Stimulation Without Irritatio.

ORINo Laxative Fruit Syrup is new
laxative syrup combined with the deli
cious flavor of fruits, and is very pleas
ant to take. 1t will not grippe OF sicken.
1t is much more pleasant and effective
than Pills, Tablets and Saline Waters,
as it does not derange the Stomach, or

Constipation.
ORINo Laxative Fruit Syrup will posi-
lively cure chronic constipation as 1t re-
stores the natural action of the intestinal
tract. Ordinary cathartics may give tenn
porary relief but the stomach is upset
and the bowels are irritated without any
permanent benefit having been derived.

The condition of the patient remains I'M
changed. The Stomach, Liver and Bowels
have not been stimulated and in q few
days stronger purgative may have to be
taken. This is why Pills and Aperient
Waters never give permanent relief.
Their violent action results in an unnat-
ural movement of the bowels and it isnec-
essary to keep taking them indefinitely.
Why ORINO Is different.
OBNo Laxative Fruit syrup is the only
preparation that really acts upon all
of the digestive organs. Other prepar-
atoms act upon the lower bowel only and
do not touch the Liver. 1t can very read

not act upon all of tie digestive organs

 One day poor old Grandmother was ill too i'll to get out of bed and as there was an order for piece of linen from one of the rich ladies of the village the old lady was very loath to lie idle
 q must get out of bed. Granddaugh ter, declared the old lady, trying to rise from her cot. But from sheer weak ness she fell back on her pillow, groan- ing with the pain the exertion had caused her.
 Girlie, seeing the feeble condition of her Grandmother, felt heavy heart and begged her to lie still. saying that she Girie-would do what she could at the loom that day.
 ''No, no, Granddaughter, you cannot weave well enough to work on the piece of linen that is ordered by Dame Gol- den. She pays well and expects the finest work You so often get little knots in the thread, dear, aud that makes a rough place in the cloth No, my lass, the cloth must wait till am on my feet again. Oh, this pain in my back is very tryingn' And the poor old lady groaned in her agony.
 Girlie sat beside her, rubbing the af- licted back till at last the old Grand mother slept Then, stealing tiptoe to the door, the little maid looked out at the setting sun. All day long she had wait ed at the bedside of old Grandmother, and she was surprised to see that the day was already gone.

water. Little Jack strolled out of the room and went in quest of food.
 At the kitchen door he was met by a very stern face, for Cook knew by in- stinct what a little boy visited the kitchen for, and she had no time to be preparing lunches for any one just then. There was cake in progress of making, and a chicken to be dressed for dinner. So, her face was not inviting when Little Jack looked into her realm.
 What do you want. Master JackT' The question was sharp.
 "Sumthin' to eat" Little Jack made bold to inform her.
 Well, you must wait till I've done my cake and dressed that chicken" replied the Queen of the Kitchen and Pantry. "No time to be fixin' stuffin' for small stomicks between meals. Besides, it's bad habit
 Little Jack understood the Cook. and knew there was no appeal after she had passed her verdict So he marched away from the kitchen portal, going to the big dining room where he hoped to find cracker on the table. But the table was already set for dinner. and not so much as crumb remained on 1t. Little Jacks stomach gnawed, and he went to the pantry. walking on tip-toe so that the cook might not hear him. On a top shelf Little Jack could see many small jars and glasses of jam and jelly. Also there were g-mouthed bottles full of pickles, and many other fancy edibles Little Jacks palate knew and loved.
 Then the Finger family became restless, and ached to get hold of one of the glasses of jelly and a bottle of pickles. So, Little Jack, in obedience to the Fin ger Family (which was no doubt influenced Wy the greedy stomach), climbed upon a chair, then upon a shelf, and then got upon the breadbox which lifted him still higher, and found that he could just touch the row of jars and glasses with one member of the Finger Family. It was Mistress Fore Finger, who could reach and caress glass of jelly, and after many mo ments of straining to lengthen his arm Mistress Fore Finger succeeded in pass nig her slender little head around one side of the glass, thus drawing it for ward. And when the glass was just at the edge of the shelf Mistress Fore Fin ger gave 1t pull. and down 1t came, passing Little Jacks head like a flash of lightning, hitting him on the shoulder and bobbing off to fall smash on the floor.
 "Oh, it broke!'' moaned poor Little Jack But I can find enough of it in a lump to spread on some bread. And here's the breadbox under me. I'll help myself to slice.''
 So saying, Little Jack got off tie bread box so that he might get intd it, and there he found two big slices} already cut.

Grille followed, for She was now too much afraid to refuse to obey her strange leader, and the command had been: Fol low me, my cbild.''
 Once inside the cave Girlie could see nothing, for total darkness reigned. "Be not afraid said the voice that had been conversing with her; but it had suddenly grown harsh, and grated on Girlie's ears. Then there flashed a dim light in the further corner of the cave, and Grille saw that her companion had struck fire from a piece of flint. catching it in some bits of dried grass, after which a piece of rotten wood was ignited, and smould- cred gloomily. .*
 Then to Girlie's horror she beheld for the first time the white-clad figures face. It was aged, wrinkled, hfdeous crueli Grille sank into corner of the cave hiding her face in her hands. She was in the cave of wicked old witch. She realized her danger and trembled with fear, not daring to take a second look at the horrible face which was turned to- ward her, and which was plainly visible in the fire. sht.
 "Ha, ha, hal Do you know me, little iamb7" asked the now harsh and cracking voice of the witch. T have a nice home here in this caye my dear. All I needed was a young companion. And you shall be that desired person. You will grow up to be fine witch, and while you are young your power will be unlimited. It is only after one has grown old and ugly like am that one has to keep ones face covered by veil when going about in the disguise of a fairy. Ah ha, hal Didn't l trap you nicely. my hildT
 "But-but-but you will not keep me here2" pleaded Grille in trembling tones. "Let me go to my dear old Granny, who is i'll and needs me. Please let me go at oncew
 No, no, noi'' declared the old witch, grinning terribly. 'I have waited long for young companion. I must keep you now that I have you safe and sound. I'll teach you all my tricks, and you'll soon be fine young witch. An, the mis- chief we two can do in the world' And the old witch smacked her thin lips and gurgled in ecstasy. "Ah, you are pretty little one! After a few years of confine- ment in this cave you will be glad of the chance to practice the black art, if for no other reason than to get out into the fresh air."
 But I must go to my Granny" cried Grille. "I cannot-I will not-become wicked witch! Let me go, l implore you" And running to the caves en- trance Grille attempted to pass out, but she came against solid stone cover to

 She got no further. for the witch had her by throat and was choking the very breath out of her body, when of sudden the great stone rolled from the entrance, and beau. .ful fairy stood in the cave. With wave of her wand the fairy cried out: Perish, wicked witchl'' And before Grille could understand what was taking place the old witch lay dead at her feet

 And the good fairy went home with Grille, and by her magic made old Grand mother well and strong, and also made her and Grille rich, and soon thereafter Grille became a great and good princess.

But as she walked along her mind became so busy with thoughts of fairies that involuntarily her steps turned towards the mountain instead of following the village street, and within a few minutes she had passed the last hut on the border of the town and was In the midst of a deep and beautiful wood.
 Now, some children are afraid of the dark. especially when alone, and in a deep wood, but Grille was not afraid of anything, for she knew the night was made by the Great God as well as the day, and that there was nothing to fear from one more than from the other. So, finding herself in the wood, she sat down on' a fiat rock to rest a bit and to look up through the treetops at the stars that were just coming out
 Granny will sleep a long time," she said to herself, flor all last night she was wakeful, and all this day she has not closed her eyes till now, so she'll get a good sleep and will wake, after many hours, refreshed. So l am in no hurry to return to the cottage. for the night is lovely and I will wander about here on the mountain side and enjoy the cool breeze and the fragrance of the pine trees. And-and-I wonder if a fairy will chance this way. 1 should be so happy. Let me see-what was it my old Aunt Susan used to say would bring the fairies? Oh, yes, l remember. I'll try to repeat it.''
 Then upon her knees little Grille dropped, and holding her hands clasped high over her head. her eyes bent on the ground. she repeated in a solemn voice: Fairies rich and fairies poor, won't you hear me, I implore? Come this night and visit me and listen to my entreaty' Then, after a moments s pause, Grille repeated the rhyme, and, sitting very still. raised her eyes to the sky, hoping to see a band of fairies

free to visit any room whenever his fancy prompted him to do so.
 Once in the library he fell to examining various great volumes which he found piled upon a table Some of them con- tained very interesting pictures, but Little Jack thought these might be im- proved by some color. He ran to his own room and got his box of water colors and a brush. Then he went to the dining room and procured a glass of water
 But on returning to the library Little Jack heard a wee small voice saying to him: Watch the Finger Family. They might ruin the beautiful pictures in the fine books" For a moment little Jack listened to the wee small voice, and re- membered what his mother had said to him about the Finger Family. But the Finger Family conquered, for five of the members held the box of watercolors, while the other five members clutched the paint brush. And on the floor rested the glass of water. So down sat Little Jack on the floor, dragging one of the huge books beside him. Then the Finger Family set to work with a will. And be- fore little Jack hardly knew what was In progress the pictures in one of the books had been gaily eolored. And more than that had happened The cover of the book had suffered an accident. Once while dipping the brush into the glass of water Little Jack tipped the glass and some of it's contents went on the floor, running under the book and staining the cover very badly.
 From one book Little Jack went to an other, and the Finger Family kept the paint brush busy till the illustrations had been colored in very crude way in three great handsome volumes Then the Finger Family became tircd-or may be Little Jacks stomach made pro test against further work by the Finger Family. insisting that it perform some work on It's own account.

Each member of the Finger Family was tied up in black rags-all save the wounded one, which was carefully wrapped in white linen-and Little Jack was then put to bed with this sentence: No dinner to- night, and tomorrow a task of writing the words Bad Boy 100 times. Not alone must Finger Family suffer- but their com panions in mischief must suffer with them," declared mamma. And lying there in his bed, lonely, hungry Little Jack de cided he would never, never allow the Finger Family nor Master Greedy Stom- ach to lead him into mischief again.

 write Der correct name-for she figures in very ancient history. so I have been told-I merely call her Grille, and let it go at that, for the story will fit one little maids name as well as an- other.
 Grille lived in the long, long, long ago, in a country whose name l shall not give for the same reason that l do not give the name of our little heroine. Indeed, 1t is quite necessary to keep the where abouts of the little maiden a secret 9th erwise the story would not be so inter- esting.
 Grille was an orphan living with a dear old Grandmother in the outskirts of a mountain village. The dear old Grandmother was a weaver of cloth, sup plying the richest families of the vll- lage with their linens. In this way the old lady earned a meagre living for Grille and herself, but they had never a luxury. Only the barest necessities were theirs.
 As there were no schools in those days for girls (and few for boys, except for the sons of the rich) Grille had nothing to take her from home, save to go to the chapel on Sunday morning, and to the neighbors on errands through the week, or down to the market place in the vll- lage to buy food for their table. So she and the old Grandmother were very close companions, Grille sometimes assisting at the great loom which almost filled the small weaving room. Only one other

coming, full wing, toward her. But nothing interyened between her and the stars above. Just as she was about to repeat for the third time her little plea to the fairies she heard slight stir in the bushes behind her, and turning about beheld a white-clad figure approaching her. Grille immediately thought the form that of fairy, and lowing low, said: "Ah, good fairy. you have responded to my call. l am in sore trouble. My dear old Granny is very H. and I beg of you to come to our cottage and make her well. Will you do this for poor little girl, good fairy?'
 "Ah, yes, my child, I shall get my wand and go with you. But where do you live?' Thus replied the figure In white
 Grille gave the information asked for, and the white-clad figure said: well it is quite walk from this spot to the village, but from my cave there Is shorter route. Will you accompany me to my place, where I shall get my wand? Then we will go on to your grandmother's home.''
 You speak of living in a cave," said Grille, feeling of fear coming over her. She had heard that only wizards and witches lived In caves, and that fair ies never dwelt in such places, inhabi ing the clouds and mountain tops only.
 "Ah, yes, my child,' replied the white robed figure" keeping her face GOV cred by a white veil Sometimes we fairies go into caves for little secret study. Even fairies must have privacy at times. I am studying the stars. and must steal away from the other fairies of my band. '
 Grille, half afraid. decided to follow the white-robed figure to the cave, and thence to her own cottage, where she hoped to have her dear Grandmother re- stored to health.
 They walked rapidly up the mountain side, and after going a considerable dis tance the white-clad fgure-still keeping her face veiled-turned suddenly into great shadowy clump of trees. Then above Girlie's head appeared huge ledge

 Just as he was wondering what to do about the muss on the floor and on his clothes the front door opened and some one entered. Then Little Jacks mother called out: Where are you, sonnyT'

 Then mamma and Little Jack went to

the library to see the pictures which had been painted In the books, and it Is need- less to say that mamma saw several of the finest volumes of the library ruined.
 Leading Little Jack to her own private room mamma sat down and talked to him.
 Half an hour after the confidential talk, in which mamma pointed out the fact that Little Jack had been the real influence behind the bad conduct of the Finger Family, it was agreed that not only should the Finger Family be punished.

 Well, this is the way it all happened: One day Little Jack Arrows mamma said 10 n1m: sonny, l am gong snop- ping, and shall be away from home all afternoon As cook is very busy In the kitchen. and Jane has an afternoon off, you will be your own master during my absence.
