General Demand

of the Well Informed of the World has
always been for a 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 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-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the northumberland by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

because she had presentment IN
her dreams that he would be terri

Nhitworth's absence was not no
ticed by members of his train crew
until the freight arrived at Monett'

Half an hour later the members
of another train crew passing the
spot where Whitworth had fallen

When Whitworth started to 60

A COWbOy's Breakfast.

T. B. Sweet, a Topeka capitalist,
stopped at Abilene in the early days
at the best hotel in the city. He
asked for his breakfast. The wait
ers took no special notice of his ap-
pearance, or at least did not guess
that his appetite was different from
the average patrons.
"Give me some eggs" said Mr.
Sweet, and waited.
In a littel while the waitress came
back. In bowl she had a full doz-
en- eggs, all hard boiled.
Sweet gasped and ate what nc
could, protesting that she had
brought him too many, and that he
didn't just know how hard boiled
eggs would strike him for his first
meal of the day.
"Why, that's regular cowboy rs
breakfast" responded the waitress

A Song in the Heart.

We can sing away our cares easier
han we can reason them away. The
birds are the earliest to sing In the
morning; the birds are more without
care than anything else / know Of.
Sing in the evening. Singing is the
last thing that robins do. When they
have done their daily work. when
they have flown their last flight and
picked up their last morsel of food
and cleared their bills on napkin Of
a Dough, then on the top twig they
sing one song of praise. | know they
sleep sweeter for it.
Oh, that we might sing every even
ing and morning, and let song touch
song all the way through! Oh, that
we could put song under our burden!
Oh, that we could extract the sense
If sorrow by song! Then, sad things
would not poison so much.
When troubles come, go at them
With song. When griefs arise, sing
hem down. Lift the voice of praise
against cares. Praise God by sing
ing; that will lift you above trials OF
every sort. Attempt it. They sing
n Heaven, and among Gods people
IN earth, song is tn, appropriate Ian.
