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 proc
esses known to the CALIFORNIA FIG

press upon all the Importance of pur-
chasing the true and original rene
dy. AS the genuine Syrup of Figs is
manufactured by the CALIFORNIA
FIG SYRUP Co. only, knowledge of
that fact will assist one in avoiding
che worthless limitations manufact-
ured by other parties. The high
standing of the CALIFORNIA FIG

genuine Syrup of Figs has given to
millions of families, makes the name
of the Company guaranty of the ex-
cellence of its remedy. 1t is far in adj

HOLIDAY TRADE is GOOD.
Camps of the Soldiers Make 1t Better
Than Last Year.

Than Last Year.
The Christmas holiday trade has opened
up in fine style, and the merchants are en-
joying rush. Their forces are kept busy
waiting on customers, and things are as
lively in Savannah as they have been in
many a long day.
Two Of the leading retail merchants of
the city were asked yesterday how the
trade this year compares with that of last
at the corresponding time. why" they
said, there is no comparison. Business is
much more lively now than it was ten
DAYS before Christmas last year. We are
doing a good business, and l suppose the
same is the case with all the merchants
in the city,"
ITO what do you attribute the increased
busincss?"
why. to the soldiers being here" was
the answer of both. you might not
think it, but there is many a small gift
10 be sent home that is bought by a sol
der. The boys are thinking of the folks
at home and they don't hesitate to make
their little purchases 10 let relatives and
friends know they are not forgotten. But
that IS not the chief reason for the m

Christmas gifts than usual"
This war has been a great thing for
the South" said one of the merchants. IF
the troops had not been encamped
throughout this section cannot see what
the people would have done. Four-cent

deal, and it is the money that has been

HOW SEWARD DISCHARGED
:

Calvin Huson an old time lawyer Of
this city, who died in Libby Prison,
used to tell a good story of William III.
Seward, in whose office he studied law
for about two years. Seward retired
from the governors chair 100000 in
debt. He returned to Auburn and went
to practising law.
1t was not long after this that Wood
word, the famous manufacturer of
ploughs, began to have a lot of trouble
with firms all pver the country who In
fringed his patents. He began to look
about him for a lawyer to prosecute
them. Realinzing that it was a gigan-
tic task, he would have none but the
best lawyer to be secured. In his
search he went to Albany and attend
ed the Court of Appeals for seeral days.
Seward was arguing a case In that
When Woodwork went to find Seward
attracted to him. Woodward became
convinced that the lawyer, whom he
did not then know. was the one to con-
duct his case, so one day when court
was over he made his way to the clerk
of the court and asked who the young
attorney was. He was much surprised
to get the reply, why, that's Govern
or Seward"
court, and Woodword's attention was
at his hotel it was to learn that the
latter had taken the train Immediately
after the close Of the court for Auburn.
Woodman followed him on the next
train, and engaged Seward to conduct
his case for him. After some months
Seward went to Albany to have the
first case against the infringers tried.
The opposition was represented by
twelve lawyers, among whom We're
Senators, Congressman, and some of
the best attorneys in the State. After
much debating among themselves as to
who should conduct the defense, they
finally settled the job upon one of their
number. He was no match for Seward
who easily won the case and got a
strong opinion from the Court.
Armed with the opinion, Seward went
back to Auburn and began the fight all
along the line, wherever there was an
infringement. He sent copy of q vo-
luminous brief to every man who was
concerned in the infringement, and
they were scattered all over the United
States, together with the opinion. For
several weeks briefs left Stewards Of
flee by the bushel basketful. He car
ried the enemies works by storm
There were no more suits. At the end
OF year Seward had paid up the debt OF
$500, 900 and was a rich man besides
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

A NIGHT IN A CHICAGO POLICE
STATION.

Clark draws from an inside pocket a
roll of old newspapers and hands me
one. We spread them on the pavement
as a Mohammedan unrolls his mat for
prayers, and then we take off our boots
and coats. Our soaked, PUPPY boots we
fold in our jackets and use them as pill
lows, and we soften our bed by spread
ing over the newspapers our outer
coats, which thus have a chance to dry
in the warmth of the room and in that
which comes from our bodies. We need
no covering in the steaming heat in
which we lie, and can see at a glance
that Clark and / are more fortunate
than most Of the other men, for few of
them have outer coats, and in their
threadbare, filthy garments they lie
with nothing but paper between them
and the floor, their heads pillowed on
their arms.
By no means are all of them asleep.
In the thick air above their reclining
| figures there is an unceasing murmur
of low, gruff voices. What words can
| fit the hellish quality of that strange
converse? 1t is not human, though it
comes from living men; it has no hu-
NOR, though 1t touches life most inti-
mately; it knows not hate and craving
| need and blank Indifference, but all
these feelings speak alike a tongue of
utter blasphemy; and 1t is not prurient,
! even though it reeks with coarse OBJ
scenity.-W. A. Wychoff in Scribner's.

civilization. But DR.. Williams calls at
tention to the momentous fact that all,
without exception, were cody and de-
vout women.
mo American" he says, has become
president without the memory Of the
prayers he lisped at his mothers knee.
Not a president but has left somewhere
on record his testimony to the training
and religious influence of Christian
mother"
He notes also the significant fact that
all the presidents of the United States
have avowedly owed more to the infiu-
ence of their mothers upon their lives
than to that of their fathers. More
than half, indeed, were left fatherless
in boyhood.
The conclusion to be drawn from
these significant resemblanoes in the
lives of the presidents is. that the quail
ties given to a man by the love and
daily training of a sincere, God-fearing
mother are those which command the
trust Of other men. The nation has not
perhaps, chosen it's most brilliant or
possibly its most able men to be its
chief rulers But 1t has never chosen a
man, from Washington to Mckinley,
whom the majority Of the people did
not believe to be honest in character.
The higher education" which the
mothers of our future presidents are
receiving to-day will enable them to
give to their children a broad culture
along lines Of mental requirement, OF
which Mary Washington and Nancy
Lincoln never heard or dreamed. But
let them not ignore the honest and sim
pie religious faith which these women
gave to their sons, and by which they
were made steadfast in principle, and
held the confidence Of the country in its
hours Of direst need.--Youth's Com
panion.
