An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIa 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,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and SUBJ
stance, and its acting on the kidneys
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.

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 method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP

In hal home Abraham, afterward
President, was born, on February u,
1909. 1t was a one-roomed cabin with
a huge outside chimney, no windows
and only a rude, homemade door.
Thomas lLincoln worked hard at his
trade-which was carpentering-and
the family-though poor, was happy.
In 1916 Thomas Lincoln migrated
again with his little family, including
the boy who was to be President by
and by, going this time to Indiana
and settling in a dense forest near
Gentryville, in Spencer County.
Arrived here, young Abe and his
father went to work together, both in
shirtsleeves, to clear the land for
farming, and, first of all, to build q
new Lincoln homestead.
This home, which young Abe helped
to build, was the best home that
Thomas Lincoln and his wife ever
lived in. 1t was what was called in
those days a "half-face camp" II
consisted of one room, with a loft
above. For a long time it was with.
ont window, door or floor. The furni.
ture was all made by the family.

ANCESTRY OF
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

The Abraham Lincoln legend is the
d~istinctively American legend. 1t IS
the most popular legend Of democracy.
It tells the story of a poor boy, born
in a log cabin on the rude frontier,
learning to read and write by the light
of the fire from the open hearth; of his
hard labor on the farm, doing all the
rough work of an American peasant
lad of the pioneer stock; of his cal
loused hands, made hard and coarse
by swinging the axe as a rail splitter;
of his struggles to get a few books out
of which to educate himself by nights
of difficult study after days of strenu-
GUS toll; of his simple courtship and
unostentatious marriage to a home
spun-clad Kentucky girl of the same
pioneer period, and, finally, of his
rise, by the strength OF his own merit
and fitness, to the leadership of a
great party and the Presidency of the
Nation in its hour Of sorest need and
direct peril.
That is the great Lincoln legend,
that will live as long as the Republic
lasts. And the doctrine of democracy
is all included in 1.-THE everlasting
truth sung by Burns, that
The rank Is but the g%uinea's stamp;
mans q man for a that"
Thomas Lincoln married Nancy
Hanks, in Washington County, Ken
lucky, June -, 1906. 1t was an old
time Kentucky wedding, and all the
neighbors came to it-but MOTH broad
cloth. There was "a supper and a
boisterous merry-making. The feast
included bear meat, wild turkey and
a sheep barbecued whole in q pit.
There was good whisky, too, and the
fun included a race for a big whisky
bottle.
And when the wedding was over
Thomas Lincoln took his bride, Nancy
Hanks Lincoln, to a little log cabin in
Elizabethtown, Ky. Afew years later
he moved his family to a similar log
cabin fourteen miles away on the Big
South Fork of Nolin Greek.

Many interesting medals were
issued in 1860, when Lidcoln was the

handsome one of bronze has on its face
a bust of Lincoln, surrounded by
small stars. Below are the words:

OF intersecting portions of a rail

it is inscribed, "The Rail-Splitter of

Full-grown caribou not only differ
widely in weight, varying from 200 to
400 pounds, but also in general sp-
pearance. The prevailing color of
the animal when he has donned his
winter coat is a dark fawn inclining to
gray and fading to almost pure white
on the neck and under parts of the
body. Before the snow falls an edu-
Gated eye is required to distinguish
his form on the sombre gray of the
barrens. Occasionally what are
known as fred bulls" are seen, ami
mails of a dull ~yellowish color and
very large in size, distinguished by
spindling horns. Some caribou,
especially young COWS, are almost as
graceful as the deer, while others re-
semble an overgrown goat. They
possess a variety of facial expression
bordering on the grotesque, some sx-
hibiting a muzzle arched like that of a
Percheron horse, others a square,
MASSIVE nose like that of the domestic
COW, and others resembling the come
~ c-o,;atenance of the Virginia deer.

in France q Comparatively Poor Man.
A c%ablegram was received in Syracuse
N. Y, a few days ago announcing the death
of heart disease at Nice, France, OF Alonzo
Chester Yates, the only son and heir OF A.
G. Yates, who in Syracuse and Philadelphia
made a fortune of millions in the clothing
business during and after the Civil War.
Mr.. Yates was twenty-six years old and
died a comparatively poor man. Young
Yates was left heir to more than 1000, 900
at the time OF his theirs death in 1880, his
mother and sister being the only other
beneiciaries OF the estate. He was reared
in luxury and with his mother spent much
time abroad. Yates Castle, on University
Heights, in Syracuse, a magnificent old
dwelling, was their home when there. They
also had a residence in New York. The
stylish ~turnouts brought back from Europe
every year were a nine'days' wonder and,as
Yates was n splendid whip he never APP
peared to better advantagethan behind his
tandems and four-in-hands.
Yates was sent to Harvard at nineteen,
and later to Hobart, but was obligedto leave
both institutions because of his sporty in
clinations. In London five years ago he

But about eight months ago they quarrelled
and separated. Several months ago litiga-
tion over the estate, which the young mans
habits Of living had incumbered heavily,
resulted in his transfer of all rights to
others and the receipt by him of Il lump
sum Of money pitifully small in comparison
to his fortune when he became OF age.

A Very Good Bid.

It was at an auction room. Tho

Of furniture, art and bric-a-brac being
unusually choice, the bidding had
been very spirited. During an inter-
val of the sale, a man with a pale and
sgitated countenance pushed his way
to the suctioneer's side and engaged
him in a whispered conversation.
Presently he stood aside, and the
s~uctioneer raped attention with his
little hammer.

in a loud voice, "I have to inform you
that a gentleman present has lost his

Would Not Eat the s~paniards.

Says the Worcester (Mass.) Gazette:
''They tell a story OF Major Whipple's
experience in the physical examina-
ton at South birmingham, a rigorous
test, as many have cause to remem-
Der. One of the examiners was look
ing at the Majors teeth, and made
some doubtful remark about them.
The examiners were very particular
about teeth, and when the men began
on Government rations they could see
some reason for this. Why, hang it,

down there to shoot the Spaniards l

MEDIUMS TO HAVE A COLLEGE.


Ctipoi Va SpAiiAuaAiSh#
A movement is on foot in England to put
the practice OF spiritualism very much up
on the same footing as the practice of
medicine. 1t is proposed to establish a
collegiate Institution for the formal in
struction OF "mediums" and to provide for
the authorized licensing of mediums capa-
BILE Of conducting orthodox seances.
The new scheme owes its origin to a
Mrs. Stannard. Her object, she says, is to
protect the public from experimenting
with fraudulent and incompetent spirit
ualists. She thinks these fakirs, by adver-
Using themselves as professionals, nave
caused spiritualistic experiments of the
genuine type to be derided. She desires
to organize a society which will issue a
classified list OF the duly qualified working
mediums.
Blank forms will be circulated, to be
signed by all mediums in the country, and
only such as give satisfactory evidence of
their power will be recommended to the
public as duly authorized to put people in
communication with their friends in the
