An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect Strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and SUBJ
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process Of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

CHAPTER XIV.
A-&@-tN - O,L

AS the strange boat pitched about on
the waves some Of our men asserted
that at times they could see a mans
head above the gunwale. Others ex-
pressed their doubts of this, and in
the midst of such discussions we
sheered alongside. Hislop caught the
bow by the boat-hook, and while re-
tanning his hold, Tended of, to pre-
vent her being dashed against ours.
In the bottom of the boat, which
was evidently the clinker-built skiff
of merchant vessel, and was all
painted yellow, as preservation from
the sun In warm climate, there lay
under the thwarts a man, either asleep,
in stupor, or dead-at first we knew
not which; but he was pale enough to
have passed for the last.
BY his tawny visage and black
beard. his long scarlet cap and sash,
in which a sheathed knife was stuck.
and also by the rings in his ears, we
recognized him to be Spanish sea-
man. He was man naturally of a
tall and powerful frame, but of for
bidding aspect-of great personal
strength, but wasted apparently by
toll, by exposure and famine.
A dark and coagulated crust of some
thing like blood appeared on his baked
lips and thick mustaches, on the black
ness Of which the saline particles of
the sea foam, dried by the tropical sun.
glittered white as hoar frost on a bush
in winter.
AS we reused him he grasped his
knife instintively and repulsively. but
relinquished 1t, and then stared wildly
at us, muttering in imploring tones:
Aqua, aqua, por amor de Dios!"-
(water, water, for the love of God).
"Misericordia! o senores-O Ave
Maria, misericordiaw
Here, Jack Spaniard, ship a drop of
this; 1t is real Jamaiky," said Tattooed
Tom, pouring between the parched Inns
of the Spaniard some rum, which likely
had been put in the boat by the fore
sight OF Hislop.
The black eyes of the castawav Al.
lated and flashed as the spirit revived
him, restoring his wasted energies,
and bringing hectic color to his
cheeks.
"Belay now" said Tom: you must
get some Thames water from the brig
before you take more Of this"
"Muchos gracias-many, many
thanks" said the Spaniard, in tones os
thankfulness.
Enough O. that-stow your slack
and come on board II you can" said
Tom, testify. as he had suIky recol-
lections of our adventures at the

Restored by the mouthful OF alco-
hol. the Spaniard staggered up. but
with difficulty; and then we perceived
that gouts of blood. dried and encrust-
ed by the sun, were on his person and
on the inside OF the boat, especially on
one OF the thwarts.
what is this-blood?" asked His
lop. with an imperceptible shudder.
Tho Spaniard started and became. II

nervously clutched the gunwa,e of his
boat with both hands. and said, In

A KipiInr Poem.

Several years ago Fred d. Under
wood, now general manager of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, named
two stations in the upper peninsula Of
Michigan "Rudyard" and "Kipling,"
one being in au agricultural country
and the other in an iron ore district.
Some time later a mutual friend in
formed Kipling Of Mr.. Underwood's
action, and the celebrated author sent
Mr.. Underwood his photograph with
the following lines on the back:
"RUDYARD" AND "KIPLING."
wise is the child who knows his sire,"
The ancient proverb ran,
But wiser far the man who knows
How where and when his offspring
grows.
For who the mischief would suppose
I've sons in Michigan?
Yet am I saved from midnight Ills,
That warp the soul of man
They do not make me walk the floor
Nor hammer at the Doctors door.
They deal in wheat and iron ore,

But, maybe, you have children too
So let me introduce to you
My sons I'm Michigan.

dignant people Of Medora. Denniston
must be a man of very low calibre to do
such a dasdardly act as the filing of dis
barment proceedings, and to a man SO
much his superior asis Attorney Simpson.
Wahpeton Globe; The disbarment
proceedings brought against Attorney
Simpson by the blind pig gang of Stark
county, represented by a very young and
inexperienced attorney named Denniston
OF Medora, is very likely to result in
trouble and expense to the defendant
and defeat to his opponents. The Globe
knows nothing of the facts. but it does
not believe that any such bluff proceed
ings will go. The Mandan Pioneer init
mates that Denniston took advantage Of
information cleaned while he had access
to Mr.. Simpsons Office during Simpsons
absence in the army to bring the action
against him.
Fargo Forum: It's pretty evident from
signs that Mr.. Vim. Thaw. Denniston
over in Billings county, has allowed him
self to be used in a way that to an outside
observer is quite humanity. While States
Attorney Simpson was serving with our
Rough Riders in the Spanish war;, Mr..
Denniston acted for Mr.. Simpson, occu-
pied the latter's Office, and became fami-
liar with Mr.. Simpsons private affairs.
1t would be the proper act of an honor
able man to have held sacred any and all
information coming to his knowledge
while so acting. If Mr.. ID did otherwise
its not creditablet to an attorney or hon
orable as a gentleman.

A propos the musical farce comedy,
ga Breach. of Promise" which. will be
presented at the Dickinson Opera House
on Tuesday, Sept. IL, a very pretty story
and one which bespeaks the magnanimi-
ty of stage folks is told of Miss Nellie
Sonnet, one of the members of the COM
pany. While passing through one of the
principal thoroughfares Of New York
City, an incident which most people
would never have noticed, attracted her
attention. In front Of a small florists
shop, there stood an old woman, ragged
in appearance, gazing with longing eyes
on a ose plant exhibited there. That
gaze was more eloquent than words.
Miss Sennett, after a short interval, drew
from her purse some silver coin, and
paying for the coveted plant, presented
it to the old lady. Not a word was ex-
changed between them, and after a few
seconds of mutual contemplation, the
poor woman with an expression of pro-
fuse thanks, hurried down the street.
This pretty little act would never have
come to light, had it not been accidently
witnessed by a citizen, who recognized
the generous donor.

Artisans Wells in the Black Hills.

The protracted drouths in many Sec
tons OF the country this year have call
ed more than usual attention to methods
OF artificial watering. In fact. the art of
irrigation is %encroaching to a consider
able extent into the domain of the hu-
mid zone. The experiments which the
Government has been conducting in
South Dakota have awakened there an
intense interest in irrigation and its pos
sibilities. AT Fort Meade, in that State,
the authorizes have been sinking artesian
wells, and instead of having to bore to a
depth OF 1000 feet, as was anticipated, a
splendid flow was encountered at a depth
