AFTER THE GRIPPE Vinol Restored This Man's Strength "Several years ago I was attacked by a severe case of grippe, which left me With a hacking cough, soreness In my chest, and bronchitis. I took nearly every kind of cough syrup sold on the market, besides medicine given me by physicians. I received no permanent relief until my druggist asked me .to try Vlnol, and after taking three bottles I was entirely cured. I believe Vinol to he the greatest blessing ever offered to the public, as It does what Is claimed for it." R. E..R. Hicks, Maplesvllle, Ala. The reason Vlnol wires chronle coughs, colds and P"lr.:onary troubles Is because it contains tonic Iron and all the healing and body building ele ments of cod liver oil but no oil. Vinol is also unexcelled as a strength builder for old people, delicate children, weak and run-down persons, and after sickness. Stoke & Feicht Drug Company Reynoldsvllle, Pa. ' JIBEL IN DIVORCE.

The pretty neighbor clasped her hands In real distress. "Oh, don't!" she cried. "You don't really mean that! Think how long it's been in your family! Think how much care your mother and your grandmoth er and your great-grandmother spent on all these dear flowers!" : "Time I was selling It!" growled the man. "I'll get nn old factory, a bakery or something of that sort here!" "Oh. oh!" cried the pretty neighbor. "I mean It!" cried the inan. "I'll start right away." Wholly distressed, the pretty neigh bor, her hands tightly clinched, watch ed the man as he went down one of the paths toward a gay little summer house. ' She was standing near a wall, beside a little fountain, and all about her the garden was a bower of beauty. Vistas between the trees radiated from the spot where she stood. Birds sang In the trees. She could hardly realize that "WHAT ABB Ton OOINO TO DO?" TUB OIHL A8KKD. the big, hurrying city was Just on the other side of the wall. From the summer house she saw the man come out.

Mv-ket'of paint and a brush, wnen be reached the pretty neighbor he placed the board against the wall and with out a word took up the brush. "What are you going to do?" the girl asked somewhat tremulously. I "Paint," answered the man laconic ally. I With fascinated eyes the girl watch ed him as the letters grew under his ( brush. Across the top of the board he painted in big brutal letters the words. I "For Sale." . I The" pretty . neighbor caught her breath as the cruel sentence, flaring red, stared at her from the board. Un derneath these words the man worked Industriously for a little time. While he worked the girl gazed back at the garden with tear dimmed eyes. When he had finished the man gave a little sigh of satisfaction. The girl looked nt the sign again and gasped. Tor Sale," it rend. "This Garden, Suitable For a Factory. Apply Within to Martin Connor." "You you aren't going to nail that sign up, are you?" questioned the girl, perilously close to tenrs. ' ' "Sure!" ejaculated the mau. The man picked up the sign, holding It awkwardly, to save his clothes from paint, and, with the bucket and brush In the other band, again went toward the gay little summer house. He whis tled as he went, but the girl, who fol lowed, with difficulty stifled her sobs. At the summer house the man de posited bis painting utensils and se cured hammer and nails. Still whis tling, he led the way through a se cluded little iron gate to the street. Once outside, the man carefully nail ed the sign to the wall. When the work was finished he stepped back a bit to admire It. The girl, who had watched the proceedings, cried out at this. "You're peictly horrid!" she cried. "I hate you!" : Then the pretty neighbor, frantically dabbing at her eyes with an absurd lit tle handkerchief, ran across the street to her own home. ' s When the pretty neighbor awoke the next morning she could not think at first what sorrow was near her. Then It came to ber in a Jump. The garden was to be sold! She shuddered as she thought of the heartless sign and de cided that she would never, never look at It again. A moment later she was at the win dow, peering out at the garden wall opposite. Her heart gave a little bound as the blank face of the wall met her gaze. The sign was gone. It was a very merry pretty neigh bor that balled Martin shortly after. "Ho," cried the pretty neighbor, bold ly walking through the little Iron gate into the garden "ho, I knew you didn't mean to sell your garden! You thought you'd scare me Into loving youl" The man, who had beeu weeding, looked up at ber. He wore an old broad brimmed straw hat that In some undeflnnble way made him seem even more strikingly handsome than ever. "You're wrong," he declared slowly. "It's sold!" "What!" cried the pretty neighbor In consternation. "Yes," replied the man. , i "And some one's going to put up a horrid, grimy factory here?" walled the pretty neighbor, i "Perhaps," said the man listlessly. "I'm glad you canie over." he went on. "I was afraid I'd have to go with out saying good by to you." "Goodby?" asked the girl, her face a picture of surprise and dismay. , "Yes," the man went on, "I'm going away. My train leaves at noon. You may never see me again." . "Why why are you going?" stam mered the pretty nelghlior very woe fully. The man looked up at her quickly. "There's nothing for me to stay here for," he replied without animation, evidently not finding what he hoped In the girl's face. "I'm sorry," sold the girl finally. - She extended ber hand. In silence he shook It Slowly she went toward the gate. When she was almost there the man called to ber. ! "I'm a brute," he declared contritely, "for letting yon tblnk for a minute that I'd ever really let a factory be erected here. Since you love the gar den so you've a right to know that the man who has bought it is your father. He will not disturb it for some time not for the present at least." "Oh!" cried the girl. For a moment her face was radiant, then suddenly it went sad again. "Wouldn't you won't you come back some time and visit my father's gar den?" she asked. . "No, I'll not come back," the man replied.-,, "It It would hurt too much. Goodby," i "Goodby," repeated the girl and slowly went through the little Iron gate, across the street to her home, i Several times during -the . next hour she looked at the clock and Involunta rily sighed. The morning was going very fast, it seemed. t. Faster and fast er the time flew on toward noon. Pres ently it was 10:30, then 10:45 and then 11 o'clock. ,. When the ' morning reached this point the pretty neighbor was sudden ly galvanised into action.' ' - x ' ; "Good gracious I" she cried, jumping from the chair where she bad been en deavoring to read a book. "Good gra cious, he may be gone, and I haven't fonnd out where he Is going!" - Without more ado the nrettv neigh bor raced out of the bouse and across the street to the little Iron gate. The gate was locked! WUdly she tore . around the wall to the great front gate. Through this she ran np the , sbady, curving path to the big bouse, I Suddenly, as at high speed she bore round a particularly sharp curve, sbe , pli'mneil.tlzht iota the anus, at the man. The latter, when he sow tnat It was the pretty neighbor, dropped the suit case he had been carrying and drew her closely to hlra. "Pear, dear sweetheart," he cried, "I simply can't leave you! I can't do It!" He hugged ber so tightly that she fairly gasped for breath. However, the pretty neighbor had enough breath left to gasp a reply a very faint reply. "Don't go." sbe said, burrowing ber bead into bis ciyit. "Don't go. It's not your garden I want.. It's not your gar den I'm In love with. It's you!" Misplaced Sympathy, A sympathetic Frcu. luimn unluckily bought an tiliunnac Hint gave the dutcs of the world's chief events. From that day on he lived a life of mourning. Thus on Afirll 30 he had crape on his hat. "Have you Inst a relative?" u friend asked. "Not exactly," said he. "But today is a sad anniversary for the French people. On April 3d. 1.121, the Chevalier Bayard died." On May i! he had crape on again. "Still mourn ing Bayard?" said the friend. "No," liald he, "but don't you remember that on May 2 a great and charming poet, Alfred de Mussct, breathed his last?" On the 0th of tho same month, "Whom nre you mourning for now?" "For an honest mnn, Genernl Cavlagnac." On the 30th, crying terribly, he said: "Ah. Joan of Arc! On this date. In 1431, a handful of Englishmen and a miser able bishop put the gallant maid to death." On July 13 he took a bath In memory of the nssnssliinllon of Marat. On the 10th Beranger's death gave him a fatal shock. On the ISth. having rend of Napoleon's departure to St. Helena, , ho felt better, but on the lid the bombardment dt Dieppe by the English, In 102)4. confined him ugal.i to his bed. ne was taken with a fever and died on the 22d, muttering, "In n month the massacre of St Bartholo mew!"

Here is a little story of an English man In Wales: "On the comparative qualities of the English and Welsh tongues let me tell of the Welshman who saluted me in the Welshv I was compelled to confess Ignorance. 'Ah.' he said, turning fluently enough to English, 'you should learn the Welsh! My wife was Itngllsh, and She can speak conversations now quite well.' "I acknowledged my shortcomings and admitted thr.t 1 had always under stood the Welsh to be a remarkably eloquent tongue. 'Yes, yes, It iss so,' snld the nntlve. 'In Welsh a mnn can express exactly what he means. As for the English, 1 cnll It not a language at.all only a dialect. " 'You haf noted that an Englishman or a forelguer In speaking his language waves his hands and arms about to help out the meaning of the words, but a Welshman who can speak Welsh well he hass no need to move his hands. In the Welsh he can sny al that he means.' "Chicago News. Fife Wheat.

The Pennsylvania Railroad now has in operation on its lines east of Pittsburgh over two hundred steel passenger coaches, dining cars, baggage cars, and mail cars of the new all-steel type. - The solid steel framework of these cars, designed to resist shock and minimize the dangers of collisions, is fur ther strengthened by the steel sheathing enclosing the body of the car: In fact, everything about the coach is steel, save the window frames, the cushions of the seats and the flooring. Such little, woodwork as enters into the make-up of the coach, the plush with which the car seats are cov ered and the hair with which they are stuffed is treated to a fire-proofing process, whilst the floors are cement, thus rendering the coach at Jonce practically indestructible and thoroughly fireproof. It is built like a battleship. The new coach is longer than the standard car general ly in use on the railroads2inthiscountry, and has a com fortable seating capacity of sixty to ninety people accord ing ta the style of the coach. ' . -. The unusual weight of the coaches give to them a solidity that greatly increases the comfort of the passen ger. - ;. , The seats are adjusted to a more convenient space and angle, the coaches, are all lighted with electricity and amply ventilated in winter as well as summer by new and thoroughly tested methods. The interior finish of the coach is plain though pleasing to the eye. The absence of ornamentation enhances the idea of strength and at the same time assures absolute cleanliness and thorough sanitation.' ' Steel cars are now in use on the principal trains be - tween New York, Philadelphia, Washington and on. the Main Line between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. The number of cars isbeingJconstantly increased as the finished productjeomes from the shops. ThePennsylvania Railroad's equipment is recognized as the Standard of America.
