Canadians Spurn Longboat
in the Hour of His Defeat

According to the Canadian sport
ing pages. the Dominion is now as
bitter against Tom Longboat as it
was formerly enthusiastic in his
favor. 1t is now conceded that
Longboat threw down his support
ers by his failure to train. and UNI
dermined his constitution by dissi-
patton.
The "LongbOat' cigar store in
Toronto. where the Indian formerly
made his headquarters. has re-
moved the sign in which the for
mer favorite's name appeared. the
proprietor having been goaded into
the act by the hundreds of jeering
inquiries for returns from the Mara
thon race.
Following out. precedent, 1t is
probable that the Canucks will now
poison all the eels in the st. Law
renee.

Some mentioned one prophet and

said: And who would you like to meet

appeal to the Well-Tnformcd in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable 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 debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a 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
