General Demand

Of the Well-Informed Of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
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 its 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 its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why

LOOKING AWAY FROM LIFE
New Workers Are Fond of Lingering
Before the Shop Windows.


One of the things which strikes a
stranger in New York is the habit busi-
ness men have of looking in at shop
windows. The crowds hurry and jostle
through the streets, crowding each
other in the mad rush. But hardly a
window but before it can be seen
a group of men, or perhaps only a
couple, perhaps solitary one, gazing
intently, steadfastly through the plate
glass panes. A minute before he was
rushing as wildly, struggling as fierce
ly as his fellows. Now he stands wrapt,
out of himself, oblivious to the strug-
gle going on around him. His
thoughts are through the window
there with the toys, the boxes of
candy, the baseball bats, the Japanese
curios, the stationery, the cutlery or
whatever it may be of which the shop
makes a speciality. The man will
gaze into the window for three min
utes, four minutes, sometimes for
more than five minutes, and then turn
away with bright eyes and an air of
having been refreshed. Before he
stopped to look in the window the
man was tired, worried. That little
stop for rest amid the wilderness of
the great city, that oasis of pleasant
and rambling thought he camped in
for a few minutes, has relieved the
tension of business cares, has rest
ed his nerves bit and sent him on
his way refreshed again.

and knew it when too late. Only
those hopelessly out of the running
seemed to be really enjoying them
selves.
1t was expected that the Judges
would not remain out long, but half
hour went by, and they were still de-
batting in the little summer house to
which they had withdrawn. A feel
ing of uneasiness began to make itself
apparent. Bets were cancelled, and re-
arranged again. No one seemed as
confident as at the opening of the
contest. At last the judges were seen
to rise, and then, two by two, they
came across the lawn, and took their
places on fiower-decked platform. A
sudden hush fell over the assembly.
The chairman waited until everyone
had come within hearing distarce of
the stand before making his announce

in tho will, he said

SHE GOT HER MAN-HAPPY.
indian Woman Not Likely to Be Left
Far Behind in Life's Battle.

Writing of the famous Dean Kaye
of Topeka, in Suburban Life, Paul A.
Lovewell, says:
Dean Kaye has had interesting ex-
periences during his soujourns in the
wilderness. Once an Indian woman
came to his cabin.
You marry?' she asked.
Yes, said the dean, L can marry
folks. Have you got man?'
Again the woman grunted, and de-
parted. About sundown she returned,
dragging with her an apparently
abashed and reluctant brave.
Got him. she remarked, laconical-
ly, producing her marriage license.
The man knew no English, but the
woman prompted him when it became
necessary for him to give his assent
to the deans questions. When it was
over the squaw paid the minister his
fee and led her husband away in tri-
umph."

to be public-spirited. Then they
would go for heavenly ramble in the
woods.

contestants. People strolled about or
talked together in groups, as at a gar
den party. Here and there a girl was
seen whose heightened color betrayed
her consciousness of being under
scrutiny, for it was generally known
that the courteous judges, chatting
casually with their friends and ac-
quaintances, were all the while CLEAN
ing impressions which would be of
service in making the decision. The
occasion, on the whole, did not seem
favorable to the setting forth of femi-
nine charm. Even Bertha, by becom-
ing self-conscious, had lost something
of her usual grace. Katherine's pretty
bow of mouth showed a disposition
to straighten, and Doras infantile nose
failed to save the day for her. As for
the young women whose charm de-
pended on pink ribbons, they had all
apparently chosen the wrong colors,
