heroic effort he succeeded in getting his
horse from under it, barely making his

MIith 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 IL is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly 10y all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due 10 the fact, that ii 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 by
all reputable druggists.
If 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 laxative.
one should have the best, and with tho
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

 Few really long distance trips on tandems have ever been heard of, but the most notable one on record was that taken in June and July by the Hess brothers of Lebanon, Pa., who covered exactly 3,5S5 miles on their Crescent tandem, riding from Leb- anon to San Francisco. Speaking re- gently of their journey, one of the brothers said:
 ''We believe that this was the first tandem ever ridden across the conti- ueul u WdS TluueH ny us COHuluu- ously over mountains, deserts and prairies, and arrived at its destination in frst-class condition. This was probably the most severe test ever put upon machine of its description on this continent.

HER ADVENTURE.
The New Woman Reporter Tells of
 One,

Speaking of adventures" said the new woman reporter of the Los An geles Record, as she dusted a tub full of commencement programmes from her desk with the city editors hat Speaking of adventures, the most awful I ever had was when my dear chum, Sally Alley yacame in from Gar vanza one frightfll night As we sat on the bed preparing to retire, Sally suddenly cried with an unearthly shriek, There he is,' and tainted in the pillows without further explana- tion. 4f,ss
 T gathered myafeet safely off the floor and cautiously peeped under the bed for the horr5d burglar. But he wasn't there. Then I looked at the pole over the bed and there was a wretched little mouse perched on, his miserable little tail right on that ghastly pole with those fiendish, beady eyes glaring down at me like those of some colossal demon ready to tear my heart out and ally's, too. Then I took Sally's poor little slipper from her hear, inanimate foot and with a des- peration born of frenzy, I hurled it straight at the demoniac fire that burned in those unoamny eyes.
 AS soon as that devilish glance was obscured by the slipper, and I saw that horrible tail moving toward the window with Saalys lovely slipper close on it, I relaxed completely and only had time ito ring for some nice cold water, and faint right over Sally. J And the new woman editor plucked her hat pin from out the poets leg and wrote the last line on 'The parloq meeting at Mrs. Brandy Coon's."

Enthusiastic friends of cyclists are sometimes over zealous i'm their efforts to help along the cause of wheeling. The suggestion of Mayor Strong, of New York city, that one side of the Grand boulevard of the metropolis be turned over to the exclusive use of cyclists, and that the other side be left for trucks and other vehicles, looks we'll in theory, but wont work in prac- tice. 1t would be positively dangerous at night, on Sundays and on holidays, to keep aM the cyclists on one side of the driveway.
