THE MEN AND WOMEN
Who Enjoy the Choicest Products
of the World’s Commerce.
Knowledge of What la Beat More Im
portant Than Wealth With
out It.
It must be apparent to every one that
qualities of the highest order are neces
sary to c'nable the best of the products of
modern commerce to attain permanently
to universal acceptance. However loudly
heralded, they may not hope lor world-wide
preeminence unless they meet with the
general approval, not of Individuals only,
but of the many who have the happy
faculty of selecting, enjoying and learn
ing the real worth of the choicest prod
ucts. Their commendation, consequently,
becomes important to others, since to
meet the requirements of the well In
formed of all countries the method of
manufacture must be of the most per
fect order and the combination the most
excellent of its kind. _ The above is true
not of food products only, but is espe
cially applicable to medicinal ugents and
after nearly a quarter of a century of
growth and general use the excellent
remedy, Syrup of Figs, is everywhere
accepted, throughout the world, as the
best of family laxatives. Its quality Is
due not only to the excellence of the
combination of the laxative and carmin
ative principles of plants known to act
most beneficially on the system and pre
sented In the form of a pleasant and re
freshing liquid, but also to the method
of manufacture of the California Fig
Syrup Co., which ensures that uniformi
ty and purity essential in a remedy Sn
Unded for family use. Ask any physi
cian who Is well informed and ho will
answer at once that It Is an excellent
laxative. If at ail eminent in his pro
fession and has made a special study of
laxatives and their effects upon the sys
tem he will tell you that It Is the best
of family laxatives, because It is sim
ple and wholesome and cleanses hnd
sweetens the system effectually, when
a laxative is needed, without any un
pleasant after-effects. Every well-in
formed druggist of reputable standing
knows that Syrup of Figs Is an excel
lent laxative and Is glad to sell It. at
the regular price of fifty cents per bot
tle, because it gives general satisfac
tion, but one should remember that in
order to get the beneficial effects of
Syrup of Figs it Is necessary to buy the
genuine, which is sold in original pack
ages only, the name of the remedy—
Syrup of Figs and also the full name of
the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.
—printed on the front of every package.
In IS99 The Sangerlust celebrated its
fiftieth anniversary with a large cele
bration in New York City. The follow
ing is his testimony:
“About two years ago I caught »(
severe cold while traveling and which
settled into catarrh of the bronchial
tubes, and so affected my voice that 1
was obliged to cancel my engagements.
In distress I was advised to try l’eruna,
and although I had never used a patent
medicine before, I sent for a bottle.
“Words but illy describe my surprise
to find that within a few days 1 was
greatly relieved.and within three weeks
I was entirely recovered. I am never
without it now, and take .an occasional
dose when 1 feel run down.”—Julian
Weisslitz.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of l’eruna

full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad

The Young Man Vanished.
When Mr. Miles, assistant secretary
of the treasury, was returning from
Tuba a few days ago. a young man
whom he had seen on the Key West
steamer came up to him on the train
and began a conversation with easy
familiarity. "Get any cigars through?"
asked the affable young man. "Oh,
yes." replied Mr. Ailes. "A couple of
boxes.” Didn't pay any duty on ’em
1 hope?" "Yes. I paid duty," said Mr.
Ailes. sadly. "Oh, pshawV* said the
young man. “You’re dead slow. I
got 250 through and they didn't pay
duty." “You see,” said Mr. Ailes.
"the difference between us is that I
am an assistant secretary of the treas
ury." The young man vanished and
Mr. Ailes did not see him again during
the trip to Washington.
Took Howells for a Crook.
A Boston business man who has a
very poor opinion of the detectives in
that city sent for two of them recently
and showed the photograph of a rather
tough-looking person whose identity
he seemed anxious to learn. One of
the sleuths at once identified the man
as a noted bank robber; the other in
clined to the belief that it was an
equally notorious forger. They finally
agreed that it was the bank robber,
whereupon the business man showed
the back of the photograph— on which
they read the original's name—'Wil
liam Dean Howells. When the author
heard that he had been mistaken for
a noted criminal he thoughtfully ob
served that he could not blame the
detectives,

We Are Great Apple Eaters.
The latest estimate places the total

in the United Stales aT something
over 200,000.000. This is nearly three
trees to every person. These trees
yield more than 175.000,000 bushels.
Not all of these apples are consumed
at home, for in years of full crop
more than 3,000,000 go abroad. Yet
the apples kept at home are more
than two bushels to every adult and

Youth Who Rebuked Fat Man fof
Promiscuous Expectoration Get*
Into Serious Difficulty—Coarse Man
Wipes Up Floor With Him.
A fat man—fat and apparently
coarse, and with a predilection for
bullying over the common people—
stirred up a big rumpus yesterday
morning on the Staten Island ferry
boat Robert Garrett, which left St.
George at 7:10 o’clock.
This person chewed tobacco with a
noticeable vehemence, and with con
secutlveness and frequency he was
obliged to dispose of the usual by
product. It was the fat man's method
of disposing of his by-product that
made the rumpus. Perhaps there were
cuspidors, but the fat man didn't hunt
tor them. He picked out vacant spots
on the floor instead. There were worn'
en passengers, and some of them be
came almost panicky. Then it was
that a small, heroic man made his
appearance. He was a young man
with pale-blue eyes, a slim waist, and
an unhalling expression around his
chin. He had dodged the big man's,
hydraulic efforts once or twice, and
felt, called upon to do something. He
might have chosen a more original re
mark. but under the stress of great
mental excitement he resorted to the
old saw. Catching the fat man’s eyes
he said, angrily:
“Do you expect to rate yourself as
a gentleman?"
(Swish!) "Huh?" said the fat man.
"Then don't expectorate on the
floor." added the young hero.
A lot of "serves-you right-you-horrid
old-thing" looks from the women re
warded the young man, who thought
he had done tiis whole duty. Perhaps
he had. hut
Ihe tat man relapsed from hts con
templative mood Into one of strenuous
actiou. He reached forth his big,
chubby hands, and hooked them fast
to the clothes of the young hero with
the pale blue eyes. Then he bore
down on the little fellow and doubled
him hall up like a knife, and by sliding
him backward and forward on the
floor across the area of his temporary
tobacco-chewing domain, he removed
all traces of wet brown from tho cabin
floor.
There was plenty of feeling over this
Incident. The young man didn't like
it. He was in an uncomfortable po
sition, as he afterward asserted with
great positiveness. The aim sought
for had been practically achieved, but
the means—the means! There was
the rub! He was incensed at the rub.
Several coarse men i;urgled with glee,
others swore right out, and the women
set up such a clatter that the attention
of deckhands was attracted. One of
these hands was chewing tobacco
himself, but long years of introspec
tion had enabled him to observe prop
er sapitary precautions. The deck
rands “went for" the fat man. but he
wriggled between the horses and
trucks and lost himself in the crowd
at the opposite end of the boat. The
young man with the discouraged-look
ing trousers and determined air was
hot foot all over the boat after the
large person, but could not find him.
With the deckhands he stationed him
self at the gangway when the passen
gers left the boat at the Battery, con
fident of catching the large person.
But he didn't. Somehow', it is not
made clear just how, the 220-pound of
fender wriggled past them and went
on his way, while the young hero,
alter watching until the last man had
stepped ashore, went to hts office
chewing the bitter cud of reflection.—

Why Willie Pasaed Up the Ham.
Willie had been particularly im
pressed with that part of the cate
chism which recounted the things
which his sponsors in baptism had
‘promised and vowed in his .name."
So when the grandmother said sweet

"Willie, dear, won’t you have some
deviled ham?” he looked at her stern
ly and replied:
"No, grandma. You know I have
renounced the devil and all his

When* '7 sails A-e Rexpivlefl.
At the ancient church of St. Mich
ael. at Schwatz. in Tyrol, the sacred
edifice is invariably kept secretly
closed on the evening before every
great festival, and the simple peas
antry of the district arc convinced that
on these occasions, when no one is
present, an immense toad comes
crawling before the altar, where it
kneels and prays, weeping bitterly,
for the population Is imbued with the
belief that toads ere for the most part
good Christians who have made vows
to go on pilgrimages and who have
died without fulfilling their pledges.
So the poor ereature3 go hopping
about astray, bewildered and per

Prison Official's Daring Feat.
Second Warden E. A. McPherson
climbed the prison wall at Salem. Ore.,
the other night to test the vigilance
of guards. McPherson's feat was per
formed at the risk of his life, llad
he been discovered he would probably
have been instantly shot. He placed
n ladder against the exterior of the
wall, climbed up, lowered his ladder
in the jail yard, and descended. He
went through the prison shops, and as
a final touch carried away the coat and
hat of one of the guards. It was from
this jail that the famous Tracy es
caped last summer, and it is supposed
that the rifle with which he fought his
way out was taken into the prison
over the yard fence.
Reed and the Spanish War.
One of the late Tom Reed’s friends
and colleagues was telling story the
other day illustrative of the distin

Spanish war and interference in Cuba.
About the time war was declared Reed
came out of his hotel one morning
boiling mad. To a friend he declared:
“I would not give a drop of American
blood for all the 'dagoes* and negroes
in the island of Cuba. I would not
give the life of one American to save
3,000,000 of them. No, sir, I would
not. except—perhaps—” here a smile
spread over his big face and he re
lapsed into his "down East" drawl—

RESULTSCOUNT!
There are some things that have to depend on
catchy “talking points" in older to induce sales.
There are other things that are sold solely on their
merit and on account of RESULTS ! A notable,
example of this is found in the New Tiffin
Wagon which owes its supremacy SOLELY to
RESULTS. Its wonderful durability and capacity
for carrying enormous loads, and the remaikable
ease with which it runs are some of the “results’1
which have made it famous wherever known.
