Dnr-As of the field; " golden-loaded wains are gone
 With all the harvest's yield; Yet some few scattered straws are left,
 Which diligence may find; A thousand sheaYes he took away That left not one behind. Across the stubble field hear
 Sweet revelry and din. As when the reaper to his barns
 Draws his last wagon in He thanks. Thee, Lord, with merriment And custom honored praise, While round about his naked fields The gleauers go their ways. Small thought has he for those who pinch And wear their lives away. With just enough Of strength and hope To keep the wolf at bay: His is the lot Of better blood
 Than flows in common veins; For him. c Lord Thy sun doth shine
 And fall Thy gentle rains. What matters il when winds do howl And snow fills all the sky, Tat others huddle in their huts
 To hunger. freeze and die? Has he not used his talent well,
 And thanked Thee morn and night2 Dost Thou not shield him with Thy love And clothe him with Thy might? l wonder. Lord. if Thou shouldst come When this our harvest ends, Wouldst Thou be found where barns are
 full
 Or where the gleaner bends2 Thou soughtest not in places high
 For men to follow Thee. But where the fisher east his nets In quiet Gali!ee. And well know vert Thou again
 To seek for friendly hearts, That Thou wouldst pass the manor house, And pass the city's marts, And say to some most lowly soul Some gleaner of the field: Come follow Me. and thou shalt glean 4 more abundant yield Chicago Daily News.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy, SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the CALIFORNIA FIe 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 levers 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 figs are used, as they are pleasant to the taste. but the medicinal qualities of the remedy are obtained from senna 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. CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP co.
