The ordinary, everyday letter-carrier is
not prone as rule to take a gloomy view
of the affairs Of this world, even though
his daily routine of duty is arduous and
monotonous.
In spite Of the WEAKNESS occasiOned by
exercising his pedal extremities along the
same embarrassing paths each day and
the eye-fatiguing sameness about front
doors he yet is generally merry soul and
inclined to believe in glorious hereafter
for letter-carrers where mail is unknown
aud where his sole occupation will be in
loungIng on the edge of a golden cloud
a1d wondering as to the fate of those un-
happy mOrtals who in this vale Of tears
worried him by addressing letters on the
old Chaldean hler ogyphic plan.

street yesterday and gaZed modify at a
huge pile of pies which occupied a prOmi-
nent place among other chef d'9uvTes of
the bakers skill behind The glass. From
the pies his glance would wander TO the
busting baker behind the counter.
1t was not hungry look which amin ated
his blue eyes. as If he meditated breaking
the glass of the window, snatchlug an arm

away before the baker could emerge from
his door. No; 1t was more OF an inqulring
look. as If his mind was burdened with
some momentOus question in which the
luscious pies and the baker played prom

Suddenly he slapped his side with one
hand and muttered: 'IwOnder if he would

baker could not because he did not hear it

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.
It's excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties OF perfect lax
alive; effectually 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

Hotel-Keepers' Losses.

just how much hotel proprietor can afford
to lose through the failure OF guests TO pay
their hotel bills is not so simple question as II
seems. Every hotcEkeeper must lose some
money IN this way. Ii Is as impractical to de-
maud payment in advance as it Is impossible
for the hotel-keeDer 10 secure his account
through seiZing baggage. Losses thus sas-
tanned In the hotel business depend largely upon
the good judgment OF those in charge OF the
sfiice or the authority, whatever II may be, for
extending credit.
No hotel laws against beats and crooks can
ria a hotel from entaIlng such losses, and
hotels will lose money In this manner so long
as they do business. That no offense may be
