BLAMED ON THE RAILROAD.
T
First Thought in Irishman's Mind Af
ter the Accident. .
Railroad ' claim-agents bave little
faith In their fellow creatures. One
said recently: "Every time I settle a
claim with one of these hard-headed
rural residents who wants the rail
road to pay twice .what he would
charge the butcher if he gets a sheep
killed, I think of this story, illustra
tive of the way some people want to
hold the railroad responsible for
every accident, of whatever kind, that
happens. Two Irishmen were driving
home from town one night when their
buggy ran Into a ditch, overturned,
and they were both stunned. When a
rescuer came along and revived them,
the first thing one of them said was:
Where's the train?' 'Why, there's no
train around," he was told. Then
Where's the railroad?' 'The nearest
railroad is three miles away,' he
learned. "Well, well," he commented.
1 knew It hit us pretty hard,. but I
didn't suppose it knocked us three
miles from the track.' "

TWO CURES OF ECZEMA
Baby Had Severe Attack Grandfather
Suffered Torments with It
Owe Recovery to Cuticura.
"In 1884 my grandson, a babe, had
an attack of eczema, and after trying
the doctors to the extent of heavy bills
and an increase of the disease and suf
fering, I recommended Cuticura and
In a few weeks the child was well. He
is to-day a strong man and absolutely
free from the disease. A few years
ago I contracted eczema, and became
an Intense sufferer. A whole winter
passed without once having on shoes,
nearly from the knees to the toes be
ing covered with virulent sores. I tried
many doctors to po purpose. Then I
procured the Cuticura Remedies and
found Immediate improvement and
final cure. M. W.LaRue, 845 Seventh St.,

DRUGGISTS-GOo.
The
General 'Demand
of the WcU-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
the preference by the Well-informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sal
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.
- The Chauffeur's Thought.
A well-known Englishman tells a
good motor-car story. He says that
on one occasion, when instructing his
chauffeur to drive carefully, he re
marked: "I don't mind about grown
up people and dogs, but do be careful
about children and babies." Whereup
on the chauffeur replied: "Yes, them
feeding-bottles do cut up the tires
dreadful."
