nation on the teaching, practice and

The present work furnishes not only
an account OF shorthand in foreign
countries and in the United States, but
nearly the full statistics of instruction
from 1889 mp TO the summer of 1891 in
this country, with an account OF the
extent to which stenogrnphers have
been employed in courts, la legal de

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
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
oispelling 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

An Alligator story.

l saw sight the thought of which
always causes sh6dder to creep over
me. A lady near where had lived
sent little native boy with letter
to friend at some little distance,
with the request to send reply.
Being a trustworthy little fellow
some surprise was felt when he did
not return after reasonable alb

with no sign OF the messenger, a
seaching party, of which / was a
member, was made up to try to dis.
cover his whereabouts.
After securing the country for
some time we came to the river
bank, and a short distance away saw
dead alligator lying on the shore
with its gIear jaws extended to their

TOMORROW

Hopeful youth with rosy face,
Struggling in the mortal race,
Never worried, never tired
Ever by the thought inspired,
That for every pain we borrow
Comes redemption in the morrow;
Sacrificing strength and soul
Striving, striving for the goal
That awaits the life tomorrow
Spurning flowers of to-day
For the blossoms rich array
OF tomorrow, of tomorrow.
Listless age with withered face,
Drifting in the mortal race,
Worn and helpless, lone and weary,
Gazing through the shadows dreary
OF the long, long night of sorrow
For the sunrise of the morrow;
Drifting drifting to the sea
or eternal mystery,
While the world repeats ''To-morrow.
Thus it speeds the soul from strife,
Thus it greets the newborn life,
With Tomorrow" aye, tomorrow.
Clifford Howard.
