KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative; eiIectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it actS on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup Of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

An Unexpeoted bath.

0vide Musin, the violinist, was the
victim Of an odd accident recently
His concert company was about to be-
gin an evening entertainment at q
Baptist church, and Mr.. Musin, ar
rayed In faultless evening dress,
thought he would view the audience
without being seen. To accomplish
his purpose he stepped behind cur,
tain which hung at the back Of the
platform. There was a splash, and the
violinist found himself In three feet OF
water. He emerged very wet and
angry man. Mr.. Musin had mad
vertently stepped into the baptismal
font. II was after eight o'clock and
the concert had begun. A young man
came to the violinist's rescue, how
ever, and said he would provide Mr..
Musin with n dry outfit But II was
half an hour before he did, and Mr..
Musin was several minutes late MAX
Ing his appearance. The new trousers
fitted him rather awkwardly, and he
was not In pleasant frame OF mind,
but he got through with his part Of the
programme, and the audience Is prob
ably still ignorant Of the fact that he
had fallen into the font.-London

How He Put Il.

Col. John Hay happened to be in Chi.
cago at the time of the great fire.
Shortly afterward, as the story goes,
while seated in the parlor Of n hotel
he noticed two persons whispering and
glancing at him.
Presently one Of them crossed the
room and said:
"Are you Mr.. Hay2"
"Yes," replied the colonel.
"You wrote Little Breeches,' didn't
youp" was the next inquiry.
"Yes," responded the poet.
Upon that the man returned 10 the
place where his friend stood, and
bringing him back presented him SOL
emnly to Col. Hay as "Mr. M'Kaigips. I"
Col Hay received the newcomer po-
litely, though he had never seen or
heard Of him before.
After short pause the first man
said, In an impressive manner:
"Mr. Hay, shall we soon have the
pleasure Of seeing the great fire en-
balmed In verseT'-Youth's Compan-
ion.

about a quarter OF q mile away, that
the highway entered q dark clump OF
woodland. He nodded assent, and
walked rapidly forward, while the cara
van followed slowly In the rear. Hsi
Reaching the point where the wood
began, and entering the shadow of the
trees, he soon found a spot well fitted
for his purpose. To the left the road
widened out into grassy patch Of
common, adorned with one or two
bushes Of stunted brown, and stretched
out dusty arm, to touch q large white
gate, which opened on gloomy, grass
grown avenue winding right through
the heart of the wood. The caravan,
coming slowly up, was soon placed in
snug position not far from the gate,
the horse was taken ont and suffered
to Craze, while Tim, searching about,
soon found dry sticks and began to
light a fire. Diving into the caravan.
the young man emerged with q camp
stool, on which he sat down, lighted q
meerschaum pipe and began to smoke.
They could hear the rain family pat
tering in the boughs above them, but
the spot they had chosen was quite
sheltered and dry.
The fire soon blazed up. Entering
the caravan In his turn Tim brought
out tin kettle full Of water and
placed 1t on the fire, preparatory to
making tea. He was thus engaged
when the sound Of horses hoofs was
heard along the highway, and present.
ly the figure Of q horseman appeared
approaching at rapid trot. AS it
came near to the group on the wayside
the horse SHE'D violently, springing
from one side of the road to the other,
so that Its rider, q dark, middle-aged
man, in an old-fashioned cloak, was al
most thrown from the saddle. Uttering
fierce oath, he recovered himself, and,
refining in the frightened animal,
looked angrily around; then, seeing
the cause of the mischance, he forced
his horse, with no small difficulty, to
approach the figures by the fire.
"Who are you?" he demanded, in
harsh, peremptory tones "What are
you doing here2"
The young man, pipe in mouth,
looked up at him with q smile, but
made no reply.
What arc you2 vsgrants2 Do you
know this place is privateP" And he
pointed with his riding whip TO a
printed Notice. fixed close TO the
gate upon the stem of a large fr-tree.
II beg your pardon" said the young
man, with the utmost sangfroid; I'VE

did not Immediately depart, but re-
mained for some minutes seated In the
saddle, scowling over at the encamp-
ment. acfusE f253a .1 ei0t.
Thus occupied, his face and figure
set in the gloomy framework of the
trees, he looked even more forbidding
than before. His face, though natural
ly handsome, was dark and tempestu-
GUS with passions, his eyes deep-set
and fierce, his clean-shaven jaw square
and determined. For the rest, his black
hair, which was thickly mixed with
iron gray, fell almost to his shoulders,
and his upper lip was covered with an
iron gray rnustache. .S u ,,.-.
At last, as If satisfied with his scru-
tiny, Mr.. Monk turned his horse round
with fierce jerk Of the rein and rode
rapidly away in the shadow Of the
wood. '

way, and there, with your permission,
we purpose TO remain for the night"
Struck by the superior manner OF
the speaker the newcomer looked at
him In some surprise, but with nc
abatement Of his naughty manner.
He then glanced at Tim, who was busy
with the kettle, from Tim to the gray
mare and from the gray mare to the
house on wheels. The scowl on his
dark face deepened and he turned his
fierce eyes again on the young man.
Let me warn you that these
grounds are private. / suffer no wan

young man, In the same cool tone and
with the same quiet smile.

but walked his horse towards the gate.
Here, fellowr' he cried, addressing
Tim, open the gate for mel
Don't stir" said his master. Let
our amiable friend open the gate for
himself" -.'
With an angry exclamation the rider
leaped from his saddle, and, still hold
ing his horses reins, threw tho gate
wide open. Then, still leading his
horse, he strode over to the young man,
who, looking up, saw that he was
nearly six feet high and very power
