Gladness Comes

With . better understanding of the
 W transient nature of the many phys ical ills. which vanish before proper ef. forts-gentle cfforts-pleasante 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. ton of the system, which the pleassnt family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt- ly removes. That is why it $ 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 facilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene- fciAl effects. to note when you pnr- chase. that you have the genuine arti- ele, which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists.
 If in the enjoyment of good he.lts, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afiiicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need If laxative, enc should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely uDsa and gives most general sA.ss4action

great, great grandmother. A woman
who can smile and be tickled like she
was never can or will get old. On ac-
count OF her happy disposition IL Is
hard 10 tell when her day was. but II Is
quite sure that in her day she was the
beauty OF the parish. Mr.. Encch. the
deputy probate judge. II such an office
exists, had caught the smiling maiady
and he. too. smiled
There was some trouble about the age
of Miss Moreland- She was seventeen
sweet, biushing, joyous, happy, merry
seventeen-and she did not have the
written consent OF her parents. II look
for a while that all the smiles would be
turned to frowns and that George Cobb
had bitten into the tempting fruit only
to feel ashes grinding on his tongue.
Enoch felt sorry for him and the re-
porter for the Eagle must confess that
he believed the dOg-gone laws. customs
and traditions OF the probate court were
too rigid and frigid. What are laws for
anyway but 10 make people happy.
Judge Myatt had pale and serious look
on his face and he was evidently deba1-
ing whether il would be more preferable
10 break the custom and rule OF his Of
young people. A beam OF sunshine stole
through the curtains like a favorable
message from that far of place where
all marriages should be made and light
ed up his face. Then, he doubtless
thought OF the day when ne himself led
a fair faced dark eyed little bride 10 the
altar. The life and actions OF good
man are always made UP from these lit
tie inspirations and the judge compro-
missed with his conscience and the Gus
tom Of his once and agreed 20 make the
couple happy by George swear-
that he had Ada's mothers
consent last Tuesday night The
grandfather also swore that he
knew Mrs. AIoreland had given her con-
sent TO the marriage.
Then they all entered the parior OF the
probate court and tne reporter peeped
through a crack. The mystic words
were uttered, the hands were Joined end
George and Ada were pronounced man
and wife. Then Ada looked up into
Georges eyes, blush mounted her
cheeks and curl pursed her ruby dps.
George didn't understand her actions
for a moment, he fumbled at last and
stopping way down he sealed their
happy compact with a kiss-not g for
NAL cold society kiss but deep and
soulful kiss that reached down and
gathered up the honey.
You can go to the circus now" said
Judge MyatE-
Ada turned her Twinkiing eyes fuH
upon him and said: mo. Judge. this is
circus enough for one day"
All smiled again but the old man and
went away happy.
