A congressman is public servant in the

He is responsible to his c0nst tuents, to
his party. to himself-the honorable office

responsibility.
Congressman William w. Grout is CRATE

work had well nigh exhausted his health
and strength. His letter reads

THE PARSEE EDISON.
Says the X Rays Have Long Been Know
to Eastern Scientists.

Says the X Rays Have Long Been Known
to Eastern Scientists.
The "Parsee Edison is in New York.
He was the first lecturer ON the electric
al light i'll India and is here to learn
psychical powers and to show to the
people the existence of spiritual powers.
He says the X ray is wonderful thing,
as recently developed, but also claims
that it is back number, it being a
lower manifestation of the astral light
on the psychical plane, and as such has
long been known to eastern occultists.
He admits, however, that the east has
never known in its physical bearing the
x ray, and he expects to have lots of fun
with it when he returns home.
The "Parsee Edison" never leaves his
head uncovered, wearing a turban by
day and a tight fitting skullcap at night.
The magnetic extremities Of the body he
believes should always be covered, SO as
to prevent the loss of vital magnetism,
which is otherwise passing out of the
body and being wasted.
Before he finishes his peculiar mission
nightcaps fashioned after those worn by
our grandfathers may be placed on sale,
especially if the Parsee teacher becomes

HUNTING PERUVIAN GAME.
An Englishman's Account of His Fine
sport In the Highlands.


sport In the Highlands.
Hunting in the highlands Of Peru is a
very enjoyable if little known sport, &c.
cording to an Englishman who spent
some days hunting from $4,000 10 49,
600 feet above the sea ON grassy plains
or in valleys surrounded by high noun
tains. There is considerable small
game-snipe, ducks, Gull cub "a kind of
grouse) and quivio "a kind Of guinea
fowD-but the game a sportsman out
for day or two seeks is vicuna and al
paca. The vicuna is the wild llama and
is shy animal with great vitality, re
curing neck or shoulder shots to kill.
The alpaca is the mountain vicuna, liv-
ing ON the coarse and scanty forage of
its home region. Its wool is foot long,
but SO curly and fine that it fits to its
body like darky's hair. Both are relat-
ed closely to the guanaco of the Pata-
gonia deserts, which sometimes wanders
| into the uplands of Peru.
The Englishman carried a 44-40
American rifle and l6 gauge shotgun
for small game.
Entering large pampa. J" he writes,
1--WE sighted herd Of vicuna. We tried
to ride around them. but they made off,
| passing Ashmore at about 200 yards.
| Lying down, he opened fire, and fine
specimen rolled over. We cleaned it,
loaded it ON to pack mule and rode on,
/ soon striking another herd Of seven,
which at once made off, but my second
shot at 140 yards dropped one dead. This
we took. and soon after bagged two
brace of culi-culi. -
That night the hunters rolled up in
their blankets ON the mud floor of hut
Hammocks strung from post to post
would have been better. Next day, after
a restful night, they began to shoot the
valley adjacent to Caraguiri. Some of
the writer's bullets hit two vicuna at
1870 yards, and some Of the others hit the
valley. The dead animals were loaded
on the pack mules, and after going over
the summit of an Is, 900 foot mountain
the hunters had the rare good fortune
for that region of jumping seven guiana
CO, which ran too fast for the mules the
men rode and struck q gait across the
pampa discouraging to the hunters.
"But leaping from my mule, says
the writer, land sighting my rifle al
400 yards. dropped bullet ahead OF
them, and the bunch of dust scared
them to standstill. l then pumped
the remaining nine bullets into the
herd, and two fell dead. F"
A $3.50 rifle would have been better
for such long range work, and a 40S:
still better, but no matter, the guanaco
were killed. One was 40 inches high a
the shoulder and weighed 140 pound
dressed. The other was SO inches higl
and weighed 70 pounds dressed.
The total bag was two guanacos, sew
en- vcuna, seven brace Of culi-culi, on
brace of quivio. five ducks, three snipe
and no end of fun. The end of the hun

regulated by the nerves, and when these
vital tissues become iatigued and badly
nourished, the bad effect is seen in failing
digestion, distressing, ringing sounds in the
ears, dizzy spells. depr; ssion, neuralgia and
lassitude. Spring days afford every one the
opportunity for shaking oil old weaknesses
and persistent disorders.
Physicians OF every school have been
from the start urged TO inquire into the
formula Of Paine's celery compound, that
they might satisfy themselves of its WON
derful power of making the sick well. Prof
Edward L. Phelps, NJ d., Ii. D., as soon as
he presented Paine's celery compound to
his fellow physi' ians, was always anxious
to have the invigorator tried in cases that
had resisted the usual methods of treat
ment, that he might prove the truth of
every clam made for his newly discovered
formula for Paine's celery compound. The
great remedy always gave relief, and in 80
cases out of leo made people we'll.
Paine's celery compound cannot be judged

sarsaparilla or nerve tonic. 1t is great
modern, scientific discovery, singularly un-

With better understanding of the
w 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, Syrupof Figs, prompt
ly 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. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. Its therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when YOU pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sllillful
physicians, but il in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
usedand gives most general satisfaction.

Mark wanted Willie to climb up and get

1t was bad enough to play hockey with

however, said he was not going away
without it, and so he climbed and got it,
and when he was on the ground he asked
Willie which he would rather have, the
nest or the eggs, and Willie took the
nest. But when they We're almost home
he handed it back to Mark and said:
You've eat the eggs and have nothing to

for the fresh paint sign over his door.
That little house on the corner was
known as the Niles Pudding company for
many years. You know the major was
born in Niles Some people get an idea
he was born here. But that is mistake.
1t was not his fault, however. There is
no sign on the little house, you will OBJ
serve. The word Mckinley was painted
over that of Niles. There is the McKin-
ley viaduct-used to be known as the
Harrison foot bridge. The Mckinley
church is right around the corner, and
the little Mckinley red school is in the
rear. Do you see that beautiful red rose
