Gladness Comes

yHIith better understanding OF the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef-
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 condf-
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 Its benenclai
effects are due to the fact, that 1t Is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating 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 Dy
all reputable druggists
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatlveS or
other remedies are then not needed Ii
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sklllful
physicians, but if in need of 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.

Betting On the Fight.

NEW YORK, Feb. %. There was
very little betting in this city on
the result Of the FitZsimmons-
Maher fight. Billy Edwards was
seen at the Fifth Avenue hotel.
He held some money but not much
to speak of. j. Dunn, the old time
referee, was at the Hoffman house.
He said he had not bet anything on
the affair.
Billy West managed to get some
money down on Fitzsimmons. A.
l.. Smith, who arrived from FL
Paso, was at the Gilsey house and
tried to assure a few doubling
friends that the battle would Ger.
tainly come off. Smith said he
had not wsgered much on the con-
test and what little money he bet
was on Fitzsimmons.

Smith, sand he told me he was
confident Fitzsimmons would win,
because he was afraid Maher would

mons and I'll back him for any
amount. FitZsimmons ia my
opinion has aged considerably and
did not look very we'll when / saw
him last"
At the Marlborough, Imperial,
Grand, Coleman and the Lincoln
hotels few bets were made.
George Jones, Of Baltimore, and
Dave Houslinger, Of Frisco, each
wagered $500 on Maher to win.
They got fair odds. Ed. Nail won
several thousand dollars on Fitz.
simmons and his friend JEFF. Jack
son also won some coin.
The largest wager of the day was
recorded at the Marlborough. Dan
Certify, Of Boston, bet G. l.. Fox,
of Ohio, $1,000 to $1,000 on Fitz-
simmons. He got the money down
just before the news of Fltzsim-
mons victory was made known.
