Gladness Comes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys ical ills, wmch vanish before proper ef fortsgentle efforts pleasant efforts , rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are uot due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, syrup 01 i igs, prompt ! ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health, its benencial ' effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal ; cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore . all important, in order to get its bene- ficial effects, to note when you pur i chase, that you have the genuine arti , cle, which is manufactured by the Cali j fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by ' all reputable druggists.

H H.GRlNSON9,Atlanl,Ga. moa urasrtnii mum uiii w,nuouwi w vm A Member of the First Kentucky Bat tery Who Was In Twenty-lereo Hard ronght Battlei. From the Capital. Journal, Salem, Oregon. Salem, Or., oan boast of no better known private oitizen than Captain William Benson. To the old rest dents, as well ai to the school obildren, nu ngure ii ai familiar as that of Ml Hood or the state oapital. Captain Benson, of the First Ken tnoky battery, detaohed from the 113th Illinois infantry, ii now seventy-four yean old, and bai taken part in twen ty -seven hard-fought battles, besides a great many interesting skirmishes. He is pensioned for injury in the breast, from conenssion of a shell, and for a wound in the right shoulder, oansed by leaping from a oar while be ing taken aa a prisoner from Anderson ville to Fine Forest. For the past twen ty years he has suffered almost oon tinnally from malaria and shortness of breath, and has been afflioted with rheu matism in the legi and shoulders to inoh an extent that he had not seen a well day in all that time. He was also afflioted with oonstipation and piles. Eighteen years ago Mr. Benson removed from Illinois to Oregon, on aooonnt of his failing health, and sinoe the olose of the war has not been able to support himself by manual labor, and has had almost oonatant medioal attendanoe by physicians of all the dif ferent sobooli of praotioe. To lee him now, tipping the scales at 210 pounds, enjoying regular health, his cheeks mantled with a fresh, rosy complex ion, walking off proud and ereot, with a fresh, firm, vigorous step for a man in bis seventy-fourth year, is enongh to make one believe in the possibility of fonce do ion fabled Fountain of Youth. Captain Benson is not only a hero of the Civil war, but a man worth con siderable property. He sayi he would part willingly with his interest in all his earthly possessions rather than be plaoed back in the debilitated oondition where he lingered for a soore of years. "I suppose," said he, laughing, "that what yon are after is an adver tisement for Pink Fills, but I want to say that I am very glad to give yon this testimonial, as I am oonvinoed it will relieve a great deal of suffering, if it oan beoome widely known. I am firmly oonvinoed, after an experienoe of over fifty years with both patent medioinei and physicians, that if every family oonld keep these Pink Pills in the honse they would never need a doctor. I have paid out over $1,000 for doo- toring with the best pybsioiani at Salem, bnt not a cent for myself sinoe a year and a half ago. It wai then that I first heard of Pink Pills. I got the first box at a drug store, and had not mnoh confidence in them when I began to take them. I took one box before I got muoh benefit, but by the middle of the second box the pain in my breast began to disappear, and the rheumatism in my shoulder went away. The shortness of breath was alleviated, and I began to sleep like an infant For the first time in twenty years I realized the lnxury of sound sleep, and my system began to reouperate By the end of the third box it had taken away all my rheumatism and stiffness in the musoles and joints, and I began to feel as nimble ai a boy. and oould do ai good a day i work as ever, but for my wounds. I enjoy the best health I ever enjoyed in my life. My natural weight inoreased from ten to twenty pounds. My flesh Is solid and my skin ii ai olein and fresh ai a baby's. I had tried every remedy un der the inn for pilsi, but without re lief. At timet they were near killing me. Soiatica rheumatism bad laid me up in bed for monthi at a time. Pink Pills have oured all these things, and 1 have not felt an indication of pilei or rbeumatiim for eight months. People wbo see me now can not believe that I am the lame man. My faoe looked drawn, my eyei were bloodshot, my kin wai scurvied, and I oould not have bad a worse appearance if I had un dergone starvation on an artio eipedi tlon. I oan now eat whatever I hare a relish for, and all I want of it, and it don't hurt me. "I nsed to be oonstipated oontfnu ally, and I have takm wheelbarrow loads of other pills, but never got per fect relief nntil I tried Pink Pills. I am now taking two pills a week, and lometimei I go without them for a month, and, ai I said, I enjoy oontinnoui good health. I have got rid of rhenmatism and everything else. Pink Pilli perform wonders. They go to work and fix up the kidneyi and back and the whole system. Three days after first taking them you feel the effect all over. The worst trouble with me was, I had got 10 1 oould not re member anything. My mind wai olouded. A month after I began tak ing Pink Pilli I first began to notioe my mind beoome dear and aotive, and my memory ii perfeotly restored, a happy obange from the feeling of itu- pidity I had suffered. Thii medioine ba' fixed me up and made a new man of me. It ii only the other day that Dr. Reynolds, Dean of the Salem Medioal College, remarked to me that I wai looking hale and hearty. I said Yes, and no thanks to yon dootors. It is Pink Pills that have done it He poo- booed at it But I know what I am talking about, and he had to admit what I said." (Signed) wm. Benson.

Her gown was of white satin, but one could scarcely see the material because of the heavy gold embroidery. Her neck and arms were simply covered with diamonds, and on her head she wore a high crown of precious stones, to whioh was attached her veil of silk and gold. On either side of her head were orna ments of gold and jewels, with threads of gold reaching to the ground, of such weight that the bridesmaids had to car ry them. She was one of the most beau tiful women ever seen, and when she was seated on the throne it was a pic ture. She and her surroundings were beautiful beyond description.

"Consequently," said she, "we might call ourselves radii of that circle." The young mnn nodded. "Two rndll of a circle are equal to a third radius of the same circle." He did not contradict her. "It Is established beyond all possible dispute that things which are equal to the same thing are equal to one an other." The young man was Interested, but still puzzled.

One of the Thousands Whom Palne's Celerty Compound Has Cured. 1 The following long and explicit let ter from Hon. A. A. Bennet tells its own itory.

Wells, Riohardson & Co., Burling ton, Vt: Gentlemen I tako- muoh pleasure in being able to add my mite to tbe great mass of testimony in praise of Paine's oelery compound. In November last I found myself much ran down by overwork. For sev eral weeks I had been obliged to work eighteen hours daily out of the twenty four, and was in oonsequenoe in a Btate of physical and nervoui exhaustion. At the suggestion of a friend I com menced the use of Faine'i oelery com pound, with the result that my strength has steadily improved, and I find my self in far better health than I have known for years. I believe alio that it has enabled me to escape my periodioal attaok of rheu matism, as every season sinoe that time with tbe advent of the oold, damp weather, I have suffered severely from that disease in a ohronio form. So far this winter I have esoaped without a single twinge of my old enemy. I very oheerfully reoommend it to any one in similar need, in tbe full belief that it will be helpful in every oase. Very slnoerely youn, A. A.

Her mother, who is now with her abroad, is a pianist of note, and her father, Professor G. W. Groenevelt, is a gifted musician, organist, composer and musical director. Miss Groenevelt play ed boforo Paderewski on his first visit to this country. He gave her work unstint ed praise and advised her to go to Vienna and complete her studies under his old master, the great lsclietizky. She acted upon this advice and lately went to Ber lin to perfect herself. Recently she gave a recital at the Conservatory of Berlin and won high plaudits. Sho also played privately before the great conductor, Nikisch, who warmly praised hr r work. A sister, Miss Grace Groenevelt, is a gifted and promising violinist. Boston Woman's JournaL Women's Pete.
