How lie Helped Editor Torman Gu,

Saturday Evening Post: Allan For
man of New York, the editor of the
Journalist, the pioneer newspaper
journal in the country, has had many
controversies with men both in and
out of journalism. and in his long ca
reer has made rather more than his
share of friends and enemies. Only
once, however, has he been obliged to
seek advice. He had in the line of
duty exposed the record of notorious
politician who threatens to shoot him
on sight. Forman is no coward, but,
as he did not fancy being shot for such
cause, he went to consult retired
newspaper editor who was in the
newspaper clipping business.
What would l better dog" he asked
after he had told his story.

"I'll help you out" returned the
clipping man, and he turned to Il case
of pigeonholes and drew out small
bundle of clippings. II guess you'll
find all the material you want there. -
II shouldn't want to get into fight
with you," said Forman. do you
keep many records like this?'
"Oh, few" replied his friend,
grimly, as lie reached up into the case
and drew out double handful of
clippings marked "Forman."

"A national custom dear to the
hearts of the people calls for the set

Seldom has this nation had greater
cause for profound Thanksgiving. No
great pestilence has invaded our
shores. Liberal employment waits
upon labor. Abundant crops have re-
warded the efforts of the husbandman.
Increased comforts have come to the
home. The national finances have been
strengthened, and public credit has
been sustained and made firmer. In all
branches of industry and trade there
has been an unequaled degree of pros

CESSFUL DEVELOPMENT,

High Class Newspapers.

In presenting interesting phases Of sci

newspapers frequently give information
of as great value in their advertising col
umns as in those devoted to the publica-
| ton of the principal events of the day;
| and when the fame OF product is cx-
tended beyond its natural limits into for
eign lands, and a large demand created

mics and the principal seaports and cities
of Europe, Asia and Africa, it becomes
| a pleasant duty to note the fact and to
| tell of the points of excellence on which
so great u success is based. We refer to
the now world-famed laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, the product Of the Cali
/ forna Fig Syrup Company. The merits
of this well-known excellent laxative
were first made known to the world
| through the medical journals and news
papers Of the United States; and is one
| OF the distinct achievements of the press
| 1t is now well known that Syrup Of Figs
| is an ethical proprietary remedy, APPROX
ed by the most eminent physicians every

! to the SYSTEM and not only prompt in its
| beneficial effects, but also wholly free
from any unpleasant after-effects. 1t is
frequently referred to as the remedy of
the healthy, because it is used by people
who enjoy good health and who live well
and feel well and are well informed on
all subjects generally, including laxatives.
In order to get its beneficial effects, it is
necessary to get the genuine Syrup of

In portion of the Vineyard
Where the harvesting was slow;
Where the temporal inducement
For his ccaseless diligence
Was a promise of four hundred
For his yearly recompensc.
Unrelenting was the ardor
lie devoted to the cause,
And though slowly came the dollars
Still he laborcd without pause,
Till one day they came and told him,
AS he kicked against the pricks,
That they'd raised their offered stipend
From four hundred up to six.
Then the good man sank exhausted
AS he feebly made reply:

Thus my patience overtry;
For to CLEAN the four you've promised
Hath SO warped my vital store
That 'twould kill me if you taxed me
