a hidden spring wblch tbe dealer touches. Aootber sport is el gallo the burying of a rooster in the sand, leav ing bis bead above tbe surface. Tbe best riders in tbe village are selected to compete. They form In a front line at a distance of 100 yards, and charge down upon tbe rooster. The rider, go ing at full run, leans from his saddle and grabs at tbe bead 01 tne rooster. It be catches tbe fowl, be Is applauded as the victor. He then races for bis home, with all tbe other horsemen aft er him. with the intention of depriv ing him of blB trophy. If tbey take the fowl from him before he reaches home, be la sborn of bis laurels, and In the scramble the unfortunate rooster la often torn to pieces. When a rider misses catching the rooster's bead, very one laughs, and if be falls from his horse he Is greeted with shouts of derision and epithets of "squaw man." There are services In the church each morning during tbe fiesta, with the usual game and sports la the after noon and dancing at night The serv ices are Romad Catholic all Pueblos being members of that church. Tbey, however, observe some of their own rights In secret the dance being part of their creed worship. Ckrlstasaa la Jerasaleaa. Christmas la held in greatest rever ence by the Christians of tbe east, and nowhere is its observance more solemn snd Imposing than in Bethlehem, the picturesque old town where Christ was bom. On Christmas eve the devout of Jerusalem gather together aod flock out of the city aod march to the Church of the Nativity In Bethlehem, th. oldest monument of Christian ar chitecture in the world. There mass ia celebrated, while armed Turkish sol diers stand on guard beakle tbe altar and around th. brilliant star, where Christ Is supposed to have lain in the banger and which gleams up from the pavement, the most conspicuous object In tha grotto. - Bt Louis Globe-Democrat ' Travoltas ia Dangerous ronatant motion iara the kidneys which are kept in place in the body by delicate attachments.
