Caught WHISPERS In Safe.

In locking his safe the other night
prior to his going home for supper
George Edgemont, paperhanger who
lives at Jefferson street and Hermit
age lane, Manayunk shut the safe
door upon his flowing whiskers and
was held until released by his daugh-
ter says the Philadelphia Inquirer
Edgemont had been out collecting
bills during the day Returning to his
office he opened his safe and placed
the money in it. He then threw the
door shut catching the end of his
beard in the door In the excitement
incident to his odd predicament he
forgot the combination and so could
not release himself. With his chin
resting on the safe he was discov-

what had delayed him, The safe was

METHODS ARE TOO STRENUOUS,
Why Yankee Statesmen Have Not Sue.
cccded In South America.

In the matter of statesmen abroad,
we must have men who not only speak
the language but who are also thor
Dughly conversant with the customs
and idiosyncrasies OF the people with
whom they deal, says the Engineering
Magazine. The South American, in
his buying as in almost everything
else, Is most deliberate person as
well az a sensitive one. A salesman
who will call, smoke cigarette, talk
ihconsequently about the weather. the
theater and the races, and answer
questions should any happen to be
asked--rather than make assertions
about his goods. will outsell, five to
one, the liveliest hustler that ever
opened up a sample case. This Is a
thing so contrary to the instinct Of the
American salesman that, to date, in
his wanton disregard of 1t, he has con-
stantly played into the hands OF his
more experienced European rivals.
"Your Yankee drummers." says the
latter politely. ARE the greatest sales

The
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 genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

COFFIN WAS A BACK NUMBER.
So Pennsylvania Man Sold IT and VIII
Purchase Another.

Isaac Coffman Of Hatton, Pa, has
sold coffin he made many years ago.
He sold 1t not because he felt he would
have no use for it, but because his
wife insisted that it was out of date.
Mr. Coffman is nearing his eightieth
birthday He explained to a friend
that he constructed the coffin 20 years
ago II was built of chestnut because,
as he put it, "Many's the time ! have
sat beside a CHEEKY blaze Of chestnut
logs and heard them crackle and burn
merrily. II makes such homelike
blaze that picked it In preference to
other woods II was my desire to
lave the coffin as coy as possible,
and rejected the frivolities which so
many persons affect In the matter OF
collins. In order to have 1t handy |
kept 1t in the garnet, But my wife
tells me that styles have changed, and
since | have accumulated little for
tune she will not permit me to die UNI
less consent to get an up-to-date
casket. To avoid trouble | agreed to
sell the old one. But at the SAME
time think that the coffin which was
good enough for me In my poorer
days should satisfy me now, and !
shall always feel out OF place In the
newfangled affair"

FEATURES OF THE NEW HATS.
Some New and Excellent Ideas in
Their Trimming.

Some Of the prettiest felt hats are
in dark color, with facing of white,
and have wide brims rolling in front
at the edge like the aureole shapes of
last spring, or sharp little roll all
around the extreme edge of the gem
erous brim.
Other felts with white facings are
smaller and roll more abruptly, re-
sembling in shape the Panama hats so
much worn during the summer. Some
very attractive and simple little

What the Mouth Tells.

A large, shapely mouth signifies
breadth of mind and federation of
others peculiarities.
Thin lips denote covetousness,
greed, selfishness and, unless strongly
contradicted by some other feature, in
tense love of power.
The more curved and flexible the
lips the more yielding the nature. The
more straight and firm the lips the
more severe the nature Lips that
look as If they had been pressed into
a straight line show sclfrepression,
nervousness and obstinacy.
A mouth to be perfect should be
large and shapely, the corners straight
or very slightly inclined to droop;
lips neither thick nor thin and firmly
but easily closed.
