Few more impressive condolences can

all so seemingly trivial, and yet in re-

history is so full of details that prove

TINES HAVE CHANGED.
Ten Miles nm Hour by Rail Forty
Seven Years Ago was Great
Speed.

II was greatly interested the other
day." said passenger conductor who
runs into New Orleans, Tin looking over
an old schedule of the South Carolina
railroad, printed just AZ years ago. in
the fall of 50. 1t is hard to realize what
tremendous changes have taken place
within the memory of people who are
now alive and hearty. In the SOS the
South Carolina was considered one of
the best equipped and fastest roads in
the country. 1 find by the old schedule
that the night express between Charles
ton and Columbia, which is distance
of about 100 miles, made the trip when
it had good luck in IL hours and Is min
utes, but the public was warned not
to expect such feat every day. The
freight service between the two points
was scheduled to cover the run in 90
hours, there or Whereabouts. That was
. shade better than AZ miles an
hour, and was considered SO fast that
there is special order to trainmen
to stop at the first siding in dense fogs
and wait for same to lift 1t seems to
me that order gives one a wonderful pic
ture of the good old times. Think of a
through freight roosting on a siding,
waiting for fog to lift! Nowadays the
passenger trains make the run from
to Columbia in four hours
exactly. According to the 80 schedule,
there was an express that left Charles
ton at five p. m. and arrived al Hamburg
at six the following morning. The dis
lance is 136 miles. A freight for Aiken.
100 miles away. left at the same hour,
and reached its destination at 9: 40 next
night. Ten miles an hour was consid-
cred remarkable speed for passenger
trains in those days, and an old inhab-
liant told me that many people declined
to risk their necks at such gait. From
what l hear of the rolling stock equip
ment, they showed their good sense"

In presenting interesting phases Of
scientific and economic problems, high
class newspapers frequently give in
formation of as great value in their adj
vertising columns as in those devoted
to the publication of the principal
events of the day; and when the fame of
a product is extended beyond its natural
limits into foreign lands, and large de-
mand created throughout Great Britain
and her Colonies and the principal sea-
ports and cities of Europe, Asia and At
RIGA, it becomes pleasant duty to note
the fact and to tell of the points of ex-
cellence on which SO great success is
based. We refer to the now world
famed laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs,
the product of the California Fig Syrup
Company. The merits of this we'll
known excellent laxative were first
made known to the world through the
medical journals and newspapers OF
the United States; and is one of the dis
tinct achievements of the press. 1t is
now wei known that Syrup Of Figs is
an ethical proprietary remedy, ap-
proved by the most eminent physicians
everywhere. because it is simple and eff
fective. yet pleasant to the taste and ac-
ceptable 10 the system, and not only
prompt in its beneficial effects, but also

effects. It 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 Figs. which is
manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Co. only.

GuNsAuLUs' ANCIENT HORSE.
An Equine Purchase OF the Chicago
Divine In His Youth Which Dis
gusted His Father.

Once upon q time Rev. Frank Guneaulus,
the popular preacher, was poor circuit
rider. He travelled from town to town, lift
ed over the roads in farm wagons and board
ed round at the houses of the deacons, and
returning occasionally to his fathers old
farm to spend few days. His father. SO
the story goes, was a rough old char. Of the
uncut diamond sort, with . vocabulary
more expressive than elegant.
Well, at one time young Gunsaulus found
himself in possession of enough money to
buy a horse. He thought it would be better
to ride his own animal around the circuit
than to borrow transportation. It was .
sorry-looking steed this, but it answered
the purpose, and, what was more to the
point, it was cheap. So after he had bought
It he rode it home. His father was in the
barnyard when he came in and he looked
critically at the animal.
'Where did ye git that hoss. Frank!" he
asked.
II bought him cheap, father" said the
young preacher.
Hes a sorry-lookin' critter, I must say -
said the father.
