If it was only health we
might let it cling
But it is a cough One cold
no sooner passes off before
another comes But its the
same old cough all the time
And its the same old story
too There is first the cold
then the cough then pneu
monia or consumption with the
long sickness and life tremb

m EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Si rup
Co only and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co
only a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Sykup Co with the medi
cal profession and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy It is
far in advance of all other laxatives
as it acts on the kidneys liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them and it does not gripe nor
nauseate In order to get its beneficial
effects please remember the name of
the Company

Training the Children
John said Mrs Wisely to her liege
lord the other evening I want to have
a very frank talk with you Do you
realize thit the boys are old enough
now to observe and are beginning to
form their characters
Of course I do Great boys
Yes and we want them to be great
men They naturally look tip to you
John more than to anybody else For
their sakes you must be careful in
what you do and say You fell over a
chair the other day and used some very
improper language I heard Willie re
peat it when he stubbed his toe in the
back yard
The little rascal lie didnt
chuckled the father
Yes John and they pretend to smoke
cigars and pour drinks from an imagin
ary decanter Cant you set them a bet
ter example
Say little one I heard Amy playing
keep house one afternoon lately When
callers were announced she sent nut
word that she was not at home When
she did consent to receive anyone she
combed them down to beat the band be
fore they were admitted One was an
old frump another was an intolerable
bore and a third better a good deal be
at home cleaning house or looking after
her children You couldnt have dune it
better yourself
I see what you mean sir No use of
rubbing it in But wait dear in a
softer voice lets both do better Its
for their sakes you know
Ill go you and they shook hands
As John left that evening he slipped
up on the front steps and made the air
blue Around the corner he lit his
cigar Mrs Wisely had some animated
gossip with a neighbor And yet the
children seem to thrive Detroit Free

The mission school habit is probably
the strongest while it lasts but the
sachet habit makes a giiTs family a lot
more uncomfortable
The reason why it takes a woman sc
long to make up her mind is because
she wants to think up all the ways she
can possibly change it
A woman has to have a lot more pa
tience to let the cat in and out than she
has for her husband because if she
didnt it would leave her
if the average man were as brave

is he would probably have married

The Lions Petition
Sultan Muley Abderrahman of Mor
occo was very fond of wild animals
and had coolness of nerve in dealing
with them He was one day passing
through the court of the palace mount
ed on a magnificent white charger
when a lion which he had been in the
habit of caressing sprang up the side
of the horse and placed his paws upon
the sultans knee
The horse wild with fear snorted
and reared and the sultan held him
In with a firm hand Those who saw
him say that he was not in the least
disturbed He put his hand on the
lions head and stroked it Then he
turned to the chief officer of the court
and asked
How many pounds of meat are given
to this lion daily
The officer told him the quantity
Let the lion have ten more pounds
said his majesty and the beast as if
an actual petition had been granted
withdrew from the horses side and lay
down again quite pacified
These animals said the master of
the horse understand what is spoken
although they have not the power of
speech to tell what they want
