Druggist Takes
His Own Medicine

The man who sells remedies for most
of the human ills, and hears day after day
the opinions of people who have used
these remedies, naturally comes to know
the superior from the inferior, and
when the time comes that he has to de-
eide on which remedy he will take, he
of course selects the one he has heard
the most praise of. His own opinion,
coupled with that of his customers :,
ought to go far In convincing the layman that
the remedy the druggist selects is the best In
the field.
J. NJ. Hawkins. a druggist of Mound City,
Kans., has sold medicines for a great many
years, and when finally he himself began to
suffer from stomach trouble he had no hesitancy
take. 1t was Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
Now. after having given it good test, Mr.
Hawkins writes us that 1t justified his high
opinion and he is cured,
1t was the same with Druggist Kennedy, Of
Lexington, Ill. He was not very robust, often
had constipation and such troubles, SO, going
on what his customers who had used II told him,
he took DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and has
been a well man ever since.
There Is no better remedy on the shelf OF any
druggist or 10 all materia medica than Dr. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin for obstinate constipation,
dyspepsia, Indigestion. aatulency. biliousness,
diarrhea, jaundice and other liver troubles,
wheth y the disease Is In an infant. child, woman
or man.
It's the best family laxative. 1t Is gentle and
effective, pleasant and sure. The propretors
guarantee It absolutely both IS to purity and
results to be expected. Usually one or two
doses will bring about a complete change for
the better, and as It Is only 50 cents or 81 bot
tie sure relief can be had for few cents. Buy O
bottle so you can see what 1t will do for you.

ton Of over 5000, with warehouses,
churches, banks, electric lights, whole

THOUGHT 1T MARVELLOUS TRICK.
conjuror's Story Of GuIibIity Of Aver
age Audience.

The light suddenly went out during
one of my performances in Water
bury. A panic was in prospect. How
ever, / shouted out: Ladies and
gentlemen, am about to perform a
most marvellous trick. | have here a
lemon, but of course you can't see It,
I am about to cut it in two and bring
out an elephant"
The audience settled down. Squash!
I cut the lemon. "And now" l said,
the elephant is gone. It has walked
off the stage. But Of course you can't
see it-but that doesn't matter"
Sure enough, there was heard q
slow, shutting sound quite appropriate,
although it was made by the fat stage
manager, who was shutting across the
boards in his slippers. The light re-
turned, there was much applause and
all was well. The next day a man
stopped me in the street and said
he considered that trick the most mar
velous he had ever seen, and would
be giving it again that night! It's
true!-Horace Goldin, in CasseIl's
Magazine.

Law Made Him a Pauper.

A young man was telling his trou-
bles to some friends in a restaurant.
Talk about bad luck" said he. 1.-THE
law certainly played mean trick on
me when | was two years DID,"
The friends showed interest and the
young man continued:
When I was that age my father and
mother were divorced; l went with
father and my sister went with moth.
err. Father and | have been hard
workers since l was a mere child.
Mother married another man few
years later, and with my sister they
went to the Klondike Mothers new
husband struck it rich, They are said
to be worth over a million" Then he
sighed:
"If the law had but given me to
mother!"

CLEARLY NOT THE REAL THING.
Astute countryman Got the Best Of
London Sharp.

A countryman, visiting London for
the first time, got into conversation
with a seedy-looking individual, and
during the conversation he let drop
the remark that he would not mind
giving half crown to see a real Lon
don sharper
We'll, keep it dark" said the other,
but | don't mind telling you that
am one"
IF that's So said the countryman,
Il suppose I'll ha to give thee the 'arf
crown" This he did with the remark,
"But let's haze some O thy tales
Accordingly the supposed sharper
related several good yarns, and the
countryman, much pleased, said:
well, thee must be a real London
sharper Just gle me that 'arf crown
back and I'll gle three five shillings."
Without hesitation the bogus sharp
er returned the half crown, holding
out his hand for the promised five shil-
lings. Whereupon, to his establishment,
the countryman pocketed the coin and
made off with the remark:
"Thees no sharper, or thee'd a. kept
the 'arf crown when thee 'ad it."-Cas-
sells Journal.

Riches at Yale.

Prof Billy" Sumner of Yale-offi.
cially known as Prof. William G. Sum-
ner-who has attracted attention by
his wise and pertinent comments upon
the recent financial hurricane and its
cause, has often been called by Yale
men the best teacher they had in col
lege. Prof. Sumner Is now teaching
sociology, but he used to teach eco
nomics, and, according to a writer in
Harper's Weekly, he achieved the i'm
pressive feat of making that subject
entertaining. Sumner was classmate
OF William c. Whitney, who was very
fond of the professor and who used to
like to play with him in New Haven.
Sumner never got as rich as Whitney;
ne never seemed to care to. He
amused his mind in another way, and
he once enormously amused Whitney
by telling his old friend that the Yale
corporation had greatly increased his
salary.
That's splendid" said Whitney.
How much more do they give you,
Bill?"
1.-TWO hundred and fifty dollars a
year," said Sumner.
And he always wondered why Whit
ney laughed so loudly and so long.

Arguing for a Deduction.

In Mrs. Lapham's family circle her
powers Of reasoning were accounted
most remarkable and convincing. Out.
side the family her ability to convince
was not so marked.
"See here" she said, without releas-
ing the ten-cent piece for which the
conductor of the trolley car had gone
to her side, I've only brought Willie
with me. He's eigN, so I've got to
pay his fare. I've left Myra, that's
four, and Neddy, that's two, at home.
Now you wouldn't have charged me
for them, would you?"
mo, madam said the conductor.
"Your fare, please"
WELL they'd have taken one seat"
persisted Mrs Lapham, still retaining
her hold on the ten-cent piece. Il
couldn't have held EN- both. | thought
of bringing them, only twas too far.
Now, why can't you take off some
thing from Willie, under the circum-
stances youths Companion.

KEPT FROM DECEIT BY VANITY.
Chinese Women BaIk at WronsfuIIy
Adding to Age.

A Frenchman, just back from China,
lays that the imperial edict against
opim is a great blow to the thou.
sands who were slaves to the habit,
and all sorts of subterfu&ss are re.
sorted to by people who think they
cannot exist without it. The law pro.
vides that people over 60 years old
are exempt from the new regulations,
and consequently the number OF
patrlarchs has increased wonderfully.
Sturdy men of 40 and so have declared
themselves odd" and where nature
has made the deceit too evident paint,
cosmetics, and other artificial means
have been employed to cheat the eye.
The government was not slow to dis
cover these frauds, and severe punish
ment has been inflicted on many of.
tenders. Strange to say, although
women are as much addicted to the
opium habit as men, not single case
has been discovered where a woman
made herself older in order to be al.
lowed to use opium.

Mems Clothes Worse Than Women's.

Mems Clothes Worse Than Women's,
Mrs. Lille Devereaux Blake thinks
that mems clothes are just as uncom.
Portable and injurious to health as
women's, and as they are the lords
of creation and women follow meekly
in their footsteps she holds them re.
sponsible for the irrational clothing
of both sexes. Talking to the New
York City Mothers club she said:
Men wear atrocious clothes. They
are both hideous and uncomfortable
and detrimental to health. l should
think they would be glad to put on
women's clothes. These poor, miser-
able men, feel sorry for them when
| see them dressed in the same clothes
that they wear in winter when the
thermometer is above 80. 1t must DO
perfectly awful to wear clothes like
that in hot weather. If were a lord
of creation would try to adapt my
clothes to the climate"

Australia is going to astonish the
world with its new issue of stamps.
They are to be of such a superlatite-
ly artistic character that, according to
the departmental board that has been
considering the subject, it is esti-
mated that $4,000 worth will be sold
to philatolists alone during the first
year, and after that the sale to the
enthusiasts will average 100000 per
annum. The stamps, which are to be
a worldwide advertisement for the
commonwealth, are to be printed from
steel plates, and their designs will IL
lustrate the characteristic features of
Australia.

visit from some OF the directors
and principal stockholders of the
American Rio Grande Land & II
rigation Company. Mr.. T. w.
Carter, president of the company
arrived last Friday accompanied by
Mrs. Carter. Col. Sam Fordyce and
wife came up Saturday morning
from Point Isabel, where they have
been spending a few weeks. Satur-
day afternoon Special il charge
of Messrs. Jeff Miller and VIM.
Doherty arrived, bearing Mr.. and
Mrs. w. K. Bixby, Mr.. and Mrs.
T. H. West, Mr.. aud Mrs. VIM.

Mr.. H. E. Scott. All these gentle
men are from St. Louis and are in
terested in the St. L., B. & M. R. R.
as well as in the American Rio
Grande Land and Irrigation Com
pany.
Their trip down here was for the
double purpose of looking over the
road, arranging for certain changes
and improvements therein and
viewing Mercedes AID this canal
where so much of their money has
been spent.
The party was taken for a six
teen mile drive over that part of
the canal extending south from the
town to the river, returning by
way of Santa Maria. They careful
ly inspected the power house and
walked through the four large in
verted siphon tunnels at FL Fuste.
Further south on the canal, they
viewed the immense drainage cul-
vert, large enough to drive a load
of hay through, drove on down to
the beautiful Military Bridge, saw
the emergency canal, the three
hundred and sixty-hve acre re-
servoir and the various head-gates
and drops in the emergency and
east trunk canals.
At the river, the party was shown
through the pumping station, a
fine three-story building, made of
brick and reinforced concrete like
the power-house in town. The two
immense pumps and motors in the
pit, the transformers OIL the first
floor and the lightning arresters on
the floor above. all received care
full and critical inspection.
Before returning to town, they
were taken around by Lake Ana
cuitas and shown the 6ne piece of
work now going or there. A large
hume is being built to convey the |
canal water across the lake; also
two bridges, one across the north |
trunk canal and the other across the
east-main. These, like all the other
siphons, culverts, bridges,
etc., are of solid reinforced con-
crete, built to last for centuries.
The transmission lines extend
ing from the power house in town
20 the pump station at the river,
and the system of telephone con-
1ections between each piece of
work and the Office of Chief En-
yineer Davis, were the subjects of
much favorable comment.
On the way out. the attention OF
he party had been called to the.
growth of the year old
own, with its substantial business
and pretty residences.
The comments of the interested
gentlemen as they were shown
bout were most favorable. They

What they had seen, expressing
themselves as amazed and highly

tinted measure of credit and praise.
