A Sensitive Soul.

Owen Nudge was a very sensitive man. More than once at a harsh word he had forsaken profitable work and gone home for sympathy to his wife. One morning Owen started out to help Glenn Butler, who had bought a new stump-pulling machine and was pre- pairing to clear field.
 Toward noon Owen came back. Mrs. Nudge sighed and waited sympathetic ally for the explanation.
 "I just couldn't stand it." said Owen, rubbing his jaw. "When I see that stump-puller twist them roots out, it reminded me so of the times I went to the dentist to get back teeth ex- tracted. The first thing knew I was limp as rag, and I just ached all over and had to quit. ."-Youth's Com. paniOn,

MEAN FILINGS AT EDITORS.
Tributes by Lafcado Hearn to Class
 of Workers He DisIiked.

''Lafcadio Hearn, that wonderful writer, worked on newspapers in his youth said publisher, 'and the ruthless way his studies were changed, cut and butchered was great woe to his heart
 "In after years Hearn took a mali cious joy in collecting stories about editors-editors and their superior and omniscient way with manuscript.
 "One of his stories was of an editor to whom a subscriber said:
 "I enjoyed that poem on the three ages of man in to-day's paper, MT. Sheers; I enjoyed it immensely. Do you know, though, thought it was originally written the seven ages of man.?
 So it was, sir; so it was,' said Editor Sheers, pompously. Yes, the extract was originally written the seven ages of man, but had to cut it down for the lack of space'
 Another story concerned weather report. A reporter, discussing the weather, wrote that winter still lin gered in the lap of spring,
 'The editor, as he read over the article, called the reporter to his desk and told him that he would cut out that sentence about winter lingering in springs lap. He said the idea was good enough, and all that sort of thing, but it would not do to publish because the high moral tone of the paper had to be maintained in town full of school girls

The
 General Demand

of the We'll Informed of the World has always been for simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; Q laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because it's con- ponent parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action.
 In supplying that demand with it's ex- cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for it's remark able success.
 That is ono of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-Informed. To get it's beneficial effects always buy the genuine manufactured by ths Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co.,, only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.
