O--I--C

When preparation has an advertised rep
utation that is worldwide, it means that
preparation is meritorious. If you go into
a store to buy an article that has achieved
universal popularity like Cascarets, Candy
Cathartic for example, you feel it has the
endorsement of the world. The judgment
of the people is infallible because it is i'm
personal. The retailer who wants to sell you
something else" in place of the article you
ask for, has an ak to grind. Don't it stand to
reason? He's trying to sell something that
is not what he represents it to be. Why?
Because he expects to derive an extra profit
our of your eredulity. Don't you see
through his little game? The man who will
try to sell you substitute for Cascarets
is a fraud. Beware of him! He is trying to
steal the honestly earned benefits of repu-
tation which another business man has paid
for, and if his conscience will allow him to
go so far, he will go farther. If he cheats
his customer in one way, he will in another
and it is not safe to do business with him:
Beware of the Cascaret substitutor!
Remember Cascarets are never sold in

In a panic the passengers rushed to the

It was indeed perilous situation.
What was to be done? There seemed to be
no rope at hand, and there was trouble in
lowering the lifeboat, and, as is usually the
case, none of the sailors could swim.
A lawyer suggested a writ of habeas cor
pus, but that was found impracticable, as
there was not judge OIL board, and no one
to serve such a writ, anyway.
At that instant man of commanding
presence pushed into the frenzied crowd
and struck an attitude, close to the rail.
The drowning ones recognized him as a
famous political orator, and their spirits
rose:
Fellow citizens" he began, eve face

TELEGRAPH POLES.
Scared the Bears on Their Intro

To creatures Incapable OF understanding
their use the first telegraph poles were
naturally misleading. When these useful
articles were introduced into Norway they
had q dlsq Iieting effect on the bears.
The bears heard the moaning OF the WIND
in the wires, and proceeded to put two and
two together. such a buzZing as this had
never been heard before. 1t was associated
IL the minds of the bears with a sweet
p,orsei. The poles must b. gigantic hives.
So the bears set to work TO root the poles
out Of the ground.

which used to build its cradle-shaped nest
In the branches OF trees. but as soon as
the telegraph wires were set up it changed

The new position was found 50 secure
that the bird added a second door to the
