ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs

known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debiiitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component

surely as the sun rises and sets, all
this stock demand, caused largely by
the depression of year ago, will be
more than made up when once the
thing turns the other way.
Altogether, our sheepmen are
wonderfully cheerful under the cir
cumstances. If a fairly kind winter
follows this season of abundant grass
and hay, the outcome of this rather
unlooked-for depression in the sheep
business may result anything but dis
astrously after all.-Dakota Farmer.

and as many lost last season heavily,
and prices of corn and other coarse
grains promise to be high, the pros
pect is not good for very stiff de-
mand for this kind of sheep.
There is one redeeming feature to
all this. There are less sheep in the
country as whole, than for many
years; the crop of lambs was light on
the. great ranges, and the supply Of
winter feed, and the grass on the
ranges are the best for years. The
prospects for an abundance of winter
feed is so good, and the chances of
getting good prices for feeders
is so poor, that very many
sheepmen are fixing to carry over their

more sheep will be wintered in that

A BRAND-NEW IDEA

Mr.. Roney of ''Roney's Boys" Con.
cert Company was once waiting for a
train the morning after concert,
when man sat down beside him and
after introducing himself as an at
torney, delivered himself as follows
81 didn't get out to your concert
last night, but I've heard some mighty
good things about it. Now I'm some
thing of musician myself and I've
thought out something that would
make an immense hit if singers would
only profit by it. Now this is entirely
my own idea, and I want to see what
you think of it.
eff singers were only trained to
speak their words distinctly, so that
people could understand what they
were singing, it would be great i'm
provement and make them more popu-
la- and please the people better. Now,
what do you think of my new idea ?"
Mr.. Roney told him that the "new
idea" was certainly a good one, so
good, in fact, that he had been trying
to put it in practice in all his train
ing of singers for the past twenty-five
years, and that if there was any one
thing more than another in which he
was mercilessly exacting in his train
ing of ''Roney's Boys" it was in their
distinctness of enunciation, so that
listeners could actually hear the words
sung. Mr.. Attorney suddenly saw a
man on the platform he had important
business with, and left with his "new
idea" sizzling under his hat.
Studying their lessons, writing let
ters, accommodating souvenirs and visit
ing places of historic, scientific or
interest is the principal
occupation of "Roney's Boys" during
their off hours. The presents given
them range from books to Indian
and gold nugget pins. Mr..
Roney had once to buy an extra trunk
to carry their accumulated treasures.
Visiting famous industrial plants is a
part of their education, and they are
nonored with many invitations to visit
places of special interest,".

The Newspaper Game
Read by Burton Braley before the Montana
State Press Association at Helena
Oh, yes, I had quit it forever.

Oh, yes, had quit it forever,
The scissors and paste and all that;
The haste and the frantic endeavor,
The typewriter's merry rat tat;
l tired of the boiler for ''copv."
l longed for life that was tame.
And my friends called me shabby and slonnv-
So dropped from the newspaper game.
| left all the rush and the riot
Of giving the people the news,
And got job that was quiet
kind of perpetual snooze.
Sometimes l would dictate letter
To pretty stenographer DAME
And l said to myself, S'This is better
Than playing the newspaper game
But something kept whispering BILLY,
You're out of your element here
This sinecure's meant for some Willie
Who dent know scoop from beer:
This joint is too tied by decorum,
This routine is always ehe same
Your clothes don't wear out where you wore EN-
When playing the newspaper game
The whisper kept ever returning.
1t never would let me alone.
I thought of the pay was earning,
l thought of how fat had grown.
Then l thought of the roar of the presses
And who of the bunch mere will blame?
And l thought of the strains and the stresses
And the lure of the newspaper game.
Whenever the newsboys would holIer
~ Whenever the extras came out
tugged at my unsweated collar
And my heart strings were tugged by doubt,
Till at last, boys, I doubted no longer,
I passed up my cinch and came
To the call that knew the stronger,
And plunged in the newspaper game
The typewriters ratified to greet me :.
The smell of sour pastepots was sweet,
l found the old bunch there to meet me,
dropped in my battered old seat;
The news room was dingy and smoky,
But shiver of joy shook my frame,
For Iquit the good Job that was poky
And was back to the newspaper game.
Below were the linotypes clicking
And the smell of hot lead came to me,
The sport man was nervously Ticking
The ash from his cigarootee
There a rush, there was clatter and clamor
And it stirred up dead embers to flame,
And knew was slave to the glamor
And glow of the newspaper game.
| tossed off my coat in hurry,
l showed my hat back on my head,
Amid all that nerve-rackng furry
| felt as though raised from the dead.
My typewriter acted unruly,
My fingers felt clumsy and lame,
But knew l was back again truly
To the field of the newspaper game.
You can swear you will leave it behind you,
You can flee to wherever you will,
But the newspaper fever will find you,
The newspaper fervor will thrill.
1t makes or more likely it breaks you,
You die and leave scarcely name,
But not until death comes and takes you
Are you free from the newspaper game.
Let the bookkeeper foot up his columns,
I'd rather fill columns with news,
Let the lawyer pore over his volumes,
Let the minister preach to his pews.
m back to the home of the story
Tell with great riches of fame,
I'm right in the midst of my glory,
I'm back to the newspaper game.

new York, Sept. 29.-A new phase
or the discussion Of the so-called
STANDARD Oil correspondence, made
public recently by William r. Hearst,
was entered upon late today, when
John D. Archbold, vice president of
the Standard Oil company, made a
statement setting forth details of the
alleged theft Of correspondence from
his files. Former United States Sena-
tor John Lowndes McLaurin Of South
Carolina entered the field with a sign
ed statement declaring his attitude in
the matter Of the correspondence be-
tween himself and Mr.. Archbold.
Mr.. Archbold said:
In response to many inquiries as
to the theft Of letters from my files
the following may be made known:
"Over three years ago a report
reached me that certain Of my let
ters had been offered for sale to a
newspaper Of this city, ostensibly
stolen letters. Examination showed
that some letters were missing and
that they could only have been taken
by some one not only familiar with
the office details, but highly trusted.
The party on whom suspicion fell
stoutly denied all guilt. A little later.

self as acting between the thief and
those to whom the letters had been
sold proposed to- return some of the
letters for consideration. His story
was that the idea Of the theft had
been conceived by bis brother, who
had at one time been in the compa-
nys employ. and that his brother had
Induced the employe already sus-
pected to accept the theft. According
to the go-between's story he had dis
posed OF the letters, or some Of them,
to two men, who purchased them on
behalf Of Mr.. Hearst's newspaper, the
Journal. Not only had stolen letters
been thus traded for, but the thief was
induced to carry off one or more letter
copying books, many Of whose pages
he claims were photographed, other
pages being removed altogether. The
books in question were. the go-be.

1t Is impossible to say how many were

thieves worked at their leisure. It is
not thought necessary to say more al
present or to mention names. Cor.
roboration Of the go-between's story
OF three years ago lay in his return OF
some Of the correspondence at the
time. The production OF stolen let
ters by Mr.. Hearst is further cor

ceded on the programme by Prof. Irv-

done to prevent it, and that the 1885,
