Gludness Comes

With a better understanding OF the
wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle eefforts-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 n 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. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes Internal
cleanliness, without debittating the
organs on which it acts. tits therefore
/ ali important, in order to get its bene-
| ficial effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the CaIifornia
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
! utable druggists.
II in the enjoyment OF good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
! tives or other remedies are not needed.
II afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slillful
physicians, but IL in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup oi
Figs stands highest and is most largely
usedand gives most general satisfaction

PERHAPs SAM BRowx.-Early last even
ing specimen OF the "Weary Waggles"
tribe came to the university dormitorY
and asked for somt thing To eat. He was
set out good substantial lunch in the
basement OF the building and he fell to
disposing of the mainstay of life in way
characteristic OF the man who eats only
when he gets good opportunity. Short
ly afterward the basement was vacated
by every one except his trampship and
the cook. The cook commenced asking
the man questions regarding his previous
and future wanderings, etc., at the same
time noticing that the man acted strange
ly, refusing TO answer some OF his ques-
tions. As soon as the knight OF the
road" had satisfied his cravings for the
necessaries OF life. he arose to his feet,
whipped out an ugly looking "A revolver
and chased the cook up stairs following
him closely. When they reached the
ground floor, the tramp took to his heels
and disappeared in the whereness OF the
whethefness.-Eugene Register.

4 Live Brownsville Affair.

II is indeed strange how many peculiar
and unnatural things liquor will some
times prompt men to do when under its
influence. Last Friday we had q strik-
ing illustration along this very line.
Hugh Blakely and Walter Hasbrouck are
attending the South Side school, and it
appears that tie boys were feeling little
mischieyous, and wrote upon their
states the name "Foust" which was pre-
ceded by some word that at . distant re-
ssmbled vulgarity and exhibited the same
to Gideon Foast's little girl, who took
it as an insult, and informed her papa OF
the fact. Mr. Eoust had been drinking
little hell water, and getting revolver
proceeded TO the school house to have a
settlement. He arrived there at the last
recess when all concerned were called IN,
and an investigation into the facts was
instituted. While Hugh was making q
statement Gideon called out, sYou're 9
liar" which was responded to by Hugh
in a similar ungentlemanly manner,
when Gideon pulled his revolver, Henry
Blakely was present and inter
ceded, taking the revolver from Mr.
Foust, who, however, made no attempt
to use il. The following Monday whe1
the irate tather had become himself, ht
saw his great wrong, and Immediately
went to the school house and acknowl-
edged the fact to all those concerned, ,ant
the matter has now been dropped.

BALD HRAps TO THE FBoSr bald
heads of Albany who have been meeting
at Louis Vierecks seem 10 have counter
parts in Eugene according to the Guard,
which SAYS: There used to be lots of
bald headed men, and women too. in
Eugene but there isn't any more. About
three months ago these hairless deni-
zens put their heads together in private
consultation for their own mutual good,
with the result that bald head club
was organized, with place of meeting al
Jerry Horns barber shop. And now
these men who have for so long been de-
frauding the honest and hard working
barber out OF few cents for cutting their
hair visit this place OF business quite fire.
quently 70 have the smooth and glossy
surface OF their upper sphere raked and
scraped and rubbed and scrubbed until
the blood oozes ont in the places where
the hair ought TO be. But they don't
mind this. They would be willing to 60
through the severest test il they were
only inspired with confidence in the as
surance that said test would bring back
the long lost but still longed for hair.
And the scheme is succeeding admirably
as several members OF the club can tes-
| tify to.
