. She Knew Her Grammar.
The Judge's little daughter, although
6he had talked several times through
the telephone to her father, had never
gone through the formalities neces
sary In calling him up. The first
time she tried it she took the receiver
off the hook, as she had seen others
do, placed her lips to the transmitter
and said: ,
"Hell, l I want to talk to papa."
"Number, please?" said Central.
"Singular," she answered, sur
prised at the question, but proud that
she knew something of the rudiments
of grammar. Youth's Companion.

The soldier and the sailor are especially
subject to catarrh. In the barracks and
on the field Peruna is found equally effica
cious to overcome this physical enemy. If
taken in time it will prevent colds from
developing into catarrh. Even after a cold
has settled in some organ of the body Pe
runa can be relied upon as an efficacious
remedy to promptly overcome it.
Peruna will relieve catarrh, whether
acute or chronic, but a few doses of it
taken in the first stages of the disease
will be more effective than when the dis
ease has become established.

"I had eczema on my hands for ten
years. At first it would break out only
in winter. Then it finally came to stay.
I had three good doctors to do all they
could, but none of them did any good. I
then used one box of Cuticura Ointment
and three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent,
and was completely cured. My hands were
law all over, inside and out, and the ec
zema was spreading all over my body and
limbs. Before 1 had used one bottle of
Cuticuca Hcsolvcnt, together, with the
Ointment, my sores were nearly healed
over, and by the 4ime I had used the third
bottle X was entirely well. I had a good
appetite and was fleshier than I ever was.

get the Cuticura Remedies, and get well

It was at this Instant that ho leaped
upon his friend in a sudden uccess of
fury, spun 1 1 1 lit around, pinned him in
a corner of the room, ami, thus holding
him in a rise-like clutch, exuded the
following:
"They Pay that's the answer.
You've hit it.
'They Sny is whnt's the matter with
me. I'm getting tired of being hound
ed, liully-rngged, hectored, pestered
and bulldozed by They Say.
"Not that I care the leavings of an

of Tartarus what They Say. What
They Say doesn't concern me any more
than the boll weevil concerns the blub
ber-hunting Eskimo or than the sum

clerk who's got the good eye of a cou
ple of Senators who stand in. But, nil
the same, They Say annoys and tantal
izes me like a bunch of gloating house
flies on a gummy Washington duy In
August.
"When I say They Say, I mean you.
You belong to the Universal Order of
flnrrulous, Loquacious and (ialiberlf
erous They Says, aud I'm a-talklug
to You!
"What difference !t"r It make to me,

ning of the world than strong drink
and jealousy and battle find murder
and the plague and fire and storm
and envy and covelousness and slolh
and the devil and nil combined? If
yon don't know it. why don't you?
"They Say, hey? Well, what if they
do? Did you ever know a member of
ihe Order of They Say to possess 1he
brains of a young turkey in a rain
storm.? Did you ever hear of one of
the They Says who had enough of the
milk of human kindness and charily in
his system to make a bread poultice
for the wounded fifth rib of a potato
bug? Were you ever personally tc-
inainted with a They Say who wasn't
himself mean enough to swipe the rn
out of a swampoodlo baby carriage in
the dead of winter?
"Did you ever meet up with a They
Say, male 'or female, who did not pos
sess the physiognomical lineaments of
a Soudanese simian?
"Aren't you aware of the fact that
the Order of They Says has got a
perpetual charter, issued on the first
day of the creation of the Harden of
Kden and to endure until the last faint
echo of the crack of doom, and that the
They Says are irresistible, incapable of
being extirpated or depleted?.
"And, Inasmuch as the They Says
have always Said It, and will always
go right on Saying It till the last
whistle has blown, what s the use?
"Let 'em Say It! They Say? Who

collective, vague, nebulous, and iucvlta
hly a liar.
"They Say is always possessed of
the Imagination of a hasheesh-enter
and the pestiferous clackiness of tin
nnoilcil threshing machine in a hollow
echoing valley.
"They Say is the dum-dum bullet of
human speech.
"They Say is the rock thrown in the
dark.
"They Sny is the intangible Mafia
cankering the heart of civilization;
the Black Hand that besmirches the
outer hide of human sweetness.
"They Say is the hooded cobra of
l'timan society.
"They Say is the sneak that slinks
up behind its best friend and stabs him
in the back.
"They Say Is the hideous, discordant
buzz that foully slays the reputation
of detent men and destroys the good
name of women.
"I nevor'lioar one of the They Says

that I don't, iu the ear of the imngiua
tion, detect the yelping of graveyard
hyenas in the distance.
"They Say works while the rest of
the world sleeps, nud They Say is so
busy that no man may know when he
is liable to meet the askance and
aslant glances of his They Say pois

"What's the unswor? The answer,
for you and all of the rest of the They
Says, Is to cash In nnd quit! Withdraw
from the Order of They Says and, if
you've got c knock coming', say it your
self! Don't emit an aunnyruous knock
in the name of the They Says, but, if
you feel that you've got a knock in

centre, sby your hat on the carpet,
take a long breath to give your lungs

strength that you can put iuto It, and

When you're feeling knocklsh don't
get behind the They Sny screen! Claim
the knock for your very own, and stay
with it-stand by it! Don't be a hid

A DANCER AVfcRTEP
The Story of Two Old Maids of Sixty Od
lears.
The Misses- Malcolm were known to
Ihe little world of which Oreenby was
the centre as "the two Malcolm girls,"
In spite of their gray hairs and sixty
odd years. They were also known as
the best housekeepers in nil the region,
and any lapse from the exquisite neat
ness of their domain seemed to "the
Misses Malcolm a terrible thing.
When Cousin Palmer Malcolm, a
reckless Western relative, died, the
Malcolm girls started for the Missouri
towu on four hours' notice, although
they had entertained thirty-two "Har
vest (tleaners" the night before, too.
To Miss Sophronln, the elder, was al
lotted by mutual consent the tusk of
putting the lower rooms in order, so
far as possible, while Miss Kttdoru
atteuded to their bedrooms and their
simple packing.
When they were at last seated in
the train, after a two miles' jolting
ride in the old coach, Miss Kudora no
ticed that Miss Sophronla's face wore
a troubled and anxious look. As
Cousin Palmer Maieolm had been a
great trial to the family, Miss Kudoia
felt that his death could not be the
cause of her sister's worry, and after
a few moments of silence she decided
to probe the matter. At that very mo
ment Miss Sopbronia spoke.
"Eudora," and her tone was one of
distress, "I let Mrs. Goodwill go up
to the spare room Just before supper
lust night to get the measures of our
quilt and bolster-sprcnd, and the bell
rang while she was measuring, and
she hurried down, leaving the quilt on
one of the chairs and two of the cur
tain shades up to the top. She told
me, and I forgot it. Suppose the house
caught on fire while we re gone, and
the neighbors went and saw that quilt
on a chair, and all, what would they
think of us';''
"Now, Soplyonlit, you ought to have
trusted me, and not worried," said
Miss Eudora, calmly. "Something 1ml
me to open that spare-room door the
lust thing, and when I saw what a fix
'twas in, nnd knew I hadn't another
minute, I just locked the door and put
the key iu my pocket, for the thought
of fire came to me just as did to you."
MisR Sophronla's face cleared.
"I'm so thankful," she said, simply.
"I shouldn't have had one mite of
pleasure or comfort in the journey or
tlie funeral if thai door had been left
unlocked."

High Class
The better claes 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 visually includes
all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and
beBt of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances.
The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which ariseB from a knowledge of the benefits
conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest,
reward for long years of Btudy and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of
Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they .
are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest .
remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full
name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of every package.
They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and
of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or
over-eating, that there ia no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as
Byrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell 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 the dignity and principles
of the 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 piraticnl concern,
or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of
the Company California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package The imitations
should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations
they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes
ok on a customer a preparation under the name of "Syrup of Figs" or "Fig Syrup," which
doe3 not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package,
he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his
establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and
and deception in one case he 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 are 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 aB exceptions
exist it is necessary to inform the puMio of the facts, in order that all may decline or return
any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company-

THE LITTIE WIDOW
A Mighty Gaud Sort of a Nclnhbor to Have
"A little widow, a neighbor of mine,
persuaded me to try Grape-Nuts when
my stomach was so weak that it would
not retain food of any other kind,"
writes a grateful woman, from San
Bernardino Co., Cal.
"I hnd been ill and confined to my
bed with fever nnd nervous prostration
for three long months after the birth
of my second boy. We were in despair
until the little widow's advice brought
relief.
"I liked "!rape-Nuts food from the
beginning, and in an incredibly short
time it gave me such strength that I
was able to leave my bed and enjoy my
three good meals a day. In two months
my weight increased from ninety-fivs
to 113 pounds, my nerves hnd steadied
down and I felt ready for anything.
My neighbors were amazed to see me
gain so rapidly and still more so when
they heard that Grape-Nuts alone had
brought the change.
"My four-year-old boy bad eczema,
very bad, last spring and lost his ap
petite entirely, which made him cross
nnd peevish. I put him on a diet of
Grape-Nuts, which he relished at once,
lie improved from the beginning, the
eczema disappeared and now he is fat

skin. The Grape-Nuts diet did It. I

new and vivid sense cf the person
ality of Washington and of the remark
able experiences which made him the
man for the hour and for all time will

ble for tbo ordinary reader to separate
in the text the passages taken out of
Washington's actual writings from
those which Dr. Mitchell imagines him
to write.
