Gladness Comes


With 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 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 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. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended TO the most skilltul
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
1sed and gives most general satisfaction.

The Boy Mail Robber.

The people Of Olalla do not take
kindly to the news from Portland that
Arden Ardrich, the juvenile post Office
robber, has been turned over to the
Boys and Girls Aid Socsety by Judge
Bellinger. They think that U s..
judge has special liking for Douglass
county criminals, which accounts for
his leniency. 1t will also be draw
back to the aid society, as people will
not care to adopt children from it if
boys are harbored there who should at
least be in the reform school. Young
Aldrich is about Is years old and is
regarded as bad boy and not klepto-
maniac. He robbed The postOtfice and
store by entering an unused cellar
and getting into the building through
a trap door that was supposed to have
been nailed down. The means of in
gress was not discovered by Mr.. Wells,
the postmaster, until after the second
robbery. Then Aldrich told another
boy, son of MI. Parmenter, what he had
done and asked him to join in third
attempt, saying that later on they
would take to the hills and rob stages
and railroad trains. The other boy
Immediately told his father what he
had heard and Constable Schuyler ire
land and Mr.Parmenter lay in. wait
and captured the youthful outlaw as
he emerged from the store loaded with
goods. He had carried away in all about
$50 worth Of goods, several dollars in
money and few stamps. The goods
were cached in a hole in the ground
about 40 yards from his fathers house,
and some of them had been ruined by
exposure. Several boxes of cartridges
and primers he had shot away. This
is brief history of the law-breaking
of thisyouth who, in Judge Bellinger's
opinion, deserves no punishment at all.
