Exceptional
Equipment

Of the California Fig Syrup CO. and the
scientific attainments of its chemists have
rendered possible the production of Syrup
of Figs and Elixir OF SIENNA, in all of its
excellence, by obtaining the pure medic
nal principles of plants known to act most
beneficially and combining them most
skillfully in the right proportions, with
its wholesome and refreshing Syrup OF
California Figs.
As there is only one genuine Syrup OF
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA and as the gen
uine is manufactured by an original
method known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, it is always necessary to buy the
genuine to get its beneficial effects.
A knowledge of the above facts enables
one to decline limitations or to return them

clock were pointing to six!
That afternoon Orlando Pillbeck.
her son, took the tin clock and
screwdriver and set to work to cor
rect the clock. and Grandma Pillbeck
had long rest out of bed, for Orlando
found he could not get all the parts
back into the tin clock that he had
taken out of 1t, but about shutdown
he gave it up, and put all the parts
he could back into the clock. He had
to leave out the little jigger that
keeps the clock from running away
with itself. But by leaving the clock
unwound, and setting the hands per-
sonally when she wanted to go to bed,
and having Orlando set them at six
when it was time for her to get up,
she did very we'll. until Orlando hap
pened to go away for week of fish
ing. That week grandma slept a
whole week, and when Orlando re-
turned and set the clock she was SO
week from lack of food that she wob-
bled. So Orlando decided to get a
new tin clock, and when the peddler
came around he traded in the old one
and rs cents for a new one.
All would have been well, but 1t
seems that Grandma Pillbeck had be-
come attuned to the old clock-as you
might say-and did not respond to
the new one, and the peddler must
have given the old clock to his chill
dren to play with when he got home.
His children must have spent their
days winding the old tin clock and al
lowing it to run down at the rate of
"a hours a minute. They were prob
ably early risers. those children, and
went to bed late, and played with the
old tin clock industriously, for from
six a. m. until nine p. m. Grandma
Pillbeck responded to the hands of
the clock. Every few seconds she
was irresistably impelled into bed,
and every few seconds she was ir-
resistably impelled out again, as the
hands of the clock marked six. 1t
was pitiful to see the sober-faced old
lady bouncing into bed and out of it.
She would stand with a scared ex-
preston, and suddenly she would
witch, and into bed she would go, and
Immediately she would twitch. and out
she would come. She wore OFF a
great deal of flesh on the Stats of the
bed, but the clock made faster and
faster time, and at last she only had
time to hit the floor before she went
back and hit the Stats.
Orlando tried to find where the
peddler lived, so he could take the
clock away from him, but no one
knew, and Grandma Pillbeck bounced
beyond the troubles of this world at
eight O'Clock last Thursday morning.
