Having met with the highest Sue
cess in the manufacture and sale of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value Of the remedy rs u medi-
cinal agent, and of the CUmpany's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup 90. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose OF
manufacturing and selling laxative
remedy, which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more benC-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manufact-
uring, figs are used, as they are
pleasant to the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and TO act most benelicially.
II in the enjoyment OF good health
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. II afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but il
in need of laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup oil
Figs stands highest and is mos,
largely used and gives most genera
satisfaction.

In the Woods In summer.

IN the Noous IN summer.
These mighty trees with their centuries
OF miracles of wood,
Like their sires who stood before the flood.
Mock at mems perjuries.
Under the screen OF this forest green.
Unheeded by human eye,
The passions die like sounds In the sky
And my spirit walks serene,
The shining sun may his journey run
Through sky of cloudless blue,
Yet the morning hue OF the fragrant dew
Here waits like kiss unwon.
The winds may blow or their flights forego
On the treeess plain and hill;
Here all is still save the tinkling rill
Or bird note lone and low.
Here the squirrel peers with uplifted ears.
And the rabbit stops to stare,
And the woodmice dare TO seem TO scare
And Jest with their own fears.
IT'S a precious boom on a summer noon
Through the ancient aisles TO stray,
Where the shadows play like wood nymphI
gay
While summer takes of her shoon.
The sounds which jar. the things which mar
The ills which sting the heart.
Here have no part or lose their smart
From the babbling world afar.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,

for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me-
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.

that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have a complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received lot of the

not buy or try to drive horse that has

friend who comes into market three times
a week some time ago got such horse, and
the animal did well enough until one night
about O'Clock as he was coming in with a
load the fire bells rung as he was passing
an engine house. The old horse pricked up
his ears and threw up his tail, and when
the engine came out he took after it at q
gallop. All efforts to hold him were In
vain. He was going to the fire, and he got
there, too, as soon as the engine did, though
he left some of his load on every block or
the road.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

A wanderer.
Better it were for the world, l say,
Better indeed for a mans own good,
That he should sit still where he was born.
Be 1t land OF sand or of oil and corn,
White sea border or great black wood,
Bleak white winter or bland sweet May,
Than to wander the world. as / have done,
For the one dear woman that is under the
sun.
Better abide, though the skies be dun,
And the rivers espoused of the ice and snow
Better abide, though the thistles grow,
And the city of smoke be obscured of the sun
Than to seek red roppies and the sweet
dreamland-
Than to wander the world, as today,
Breaking the heart into bits like clay.
And leaving 1t scattered upon every hand.

MCKINLEY AND PRITcHARD.

These two great statesmen and apos-
ties of the doctrine Of Make the Peo-
pie Prosperous by Increasing Their
Taxes" spoke in Chicago Wednesday
night Mr. Mckinley made very elab-
crate speech, which he had evidently
prepared as the statement of the views
upon which his candidacy must rest.
lie grew eloquent upon his patent plan
Of enriching the people by taxation.
Upon the money question he said;
ut (the Republican partly stands
now, as ever, for honest money, and a
chance 10 earn ii by honest toll II
stands for n currency OF gold, silver
and paper with which to measure our
exchanges that shall be MS sound as
the government and as untaruished as

would as soon think of lowering the
flag of our country as to contemplate
with patience or without protest and
opposition amy attempt to degrade or
corrupt the medium of exchanges a
mong our people 1t can be relied
upon i'm the future as in the past TO
supply our country with the best mon
ey ever gold, SILVER and paper
good the world over"
There is purposely enough of ambg-
nifty here to enable the candidate to
look two ways for Sunday But the
statement that the Republican party
stands now, as ever" is a defence Of
decentralization and a declaration that
the gold men understand, with just
enough "sIoshing'' to enable the politi-
clans to deceive those silver men who
want to be deceived.
Senator Pritchard confined himself
to the tariff, drawing a picture of the
prosperity which the Mckinley bill
brought to all classes Of the country.
He said: "From the moment it became
a law the business interest of the coun-
try acquired new impetus, and on ey-
cry hand could be seen evidences Of re-
newed prosperity" When the people
saw and felt the hard times caused by
the Mckinley act, they repudiated it
and it's author by unprecedented MAJ
