A WOMAN'S WAY OUT OF IT.
She Scored Victory by Starting a
Discussion on BIoomers.

The new woman Smoothed out her
boomers and looked at her husband
thoughtfully for few minutes before
speaking.
Henry" she said at last, there is a
little point in parliamentary law that l
would like to discuss with you"
His bosom swelled with pride, for it
was not often that she came to him for
information or advice, now that she had
assumed bifurcated garments.
There are some rather intricate
points in the rules of parliamentary
procedure that would puzzle a novice"
he asserted, and the deeper you get in
public life the more convinced you will
become that it is a right handy thing
to have the old man around occasional
ly to refer complicated questions to.
What is it you want to get at noW?"
why, you see, a most important
matter came up at the meeting of our
club last night" she explained, land
just as we were about to take vote on
it 1 discovered that 1 was backed by a
minority only. Consequently it was ne
cessary to postpone action, and the
question with me was how it could be
done"
She paused and he knitted his browS
and looked wise.
THE other side had a good working
majority, 1 suppose?" he said inquir-
ingly.
"Oh, yes" she answered. Il found
that we didn't have a ghost of a show
as matters stood then"
Eyes, yes, of course" he said,
thoughtfully. Il admit it was rather
d knotty problem for a novice to solve,
and yet there are several things that
could be done with some promise of sue
cess, although not with certainty.
Now, if 1 had been there L"

TERRIERS FAITHFUL WATCH.
Touching Display of Affection by a
Dog i'm a Crowded Street.

A touching exhibition of brute affec-
ton and fidelity was witnessed the
other evening by many persons in
Smithfield street. For five hours a ter
rier watched the body of dead pug,
driving away every person who at
tempted to approach, says the Pitts
burg Dispatch
About 4 o'clock in the afternoon q
Birmingham car ran over and killed
dun-colored pug on Smithfield street in
front of the office of the '"Volksblaat,
near Virgin alley The tragedy was
seen by a small frowsy terrier, who ran
UP to the dead and bleeding body and
smelled it, He uttered plaintive whine
or two licked the corpse and then lay
down on the pavement beside it. An
other car came rafting along and drove
the terrier to one side. He continued
his watching at distance.
When any person crossed the street
near the body the terrier flew at him
and barked viciously. He made no at
tempt to bite any one, but showed his
teeth AS soon as the intruder turned
away the terrier ceased his barking and
lay down again on the pavement. Part
of the time he sat on the sidewalk, but
he was instantly in the street if any
man, woman or child came within six
feet of the carcass. Bootblacks and
newsboys approached the body closely
for the purpose of aggravating the ter
rier. and he chased some of them several
rods.
All attempts to coax him were una
vailing Now and then he ran out into
the street, smelled at the body and
dropped a tear. He had several narrow
escapes from passing cars. The strang-
est incident occurred about 6 o'clock. A
passing wagon touched the dead dog
terrier instantly darted forth, seized the
body and dragged it foot from the
rail. 1t must have been that he wanted
TO protect the body from further multi
alton. Many persons who witnessed the
act were astoniShed.
During the evening the sidewalks on
both sides of the street were lined with
men and boys, watching the peculiar
proceeding. Some of the City Hall men
feared that the faithful terrier would
meet death himself. Inspector Nickel
vev hired two bootblacks to end the
affair. One of them teased the terrier
and enticed him some distance away,
when the other boy snatched up the car
cass' and ran with it down Virgin alley.
The terrier returned, and for half an
hour searched up and down the street.
At last he gave up, and sadly trotted off
M Virgin alley toward Grant street

Gladness Comes

yht: :th better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical Ills, which vanish before proper ef-
forts-gentle 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
Iy 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.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
ard the system is regular, laxatIves or
other remedies are then not needed Il
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slzillful
physicians. but if in need of q laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
useo and gives most general satisfaction.
