Vinol Is tfie only Cod Liver Oil that cMIdren will take and -which is easily assimi lated by their delicate digestive organs, it builds up firm, healthy flesh, and makes little limbs round and plump. Delicate chil dren thrive on it and lo ve to take it. The body-building and st rengthening properties of Cod Liver Oil but no oil combined with peptonate oi iron, makes Vinol the ideal tonic for delicate children. It tastes good and always does good. GROWING CHILDREN 1 play bard and work hard. Tney use up an enormous amount of energy and vitality that needs ?eplacing. Give them Vinol reg ularly. It keeps them healthy, builds strong bones, sound flesh sad muscle and pure rich blood. DELICATE GIRLS "My 9 year old daughter was weak, pale, and had no appe tite. I gave her Vinol, and she began to thrive at once. She gained rapidly in weight, color and strength." MRS. VV. H. GILMORE, Durand, Mich. VINOL QUICKLY CURES A YOUR MONEY BACK IF VINOL FAILS TO HELP YOU Hamilton Drug Co., Oxford, N. C. Yoa Can get Vinol at the Leading Drug Stores in every Town and City in this State. Does Yo' Handle Meat. This is something that really hap pened: The other day was standing in the nrimshon. scratching his head a - - in perplexity over some of the prob lems that are associated with printers ink. Presently, a very dark, very po lite colored party came in with cap in hand. "Boss, kin I git a few ole papers dat ain't no count ter patch up de walls wid."' As soon as the papers were received the visitor started for the door but, suddenly thinking of something, turn ed around and asked in an apologetic voice: ''Does 3-0' han'le meat?" Then the thoughtful one slyly turn ed around to see if anybody was look ing. The foreman and the devil ap parently had not heard anything, but the look in their eyes were suspicious to say the least.

Uncle Sam is an exceedingly nice old party. It was very good of him to fix us up such a nice post-office a few years, ago. All that nice hard wood, those little portholes for the clerks to peep through, and that spac ious passagewaj' in which the Oxford citizens can promenade up and down while the mail is being put up is fine. And again,the old man was more than good when he appropriated for a lot upon which to build a still more at tractive home. He certainly was good, but he most assuredly did sting us and sting us bad when he put in those pestiferous, cantankerous, bad-language-breeding, and cranky combi nation boxes that are either open to anybody that trys to open them, or on the other hand, refuse to open at all. If they are not wanted open, any small shaver can do the trick; but if the ren tor is in a hurry and has important mail, then is when the everlasting thing refuses to answer to the magic figures. We do greatly hope that Uncle Sam, when he gets his own home ready, will take the old boxes and give them to some town we don't like, and give us boxes that require the old-fashioned key. preparation of SICKLY CHILDREN cannot digest ordinary Cod Liver Oil or Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil on account oi their greasy na ture and nasty taste. It upsets their delicate little stomachs. Vinol contains all the medicinal value they do and tastes good besides. " MY TWO CHILDREN, who were puny and ailing, rap idly gained flesh and strength when I began to give themVinol. I proved that Vinol is a splendid tonic for delicate children." MRS. C. ALLEN, New Bedford, Mass. COLD AND STOPS A COUGH Three Royal Toasts. ! The "Greviile Memoirs" tells this . story of Kin.s;- William IV. of England j rind liae Duke of Cumberland, his brother: "During dinner loud voices were heard, which soon became more vehement. Both brothers had drunk more than usual, and the duke had lost his temper and his head. Then for the first time King William sus pected the idea which from that time was never out of Duke Ernest's mind that he ought to be the next king of England should no male children sur vive his brother, William IV. The duke, rising, said: 'Call In the suit. I am proposing a toast. The king's health; God save the king.' The suit came in and drank it. Then the duke said, 'May I also, sir, propose the next toast?' 'Name it, your grace,' replied the king. 'The king's heir,' proudly said the duke, 'and God bless him!' "A dead silence followed. Then the king, collecting all his energies and wits, stood . up and called out, 'T tic king's heir: Cod bless her!' Then, throwing the glass over his shoulder, he turned to his brother and exclaimed. 'My crown came with a lass, and ray crown will go to a lass!' Every one noticed that the duke did not drink the toast. He left the room abruptly." A Kind Hearted Waiter. A surprising experience was that of a lady who received a bit of advice on table etiquette. She is sufficiently free from vanity to tell the story herself. She says: I know that I am not a person o' impressive appearance. I am inclined to be short and stout and to dress plainly. Still, I had hoped that I had an air of acquaintance with polite so ciety.. But now I shall be more mod est than ever in my idea of the impres sion I make upon strangers. At my first meal at the hotel where I passed last summer I was pleased with the face of my waiter. It was radiant with kindliness and good na ture. I began my dinner with soup and fish. As the waiter set them in front of me he glanced at the person: of fashionable appearance who were my neighbors at table. His kind heart was suddenly struck with the fear that I might make an unfortunate impres sion on them. He bent down and whispered in my ear: "Eat your soup first." Grooming. Anciently man thought more highly of his horse than of his womenkind. But woman, as it chanced, was crafty. "Why does he esteem his horse be yond his wife?" she asked herself and resolutely faced the task of finding out. Her first answer was: "The horse will carry a heavier load." Her next: "The horse doesn't talk back at him." But neither of these, somehow, im pressed her as being correct. "Most likely," she declared at length, "it's in the grooming. Well, I'll just be wrell groomed myself and see." It was a lucky guess, and from that time forward woman's position rose relatively until in our day the horse has scarcely a look in even at the horse shpw. Puck. Her Darling's Desire. "My darling." said a fond mother, who believed in appealing to children'? tender feelings instead of punishiir.: them, "if you are so naughty you wiil grieve mamma so that she will get ill and have to lie in bed in a dark room and take nasty medicine, and then she may die and have to be taken away out to the cemetery and be buried, and you" The child had become more solemn, but an angelic smile overspread his face at his mother's last words.and, throwing his arms about her neck, he exclaimed: "Oh, mamma, and may I sit beside the coachman?" London Queen. The Age of .Man. It is generally admitted by scientists that men lived on the earth contempo raneously with the big nosed rhinoc eros, which became ext-t about the beginning of the glacial period. That period, so high an authority -as the late John Fiske assures us, probably began not less than 240,000 years ago and came to an end SO, 000 years ago. How long man existed on the earth prior to the glacial period we have no means of knowing. New York American. Puzzled. Mrs. Gaswell Who is that man who looked at you as if he knew you? Mrs. Highsome He is a man who has done some professional work for me once or twice. He's a chiropodist. Mrs. Gaswell Chiropodist? Oh, yes; I've heard of them. They don't believe in foreordination, do they? Chicago Trib une. To What Base Uses, Etc. One of our State street brokers re ceived a note from a customer bear ing the cryptic message, "Richard III., act 1, line 13S." Turning to the pas sage he read, "Now, by St. Paul!" and next moment he had given the order. Boston Transcript. Useless Prayers. An earnest young preacher in a re mote country village concluded a long and comprehensive supplication by say ing, "And now let us pray for those who are dwelling in the uninhabited portions of the earth." Willing He Should Know. A certain boastful man asserts that ne knows how to play on two cornet at once, and the neighbors say thai they do not object to his knowing bow. but that he had better not try to do.it The man who is always trying tc find out what people say of him is sel dom happy. Chicago Record-Herald. y (A fin W His Conundrum. "What is the difference," asked the inan with the erratic eyebrows, "be tween a tall, stout man whose wife has purchased for him a pale pink smoking jacket with yellow facings and a pocket that is utterly out of con venient reach at a dry goods store late in the afternoon of the day before Christmas, after having put off the pur chase for two weeks because she had to attend half a dozen bridge parties, and a large, jovial Russian noblem:ii; who has been convinced of the broth erhood of man and who is devoting himself to the laudable work of con verting the people on his estates?" "How's that?" asked the man with the dilatory mustache. The man with the erratic eyebrow: repeated the query, and the other man of course, refused to answer, sayinr that if he replied to hypothetical ques tions he must demand an expert's fee. "Oh. well," explained the man wit'; the erratiV eyebrows, "it is simi; enough. One pays for the present an the other prays for the peasant." Ch! cago Post. A Martyr to the Fox. A fox can climb almost as well as cat and will often be found lying i: trees and on the top of ivy covered walls. High walls covered with iv often surround private residences i:'. hunting districts. One of these d. main walls caused the tragic death of a hound in the south of Ireland a few years ago. 'There was a belt of tree:? with thiekish undergrowth close up to the wall, and the hounds were running a tired fox hard through this belt Suddenly the cry ceased; there were the unmistakable growling and worry ing which proclaim a kill. The mas ter jumped off his horse and pushed his way through th'e undergrowth. Or getting to the pack, instead of findinr a" dead fox he saw to his horror one of the best hounds torn to pieces. I was easy to understand what had hai pened. The fox had got over the wall by the help of some ivy, and the hound had tried to jump over after him, but. falling back among the others, had been killed before they realized their mistake. London Standard. The End of the Cha6e. Two ladies, friends of the superin tendent, were visiting a hospital for the insane. During the noon meal the superintendent remarked that the door of the violent ward was being repaired and that the guards would have to be unusually watchful until it was fin ished. After dinner the ladies went for a stroll down the beautiful lane leading up to the main building. Sud denly they heard footsteps as of some one running behind them and were horrified on looking around to see a di sheveled, wild eyed man pursuing them. One of the women quietly stepped to the side of the road. The other, screaming at the top of her voice, ran down the road with the ma niac close upon her heels. At last, spent with running and gasping with fright, crouching in anticipation of the blow which she was expecting, sh waited her fate. The man, panting anc grinning, tapped her lightly on th shoulder and said: "Tag! You're it." Cleveland Leader Mohammedan Serenity. A Mohammedan people enjoy on great advantage over all others thej never suffer from the anticipation o.r that which is to come, and, as a natu ral result, they can always enjoy the present, although only a few hour: may separate them from disaster or even from death. Their implicit be lief in an ordained future imparts r dignified repose and outward calm te all their actions. Thus, in spite of the trials and troubles which threatencc the state during my stay at Fez, smooth surface of unchangeable sereiv ity veiled the inner thoughts of ever individual, from the sultan to the no gro at his gates.
