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 perfect lax
alive; efIectually 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 we'll informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

Some American Dialects.

A Washington young woman says
that the capital is the best place in the
country to study English as spoken by
Americans from all sectious; that if a
visitor will only go about town with
his ears open he will hear more dialect
in day than could have been heard
before in a years travel. For exc M
Pile" she says, II went skating with
some girls the other day. There was
one girl who could skate. She was
from Maine. She left off every final e,
but to make up for that she emphasized
the in that the e was clipped from.
She called her coat 'cawt, too Then
there was Virginian, and she said as
she saw the northern girl glide off: 4

do do.'-only that rally can't quite
convey her pronunciation. The third
of the trio was from the middle west,
and heard her say; 4 was so afraid

Then they all laughed, and for the life
of me l couldn't but think each speech
the prettiest."

You will get about forty dollars. You
understand? Go yourself-don't send
anyone"
The next morning, in her scant calico
dress, her thin shawl and rusty bonnet,
the fateful blue banl5-boo.l ciutched in
her hard, rough hand, Margaret went
over to the city.
The Peoples bank, corner of Wash
ington and Main streets" 1t was not
hard to find. Anyone could direct
her-it had figured so prominently be-
fore the public lately.
She found others there, who had
come for what little remained of their
money. Among them was one of old
Fritz's boys, and by him she stood to
wait her turn. At the window the
teller took her book from her unre-
sisting hand
He looked at her in surprise and then
at her.
What made you think you had
money with us?" he asked.
She pointed to the book.
Cant you read?" he asked, roughly.
She shook her head.
Old Frit2's son stepped up. MY
father put her money in here for her"
The clerk handed him the bank
book, pointing to the name on the out
side.

Il" He drew Margaret away from
the window and led her out of the
building.
Wouldn't they even give me my
little bite" she asked dazed and con.
fused, as he hurried her across the
street.
"Hush!'' answered the young man,
with almost sob in his voice. at
seems too good to be true!"
They entered another building. He
led her to a window in the brass screen
| that divided the room, and handed her
book with few words of explanation
to brisll-loolSing man behind.
Then the old woman realized that
the teller, as we'll as those near by, was
regarding her curiously. She heard

the questions put to her as from great
distance, and realized vaguely that she
was trying to answer them somehow.
She looked from one to the other in
bewilderment.
81 don't understand" she began,
mildly. "What is ito" and her rough
old hands went out feebly in beseech-
ing helplessness.
Don't you see?" she heard old Fritz's
boy saying. Father, he can't read
English; he thought he was going to
the Peoples bank, but he really came
to this bank on the opposite corner
Your money never was in the Peoples
you can get it as soon as you need it
to pay for the home, all of it. Your
book says: The Bank of Commerce,
and we none of us ever knew it,"
She understood enough of his ex-
PLANTATION to realize that her money
was safe-her John, herself, their old
age still provided for.
There was feeble cry, and in the
big, crowded bank old Margaret fell
on her knees,
you'll forgive me, Lord You'll for
give me from turnin' from You when
thought it was gonel You know, Lord,
what years it took to get tan I'm an
old woman an weak-You'll forgive
me"
1t was the brisk teller who lifted her
tenderly to her feet, while more than
one man turned that his neighbor
might not see his moist eyes. Then old
Fritz boy, picking up her bank book,
took Margaret down to the ferry and
saw her safely across.
But it was old Fritz himself who
came over that evening, his honest red
face beaming behind the tears that
rolled down his cheeks.
''Fader i'm Himmel," he cried, "mine

A brisk little old woman moved on
of the shadow of the door and cam,
down the path to the gate.
Good evening to you, Mr.. Bruner,
she began. Il looked for you on the

mysteriously. Gould you kindly stoI

Old Fritz followed her in without
further speech, and nodded silently to
her husband, an emaciated paralytic
propped in big chair by the open door.
ITS about our bit of money, Mr.
Bruner," began the sick man, apologet-
ically, passing his thin hand nervously
over the worn tops of the crutches by
his side. We've got kind of anxious
about having it here -

Fritz nodded slowly and approvingly.
'How mooch you got?' he inquired.
1t was to John Hilliard he spoke, but
Margaret fastened to answer:
Its just six months more I've got to
work at the mill, Mr.. Bruner, and well
have enough to buy a home, John an
me, an I'll never have to leave him by
himself any more. Not that Mis- Bru-

Just yesterday my brother came to say
that a place not mile from himll be
