his gloves, made of white WOOL en-
broidered with fine pearls in the shape

With his precious burden he re-
crossed the strip of ice, and. safe on
the other side. broke it down with a
blow of his AK so that no one could
pursue Kim save by the aid of Il boat.
Re gaming his hut. he opened the bag
to gaze upon the fair one. when. with
a cry of horror he staggered back dumb

affair over he had stolen her father by

The shepherds of Landes. France all
go on stills and they think nothing of
being perched up from dawn to dusk
with their feet on a level with a mans
head. The shepherd is provided with
stout staff that answers for many
purposes. AT the proper place in the
staff is a flap, which makes a comfort
able seat when turned down. On this
the shepherd quietly sits and watches
his flock, and while he sits up there he
knits or spins with distaff thrust in
his girdle.

New York Cooking.


From the New York World
The South may make it's slender brag

Till Taft comes on to visit us,
Then watch us celebrate:
Well take him down to Chinatown
He'll eat chop suey there.
With bird -nest soup and other things
That deck the bills of fare.
And then to Little Italy
This great man we shall take
For real sphagetti, and of course,
The long, thin bread they bake
Hungarian goulash he shall taste,
Some Syrian cooking, too;
We'll feed him chill beans and meat,
Mixed in red hot stew.
He'll get some English mutton chops
A Hasenpfeffer treat:
A fine large slice of Kangaroo,
AS much as he can eat
And should there be some foreign dish
That to his heart is dear
Why, he hut has to mention 1t
And he can get it here.

Tune your harp. and twang the strings

Loose your lips and let them fiutter
Like the wings of wanton birds
Though they naught but laughter utter.

In melody that filings

Sing of winter. spring or summer,

To the tune the current sings.

Let your glad song, like the birds.
Overflow with limpid laughter

General Demand

of the Well Informed of the World has
always been for 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 Weh-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.
