Of the California Fig Syrup Co. and tho

rendered possible the production of Syrup
Of Figs and Elixir Of SIENNA, in all of its
excellence, by obtaining the pure medic
inal principles of plants known to act most
benefieially and combining them most
skilliully, in the right proportions. with
its wholesome and refreshing Syrup of
California Figs.
As there is only one genuine Syrup of
Eiss and Elixir Of Senna 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

Great Relief to the Young
Lawyer.

One rainy day recently. a young
lawyer. thinking he would like to take
a little flyer in stocks. called at the
office Of his broker. who happened to
be his most intimate friend. When
he reached the office a new clerk
whom he had never seen before told
him that the broker was engaged. but
would be at liberty in a few minutes.
While sitting idly In the waiting room
the young lawyer noticed something
that made his eyes almost drop out.
The gloom Of the day necessitated the
use of artificial light in the brokers'
private office. Silhouetted upon the
ground glass partition between the
two rooms the lawyer saw the shad-
ows of a man and a woman. They
were both seated. the broker at his
desk and the woman beside and fac
ing him. Every moment or SO the
lips of the shadows seemed to meet
affectionately. Something about the
profile of the woman struck the law.
yer as strangely familiar. He rose
instantly and threw open the door.
Sure enough 1t was his wife. but she
was sitting decorously in a chair two
or three feet from the broker. but
almost in line with him, engaged in
an animated discussion.
Both looked up at the intrusion. but
