earns more, more is taken away from
him by the rulers Of the land. The gen.

M/ith q better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
3cal ills, which vanish before proper eff
fOrts-gentle efforts-pleasanteffo forts
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 constipated condi-
tion Of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
1y removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
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.
IT 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 slkillful
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

in the exchangeablc value of the two
metals will be done whenever il be-
comes necessary, and, although silver
dollars and silver certificates have not,
up to the present time, been received
in exchange for gold, yet, if the time
shall ever come when the parity can
not be otherwise maintained, such ex-
changes will be made. IL is the duty
of the Secretary Of the Treasury and of
all other public officials to execute in
good faith the policy declared by
Congress, and whenever he shall be
satisfied that the silver dollar can not
be kept equal in purchasing power
with the gold dollar, except by re-
receiving it in exchange for the gold
dollar when such exchange is demand
ed, il will be his duty to adopt that
course. But if our present policy is
adhered TO and the coinage Is kept
within reasonable limits the means
heretofore employed for the mainte-
nance of the parity will doubtless be
found sufficient in the future, and our
silver dollars aud silver certificates
will continue TO circulate at par with
gold, thus enabling the people to use
both metals instead of one only, as
would be the case if the parity were
destroyed by free coinage.

A MODERN JOHN GILpIN

Fiji Bryan was a citizen
OF credit and renown,
A fuil-hedged candidate was he
OF famous Lincoln town.
Bin Bryan's wife said to him: Dear,
Though welded we have been
These several tedious years, yet we
No holiday have seen.
s'You know that on convention day
Yon made a big sensation;
You said the piece l wrote for you
And got the nomination.
$50, Billy, LET US take a trip
From here TO New York city,
To miss "A splendid chance to spout.
Would be an awful pity.
"We'll advertise our journey well,
And take train that's slow;
Then we can shake the rustic hands
While you your bugle blow.
''of course you know the train will stop
AT every eross-road station;
I'll smile upon the yokels, and
Iou'll give them an oation.
.'Of course don't believe one bit
You'll ever be elected.
But then we can have lots of fun
Before you're marked rejected"
They went, and as they journeyed east,
With more or less velocity,
The people thronged around them, but
Twas all sheer curiosity.
Round went the wheels, on sped the train.
The people all seemed glad:
They listened 10 his silver talk
And said: ''The fellows mad"
Bill Bryan went from Town TO town,
But found il was no joke:
His faithful spouse she stuck to him
At every place he spoke.
Unlike his Gilpin prototype,
They eonldn't lose each other;
he found a woman viii sometimes
.-Siick closer than brother"
And even up AT Wolfert's Roost,
'Gainst everybody's will,
She couldn't let her Billy have
A quiet snack with Hill.
It was no use, she wouldn't leave
Her hubby for one minute;
Says she. when Billy shows himself
I'm going to be in it,
And Billy seemed quite satisfied,
o'erjoyed was he to find
That since on plea sure she was bent
She wouldn't be left behind.
SO here's long life to Bryan's wife.
And Bryan, long live he;
But If he 10 the White House goes
/ wont be there 10 see.

A Sleeping Car Episode.

Lots offanny things happen on sleep
ing cars. Every travelling man can
tell you many stories concerning them.
Here is one that occurred on tine New
York Central. Ii was about d o'clock
one morning last midwinter that the
occupants of the Wagner were aroused
from their slumhers by vigorous
hucolic voice from middle section.
'Ston thai womau," it cried 'she's
got my pants and all my money"
The porter dashed up the aisle in
time to see female figure disappear
through the door of the ladies' dressing
room. An explanation from the owns
eF of the big voice, who had jumped
out OF the upper berth in his haloon-
like jeans, demonstrated that his trous-
ers had indeed gone. A vigorous
humping on the door of the dressing
room ensued, the porter calling out :
''Come out at once, madam, and give
the gentleman his pants.n
"How dare you, sir -" came the in
dignant and almost hysterical reply.
'Go away-go away, | say. I'll report
you. I'll have you arrested. Call the
conductor" and so on.
That pompous and be-buttoned in-
dividual WAS called, and he, too, be-
coming convinced that those indispen-
sable parts of masculine attire, togeth-
er with the money they contained, had
been puTloined, also demanded that
the lady should emerge and give them
up. More indignation and more hys-
terical outbursts, followed hy threats to
sue the company for this insult to an
unprotected female. Finally she came
out, an aged, angular, bespecked indi-
yidual, with eyes flashing and giving
utteranee TO running fire of all the
dire things that would happen when
she would communicate with her hus-
band and lawyers.
"There she is" shouted the owner
OF the missing garments, land she's
got 'em on"
Sure enough, she had, and all the
occupants of the car, who had their
heads through the curtain by this time,
roared with'laughter. There they were,
snugly wrapped around her shoulders,
She had occupied the berth below the
farmer, and in the dim light of the car
had taken his neither garments, pom
derous and unshapely affairs, from the
hook where they had been hanging,
mistaking them for own wrap, which
turned out to be almost the same color.
No suit was brought against the com.
pany. And this story is really true
