Another girl who has been all kissed

Tt is one Of the unwritten social
laws that you are not expected to
give a wedding present unless invited
to the reception at the house.
An Atchison woman confesses that
she cured case of nervous prostration
by working as hard as she was able,

There is temporary lull ia society

There are many things connected
with the administration OF justice
which are difficult for the uninitiated
masses to understand. For instance.
ahe ordinary citizen can't see why there
should be a lot Of fuss and much time
spent in the trial of Czolgosz for kill
9ng the president. Everybody knows
he did it. and he doesn't deny it. APP
parently there is nothing more to do
except for the court to have him
brought in and pronounce sentence on
him. But that is not the way Of
courts. Czolgosz having declined to
deny his guilt a lawyer will deny it for
him. although he knows he is telling
p falsehoOd. The trial viii go on I'm the
regular way. and the assassin viii get
several thousand dollars worth of ad
vertising. although he is not likely to
be able to turn it to advantage.

Santa Fe shops have been closed down

The same order was given on the Mis-

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

of love are those who don't play the

You can never make an engaged girl
believe that it ever happened that way

A woman doesn't care so much to
have a man dangling after her as she
cares not to have one.
Any woman can marry any man she
pleases, but what worries her is to mar
~ a man they displease.
A woman can manage to be pretty
happy under the most depressing cir
cumstances II she can only find some
one to listen to her rake down her rela-

a man can't stand being away from her

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF EIG5, 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. It
is the one perfect strengthening 1axa-
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 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 Ere SYRUP
