An Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Btbup or Flos, manufactured by the
CALiroKXiA. Fi Stbup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive priaciples of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form moat 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 habitual 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.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California Fie Syrup
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

What Happened.
CTjO HIS is what happened to a boy one
II Fourth of July. I wss not the boy,
because I chanced to lie a girl; but
f know him very well, and he told me
shout It yesterday.
He was called Dick, though it was not
bis real name. He and his friend, Bob
Shannon, had been having a glorious time
111 day, ou this particular Fourth.
Ihcy began at 5 o clock In the morning.
with fish horns snd torpedoes, then at (1
o'clock came the "Antiques aud Horri
bles," and the two boys followed them sll
Dver town, miles snd miles, till their feet
were sore, snd their voices hoarse with
shouting. Such a sight as the "Antiques
ind Horribles" used to bet I remember
that myself, If I was "only a girl."
They were dressed in rags snd tatters,
with their masked faces grinning horribly
under ridiculous old hats. They blew huge
tin horns, hooted and yelled, and were
surrounded by a crowd of shrieking boys,
who tried to out-hoot and out-yell them.
What a delightful moment was that,
when, after my little heart had stood still
with fright at tbe near approach of an
awful monster, with a negro's face and
billy goat's horns, the face was suddenly
removed, and I saw tbe smiling, ruddy
face of Sam Judkins, the grocer's boy,
greeting me with the customary "Hello,
Sissy!"
As a rule, It was an Insult to be called
Sissy, and I could not abide It; but at that
moment It was music in my ears.
Well. Bob Shannon and Dick followed
the "Horribles" to the end, and then tbey
went home snd hsd breakfast. After that
they fired off crackers In the back yard,
with occasional concerts on the fish horn
till noon; and then they went and took a
iwiin. Refreshed by the cool water, they
felt equal to anything, and gladly Joined
the party that was going to fire off the old
brass cannon In the vacant lot behind the
school house. This was a truly martial
oy.
Dick, who was a boy of lively Imagina
tion, felt like Napoleon (before Waterloo),
nd Wellington and Grant before Hich
tnond, all rolled into one, and forgot that
Alexander and Leonidas, his favorite he
roes of antiquity, knew nothing about the
loys of gunpowder, snd had never heard
the "crack!" "bang!" the sharp spurt of
the match snd the soft "f-x-s-x!" of the
powder which make boys' hearts leap to
day. lir-ahd-by the old cannon broke, as ev
eryone supposed it would, and strange to
ay, no one was hurt.
"It's all nonsense," said Dick, "about
boys getting hurt so much on the Fourth
of July. That Is, of course boys do get
hurt, but It's only tbe stupid fellows who
don't know beans. A fellow who knows
what he's about has no need to get hurt.
Come along, Bob, and let s fire off this
powder that's left."
Of course, that would be great fun, and
make a fitting link of delight between tbe
dav and the crowning Joy of the evening
fireworks. Where should they go to fire
the powder? Why, the flat gravel roof on
the ell of Dick's bouse would be tbe very
place of course it would!
"Come along:
It was nice and hot on the roof in tbe
afternoon sun; the boys liked it hot. Care
fully tbey poured the remaining powder
out of tbe horn, making a pleasant little
heap beside the stout chimney, which was
to be their bulwark snd place of defense.
Then they laid the trail, very scientific
ally, round tbe chimney, and then they
stood and looked at it a little while, tasting
the pure joy of anticipation, and quite
sure that there were no boys so huppy or
so fortunate as they were in tbe world of
Boston.
"Shall we touch It off now? Oh, wait
Just a minute! think what fun it will be.
wasn t it lucky we got tnis old norn r it
holds such a jolly lot. Hi! won't the folks
In the street jump? Come on, Dick, let's
set her off now."
"All right! Get behind the chimney,
and I'll touch ber off. Ob, I say, Isn't
this fun!"
Bob hid himself behind the chimney;
Dick, slow match in hand, got well out of
the way, as he thought, and with a shout
of triumph touched off the fuse.
A blinding flash, a hiss, ns of fifty wild
cats tied by their tails and turned into tbe
tsudiug coru of the Philistines, and then
a lond cry, as if the Philistines, or some
body, were having an exceedingly bard
time of it.
Dick crouched down, with bis hands
pressed to his blackened face, and Bob
bent over him in genuine concern.
I say, Dick, old man, are you much
hurt?"
Oh. I don't know! It s my eyes I care
about, that's all. I can't see anything."
"Come along down to the doctor, old
Shall I take your band"

The Village Fourth.
Wlthlo the shsded doorway
The eager children stand.
For the arattis of stirring uiosle
Announce tlie couilng baud.
The roar of dlstsnt cannon
Mingles with the chime of bells,
While nearer still snd nearer
The Joyous tumult swells.
Dear grandma leaves her knitting.
And with baby on her knee
Conies and alts among tbe children.
Who are shouting now with glee,
For adown the street comes marching
A long and varied train
Keeping step to "Yankee Doodle,"
The merry old refrain.
Nw the last nf the proceaalna.
With lie flags snd srteamers f sy,
Whisks a rou ml a dlstsnt corner

WHY WE CELEBRATE.
July Fonrtb Commemorates Waehlna-
toa'a Victory Over Old George III.
HE American people
have been celebrating
the Fourth of July,
drinking red lemonade
and tiring red crack
ers ever since that
time back In 1770
when grandpa crawl
ed up in that ivy-mantled
tower at Philadel
phia and rang the big
cracked bell.
You see, it was this
way: An old rooster
over in England nam
ed George Threetinies
thought he owned us. He bad a dead
inch on bis own couurry ana be imagined
lie had the same on this one. He taxed
our tea, he did, and used the money to
sport around with the boys. When we
began to cave around about it be sent a
job-lot of his soldiers over here to hold us
down. This caused more Indignation end
one day the matter was brought to a focus
when a lot of our boys got together and
held a square men's meeting. Among
those present were Patrick Henry and
George Washington. I'at made a ringing
neei-h and told them that the people ought
to rise up out of their lethargy and make
this a free country. A declaration of In
dependence was written out snd signed
and the bell was rung, as we bave said.
