Theo. Duddeston, bookkeeper at
the National Stock Yards Bank, St.
Louis, has confessed to a shortage

The W. J. Lemp Brewing Com

Brewing Company, of Milwaukee,
confessed judgment in the district
court at Austin, Tex., for penalties
aggregating $30,000 and forfeiture

How crazy you women act over the

tone of withering sarcasm. “I wonder why
‘he Papers don't have a ‘Man’s page,' too?’’
They do, ’ Mrs. Pozenby replied.

“Oh, yes, you have. It's the page devoted

Cautions.

Long—It all depends. What are you feel

A Curious Custom,
No document can have the authority of
the imperial throne of China unless it bears
a red mark placed there by the sovereign.
With this seal upon it, the paper becomes
official. The genuine Hostetter’s Stomach
Bitters must have their Private Die Stamp
over the neck of the bottle. For fifty years
it -has been the recognized remedy for stom
ach, liver and kidney complaints. It will
cure dyspepsia, indigekion, constipation and
biliousness, also prevent malaria, fever and
ague.
A Queer Fraternity.
I asked an old colored man to tell me
something of his history, lie said that he
had been born in Virginia, and sold into
Alabama in 1845. 1 asked him how many
were sold at the same time. He replied:
“There were five of us, myself and brother
and three mules.”—From Hooker X. Wash
ington’s “Up from Slavery.”
Persons contemplating a journey East or
West should be careful that the rates paid
for their transportation do not exceed those
charged by the Nickel Plate Road.
This company always offers lowest rates
and the service is efficient. Careful at
tention is given to the wants of all first
and second class passengers by uniformed
colored attendants. The dining car service
of the Nickel Plate Road is above criticism
and enables the traveler to obtain meals
at from thirty-five (35) cents to $1.00 but
ntf higher.
The Pullman service is the usual high
grade standard. Semi-weekly transconti
nental tourist cars ply between Atlantic
and Pacific Coasts. Confer with nearest
agent of the Nickel Plate Road.

says: “Walter Baker & Co., of Dorchester,
Mass., U. S. A., have given years of study
to the skillful preparation of cocoa and
chocolate, and have devised machinery and
systems peculiar to their methods of treat
ment, whereby the purity, palatability, and
highest nutrient characteristics are re
tained.
“Their preparations are known the world
over and have received the highest indorse
ments from the medical practitioner, th<

TKe Sale Annually of
Millions of Bottles
of Syrup of Figs and the universal satisfaction
which it has given attest the fact that it possesses
the qualities which commend it to public favor.
With the diffusion of knowledge of what a laxative
should be and a general understanding of the fact
that it should have a truly laxative and beneficial
effect and be wholly free from every objectionable
quality, or substance, the large and growing de
demand for
Syrup of Figs
shows that it is destined to supplant the old-time
cathartics which were generally injurious and
usually disagreeable as well. In Syrup of Figs one
finds a true laxative, simple and pleasant to the
taste, gentle in its action and beneficial in effect.
In the process of manufacture figs are used as
they are pleasant to the taste, but the medicinal
virtues of Syrup of Figs are obtained from an
excellent combination of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and to act most beneficially.
