\N/lth better understanding OF the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
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 n constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of 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 facilitating the
organs on which 1t 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.
II, in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a 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.

Grants Game Of humble the Peg.

An old citizen of Georgetown, O., re-
lates the following incident:
IA favorite game with the boys of John
d. Whites subscription school at George
town was humble the peg. Grant couldn t
play the game very skillfully, and the peg
always got few clandestine licks every
time he was to pull 1t. On one occasion IL
was driven In so deep that the boys thought
Lys could never get 1t out. He set to work
with his forehead down in the dirt, tho
sun beating hot upon him, and the crowd
of boys and girls shutting out every breath
OF fresh air. The peg would not move
Tho red faced, shock headed, thickset boy,
with his face all over mud, had forgotten
his comrades and saw only one thing In
the world-that was this stubborn peg. The
bell rang, but the boy did not hear 1t.
"A minute later, after n final effort, he
staggered to his feet with the peg in his
month. The old schoolmaster was in the
door Of the schoolhouse, with his long
beech switch, the only person to be seen.
There was glee inside at this new develop
meDt Here was fun the boys had not
counted on. Imagine their surprise when,
as the boy came closer, and the stern old
schoolmaster saw his face, he set down the
switch inside the door and came outside.
One boy slipped to the window and report.

water on Lys Grants hands and having
him wash his face. He gave him his red

GENESIS OF ARISTOCRACY.
somc OF the Men Who Founded Prinoely
Houses.

Sune of the Men Who Founded Princely
Houses.
History shows that aristocracy Is an in
stance of the survival of the fittest. In the
days of personal violence it was those who
could give and take the hardest knocks
that became the founders of princely
houses, and Napoleon's campaigns and
England's colonial wars demonstrate that
the principle Is still valid. But the old
conditions though they have not changed
at ALL have been much modified by cir
cumstanoes, and what the man Of iron was
of yore the man Of gold Is today. The mer-
chant prince, the cotton lord, the Napo-
leon OF Hnance, arc the men who give and
take the hard knocks in our day, and the
result Is the same. For bonefting them
selves they are rewarded with titles and
honors abroad, with adulation at home,
and escutobeons still mean that their pos
SCISSORS have triumphed In the struggle for
life. The means employed have changed.
The moated grange and the battleax have
been replaced by the counting house and
the checkbook, but the principle remains
Might, not right, Is what Is worshiped
or feared today as In the times of Richard
Plantagenet. The medieval conditions
have persisted with the medieval attitude
of man. So. having defeated his enemies
triumphed over difficulties and acquired
wealth, which Is power, man intrigues for
a title in Europe and drives to the station
er's to order coat of arms at home, and
here, as abroad, the descendants Of the fit
test of earlier generations who are not Of
ficient fighters themselves are pushed to
the wall by the strong men Of the day, as
has been the case since feudalism was born
Of the dark ages. A poor aristocracy can
persist only In poor country like Ger
many, where, moreover, the military sys-
tenn fosters it by supplying 1t with its he
reditary ccupation-soldiering. But in
nation the poor aristocrat dis
appears to make place for new aristocra.
~ that has won the favors of the golden
calf. And SO 1t has always been, for it Is
4 historical fact that certain medieval
English peer was deprived of his rank be-
,ause he did not have the means to uphold
ts dignity with lavish display.
