With a better understanding the transient nature of the many physi-
cal ills which vanish before proper efforts-gentle efforts-pleasant
efforts-rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge that so many
forms of illness are not due to any actual .disease , but simply to a consti-
pated condition of the system , which the pleasant family laxative Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of Senna , promptly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families , and is everywhere esteemed so highly
by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the
fact that it is the only remedy which promotes internal cleanliness ,
without debilitating the organs on which i acts. It is , therefore , all-im-
tant , in order to get its beneficial effects , to purchase and note that
you have the genuine article , which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only.
J , It is pleasant and refreshing to the taste , and acts gently yet promptly
on the kidneys , liver and bowels , cleanses the system effectually , dispels
colds , headaches and fevers and assists in overcoming habitual constipa-
tion permanently , also biliousness and the many ills resulting therefrom.
: ' The great trouble with all other purgatives and aperients is not that they
{ a' t fail to act when a single dose is taken , but that they act too violently and
; I invariably tend to produce a habit of body requiring constantly augmented
I . doses. Children enjoy the pleasant taste and gentle action of Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna , the ladies find it delightful and beneficial
" whenever a laxative remedy is needed , and business men pronounce it
, I invaluable , as it may be taken without interfering with business and does
not gripe nor nauseate. When buying note the name , California "Fig
.I Syrup Co. printed on the front of every package. Price , 50 cents a bottle.

Turning defeat into victory Is the

illustrates the adroitness with which

An eminent lawyer was once cross-

er of the plaintiff in
a breach-of-prom-
Ise action , and was completely worsted
in the encounter of wits. At the close ,
howevar , he turned to the jury and
exclaimed :
"You saw , gentlemen , that even I
was but a child in her hands ! What
must my client have been ? "

GOOD SHORT
STORIES
, ' . .
Said a nervous lady to an Austin
lady , at whose house she was making
a call _ : "Are you not afraid that some
of your children will fall into that
cistern in your yard ? " "Oh , no . " was
the complacent reply ; "anyhow , that's
not the cistern we get our drinking
water from. "
'Mark Twain , in the course of a
speech , talked of his pet aversion.
"Christian Science , " he said , "reminds
me of the apple cure for drunkenness.
In Hannibal , in my boyhood , the apple
cure was highly esteemed. I remem-
ber once hearing the Hannibal town
drunkard expatiate on the apple cure.
'You believe in it , then , do you , Hank ? '
listener asked. 'Believe in it ? How
can I help ' believin' In it ? ' the drunk-
ard said , excitedly. 'Ain't it cured me
eight times ? ' "
The consul in London of a continen-
tal kingdom was informed by his gov-
ernment that one of his country-
women , supposed to be living in Great
Britain , had been left & million of
money. After advertising without re-
sult he applied to the police , and a
smart young detective was set to work.
When a few weeks toad gone by his
chief asked him how he was going on.
"I've found the lady , sir. " "Good !
Where is she ? " "At my place , I got
married to her yesterday ! "
One day a sympathetic old German
gentleman was leisurely strolling past
one of the city fire houses , when he
was moved by tears of the captain.
Stopping to offer consolation , he said :
"Say , for what you grief ? " "Oh , " re-
plied the captain , with a fresh gush of
tears , "my poor father is dead. If he
had lived Just one more day he would
have been chief of the whole fire de-
partment , just think. " "Do not so bad
feel , " said the friendly old German ,
patting the felolw on the shoulder ,
"maybe he is a fire chief now. "
During the French revolution a thief
and a marquis jolted in a tumbril side
by side through the wild streets of
Paris , on the way to the guillotine ,
while a venerable priest tried to con-
sole their terrible last ride with moral
reflections. "A bas la noblesse ! Down
with the aristocrats ! " shouted the red-
capped mob. Thereupon the thief rose
in the cart and cried : "My friends ,
you deceive yourself. I am not an
aristocrat. I am a thief. " The priest
plucked him by the sleeve , saying re-
proachfully : "Sit down. This is no
time for vanity ! "
On an occasion when Mr. Gladstone
was announced to speak In Manchester ,
the hall was packed and the air was
stifling. For some reason it was im-
possible to open the windows , which
were very high , and one had to be
broken. It was feared that the noise
would startle the audience , and the
mayor stepped forward to explain what
was proposed. The audience , however ( ,
ha , l not assembled to listen to the
mayor and overwhelmed him with
cries of "Gladstone , " "Gladstone ! " At
last the misconceived and infuriated
official restored silence by shouting at :
the top of his lungs : "I'm not going
to make a speech , I've got something
to say ! "

DISHONESTY OF SHOPPERS.
Little TrIcks Sometimes Played on
the Helpless Merchant.
Just before the curtain rose in one
of the New York theaters the other
night a keen-faced man strolled in and
took an orchestra chair near a box > c-
cupied by a certain fashionable wom-
an and her party , the Tribune of tuat
city says. If any Individual had taken
pains to follow the keen-faced man's
movements during the preceding hour
that Individual might have perceived
him trailing the fashionable woman
from her home. From his place in the
theater he seemed much interested in ,
her gown , which was a beautiful ono , c
with Paris written all over it. Quite
unobtrusively , he took several good
looks at It through his opera glasses.
Presently he strolled up to the box.
The woman In the Paris gown was go-
Ing to be haughty at this uninvited
appearance of a man she didn't know ,
but he gave her no chance.
"Madam , " he said , "the firm of H-
Is delighted that you are so well pleas-
ed with the gown sent you on approval <
that you have decided to keep It. " }
Now , as a matter of fact , he knew , I
and she knew that he knew , that she
had had no intention of keeping that
gown. She was one of those custom
ers , a class more numerous than people
not in business imagine , who are con-
stantly ordering things from the shops
on "approval" and returning them in a
day or two with the freshness gone ; a
no definite tears or rips , but an indei
finable something showing to the ex- . .
pert that that article has been worn.
It was a critical situation for the fash- I
ionable ! woman , especially as her comJ
panions in the box might be moved to
turn around and lend an to
) ear cfce I
conversation. But she never turned a
hair.
"It Is quite satisfactory-which
many of the gowns Hhas sent me
were not , " she said , serenely , and the / -
next day the firm received her check. t
Not many firms , perhaps , would do
what this firm did , and it took the. step
only after long provocation. The good
will of wealthy customers , even the t
tricky : ones , is important. But there Is
not a house of any size dealing with j
woman's raiment that doesn't
writhe t
under the depredations of the women t
who must have new gowns every tlma 1
they : go out , and aren't able or aren't
willing to pay for the privilege.

a
/
puzzling sex , " said a merchant , recent.
ly , "is that while women In business
cashiers , buyers for merchants , etc.-
are almost Invariably honest , women
out of business are liable to have
yawning gulfs where the sense of hon-
esty resides. They wouldn't steal-oh ,
no ! But the Innumerableways in
which they evade the simple law of
straightforwardness would make an
oriental feel like a tyro. Not all resort
to the crude method of wearing gowns
sent home an approval. ' 'The subtler
ones have them copied. The dressmak-
er will be in the house , and the minute
the gown arrives she falls upon it ,
tries it on her patron , studies It , meas-
ures the lines , and in a few hours , wuu .
the help , perhaps , of a seamstress or
two , is well on the way of turning out
an exact copy of the Paris gown. This
has even been done with the messenger
waiting in the house , in cases where
he refused to leave the package. Then
the gown is returned-unharmed , it is
true , but the firm is robbed all the
came : . ; for that gown was probably of
exclusive design , and the woman who
buys it won't be exactly pleased if uhn
chances to encounter one just like it
the first Mme she wears it.
"This sort of thing Is done a good
deal abroad , and by women of greater
wealth and standing that those who de-
scend to it in America. Only in on6 re
spect can the Parisian dressmaker pro-
tect herself against these female pi-
rates. He can adorn the splendid gar-
ments he sends out with original trim-
mings which can't be duplicated. Oth-
erwise he Is helpless against the wom-
an with the sliding sense of honesty. "
WHEN IT MARKS ZERO.
Ihe Chief Peculiarity of the Fahren-
heit Thermometer.
The chief peculiarity of the Fahren-
heit thermometer is that when it
marks zero there are at that moment
Just 32 degrees of frost in the air ,
which is a fair start for a cold day.
But when 50 degrees of frost are add-
ed , by the drop of the mercury this
much below Fahrenheit's arbitrary
zero mark , as is frequently the case
in various parts of our country , what
folks are really getting is 82 degrees
of frost.
As a matter of fact , the point where
things begin to freeze or to thaw is
the natural dividing line , and not
Fahrenheit's zero mark , which does
not enter into consideration until
things have been frozen Up to the ex-
tent of 32 degrees. In other words ,
when one is told how cold it Is , he
should really be informed as to the
amount of all the frost and not merely
a part ' thereof , just as when things
began to warm up , one would like to
know just how warm It is from the
freezing point , and not , as with the
Fahrenheit thermometer , be obliged to
subtract 32 degrees of non-existent
frost , In July say , in order to learn
the actual truth.
It follows , therefore , that the truly
sensible thermometers are those known
as the Centigrade and the Reaumur.
Both take the points at which water
freezes and water boils as points fixed
by nature. The space between these
two points Is divided on the Centri-
grade thermometer Into 100 degrees ,
and on the Reaumur Into 80 degrees.
The division into 100 degrees Is prob- -
ably better than that into 80 degrees ,
but only for the reason that so many
things in this world are divided by
tens and hundreds that most of us are
more or less accustomed to the deci-
mal system.
Both the Centrigrade and Reaumur
thermometers are honest and accurate
in making zero just at that point on
the tube where there Is actually "noth-
ing doing , " as between heat and cold-
where , if any change Is made , it must
be made either in the direction of heat
.
or of frost.
In Fair Preservation.
One winter some years ago , a large
whale was killed near one of the At-
lantic seaports. Its carcass was taken
ashore , loaded on two flat cars , and
transported far Inland , to cities where
a : whale was a curiosity that people
would pay to see. It was necessary , cf
course , that exhibitions should be
given in unheated halls , and as it was
a cold winter , the whale kept in a
fairly good state of preservation for a
considerable nu.mber of weeks before
It became imperative to close the
amusement season , so far as that par-
ticular : cetacean was concerned. While
it was on exhibition In Chicago a mer-
chant from a little town In Southern
Illinois [ , who happened to be In the
city on business , went to see it. When
he returned home he could talk of
nothing else.
"You may think you've seen big
fish , " he said , "but unless you've come i
across a whale somewhere , you
haven't"
"How long was It , Jeff ? " somebody
asked him.
"It was mighty , close to ninety feet ,
and about fifteen feet thick. It was the
biggest thing I ever saw out of the
water that swims In the water. "
"Well.said the village doctor , "you
didn't expect to find It a smelt , did
you ? "
"No , " he answered , hesitatingly , "but
It did , just a little. "
Ancient Sacrifices.
Many Roman and Greek epicures
were very fond of dog flesh. Before
Christianity was established among
he Dants on every ninth year ninety-
nlne dogs were sacrificed. In Sweden
each ninth day ninety-nine dogs were
destroyed. But later on dogs were not
hought good enough , and every ninth
year ninety-nine human beings were
Immolated , the sons of the reigning
yrant among the rest , in order that
he life of the monarch might be pro-
longed.

mad , call him "My boy. "

Lydia E. Pinkh m's Vegetable Compound ? We can )
furnish positive proof that it has made many remarkable !
cures after all other means had failed.
Women who are suffering with some form of female ,
illness should consider this.
As such evidence read these two unsolicited testimonial ' . r
letters. We guarantee they are genuine and honest state - ,
ments of facts.
Cresson , Pa. - " Five years ago I bad a bad fall , and hurl :
myself inwardly. I was under a doctor's care for nine weeks *
and when I stopped I grew worse again. I sent for a bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound , took it as directed , .
and now I am a stout , hearty woman.-Mrs. Ella E. Aikejr , .
Cresson , Pa. "
Baird , "Wash. " A year ago I was sick with kidney and
bladder troubles and female weakness. The doctors gave me
up. All they could do was to just let me go as easily as possible.
I was advised by friends to take Lydia Pinkham's Vegetable .
Compound and Blood Purifier. I am completely cured of my .
ills , and I am nearly sixty years old. " - Mrs. : Sarah Leigrhton , .
Baird , Wash.
Evidence like the above is abundant. showing that the
derangements of the female organism which breed all kinds
of miserable feelings and which ordinary , practice does not
cure , are the very disorders that give way to Lydia E. .
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Women who are afflicted with similar troubles , after -
reading two such letters as the above , should be encouraged
to try this wonderfully helpful remedy. .
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable b to a
Compound has been the standard remedy for N '
female ills. No sick woman does justice to '
herself who will not try this famous medicine.
Made exclusively from roots and herbs , and
has thousands of cures to its credit. - ,

Not an Inch of Healthy Skin Left.
My little son , a boy of five , broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc-
tors prescribed for him , but , he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any vmore. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college ,
but its treatment did no good. At
the time I was induced to try Cuti-
cura he was so bad that I had to cut
his hair off and put the Cuticura Oint- -
ment on him on bandages , as it was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was one mass of
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them it used
to take the skin off with them , and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. I began to think that
he would never get well , but after the
second application of Cuticura Oint-
ment I began' to. see signs of improve-
ment , and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled off twenty
times , but it finally yielded to the
treatment. Now I can say that he i =
entirely cured , and a stronger and
healthier boy * you never saw than he
is to-day , twelve years : or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam
