ELUSIVE, rs girl greetings always arc
when they are on any sort of good

eyed girl.
And after that do you say what you
do about men?" and the blue-eyed girls
eyes grew moist.
She was an awfully good girl, with
real old-fogy notions about love and
rapture and all that sort of thing.
Indeed, l do retorted the brown
eyed girl, "and why shouldn't I?"
Because, dear, it sounds cold and
cruel and heartless, rs no woman should
be. Love is tho greatest thing In the
world. and none of us can happily ig-
nore it or treat it as II material feeling.
What did Frank do or say that you
should talk so differently from your

equal his record. as he was evidently

run. In the quarter mile run he met a
tartar in Burke of Boston, the worlds
champion quarter miller. Burke led from
the crack of the pistol. Wefers doggedly

Gladness Comes

With n better understanding of the
" transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
~forts-gentle efforts-pleasant Efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with m~illionsof families, andis
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that tits the
n remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order TO get its hene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laXatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
