ing the boat to secure insurance) was
chosen with difficulty. During it's five
weeks service the members of it were as
sailed on every side by the jealous feminine
sympathizers of the accused. BY every art
possible to youth, beauty and wit and the
reckless abandon of lives largely spent in
the companionship of Adventures were
they approached. "If you do not GO into
that jury room and vote mot guilty. in an
hour you will be dead man," said the
wife of Captain Cummings, confronting
an aged juror on the staircase. Sprung
from an old and respected Massachusetts,
family, she was singularly beautiful
brilliant, dashing woman. AS Olive Cha
pin she had gone in early girlhood to the
west and become enamored of the pictur
esque river captain. Cummings did not see
fit to marry her and went off to Mexico
and opened his gambling house on the Rio
Grande. One day as he sat dealing fare
there his affianced presented herself. Dis
guised in mans attire and armed with a
brace of pistols, she had made her way
without detection to the Rio Grande. She
was skilled shot and could hit dollar
across room. Leveling pistol at the rec
reant lovers head, she said in short,
sharp voice, Captain Cummings, marry
me, or take this in your head" The as
founded captain replied, "Why, Ollie, my
dear, is that you?'' The marriage cere.
mony was performed that day.-Lida Rose

Department Store Profits.

In magnitude of detail. Take for Instance

the daily expenses of the store are So, 900.

The Company known through
out the world as the
CAL |FORNIA FIG SYRUP CO

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 as medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company'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 Co. 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 bene-
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 oil
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most benefcially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of laxative, then 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.
