Roy Farrell Greene, the president of the American Society of Curio Col lectors, told at a dinner of dentists an appropriate story. "A dentist," he said, "was once traveling in the East, and in the Ganges his beat overturned and he was obliged to strike out for the shore. "As the dentist swam sturdily through the muddy water an enor mous alligator suddenly roso up be fore him. The alligator opened its finormous jaws, and the next instant would have been the dentist's last, only Just in time the man hap pened to notice the great reptile's sharp, white teeih, and an idea struck him. "Ho drew a piolio from his pocket, and, pressing it Into the alligator's gums, he said: " 'Does this hurt you?" "The alligator screamed with pain, ond the dentist, amid Its great agony, made good his escape." Philadelphia Innulrer. Too Late to Sort Cats. Jim Crocker lived in an old tumble-down house in .a little town in MassachiiMats. The cellar windows being broken out, an opportunity was afford to stray cats to run In and out, and sometimes there would be quite a congregation.

He was generally pretty good-natured, but this time be was out of torts, for he said: "Your cat may be there, or she may not be, but I ain't a-going to light up no lamp and go down In that cellar this time of night sorting out cats for nobody, so there."

Yet unseasonably mild wraihcr h No vember has postponed retail business in Winter goods.

High Class Druggists Tho better cine of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity, who devoto their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies and purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians' prescriptions and scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but always under original or officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes u. nwiuum itiniouioa uiiu turrehponuing aujuncis ot a nrst-class pharmacy and the finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. Ihe earning of a fair living, with the satinfaction which conferred upon their patrons and assistance" to the medical profrssion, is usually their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know iliat Syrup of Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal Pntiffaetion, and therefore they aro soiling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of tho choicest remedies, and they always take plonsure in handing out the genuine article bearing tho full namo of the Company California Fig Fyrup Co. printed on the front of every pitckage. They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and of weakness or torpidity of tho liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there ia no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and benefioinl in its effects as Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to Bell it because it gives universal satisfaction. Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain tho dignity and principles of tho profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations sometimes have the name" Syrup of Figs" or "Fig Syrup" and of some piratical concern, or fictttioua fig syrup company, printed on the package," but they never have the full name cf tho Company California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package. The imitations should bo rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell tho imitations they fiud it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passca off on a customer a preparation under tho name of "Syruo of Figs" or "Fig Syrup," which dooa not bear tho full name of tho California Fig Syrup Co. printed on tho front of the package, ho is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunato as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and and deception in ono case hp will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of physicians' prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. Knowing that the great majority of druggists aro reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased every where, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions exist it is necessary to inform the public of (he facts, in order that all mav decline or return any jmitalion which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return "the article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class of aruggiois wao win sen you NATIVE NEW YORKERS SCARCE.. About Cne Out of Every Ten In the City Population. Now that, thirty "emergency" census takers finished the tail end of their work a few days ago we may soon bavc light on an Interesting question that this enumeration will throw porno light upon. Out of Gotham's 4.000,000 sonls how many are actual New York erspersons born in this city? Tak ing the last federal census as a criter ion there Is about one "native born" New Yorker out of every ten In popu lation. Still, even this small balm to Knickerbocker families 390,000 per sons has to be greatly reduced, for in It is Included every person of whom no actual knowledge could be obtained of whom tho haste of the census tempted to throw under this general heading. Amateur statisticians have decided that there are about 120,000 citizens of New York who have been born of parents natives of this coun try. These delvers In the census re sults are of the opinion that If the qualification were that both their par ents were natives of this country not more than 6,1100 persons could qualify as New Yorkers of the second Ameri can generation. Children of parents who were born abroad numbered 1, 375,000 In the last federal census. There were then more than 400,000 Americans hero who were born in oth er states. New York state leading with a contribution of 125,000 ane! New Jer sey following with 56,000; 36,000 were born In Pennsylvania, 25,000 In Mass achusetts, while 22,000 a compara tively largo number were born in Virginia. Therefore the descendants of the Knickerbockers 'are wofully ou' nurr.bered In population if not In money and real estate. His Father Was Athlete.
