The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the Califoknia Fig Syrup 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 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 Fig 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. CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. BAN FRANCISCO. CAL.

HN my opinion Kitty Clarke was the prettiest girl lu the town of Bran don, nnd Brandon was famous for Its pretty girls. The fact that she was 18 aci I was 40 may have Intensified her beauty to me, for I can remember now that on one or two occasions I came very nearly marking three or four persons off my list of acquaintances because they had spoken rather slight ingly of my taste In feminine beauty. As I have stated, I was 40 nnd Kitty was twenty-two years younger, but what is a little thing like time In the consideration of a matter which lasts for eternity, as love surely does? Not that I was in love with Miss Clarke, but I held her In such lofty esteem that love Itself could not have been a very great improvement upon the con dition of my feelings. As for her beauty, I must confess that masculine eyes 40 years old are possibly some what more susceptible to feminine beauty aged 18 tunn would be true of the reverse proposition. I had known Kitty about a year, and being rich, as wealth Is computed In towns the size of Brandon, and Kitty being poor, as poverty is computed al most anywhere, I was received with more enthusiasm perhaps than might have otherwise obtained. Even then there were times when I have seen Kitty smile on a nephew of mine, who was my cashier, in a fashion which forced me to wonder If she would have done so had he been 40 and rich, In stead of 25 and nearly as poor as she was. But I did not permit trifles of that sort to worry me long, for I felt with the sublime faith of a man In my position that when I was ready to ask Kitty to be mine, Kitty was going to be ready and waiting to answer affirm atively. There was not another girl In Bran don who wouldn't have been glad of Kitty's opportunities, and why not Kitty? "Why not, indeed?" I chuckled, well satisfied with myself; and I went about my affairs whistling with much con tent. On such occasions my nephew was wont to look up from his desk as J passed along, but he would say Both lug. Next after Kitty my most particular admiration was the widow Trice, her aunt, with whom she lived, and In con junction with whom she taught a small private school, whereby tuey managed to eke out a fairly comfortable exist ence In a community where existence came cheaply. Manv is the time I have Intimated to aunt Price that some day life would be easier for her, nil on account of Kitty, nnd It was only necessary that she wait a little longer with the same beau tiful patience which had characterized her life even when the shadows wer heaviest. Then I felt an overwhelm lnz desire to put my nrms around her plump and pretty waist and let her refet her tired head on the bosom or ner ae votp.l nenhew-In-law-to-be, but I al ways restrained myself, though there were times when there were tears In her eyes, and I have observed that when women weep they weep more satisfactorily If they have a manly bosom to sob their sorrows out upon. Incidentally I might say that Kitty's chaperon was a dozen or more years older than her charming niece and showed very plainly In every line of her face and graceful curve of her fig ure where Kitty got her beauty, and this was a comfort to me, for I was fairly possessed of good looks, as had been mv father and mother before me. nnd their brothers and sisters, so that t hml nn ancestral predisposition to hereditary traits along the beauty lines as It were. One evening I called upon Kitty with mv mind fully made up that would propose to her on that occasion as I had been growing more and more frequent about the Trice cottage, and people would soou begin to taiii open iv. ns thev had already begun to wills per. Dick, my nephew, was there when I arrived, but as he had been there manv times previously anu aiway obediently arose and departed when his uncle came, I gave the matter no thought and cheerily told the boy he mlirht take my trap and go driving with some of his friends, as I would walk lionip. When the front door ciosea ana shortly thereafter we heard the noise of wheels dying away down the street t fhniiirlit I saw a look or pain in Kit r'a face, but I did not speak of it, That trap would be hers In a few months, and then the dear girl would never have to sit at home for lack of Imp nwn vehicle. For an hour or more I talked to Kit mnrh ns I had done on other even ins. nnd then I asked her to be my r . I waited a moment when I had asked .i,t imnnrtnut ciuestlon ana was Bur prised that Kitty did not throw herself in my nrms, or, at least, with a sby blush, wait for me to iuk u. On the contrary, she began to cry, and I sklng me to excuse her, she went out of the room. I do not know that any man whe eads this story has ever asked a worn an to marry him. and then have hei walk out and leave him sitting alout with his thoughts. To him I need nol state how I felt; to any other It would be impossible. Ten minutes or, perhaps, a dozen. though It seemed to be a week, had passed and then the door opened and arose to meet Kitty and receive hei affirmation of my suit, the dear, nerv ous Irttle creature. But it was not Kitty. "My dear madam," I stammered, as Mrs. Trice entered. Good-evening, Mr. Filkins," respond eu ivitty s aunt, coming forward witfi her hand extended, which I took, for, ns I Lnve previously said, I liked the widow Trice. "Be seated," she added with a wave of her soft white hand to ward the chair I had just left, at the I same time seating herself in the chair Kitty had occupied I was entirely unbalanced by this procedure, but I obeyed. "Will you be kind enough to ex " began, when she Interrupted me. "It Is no more than is due you, Mr. Filkins," she said, "under the very ex j traordinary circumstances. Indeed 'THEX I ASKED HER TO BE MY WIFE.'1 Mr. Filkins," she went on, getting more excited every minute, "I don't see what ever possessed a man of your age to talk as you did to a child like Kitty. You are old enough to know better, and I m sure If I had had any Idea vou were not to be trusted I am very sure never would have permitted you to have seen her except In my presence. Why, you are the last man on earth I would have thought would be making love to my niece; and Kitty thought so, too. lou are old enough to be hei father and ought to be ashamed of yourself, and It was such a painful sur prise to Kitty, too." By this time I saw I had made a mis take, for I do have sense enough to know beans when the bag Is open, and I tried to stop Mrs. Trice and explain and apologize, but nothing can stop a woman when she once gets a start, and the widow had It. "Why, Mr. Filkins," she flew along, Kitty had no more idea of your want- Ink to marry her than she had of the man in the moon. She never thought of you as a husband, and she always talked to me about you as the loveliest uncle " "Stop there,-, mnda in," I thundered, rising In such majesty and might that she was forced to silence. "Stop there. It Is her uncle I want to be. Will you " It was now the widow's turn to be embarransed, and she broke in oa me with wild impetuosity. "I don't mean that," she exclaimed. "It's Dick, your nephew. Haven't you ever discovered that they are In love with each other? Are you blind or just plain stupid?" Goodness knows how I ever did gel out of It, or the widow, either, though she didn't altogther, for she is now Mrs. Filkins, and Dick and Kitty live Just around the corner, as happy as two Dees in a noneysuciue or as their un- 1 1 4.
