FORMED

and gently reared, women will find
in all the seasons of their lives, as
maidens, wives and mothers, that
the one simple, wholesome laxative
remedywhich acts gentlyand pleas
antly and naturally and which may
be taken at any time, when the sys-
tenn needs laxative, with perfect
safety and really beneficial effects,
is Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA.
1t has that true delicacy of flavor
which is so refreshing to the taste,
that warming and grateful toning
to the stomach which responds so
faVorably to it's action and the
laxative effect which is so bene-
fetal to the system when, occa-
sionally, its gentle cleansing is
desired.
The genuine, always bearing the
name of the California Fig Syrup
Co., may be purchased from all
leading druggists in original pack
ages of one size only; price fifty
cents per bottle.

Munsey's Tells When
Plagiarism Pleased

According to Brander Matthews, It Is
a comparatively recent development for
novelist to assert any right to con-
troll the recasting of his romance in
dramatic form. In an article entitled,
Was Shakespeare a Plagiarism" in the
Munsey for March, Prof. Matthews
says: NO such claim to ownership was
purt forward until at least 200 years af-
ter Shakespeare's death: and the idea
received little legal, recognition until
about the middle of the nineteenth CEN
tury
THE older view was rather that the
dramatist was paying a compliment to
the novelists when he condescended to
borrow one OF their plots"

Senator Penrose on his own testi-

Roosevelt said that he had taken
this position in letter to Senator
Clapp which he is preparing.
The colonel made this statement
after he had read what purported to
be an extract from Penrose's testi-
mony before the senate committee to
the effect that he had advised John
D. Archbold of the Standard Oil Com
pany to make second contribution
to the 1904 campaign fund lest the
company encounter difficulties in
certain quarters.
Roosevelt said that, in his opinion,
this was an offer of protection from
the government in return for a con-
tribution and did not differ mater
ially from the sale of police protec-
tlon in New York
