An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUT 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. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispeiliug colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
maneutly. 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 SIENNA and
other aromatic plants. by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and 60 avoid limitations, please

he went to Frenchtown. Afterward it
was the home of E. L. Bonner and in it
Judge Frank H. Woody was married
and it was the home of Mr. and Mrs
Woody for some time. 1t was one of

dences of it's early occupants.

SUICIDE OF A DOG.
Dewey Could Not Stand the Ridicule
and Humiliation That Hair
Cut Caused. -:

A large Newfoundland dog named
Dewey, owned by family in Brooklyn,
is declared to have committed suicide,
says the Philadelphia Enquirer. Ow-
ing to the warm weather that prevailed
lately the head of the family had the
dogs hair cut very short-so short, In
fact, thatthe skin could be seen through
what little hair remained. When the
operation was completed homelier
dog could hardly be imagined. His
large feet and head, in contrast with
his long, lean legs and body, made a
ilaughable appearance.
Before his hair was cut Dewey was
the leader of all the dogs in the neigh
borhood, but after the clipping the mo-
ment he saw one of his former chums
he would put his tail between his legs
and sneak away as fast as his long legs
could carry him. He appeared to be
so ashamed of himself that when any
body looked at him he would stink
away, and no amount OF coaxing could
bring him back.
The humiliation seemed to worry him
$50 much that one night he was seen
deliberately to lay himself down in
front of a fast-moving trolley car, and
before the motorman could check the
lsneed of the car Dewey was dead.

Town Overlooked.

LIQUIDS island, on the coast of Maine.
near historic Pemaquid, in the Lincoln
county town Of Bristol, is one OF the
very few places on earth where there
are no taxes. This island, otherwise
known as Muscongus, was overlooked
when Maine became a state, and was
put into no town or county. 1t is said
that during the war the people cast
their votes for time in the town OK
Bristol, until some election officer dis
covered the illegality of the vote. The
island was first settled by John Loud, g
deserter from British man-of-war, and
his great-grandchildren are now prom
inent inhabitants. By voluntary con-
tributions school is maintained, the
parents paying four dollars for each
child. The school term averages eight
months in each year, and there is an
average attendance of IS scholars.
Catching bait for the fishermen of Bos-
