very good to me, but have got to get
out and do something"
After taking the money of the bank
and skipping the country, Stallard
came back and was given an oppor-
tunity to gather his crops before being
sentenced to the penitentiary. Finally,
when it was convenient for him, he
went before the court and was SEN
fenced After serving few months

to C'hautauqua county from Lansing,
Stallard has been living on a farm
north of Sedan, but the ground was
rocky and Improbable.

A Lazy Liver

MAY be only a tired liver, or a starved
liver. 1t would be a stupid as well as
savage thing to beat a weary or starved
man because he Jagged in his work. So
in treating the tagging, torpid liver it is
a great mistake to lash it with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an

HAVE TWO GOOD CArCHERs.
Both ST. Louis Teams Blessed With
Splendid Receivers.

ST. Louis. Dec. 29.-Both St. Louis
teams will be blessed with good catch
erS next season. Bresnahan was un-
questionably the best catcher in the
National league last season, except
Johnny Killing. while Criger, who is
slated to do the bulk of the catch
ing for the Browns, has for years
been regarded tOp-notcher.
Bresnahan is by far the better hitter
and better all-round ballplayer, but
both are far above the average in
ability, and if there is anything in the
theory that good catchers make good
pitchers the twirling staffs of the two
Mound City teams should show vast
improvement next season.

success and crcditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as q laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug
gists.
