And now, in some of Inc administration
papers. there are being printed stories of
wonderful gold possibilities in the Philip
pines Some of the soldiers, who were
formerly miners i'm the West, 1t is stated,
have discovered rich gold quartz, some
specimens of which have been sent to this
country" A narrative in the Philadelphia
Press goes on 10 say that so promising IS
the gold outlook in Luzon that some of
the soldiers have determined to remain
there after being mustered out, being
satisfied that there are very rich deposits
of gold and that even The streams can be
worked prohtably for placer gold" Have
the administration papers the idea that
these gold stories win help enlistments. or
make the boys in the army fight harder
or influence public opinion toward hold
ing the islands as permanent possession?

The Republican bosses want some ad-
ditional offices to dispense among the
faithful hence the order has been made
for the creation of a number of vacancies
in Washington. Married women in the
departments whose husband are also in
the governments employ are to be the
victims. There is no complaint with re-
spect to the efficiency Of these married
women workers but matrimony is an un-
psrdonable crime in the eyes of the bosses
especially when there are elections pend
ing in Ohio and Pennsylvania, and a num-
Der of clerkships could be used to good
advantage.

To teach her better, and one day

Or | shall soon be dead!'
The fairies heard, and needed too,
They caught poor "F' away
And nursed him into health again
Through many an anxious day;
And in his place they deftly slipped
A broader, stronger letter.

With rougish smiles THE better!'
The little maiden wept and sulked
At first and would not speak,
But she grew tired of being dumb;
And so, within a week
She used the substitute; and 10,
Her playmates crowded around.
Her parents smiled, and all were pleased
To hear this novel sound.

An incident of pathetic joy occurred at
Rochester, N. Y, few days ago. In his
young manhood Edward o. Osgood became
blind from cataract. That was forty
years ago. Later he married, and has
since reared eleven children, some Of
whom are married and have children of
their own. Last week Osgood's eyes were
successfully operated on and the cata-
racts removed. Two or three days ago he
was admitted TO the light and for the
first time saw the faces of his wife and
children. He is now spending the time
getting acquainted with them, he says.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP 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,
dispelling 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 to avoid limitations. please
