The victory went to the Bessemer team by a score of 46 to ,. The Bessemer boys played fast ball, the tratt City team being no match for them. Between the halves the Gold Dust Twins" gave a three-round exhibition in sparring which by the ref cree was decided a draw.

RE
GeneruID Demand

Of the Well Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its CON-
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, che 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 genuine-manufactured by the Cali
eornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and Cor sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

Turn About.

Mrs. Phelps Stokes, at a dinner in
New York, condemned the customary
treatment of domestic servants.
"On account Of this treatment" she
said, intelligent young men and Wom-
en- keep out of domestic service, de-
spite the good pay and the comfort.
But who can blame them? In a court
of law, one day, a man o was tes-
tifying, and, simply because he was a
cook, everybody there, from the judge
down TO the cryer, felt entitled to call
him by his first name. Had he been
a cart driver, they would have called
him Mr.. Smith. But, no, he was In
domestic service.
"A young gOVerness, a Vassar girl,
turned to me during the trial and said
that she, as q governess, met with
just such treatment on all sides. She
said that, on the lawn Of her country
home, her mistress once introduced her
to a gentleman.
Miss Jones so the introduction
concluded, is our governess, o know.
The gOverness looked at her mis-
tress expectantly, as If waiting for
something.
And she said-1 beg pardon-but
what does the gentleman doH
what do you mean" said the mis-
tress haughtily.
You have told him my occupa-
ton, said the governess. Now l want
to know his, sc that the acquaintance
may start fair"

BACON HOGS.

To start a growth OF bacon hogs VI Is
desirable to secure a foundation of stock
best adapted to that purpose. There are
many breeds suitable for bacon produc-
ton. The Tamworth, the Poland China.
the Chester White. the Berkshire. Duroc
Jersey and Yorkshire are all very well
suited for bacon purposes. Perhaps the
Yorkshire is most popular with the regu-
lar bacon producers, though pigs can be
taken from any one OF the above breeds
and spoiled, If not properly fed for the end
desired. Proper feeding is the essential
for bacon production.
1t is not always advisable TO raise thor.
oughbreds for this purpose. That is quite
an unnecessary expense. With q good
BOAR the most common OF sows will do
well for bacon. An. authority has his To
say on the subject Of breeds: III you
have to buy your stock TO start with, il
is just as well TO get pure-breds. You
can occasionally sell a first-class animal
for a somewhat higher price han you
could get II you were selling them 20 the
butcher. If you are not anxious to sell
at all, then / would advise you
to use sows OF one breed and boars of an
other. Sows of one breed and boars OF
another usually make the very best ami
mails for this industry.

BARLEY AS A FEED.

1.-THE barley movement is on In full
force, and fully two weeks earlier than
last season. The daily receipts are now
above the average of September a year
ago. Still, the local barley market is.
as h buyer for a big mailing company
expressed II, entirely a feed PROPOSE
ton" says the Commercial West. I'm
fact. the situation Is quite unique. for
the trade has never before seen it's like.
So aggressively are the buyers after
the feed barley, for mixing with oats,
that they ave advanced the price al
most or quite to hat Of mailing grades.
One day this week, when mailing bar
ley was selling at 56@57kc, feed barley
brought as high al BIC. Another day
feed actually sold at soc, when mailing
brought only 5Shc. The mixers are
after thin, bright grades OF barley.
How long this situation can last, of
course no one can say. Maltsters re-
port sales Of malt as being light. The
brewers have not yet come into the
market and maltsters are not buying
much barley in advance of sales of
malt. OF course. when the brewers
begin buying the demand will cause
the spread between mailing and feed
barley to widen, but such buying is
now expected to be of a temporary
character. 1t is believed that the brew
ers will pursue a very conservative
policy this season, keeping down their
of both the raw material and
their manufactured product. II II were
not for the remarkable demand for feed
barley IL ~ probable that prices OF
mailing grades would be somewhat
lower"

Tall Corn In Georgia.

From tHe WmueT, Ca, NEWS.
We We're telling a party or town
farmers the other day about the fell
low who had corn so tall and thick that
he stopped ~ploughing at 5 o'clock In the
afternoon, thinking the sun was down.
when Uncle MacCamp handed us this:
speaking Of tall corn. l had some
corn once that beat anything | ever
heard of. Bod Carithers told me that
he was out n night coon hunting,
when his dogs struck a cat. The dogs
chased the cat to my corn patch and
freed him on a c~ornstalk. The cat
was sitting safely On an ear OF corn
while the hounds howled beneath. Bob,
who is six feet two, says he could not
reach the cat with an AK handle"
We give up, but we know a fellow
who has corn so tall that he has to
chop down the stalks to get roasting
ears,

Irving and the Critic.

From the London Tribune.
There was considerable rivalry be-
tween the two English actors, Sir
Henry Irving and Beerbohm Tree, just
about the time that both of them were
springing into prominence. Now Ii hap
pened, at the height of the feud, that
a play was submitted to Sir Henry
Irving in which he as leading man,
was required TO ride a donkey In the
second act. In spite OF this feature,
the play so impressed Sir Henry hat
he accepted ii and starting ~rehearsing
at once.
AS the time for the dress rehearsal
approached, Sir Henry put an adver-
tisement in q London paper for "a
donkey with stage experience" The
following day a cockney appeared at
the stage door, leading by the bride
a very forlorn looking, half starved
jackass.
Hi cine TO see Sir 'Enry about the
bloomin' donkey" he announced.
Sir Henry was sent for at once TO
interview the applicant for the posi-
ton.
HAS the donkey ever had stag ex-
p~erience?" queried Sir Henry.
"Oh, yes, me Lud," replied the cock
ney. but / want TO be frank with you,
before you engige i'm. He acted with
Mr.. Tree"
Indeed" said Sir Henry. with a
sneer.

"Ah. a critic. too" remarked SIR
Henry and he engaged the donkey at
once.

Mo Chance.

Here's another tale of the canny Scot.

than anything they could produce

a fine collie dog, and he at once tried
to induce its owner, a N old shepherd.

"Wad yet be takin' him to America

Yes, / guess so,' said the Yankee.
Il thocht as muckle," said the shep-
herd. Il couldna part wi Jock"
But while they sat and chatted an
English tourist came up, and to him
the shepherd sold the collie for much
less than the American had offered.
You told me you wouldn't sell him.
said the Yankee, when the purchaser
had departed.
Ma" replied the Scot; II said l
couldna' part wi him. Jock1l be back
in a day or so, but he couldna' swim

Light Comes.

The gloom of night Is dense and deep;
Rough is the path as we grope along;
Courage, heart. as the shadows creep
This is the matin song:
After the night is noon:
After the journey rest;
The world will wake I'm gladness soon,
And the heart that sings is blest!
The glare of the sun is hard and hot;
The road is dusty, the way is long:
Shift your burden and heed it not
This is the evensong:
After the noon is night:
After the journey, rest:
For the world will wake and the stars be
bright,
And the heart that sings is blest.
Grace Duffield Goodwin.
