None But Ayers at the worId's Fair.
Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the extra
ordinary distinction of having been the
only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at
the worlds fair, Chicago. Manufact-
urers of other sarsaparillas sought by
every means to obtain a showing of their
goods, but they were all turned away
under the application of the rule for
bidding the entry of patent medicines
and nostrums. The decision of the
worlds fair authorities in favor of Ayers
Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows
ayers Sarsaparilla is not patent
medicine. 1t does not belong to the
list of nostrums. It is here on its
merits''

EDITOR CHRONICLE :

EDITOR CHRONICLE:
Mrs. Kline of The Dalles, who has
been visiting friends 1nstLis vicinity, re-
turned home on the local on Saturday.
Geo. Davenport, one of our Mosier
boys, now in the commission business in
Portland, was shaking hands with
friends here last week, and com bined
business with pleasure in looking up the
fruit business.
The complimentary article in your
issue of the 18th, regarding the ship
ment of fruit from this place, does not
do the fruit ralsers justice. Instead of
the car loaded last week being the first
it was nearer the eighth that has been
loaded here.
G. A. Bryant & Co. shipped car of
silica to New York on Saturday and an
other carload is at the station ready for
shipment.
Messrs. Hays and Cotter of the audi
tors Office of the o. R. & N. Co. of Port
land, came up on the local yesterday
looking for Indian relics and curios.
They returned on the afternoon train.
If anyone should doubt that Mosier-
ties can whoop-em-up, they should call
on some of our people where there are
eight or ten in the family, all afflicted
with the prevailing cough, when all such
doubt will be removed.

mobiles who had followed Zibalbay to
the crest OF the pyramid gave way be-
fore their rush, leaving the three of us
and the lady Maya standing alone.
''Cowards!" cried Zibalbay, glancing
behind him. Then he drew his ma
chete, and with a shout cut down the
foremost of those who aSSailed uS-a
great noble. In another instant the
weapon was struck from him. and the
senior and l were being dragged toward
the altar. followed by Zibalbay and the
lady Maya, upon whom, however, our
aSSallantS laid no hand.
What shall we do with these men?''
cried Tikal again.
And again the mobiles answered: kill

Then they threw US down. and men
came at us with swords to make an end
of us. which they would have done
quickly had not the lady MAYA sprung
forward, and standing over the senior
cried: Hold" in SO piercing voice that
they stayed their hands.
Listen, People of the Heart" she
said; would you do murder upon your
own holy altar, staining it with the
broken laws. Is there not a law in the
city that none can be put to death ex-
cept after trial before the cacique and
his council?. Have these men been tried,
and if SO, by whom? You say that my
father, your lawful ruler, is deposed.
If that is so, not Tika1, but /. who am
his heir. rule in his stead, and I have
passed no Judgment on them"
Now. at her words there was a muir
muir of mingled doubt and applause,
but Tikal answered her saying:
Lady, you have appealed to the law
on behalf of these wanderers, of your
father and of yourself, and by the law
you shall be dealt with. Tomorrow the
judges shall be chosen and hold their
court here before the people,"
1T cannot be. Tikal." she answered
calmly. There is but one cocrt which

senior, with something between a sob
and laugh. as we followed Zibalbay
and Maya into the guard house.
So soon as we were in the door was
shut upon US, leaving us alone. Zibal-
bay sat himself down. but the rest of
us stood together near the door listen
ing to the turmoil of the multitude
without. Clearly argument ran high
among them, for we could hear the
sound of angry voices, of shouting.
You have saved our lives for awhile.

He tumbled from his weary wheel.
And set it by the door:
Then stood as though he joyed to feel
His feet on earth once more;
And as he mopped his rumpled head,
His face was wreathed in smiles:
"a very pretty rum" he said:
IT did hundred milesi'
"a hundred miles," cried. "Ah, think!
What beauties you have seen!
The reedy streams where cattle drink.
The meadows rich and green,
Where did you wend your rapid way.
Through lofty woodland aisles?"
He shook his head. 81 cannot say:

what hamlets saw your swift tires spin ?

pound cans are unquestionably
the best put up in the States.
We have Sliced Lemon Cling

Apricots and Bartlett Pears

syrup. They are the most
delicious fruits imaginable.
Then we have cheaper grades,

recently the farmers of Cali

which we sell for a great deal
less money. You would imagine
they came from the suburbs
of Paree. Another elegant

are new here.
In syrups we have Forest

like maple can get Crystal
