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 sx-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, 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
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Inforrned.
To get it's beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

Of landing behind prison bars the three
yeggmen who murdered Edward Pull
man, the night Waterman of the village
of Sodus, while he was trying to pre-
vent them from rObbing Knapp'S bank.
To accomplish the conviction of the
three robbers has taken nearly a year
and a half, and the cost is yariOusly es-
timated at from $4,000 to 100000.
Practically all of the money must come
ont of the pockets of the Wayne Coun-
~ taxpayers. Wayne is an agricultural
county, with no large centers of pOpula-
tion. SO that the cost of Furnishing the

TWO OLD FRIENDS.
sOlIIoquy Over a Tobacco Pouch and
a Minister.

sOlIIoquy over "A Tobacco Pouch and
Minister.
1 need a new tobacco pouch; we
need 4 new minister-so they say. A
younger man; our minister is old : so
is my pouch, and worn with service
hard, constant, daily, humble service.
1t is frayed at the edges so is he. All
old, good men are. And we must have
new ones, that when we display them
other people will not think either that
we are out of fashion or that we are
too poor to get what we ought to have
II has worn well, my pouch; it was
a good, one when 1 got it; well made,
strong, serviceable, good to look at, so
was he. 1t Is good to look at still,
think; certainly not beautiful but
surely friendly at the very least; and
though its buckskin covering is torn
and ragged it serves its purpose per-
fectly, and it will expand now as well
as ever to carry all that l may need !;
and his great heart finds room for all
our troubles.
But my wife tells me it is disgrace
full to carry such a wOrnout thing
about, and, being a bit absent-minded,
! generally fail to notice who may be
by to criticize when I fill my pipe. Men
understand; the dear wife doesn't
though she doesn't want a new minis
ter, thank God. And in a few days
my unwillingness to see her really dis
tressed will send me to the tObacconist's
for a new pouch, though l promise you
II shall be a duplicate of the old as
nearly as may be; and 1 will carry It
and use it, and l shall grow to love it !;
and when it is old l shall love it best
But meanwhile, the one l have, quite
good, dear, kindly and accustomed, that
must go. 1t shall not be thrown away,
for I keep them all in a drawer in my
Office desk and when the spring comes
and I go into the mountains for a lit
tie while to fish for trout it is always
the old ones, the worn and patient
ones, the friendly ones, that go with
me.

they are going to accept his resigna-
ton. Yet ever shall he go with me in
to the silent spaces day by day, where,
away from the dusty world, the clear,

fragrant sunlight, where, freed for a
