in San Francisco, but- throughout the
state of California, and it is principally
against this trade that the circular
letter is directed.

Califokkia Fie Svbcp Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome naoitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative. .- ; . . .

headquarters of the American Steel
Wire Company, in Chicago, that 1,600
tons Of wire rods were about to be
shipped to Everett foi the mill at that
point. This mill has been running
night and day for the past two weeks,
and there is not enough wire rod on
hand to keep it running more than a
month longer, so it was feared that
the mill would have to shnt down, but
this shipment of rods, however, will
be sufficient to keep the mill running
continuously for at least three months.
1 goataeaetera Oregon Wool,
The wool market has opened op In
Red Bluff, and the prevailing prices
range fiom 6 W to 7 cents for fall olipa.
and. II to II cent for the spring clips,
only a small quantity selling at the
top price. It is expected that by the
end of the week the whole spring clip
of Tehama county will be in. It is
evident that the Lake county market
ill not be as lively aa that of the
spring oi '93, owing to the fact that
there still remains so mnch unsold
wool. Figures gathered from the vari
ous wool centers of Oregon give a total
of 6,000,000 pounds remaining unsold
from the olip of 1898. '

shot upwards and, catching hold of

And, having him outside, Paul shut the

brought the good old landlady to the

"Sake alive! That Mr. Smith again!

Burton's walk home bad a tendency
to quiet bis hilarity, but that face was
still before him, and after sitting In

with alacrity.
"I'll do It, by Jovel She can't feel

proved to be no exception. Their mu

and they became firm friends. Then as
the time for his departure drew near
be began to realize that in leaving
Belle Reynold behind he was leaving
all that had made Ufa so bright for

About the best true story I suppose
the stories are true, as be swore tbey
all were told me by my friend the
clerk wa about Charles U Davis, the
actor, otherwise known as "Alrln Jos-
lln." He was In the lobby of the St
ijoanes in new uneans when a man
from Chicago stepped In front of him
and looked over bis bead In search of
an acquaintance who be supposed was
In the hotel lobby. Davis, mistaking
the Chicago man's purpose, remarked:
Ah, I see you admire my diamonds,
This one" Indicating the stone on bis
shirt bosom "cost me $3,000. These'
snowing nis curx nut tons "cost me
$2,600 each, and my wife bas a trunk
f ul up In onr room."
The Chicago nian did not say much.
but that evening, by arrangement with
the head waiter, Davis was placed at
supper alone at a table where were
several vacant chairs. Presently seven
men, all commercial travelers, entered
the dining-room, and each one had a
large cut-glass fruit dish fastened on
bis breast while glass prism bung
pendant from each coat and vest but
ton.
Soberly marching to Davis table, the
seven men took the vacant seats and
the Chicago man entertained the actor
with: "Ah, I see yon admire our dia
monds. This one" pointing to the
fruit dish "cost me $3,000,000. These"
Indicating the prisms "cost $250,000
each, and we bar three carloads like
them at the depot waiting to be side
tracked." Davis not only changed bis
table, but went to another hotcL
