THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

is due not only TO the originality and
simplicity of the combination, 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 CALL
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 Com pany guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. 1t is
far III 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

HIS BURGLAR FINALLY CAME

II have been keeping house for over
twenty-five years." said the man with
the Henry Clay cigar, land every night
of that time l have had burglars more
or less on my mind. 1t is all over now,
and you don't know how relieved /
am"
How all over?' asked one of his
listeners.
why, my burglar has come and
gone, and l also understand myself I
never slept a night without a loaded
revolver within reach, and for twenty
two years l have had programme I
expected the stairs to creak as the
burglar came up. This would awaken
me and give me time to get my gun.
He would come into my room. but i
would play possum till he reached for
my clothes. He would then be within
three feet Of me and l would shoot him
in the back. In my tenderest moods
never got to that point where l decided
to give the burglar q Slow for his life
| would shoot him down like a dog.
Did any of you gentlemen ever figure
on the cost of fooling around with a
revolver for 5000 nights? Well, I
wouldn't go through it again for $4,000
And burglars!"

right over here and surrender and be-
have YOURSELF"
Il won't do it,"
Wei, there was the mystery. Reube
i.and Danl were brothers and in oppos-
ing armies. Their conversation in the
rfle-pits was heard by score of men
on either side, and first one side would
cheer and then the other. When there
was a break in the talk Confederate
would shout across:
Hey thar, Reube--come over to the
house and see Dan'l!"
you bad boy, Dan'l; come home and
be licked!" a Federal would shout in
answer, ard for couple of hours the
firing from half dozen rifie-pits was
suspended.
When he took his second trick in the
pit he was so eager to reopen COM
munication that he exposed his head
and a bullet sent his cap flying ten feet
away.
'Durn your hide, but was that you,
Dan'l!" he shouted, as he crouched
down. Yes, III bet it was. You hain't
got no more sense in your head than
to go and shoot at your own brother
though you couldn't hit barn ten feet
away"
THAT you, Reube?" called Danl.
"Clf course it's me! What you akin
SIGH silly questions fur?"
4 thought it was some other Yank.
Hope | DIDN'T skeer you into fits. Say,
Reube, how's all the folks at home? l

JIM WAS A JOKER.

After the CID farmer had brought me
a drink of water and given me the
right road to Adairsville he looked up
the read ard began to chuckle. fol-
lowed his gaze and saw wayfarer
who was yet half a mile away. He was
walking In the middle of the road with
a bundle on stick over his shoulder.
l was wondering what there was to
laugh at when the farmer explained:
Now, you'll see some of the tallest
kind o. fun. My son Jim is plantin'
pumpkin seeds in the field by the dead
tree, and he'll be sure to ketch on to
that feller.'
"And if he sees him-then what?" I
asked.
Then Jim will jump for him and
scare him half to death. I'll bet he
goas by here in such a cloud of dust
| that you can't tell the color OF his hair,
ard that he don't step runnin' for
seven miles"
as your son Jim a joker"
"The biggest kind OF a 5oker!s'
chuckled the father, as he rubbed his
hands in anticipation. TITS a joke O
his to jump the fence and pounce down
on a Teller like that and run him out o
the county. Lord Lord! but won't
Jim give THAT teller a surprise party!
Keep yer eyes on him, stranger, for the
circus is about to open"
AS the man~came-Within about forty
rods Of US, plodding heavily along, a
dark object leaped over the fence, and
an unearthly yell reached our ears. 1t
was Jim. He yelled again and again
as he made for the wayfarer, and the
father hung ON to the fence and ex-
claimed:
Jim will roll him over in the dust a
few times and then start him 1yin!
Lord! Lord! but how he will whizz by
here."
But Jim didn't do any rolling. Down
went the bundle ard up went the way
farer's fists, and we almost heard the
sound as his right hit the joker in, the
nose and sent him head over heels.
Then a race followed, but it was Jim
who was in the lead, and the stranger
who was close upon his heels. AS they
reached us Jim swerved and jumped
the fence and sought refuge in the Or
chard, and after hurting for him for
five minutes the wayfarer returned to
us and said to the father:
"Say, old man, that kid yours Is a
