THF EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the com bination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI.
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far liz advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not grippe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of

SOME GOOD STORIES.
The Proves Of the Dean and Hii
Good Wife.

The Spectator" prints some stories
sent to it by the owner of notebook
kept by a niece (now dead) Of the late
Lord Glenelg Here is one with the
requisite war flavor:
During the Crimean war, Lord Rag
Ian was most conciliatory in his con-
duct and language to the French, but
unluckily, from old peninsular associa-
tions, he was now and then betrayed
into speaking of them as 1.-The enemy"
IF we are placed here and the enemy
are posted there" Good heavens,
my Lord Lord de Ros would cry,
what are you saying." He was also
particularly desirous of establishing
cordial relations between the English
and Turkish armies, and was much dis
turbed at quarrel which took place
between some of the soldiers. When
the combatants We're dispersed, one or
two Turkish soldiers were left lying
dead. Lord de Ros was sent to the
Grand ViZier to express Lord Raglan's
concern and to promise that every eff
fort should be made to find out and
punish the guilty persons. On his be-
ginning to lament an unfortunate oc-
on the matter being broken to him, he
exclaimed with great relief, rs that
all? What can it matter If they are
killed or not?" Lord de Ros returned
to Lord Raglan, and In answer to his
anxious inquiries, 1T is all right" he
replied, Our fellows are welcome to
kill as many of them as they please

Lord Glenelg told a story of Mr.. La
bouchere, father of the first Lord Taun-
ton. He was employed as young man
in the great mercantile house of Hope.
He applied to Sir Francis Barring for
leave to pay his addresses to his daugh-
ter. Sir Francis demurred, as Labou-
chere, though a rising young man, had
no fortune But if Hope takes me
into partnership" said Labouchere.
"'Oh, yes, if Hope takes you into part
nership.' Labouchere then went to
Hope and intimated his wish for this
arrangement. Hope in his turn de-
INJURED. But if 1 marry Baring's
daughter" 'Oh, if you marry Baring's
daughter" SO Labouchere married
Baring's daughter and became a part
ner in Hopes.
The following was told by Lord de
Ros: In the early part of the century,
Vauxhau was the resort of many re-
spectacle persons, especially of those
who came up from the country to see
London sights. During one season it
was infested by a band of roughs, who
made 1t their occupation to insult and
modest the most quiet, decent people,
especially any whom they guessed to be
country visitors. They became such a
nuisance that several men about town,
among whom We're Lord Alvanley and
Keppel Craven, laid a plot TO get rid
Of them. They hired Mendoza, the IA
nous prize fighter, and dressed him up
as Dean, with a shovel hat and apron
Another prize fighter short man, was
dressed as a middle-aged lady and
passed as the Deans wife, and one ev-
ening they were seated at Vauxhall in
conspicuous position to watch the
fireworks. 1t was not long before the
old-fashioned countrified pair attracted
the attention of the gang, who assailed
them with every kind of coarse raillery
and insult, all Of which they bore meek
ly. At length one Of the prosecutors,
growing bolder by impunity stepped
up to the Dean and squirted an orange
into his eye. On this the Dean, rising,
said in a meek, quiet tone: Really,
gentlemen, l have borne a great deal,
but l must put a stop to this" With
that his hat went one way, and his coat
another. and followed by his wife,
he sprang into the middle of the party,
hitting out in all directions. Filled with
astonishment and terror, some fed and
some tried to show fight, but the hand
lin they got from the prizefghters

Awkwardness Of Being q Prince.

The Prince of Wales is placed by fate
in the most difficult position of any
English subject. Libeled necessarily,
continuously, and Indignantly, silence
is imposed on him by reasons of State.
If he patroniZes the drama, for the
neglect of which the Queen is persist
emily blamed, the Prince is depicted as
a trifier, who finds the society of num-
merS relief from the tedium Of a wasted
life; if he encourages our national
sports, he is a profiigate, and is COM
pared with royal predecessors. whose
conduct would certainly not commend
itself to-day even to the stanchest sup
porters of monarchy; if he does not
lavish money he does not possess, he
is said to be stingy; if he makes an
outlay on a church at Sandringham,
or a ball at Marlborough House, he is
a spendthrift. Unworthy friendships
are attributed to him with men upon
whom he has never set eyes, or with
whom he may perhaps have exchanged
a casual word; If he plays a game of
cards, he is a gambler. Fierce as is
the light that beats upon a throne,
the cruel and searching illumination of
the Princes life inflicts on him the
disabilities and responsibilities, while
denying him either the power of the
throne or the privileges Of private
station.-Harper's Magazine.

The Mineral Wealth of America

An expert report on the mineral pro-
ductions Of the United States during
the year 1897, recently issued, shows a
total valuation Of S67S, ,966 GA, a slight
increase over that of the preceding
year. This aggregate was more than
double that Of the United Kingdom for
the same period, and considerably
larger than that Of all the other Euro
pean countries combined. The most
important minerals in production and
value were, in their order: Coal, iron,
gold, copper, petroleum, silver and lead.
The yield of copper was the largest ever
reported for single year, and gave the
United States the first place in this in
dustry. More than GO per cent Of the
copper supply Of the world is now taken
from our mines, and nearly half of the
annual output is shipped to foreign
countries. es.-Philadelphia Saturday Ev-
ening Post.

Dress Goods Novelties.

Serges are often referred to as
honest" serges. The word is
aptly used. Crepons are serge
weaves with raised mohair figures
of rich lustrous effect. Like
serges they shed dust. Crepons
have grown steadily into public
favor, and never was popularity
more deserved, for while instinct
with elegance, they possess a stur-
diness often wanting in fine dress
goods.
We have the largest, latest and
best stock of crepons in town. AT
SI.75 yard a superb fabric in fully
twenty different patterns, includ-
ing applique figures, traverse

Business interests in the main reflect

trade situation in the more favored
sections of the country. Prominent IN
this direction, of course, are the iron

in railroad earnings as whole, ana
bank clearings, in spite of a slight ie-
duction from last week, showing heavy

previous years.
The less favorable elements in the
situation are the reports of arrested
or smaller than expected trade at East
ern markets, more particularly In
textiles. lower quotations and appar-
entity less active demand from abroad
for our cereal products and reduced
prices paid for the South's great STAPLE,
raw cotton. Qualifying the latter might
be mentioned the fact that spring
wheat has apparently begun to move
in the Northwest, and the prospect OF
large yields in wheat and cotton alike
has tended to depress prices.
In the iron and steel trade, the
strength developed has been favorable,
and the confidence expressed is strlk-
ing, in view of the willingness OF new
buyers to Immediately grant price de-
mands. The situation of the iron and
steel mills, however, with order DOCKS

DEMOCRATSCARRY
JACKSON WARD.
The Republicans Are Again Beaten
For the City Council
BY LARGER MAJORITY THAN EVER
A Very Light Vote Polled in the Other
Wards. some of the Precincts Poll
ing Less Than a Third of the
Usual Winners.

The municipal election Of 1928 has come
and gone, and in Jackson Ward, to which
all political eyes were turned, the Demo
Gratis again scored a signal victory, de-
spite the harmony which undoubtedly
prevailed in Republican circles.
In fact. the vote in not one precinct
out OF the whole city outside Of Jackson
Ward amounted to more than nomi
nality.
The fight IN Jackson Ward was warm
one from the opening Of the polls. The
Republicans felt confident that they pos
sessed an excess OF numbers, but finely
held their forces I'm reserve until almost
the close OF the ballot boxes, when
general rush occurred at an the four
precincts.
There was an absence OF friction 1T any
Of the voting places. The challengers of
both sides performed their duties ef-
iciently, and no annoyance Is reported TO
any man entitled TO vote.
NO DISSATISFACTION
When the polls closed and Mp 30 mid
night there was no dissatlsfnction ex-
rrcssed. The Republicans seemed sat
isned and the Democrats erninently so.

publican and leader in the First Pre-
