Odd Place for Politics.

This is the queerest place In the
world TO be selected as a residence by
a candidate for the presidency. who is
supposed to be alert TO make vote
among the millions of his fellow
citizens Il would be ideal for a mas
who is composing an opera or writing
an epic poem. but one cannot escape
the belief that the exigenoies OF the
campaign will before long lead TO the
selection OF some less beautiful and
less secluded but more easily reached
place than this charming health re-
sort In the heart OF the Virgin a

Truth and
Quality

appeal to the Well-Informed 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 facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as 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.

SKINNED" TOWN ON
ANNUITY PROPOSITION
Shrewd Citizen Gets Back
Nearly Double Gift.

Boston, Mass, Oct because of
one of the strangest contracts eYer
entered into by the town fathers Of
New England community and one of
its citizens, Mrs. Lyman Jennings and
her daughter, Mrs. Habrert L. STRAIT
ton, both Of Orange, Mass, will re-
ceiye an annuity from the town of
Athol as long as they live. Each year
when this pension is set aside by
the selectment of Athol the latter have
occasion to lament the bargain ar
ranged between the town and Lyman
Jennings 81 years ago.
THE Jennings annuity" as the gift
is now known, has become the source
of much interest and discussion
among the financial experts of the
State.
Thirty-one years ago Lyman Jen-
nings, then 50 years old, went to the
selectmen of Athol, where he then re-
sided, and proposed to give $4,000 out
right to the town on the condition that
Athol pay him per cent interest as
long as he lived, and continue after
death to pay his widow $3.50 year,
and each Of his three children S12O a
year, an amount equal to that which
| Jennings would receive yearly during
his lifetime
The town fathers agreed to the bar
gain, their decision being based upon
the figures Of an insurance table as
to the average longevity of the five
| beneficiaries.
But much to the surprise of the
| shrewd selectmen, instead of living
only 147 years, according to their Ia
BILE of statistics, Jennings continued
to draw the annuity of $40 until last
year, when he had exceeded the aver
age insurance longevity by 16 years
The town has returned to the old
man during his lifetime for the $4,000
loaned the sum of $16,200, and this
year the sum of $500 had to be set
| aside for the widow and his one re-
naming child, now so years of age
and in the best of health.
Still bound by the contract, Athol
will be hereafter compelled to con-
tinue to pay $500 per year in addition
to the $4,000 already paid as long as
Mrs Jennings and Mrs. Stratton live

AIRSHlP PATENTS
MAY HAVE VALUE
Heirs Had Considered Is
tate Worthless.

NEW YORK, Oct Regarded as a
dreamer during life, DR. Arthur de
Bousset, who died three years ago,
provides in his will filed yesterday,
material for a romance of the skies.
The beneficiaries under his will be-
lieve the patents he had taken out on
airships and devices pertaining there
to, hitherto considered valueless, have
become of immense value through the
recent developments in aviation If
their belief proves well founded those
who cared for the aged inventor in the
last years of his life viii become
wealthy
DR. de Bousset, who was rs years
old when he died, in the home of
Charles A. McCready, broker, with
offices in the produce exchange, was
well known in this country and Eu-
rope as an eXperimenter in all things
mechanical, but more especially
through his work in aeronautics. In
1902 he obtained patent in this coun-
try for a machine said to be more on
the lines of Zeppelins device than any
other, and the next year similar pat
ents were obtained in Europe.
None of these patents went beyond
Tie luOuGl SldS6, DuI the dSGu Iuctu
convinced some good mechanics that
the devices were practical.
Subsequently, he made other inven-
tons including a propeller for boats,
which, it was stated yesterday, is now
being tested in a small vessel, and
other improvements in airships, none
of which has been patented. All these
papers, plans and models he left with
his friend, Mr. McCready WITH him
he also left a will, dated May 8, 1904.
The estate, however, so lacked
promise of value that it was not
thought worth while offering the in
strument for probate, and until re-
Gently the old mans models and pat
ents were forgotten Then with the
work of the Wrights the patents and
papers We're recalled, mechanics were
called in to pass judgment upon them,
and on their advice that the patents
possess value the will was offered for
probate yesterday.
