"T
HE youngest leafllng lady on the
stage."
So read the lithographs , of the
largnrlta Fischer Company, which are
hung on every fence In Oregxm City to
compete for public attention -with the
xncwlln-r infants -who -want castorla and
the able-bodied bull -whose connection

"On tour In her repertoire of famous
plays." continued the lithograph I was
Staring at. Printed In muddy purples
Wid faded reds the advertising was re
fieemed only by the picture of a pretty
flri, not more than IS years of age, evl
flently the "youngest leading lady on the
tage."
"Three nights at Shlvely's Opera-House
fct popular prices," screamed the explana
tory poster, and in various other spots on
the fence were alluring admonitions not
lo miss this golden opportunity to see the
.greatest actress of modern times.
Shamefacedly I reflected that I did not
know Margarita Fischer. That she seemed
to bo attaining fame apeared to be an
altogether sufficient reason for the recti
fying of this social omission, and after
Sue inquiry I stumbled up the dark and
unclean staircases of the Electric Hotel
to a room wherein abode the manager of
the showt Very suspicious was this man
ager. "You want to roast tho show," he an
nounced candidly. "Oregon City's one of
the biggest towns we play in, and we
ion't want to be roasted."
Surely here was one of those theatrical
companies whose vicissitudes have been
the salvation of many an unfecund hum
orist, one of those traveling aggregation
known as "barnstormers" because they
play In hamlets where there is no public
ball, and so have to separate the inhabi
tants from their money by appearing In
a barn. Rarely does the urban dweller
sneet the storied "barnstormers" face to
lace, and suspecting that the pictures In
the comic papers might be inaccurate, I
began to search for information.
"Do you play anything but the water
tank stops?" I asked and then gasped for
CHANGE VIEWS ON WOMAN WITH PAST
Members of Chicago "Woman's Club Shunned Her Last Week ; Now They Would Forgive Her
i
Chicago Inter-Ocean.
The -woman reformer must be an Iconoclast,
. radical, a fanatic, a worker, a meddler,
something of a fool and a good deal of an
angel, a stayer, obstinate, reasonable, ua
Eolflsh. single-minded, practical, visionary,
persuasive, a student, a thinker, a lover,
cither possessing or able to influence money,
and having time "to burn."
This is a definition given by Mrs. Mary
21. Plummer at the Chicago Woman's Club
J-esterday. Mrs. Plummer spoke on
"Woman's Place in Reform," and other
women of the club discussed the same sub
ject, especially as to "Chicago reform"
-and its relation to Chicago women.
"The purity crusade now going on is
nly a city hall spasm," declared Miss
Jano Addams, reformer. "The work of this
crusade will die unless we women come
forward and make this reform general.
Who in Chicago Is better fitted to make
the investigations in regard to the women,
.to study their conditions, and to do It
thoroughly, than the women of the clubs?
"Men cannot carry on this work among
Jtho unfortunate women of the city with
out the women, and It Is only fair that

FORGER BAFFLES POLICE
60N OF WEALTHY MONTANA
MAN DEFRAUDS LOCAL FIRMS.
fWhile Detectives Are Searching for
Him He Cashes Worthless Paper
at Other Places.
T. W. Parker, son of Colonel Parker,
jn. wealthy stockman of Deer Lodge, Mont.,
s wanted here on the charge of forgery-'-Within
the past three days he has passed
worthless paper to the extent of $160, and
till baffles tho detectives in their efforts
Ho capture him. Even while the officers
tire on his track he manages to rid himself
of more of the forged checks.
The name "Wadhams & Kerr Bros." is
lElgned to all of the checks, and the forg
vexy is so perfect that had he drawn the
(checks on a bank with which the firm, did
dts business they would have surely passed
us genuine. Parker is acquainted with
-different people here who know his peo
jple, and have no hesitancy In assuring
business men that his checks are all right.
Since his trickery has come to light his
friends ara all lending the police every
possible assistance in locating him. His
victims up to date include: Portland Ho--tel,
5C5; William Cody, saloon-keeper, 101
(Sixth street, 505; Gerd Sc Dahe, 221 Grand
avenue, $30.
Parker came to Portland last Saturday
,nlght and stopped at the Portland Hotel.
,He was well dressed, and had every ap
pearance of being a man of note. One of
he first men he met was Tom McFadden,
2ioad bellman at the hotel. McFadden had
known him in Butte,kand knew that his
(people were well-to-do.
"I have a little check to cash," he ex
plained to McFadden, after they had ex
changed greetings. "Will you introduce
tme to the clerk?" McFadden readily as
isented, and assured the clerk that there
(could.be no danger in cashing a check vfor
such a man as Parker. This was Satur
day night, and he felt safe in the knowl
'edge that the check could not be offered
toT payment before Monday.
Sunday morning after he had had his
breakfast he started for a walk about the
city, and at Cody's saloon met an old
friend. Friends were his stock In trade,
-and he would not miss the chance.
"Introduce me to the proprietor," he
asked.
Again Parker heard words of praise both
I for himself and for his family, and pre
sented a "small" check to be paid. This
one was for 565, and he liberally purchased
,a drink with a part of his proceeds.
Monday morning the two checks were
(presented for payment. The forgery was.
acknowledged to be an excellent imita-
' tion, but the forger had been misinformed
as to the bank with which the firm did
business. His checks were drawn on the
First National Bank, and Wadhams &
Kerr Bros, had no deposit there.
The case was Immediately reported to
the police, and they commenced to search
for a man of his description. They sup
posed that he would leave the city at
once, but with rare nerve and daring he
remained In Portland and continued to sell
his worthless paper. Monday night while
the officers were trying in every way to
locate him ho slipped from cover on the
East Side and ventured Into Gerd &
Dane's, where he cashed a check for $30.
Tho police believe that he is still In the
city and In hiding. Word has been sent
to his family in Deer Lodge of the affair.
It Is thought by his friends here that his
father will send money to pay the value
of the checks If prosecution can be
stopped. -"
More Room for Wells Fargo & Co.
The growth of the city and consequent
increase of business of all kinds has
obliged Agent Sllelby, of the Wells-Fargo
Express Company, to lease additional
room. Tho employes of the company

fear I had Insulted the whole company.
'ISure we do," said the manager gen
ially "We played at Salem the other day;
Heppner Junction before that; Mlllvale,
Durkee Station, Pleasant Valley and Arl
ington. Next week we go to Golden
dale." Then he explained that as many of the
places were not on a railroad line, it
was necessary to ride In wagons over
much of their route.
"We carry nearly 20 people," he con
cluded, but he would not tell me what
actors in a barnstorming company were
paid a week.
"They do better than $5 and cakes," said
he with a triumphant Inflection, and 1
was reminded of the lady who bearded
Maurice Zlegfeldt In his den and asked
for a job as a chorus girl in the Anna
Held production.
"I can sing contralto or soprano," nald
the aspirant. ' "Have played soubrette
parts all over the country. "Was with a
Tom show as Eliza, am a good ingenuo,
comedienne or heavy woman, can do spe
cialties between the acts if desired, and
Zlegfeldt managed to stem the cata
logue. "How much do you want?" he In
quired. "Ive been gittln six and cakes," gur
gled tho versatile actress, "but I'd like to
get ten."
"Cakes," bo it explained to the un
initiated, means board and room. "Five
and cakes," when translated Into English,
reads "Five dollars a week, board and
room." Railroad fares are always paid,
but in nearly every company the mem
bers must provide their own hotel accom
modations. As a matter of fact, salaries
In a company like the Fischer troupe
range from 55 to $15 a week with board.
"Where do you get your actors?" I
asked as visions gathered of haughty
leading men who spoke lightly of "two
and a half" and "one and a quarter"
when .they meant $250 and $125. "Of
course, your leading lady owns the show,
but where do the other players come
from?"
"You want to roost us," repeated the
manager, as he reflected in alarm that he
might have talked too much. "Our actors
ain't the best ever, but they'll do. Seen
our leading lady yet?"
the aid of the repentant women who need
them."
Miss Addams impromptu Jalk stirred
the women as all of the essays and 'talks
that preceded her had failed to do, and
the women of the club, who last week
were ready to draw In their skirts when
passing an unfortunate woman "with a
past," and who were ready to ignore Mrs.
Leslie Carter and "Du Barry," were yes
terday pledging themselves to go- out
among the women of the under world to
find them and clasp them to their bosoms.
The Woman's Club had a fierce prob
lem to struggle with, and it did It nobly.
It was the problem that for centuries has
agitated the minds of both sexes, philoso
phers, and society queens: Whether a
woman who has sinned Is to be forgiven.
The general verdict of yesterday was that
she should.
"Christ set the same standard of morals
for women that he did for men," said
Mrs. Paull, "and we will never have a
virtuous world until we adopt a moral
standard regardless of sex.
"As long as sin is not troublesome
leave it alone. But when it Interferes
with our pleasure kill It," continued Mrs.
Paull.
"On the question of forgiveness," said
the rush of holiday business last year,
and had hoped that a new and larger
building would have been erected by the
company on the quarter-block at Fourth
and Yamhill streets this season, but this
has not materialized. As the holiday sea
son Is approaching. Agent Shelby has
leased a room at ISC Fourth street, two
doors south of the main office, for a de
livers' department. He is confident that
the company will erect a new building
next Summer. The room had been occu
pied by Mrs. Hart's dyeing establishment.
When Wells, Fargo & Co. were moving
In, some scallawag took down and carried
away two large signs belonging to her.
The company's employes thought she had
employed the man who did this, and she
thought he was doing It for the company,
and so he got away with the signs, which
cost several dollars each. Thinking that
they might have been taken by mistake.
Agent Shelby advertised for them, but
nothing has ever been heard of them. It
Is concluded that the man who robbed a
hardworking woman of them was a genu
ine sneakthlef, probably a painter, who
painted another sign on them. If this
does him any Injustice, he can prove it by
bringing the signs back.
SEAL ESTATE BISING.
Dealers Predict Prevailing Prices
Will Soon Tempt Speculation.
For months past Improved real estate
property has had a ready sale, and unim
proved has only been bought to build
upon. The demand has been steadily
growing, and favored localities have felt
the effects in increased prices, but the
widespread area on the outskirts has sold
as cheaply as ever, and an unimproved
lot can be bought on the East Side, with
in 20 minutes' walk of Third and Mor
rison streets, for as low as 5300 to 5500.
This condition cannot last. If a specu
lative spirit does not spring up by itself,
the rapidly increasing numbers of people
who throng Into Portland by every route,
day after day, will put such a demand on
houses and flats alone that the rents ac
cruing from these will bo so much greater
than the natural Interest on the money
invested In the property at its present
valuation that values will rise without
the Instigation of speculators. This ef
fect has followed a reign of low prices in
all other American cities, and Portland
people are merely slow In demanding
more for their property. Of course, if
one man did so, he would simply not
make a sale, as his neighbor would un
dersell him. but if the community would
wako up to the earning capacity of Port
land property, and see how much it ex
ceeds the Interest on the money Invested
and the wages of management, they
would demand more for it. Conspicuous
cases of this kind are old buildings that
have long since paid for themselves, but
continue to draw high rents, aggregating
an amount tnat is several times the legit
imate Interest. If these buildings were
torn down and more spacious and land
saving structures replaced them, ' the
profit would be greater. Such buildings
spring up daily all over town, but the
demand is not filled yet The Title Guar
antee & Trust Company handles a good
deal of property for rent, and George H.
Hill, the manager of their real estate In
terests, says that people dally come to
him, asking for a house to live in, and,
although he rents hundreds, he cannot
furnish them. "I know of dozens of
cases," he said, "where people have lived
weeks In Portland cooped up In an apartment-house
because they could not get
residences. This state of affairs has n
meaning. It means a natural rise in the
value of real estate, and If it delays much
longer, the time will be overripe, and an
extravagant boom will result Everybody
will play for a rise, and a tumble will be
the consequence."
But In the meanwhile prosperous condi
tions, good wages, a flourishing country
surrounding the city, are incompatible
with the general range of real estate
values in Portland.

"Never did," I said.
"She's pretty," continued the man who
was afraid of being roasted, "young, too.
She's a good actress all right, all right."
"She's certainly beginning at the bot
tom and working up," I suggested.
"Sure," assented the manager, and then
a vaguo suspicion that some reflection had
been made on the company dawned upon
him. "What's that?" he snapped.
"I can't say a thing," ho replied to an
other Inquiry as to whence the actors
came. And so I hunted up a theatrical
friend and made further Inquiry.
"What kind of a show is this Fischer
show?" I asked. "I see the leading man
pounding the bass drum In the street
parade. Does he also play In tho or
chestra between the acts?"
"Companies that play the little villages
which the regular showB never visit," said
the theatrical friend," pick up all their
actors In country towns. They get young
men who can play some musical instru
ment, and take a chance on them being
able to act The main thing is tho band.
The music draws the people In. Sometimes
the actors drive them out The salaries
are low, but not so bad for the people
that get them. Remember a farmhand
only gets 540 a month."
"What do they do for" theater buildings
in these hamlets?" I asked
"Nearly every settlement has somo kind
of a hall. When they haven't, the show
plays In a tent, in a barn. In a field in
closed by a high board fence, even on the
open prairie. Ono of those companies Is
never stuck for a place to show."
"And scenery?" I said.
"They carry It with them. They even
have a canvas proscenium arch which
they can string across a barn and make
It look like a theater."
"And plays?" I said.
"They buy pirated plays from, a house
In Chicago which revamps copyrighted
productions and sells them under other
names."
"And money?"
"The profits are not amazing, but the
expenses are light. Salaries don't amount
to much. There are no royalties. If the
show strikes a bad streak of luck it sud
denly ceases to exist and the actors go
back to the grocery wagon and the farm."
A. C.
Mrs. Catherine Waugh McCullough, "we
women should hold out a helping hand to
every woman who "Is repentant. But for
those who do not want to repent well,
that is another question.
Only the Women Fined.
"This question of making raids In what
the police call the 'red-light' district is
criminal In that nearly always the men
are allowed to go free and the women
brought up in court and fined. If a man
Is arrested he should be booked under his
own name and made an example of. As it
Is, he pays a little fine and departs, and
the woman, who cannot afford to pay her
fine, must pay for it by extra sin.
"Social sin should not be licensed, and
both the man and the woman arrested
should not be allowed to swell the treas
ury by fines, but both where the woman
is unrepentant should be imprisoned."
"This question is forcing Itself upon us
nationally as well as locally," said Miss
American. "We must show the men that
we do not intend to stand for such out
rages. Tho conservative women must go
Into the movement and stand up for
those women who are unfortunate, for if
It were not for the grace of God and clr
cumstances. we might bo in their places.
READY FOR HER CARGO
STEAMSHIP ASCOT WILL TAKE
WHEAT AND FLOOR TO JAPAN.
Appearance of the Vessel Attracts
Attention-Line From Mexico
to the Orient Assured.
Everything Is ready to start- tho par
on the steamship Ascot at Irving dock
this morning. She will load 5000 tons of
wheat .there and will later shift to one of
the other docks and take aboard 1000 tons
of flour. The cargo will be provided by
the Northwestern Warehouse Company
and is destined for ports in Japan. A
cargo of about the same dimensions for
the same ports will be loaded next month
on the steamship Stanley Dollar and two
more wheat cargoes for the Orient will
go out In January, negotiations now being
under way for the charter of the vessels.
The Ascot attracts much attention: from
river-front people by her peculiar ap
pearance. Unlike most of the big tramps
coming here, the steamer has a flush deck
with nothing to break It but the pilot
house and bridge. The absence of a rail
or bulwarks of any kind give her a
strange appearance as viewed from the
dock. The steamer is new, having been
muncneu oniy msi year at Glasgow at
the yards of Napier & Miller. She is
owned by Watts, Watts & Co., of London,
and is commanded by Captain Cox. The
steamer has a net tonnage of 4300 and Is
of the following dimensions: Length, 2S5
feet; beam, 50 feet; depth of hold,' 26
feet. Previous to coming to Portland the
Ascot carried a cargo of raw sugar from
Java to the Vancouver, B. C, refinery.

NEW LINE TO ORIENT.
Ballin Confirms Reports of Hamburg
American Service.
NEW YORK, Nov. 17. In dlBcussing
the results of his visit to this city, Herr
Albert Ballin, director-general of the
Hamburg-American line, has confirmed
the reports of an arrangement for ocean
service in connection with' tho new Kan
sas City, Mexico & Orient Railway.
"A contract has been completed between
our company and the Kansas City, Mex
ico & Orient Railway," he said, "by
which he will establish a passenger and
freight line to tho Far East and a line
of freight ships to Australia from the
Pacific terminus, Topolobampo, Mex.,
which Is to be named Port SUUwell, In
honor of the president of the company.
W ("Trorh thn tho nillmoil tttHI v., n-
1 lshed In two years, and it and the steam-
ship lnes will form a community of in
terests for quite a long period."
"Is It true," he was asked, "that there
are any existing difficulties between the
German lines and the International Mer
cantile Marine Company?"
"It Is not," was the reply. "To proe
this I will say that negotiations are? go
ing on now between tho White Star Line
and the Hamburg-American LJne which
will, if completed, bring these two con
cerns into very close touch, so far as
their traffic between New York and the
Mediterranean Is interested."
Herr Ballin declared that subsidies by
the various governments have so far
shown a lack of good results.
"So far," he declared, "no government
has succeeded really in helping Its ship
ping trade by nursing it in this artificial
way. On the contrary, It has resulted in
an Inferior condition whorever promulgated."
DECEMBER WIND AND WEATHER
Forecast of Conditions In the North
Pacific Ocean.
Tho pilot chart of the North Pacific
Ocean for December gives the following
forecast of wind and weather for the
coming month:
Throughout the entire stretch between
San Francisco Bay and the Strait of
Fuca the course of the winds will be
from SE., with falling barometer,
through South to SW. and ,West, with
rising barometer. Immediately under
the coast the prevailing winds will be
SE. Within tho area 125 deg.-130 deg.
W., 40 deg.-50 deg. N., the most fre
quent direction will be South, over 50
per cent of all winds being Included be
tween SE. and SW. Beyond 130 deg.
W., as also to the southward of 40 deg.,
the winds will have a greater westing.
Squally weather, with rain and frequent
gales, may be expected throughout the
entire area, tho latter from SSE. to
West
Continuing southward NW'ly winds may
be exvjected as far as Acapulco,
covering a belt extending 300 miles off
shore. From 15 deg. to 10 deg. NEly
winds will prevail r likewise from 10 deg.
to 5 deg. as far West as the 105th
meridian, beyond which the prevailing
direction will be SE. The average fre
quency of calms between these parallels
is 20 per cent (20 hours In each hundred).
The present month Inaugurates a dry
season (December-March) on the coast
of Central America, the main feature of
which Is the absence of thunder storms.
An elongated trough of low barometer
(pressure 29.60 Inches) covers the Aleu
tian Islands. Around this trqugh tho
prevailing winds blow in a direction
contrary to tho motion of the hands of
a watch. The two circulations, cyclonic
(around the . low) and antl-cyclonlc
(around the high), thus unite in giving
to the winds over the northern half of
the ocean a W'ly direction.
Throughout tho month the NE. mon
soon will cover the China and Celebes
Seas, the Philippine Islands, and the
eastern coast of Asia as far north as
Shanghai. Beyond this point the prevail
ing direction of the wind will be North
to NW. Tho NE. monsoon attains a
maximum strength and constancy along
the stretch between Macao and Chusan.
In the vicinity of the -mainland it ex
hibits a marked tendency to follow the
coast. Here it also weakens slightly by
night, and at the .same time blow3
somewhat off shore, often permitting a
vessel close under the land to make
headway against It The monsoon brings
thick rainy weather on the northern end
and eastern coast of Formosa and Lu
zon, making navigation difficult. A ris
ing barometer foreruns an Increase in
strength, a falling barometer a decrease.
Throughout the Philippine Archipelago
during December and January NE'ly
winds will prevail, often attaining con
siderable force, especially with rising
barometer. Abundant rain along tho
Pacific Coast. For Manila tho average
cllmatological conditions during Decem
ber are: Pressure, 29.96 Inches; tempera
ture 77 deg. F.; rainfall 2.2 Inches. For
January they are: Pressure, 29.93 inches;
temperature, 77 deg. F.; rainfall, ,1.1
Inches.
Temporary areas of alternately high
and low barometer, with attendant antl
cyclonlc and cyclonic wind circulations,
will be found moving In a general
E'ly direction across tho ocean In
temperate latitudes. In advance of the
former the weather is dry. the barome
ter rises, the thermometer falls, the
clouds (cirrus, cirro-cumulus, alto
cumulus) tends to dissolve, and the gen
eral direction of the winds is polar or
W'ly; in advance of the latter the
weather Is damp, the barometer falls,
the thermometer rises, the clouds (cirro
stratus, alto-stratus, nimbus) tend to
gather, and the general direction of the
winds is equatorial or E'ly. The
eastward passage of an anti-cyclone is
marked by slowly shifting winds and
fair weather; of a cyclone, by rapidly
shifting winds, gales, rain and foul
weather.
Typhoons are not frequent during De
cember and are rare during January.
Their occurrence Is confined to the region
between Guam and Luzon and to the
southern part of the China Sea. One of
the earliest signs of the approach of a
typhoon Is the apparent failure of tho
barometer to respond to the diurnal
oscillation. .
Yukon Steamboatmen Returning.
The Portland steamboatmen who go
North every Spring to run Yukon River
packets have nearly all returned for the
Winter. Captain James T. Gray and
George Raabe returned several days ago
and yesterday Captain George Shaver and
James Lee arrived. Captain Frank Turner
came out from Dawson with them, but
stopped at Vancouver where he will re
main for the Winter. Just before leaving
Dawson Captain Shaver met Captain Will
Warren, of Astoria, who had Just come
In from Tanana. Captain Warren wa3
very favorably impressed with Tanana
and expects to work some of his claims
there next Summer. He will work his
claim near Dawson this Winter.
Tug and Schooner Sink.
VICTORIA, B. C, Nov. 17. The lug
Mystery, owned by Captain McKenzIe, of
Vancouver, struck on Stag Rpcks early
this morning and foundered, when her
crew were attempting to beach her. She
lies in 15 feet of water and will be saved.
Her engineers kept steam on her In the
effort to beach her until the fires were put
out by water.
The sealing schooner C. D. Rand, which
stranded at Kyuquot, has foundered In
15 fathoms of water while her crew was
endeavoring to get her to a beach.
Head of the Gray Line.
George D. Gray, head of the California
& Oregon Coast Steamship Company,
was In the city yesterday on his way to
Seattle. He states that If business on
the Coos Bay line continues to Improve,
the little steamer Navarro will be taken
off and a larger boat substituted. Mr.
Gray will come around from the Sound
on the steamer Nome City, which will
make several trips from Portland to
San Francisco with grain.
Steamer Elizabeth Launched.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 17. The steam

J. B. C. Lockwood, engineer of tho
Fortof Portland Commission, has re
turne'd from several months stay In
Texas where he had a tig dredging con
tract. The change of the wind from south to
east loosened a great amount of drift
wood yesterday morning, which made
navigation along the city front dlffipult
for sternwheelers.
Captain Nichols, of the Duns Law, was
up from Astoria yesterday to buy some

A NOTED WOMAN
COUSIN OF LATE U. S. PRESI
DENT 2ACHARY TAYLOR.
76 Years of Age, Recommends VInol
for Old People.
Mrs. Sarah J. WIndrom, of 429 W. Erie
St., Chicago, a member of one of the most
distinguished families In -the country,
cousin of Zachary Taylor, 12th President
of the United States, and grand-niece of
Alexander Hamilton, who signed the Dec
laration of Independence, writes:
"VInol Is a godsend to old people. I
am 76 years old, but I feel active and
well today, thanks to the vitalizing ef
fects of VInol.
"My appetite Is all that could be de
sired. I sleep well, and my mind Is clear,
and I am Interested In the affairs of life
as I was 50 years ago.
"When I was young cod liver oil was
dispensed in a greasy, unpalatable form,
and It fairly gagged me to get It down.
VInol Is so different, palatable and nour
ishing to Impoverished blood.
"I feel so much stronger, both men
tally and physically, since I used VInol
that I feel it my duty, as well as a
pleasure, to recommend VInol as the
finest tonic I ever used In my life."
MRS. SARAH J. WINDROM.
Such words of praise from a person
of such high standing must bo accepted
as unquestionable proof of tho superior
ity of VInol.
Do you wonder that our VInol has
suclfi a strong hold upon the esteem of
doctors and patients? We know of noth
ing else that will accomplish such won
derful results; and, remember, VInol is
not a patent medicine.
There are hundreds of old people In
this vicinity who need just such a
strength-maker and tissue-builder as
VInol. Their blood is thin and sluggish
VInol will enrich and quicken the blood
and build up the system. It Is so much
better than whisky and strong stimu
lants, which always have a bad after
effect and vweaken and break down. There
Is nothing In the world so good for the
weak, the aged or the run-down system
and to euro a hanging on cold or hacking
cough as VInol, and because we know
so well what It will de we are always
ready to refund every cent paid us for
It If it falls to do what we ask. Try It
on our guarantee. Woodard, Clarke &

yet sufferea the death of a martyr for her
parents' offenses. "Many persons Inno
