Sudden Ending OF the Anderson
Damage Suit.

Damage Suit.
The hearing in the suit OF Richard W
Anderson against Joseffe Fererro, to re-
cover $40, 900 claimed as damages for al
legged malicious libel. began yesterday
in Circuit Court No. ., before Justice
Bradley. The litigation Is based on a
statement alleged to have been made by
the defendant April s, 1898, that "Ander-
son set this place on fire" In addition
to this 1t is alleged that the defendant
struck the plaintiff, and knocked him
down. After progressing for about two

the variance between the testimony and
the averments in the declaration. Justice
Bradley ordered juror withdrawn and
the hearing discontinued. The declaration
will be amended and another day set for
the trial Of the cause.

ROGER WAS GENEROUS.
But II Was with Something Ho
Couldn't Keep All to
Himself.

A little boy in a North side kindergarten
has discovered at an early age the art of
making others do unto him the things he
would like to have done by inducing them
to believe they are getting the chief enjoy
ment themselves. When the hour for lunch
con arrives Roger eats his own veryquickly,
in fact in quite the boiling fashion of the
bear he preten6s to impersonate. Then he
is ready for his play.
Pm hungry little grizzly bear" he roars
threateningly, "and want you to fill me up.
Come, hurry up, little boys and girls, fill me
up, fill me up, or III grind your bones to
make my bread"
And the children, enjoying the subtle
frolic of the youngster, proceed to drop
into the small hungry mouth bits of cake
and sections of oranges and pieces of bread
and butter and an occasional morsel of
candy, until the little grizzly bear" has
emptied every lunch basket in the kinder
garten and is the only filled up" youngster
in the school.
But the time came when Roger found
something to give in return for the filling
process. He arrived at the kindergarten one
morning with a nice, aggravated case of
whooping cough, and in "a hours every COM
panion in his class had caught it from him.
Naturally he would give it away, you
know" explained the ironic teacher, de.
prived of her school. Roger is such gen.
erous child. Chicago Chronicle.

The industrial classes, who by their
labor must create the wealth and pay
the interest on bonds and dividends
on the enormously watered stock OF
these combines, are expected to toll
and sweat to keep in luxurious idleness
the horde who profit by this Ubiquitous
financiering. As an example: The
newspapers say that the promoters oil
the tin plate trust, just organized get
$4,000, 900 worth of the bonds of the
trust as their share for their services
in eifecting the organization. This
Sl0,000,000 is undoubtedly what is
called ''watering;" not stock but bonds
The balance of the bonds are supposed
to represent a fair valuation of the
property. The extra $40 ,000,0 600, there
fore, becomes unearned increment. to
pay the interest on which the working
man of the dinner pail" about which
we heard so much during late cam
paigns. will be mulcted TO pay in the
higher price of tin for many genera
tons to come.

Swift RetributiOp,

There was wicked leer in Wandering
Mikes eye as he saw the little girl coming
out Of the restaurant side door, carving a
small tin pail. ''The idea." he exclaimed to
his comrade, "of Encouraging SIGH Injuries
in de young" Its our duty to stop it," was
the rejoinder. Before the little girl could
turn the corner the tramp doomed up before
her and exclaimed; I'm sorry, lady, but l
couldn't see We carryin' dat pail any furder
It's agin me gallantry." The little girl be-
gan to cry. Nike seized the bucket and in a
moment had the bottom of it pointed to-
ward the blue sky. The effect was volcanic.
Foam flew in all directions. His one ejacu-
lation solved the mystery: ''Soap suds"
And when the restaurant proprietor came
out and desired to know why his children
could not blow soap bubbles without being
interfered with the victim of poetic justice

AN EXCELLENT COMBINATION.
Successful Enterprise Based on Merit
The Importance of Informing the
Public of the Value of an Article
Through the Leading Newspapers.

The few remedies which have attained to
worldwide tame, as truly beneficial in
effect and giving satisfaction to millions of
people everywhere, are the products of
the knowledge of the most eminent ply
scians, and presented in the form most
acceptable to the human system by the
skill of the worlds great chemists; and one
OF the most successful examples is the
Syrup OF Figs manufactured by the Cali
tornia Fig Syrup Co. Unlike host of
limitations and cheap substitutes, Syrup of
Figs Is permanently beneficial in its effects,
and therefore lives and promotes good
health, while inferior preparations are be-
ing cast aside and forgotten. In olden
times If remedy gave temporary relief to
individuals here and there, it was thought
good; but nowadays a laxative remedy
must give satisfaction to all II you have
never used Syrup of Figs, give it a trial.
and you will be pleased with it, and will
recommend 1T to your friends or to any who
suffer from constipation, or from over-feed-
ing, or from colds, headaches. biliousness.
or Other. ills resulting from an inactive con-
dition OF the kidney, liver and bowels.
In the process of manufacturing the
pleasant family laxative made by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., and named Syrup of
Figs, figs are used as they are pleasant to
the taste; but the medicinal properties of
the remedy are obtained from an excellent
combination of plants known to be medi.
cinally laxative and to act most benefcially
As the true and original remedy, named
Syrup of Figs, is manufactured by the Cali.
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only, a knowledge of
that fact will assist in avoiding the worth
less limitations manufactured by other
parties. The Company has selected for
years past the leading publications of the
United States through which to inform the
public of the merits of its remedy, and
among them this paper is included, as will
be seen by reference to its advertising col
umns.

Nothing But the Truth.

In dealing with public affairs we
should be neither pessimists nor Opt
mists. In order to prove that bimetal-
lism should be restored it is not nee
essary to claim that the country is
in any worse condition than it is in
Neither should be be blindly optimis-
tic and jump at the conclusion that we
have a grand era of prosperity before
us merely because wheat has gone up
and some factories have resumed work
We should look at the situation exact
~ as it is. Wheat has risen because
crops are short in other countries
Factories have resumed partially to
replenish stocks exhausted by long
period of idleness and partially in an
tieipation of a demand which may oil
may not be realized. But there is
othing in the situation to prove that
the gold standard is a good thing OF
that bimetallism is bad one.
