He has known how by wise economy
to obtain full Independence; he has
for many years been placed in such a
position that he. can withstand all the
temptations of publishers and editors,
and in his creative work need only re-
spond to the inner call and his literary
conscience. Literary creation is, for
him, the highest joy, and the calling
of a writer the noblest pursuit. Nor

aims, his father and mother are still
alive, and lie can and does say with

He then explained that while he was away

about it.

the lawyer.

The lawyer could not conceal a smile, but

want my advice, it is to go back and settle
that small amount. 1t looks like the easiest
and best way out of it"

MISSING VACANCIES.
There Was a Box of Them and They
Were Held by the Agent
for Charges.

A short time since quite discussion arose
among the officials OF one of our prominent
southern railroads as to the reason of the
many vexatious delays and troubles in the
transmission of local freight. 1t was claimed
by some of the parties interested that it was
caused almost entirely by the stupidity or
inefficiency of the local agents, and as there
was some difference of opinion on this point,
it was decided that the matter should be
tested.
To this end tracer was prepared in due
and formal shape, calling for the where
abouts of Zone Box of Post-holes," which it
alleged was missing from prior shipment:
This was sent out in the regular order OF
business, with nothing except its internal
nothingness" to draw attention to its I'M
usual character, and passed agent after
agent without eliciting comment or informa-
ton save the stereotyped Endorsement:
"Not here"
Some Is or Is local agents were actually
passed in this way, until the tracer fell
into the hands of a bright young fellow
who was accustomed to looking into the
business passing through his hands, and
who speedily came to the conclusion that
the tracer had gone far enough. AT any
rate the document went speedily back to
the general office with the following in
dorsement: BOX of Post-holes, as per in
closed, held at this station for local charges
to amount of $3.50 Will be forwarded on
receipt of same" Under this Endorsement
was written: IN B.-The price of beer at
this station is 81. 80 per keg." It is said that
the charges went forwerd.-Harper's Mag

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIes, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIa 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 sub
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 flgs
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 method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
