Supposing two people were riding to gether, and wished to stop somewhere to make a call. On dismounting, they would tie each horse's head to the other's tail. In this state the horses could neither move backward nor for ward; at the most, they could go round in a circle. N. Y. Sun. An Excellent Combination. The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by th California Fiq 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 enubling 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 Sybvp Co. only. In order to get its beneficial effects and to avoid imitations, please remember the lull name oi the Company printed on the front of every package. CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. AN FRANCISCO.

If ! FORMING A PARTNERSHIP. V!V.-.-V.SVV.5V.1-:l! (Q) man summer morning a voung turned down a Yarmouth TOW. He wns n hnmlsnmo vniinc fellow, somewhat shabbily dressed, and as he walked he carelessly took stock of his surroundings. Near the bottom of the row a win dow was open, and by a geranium that bloomed in a pot, the first and only flower he had seen, a girl was leaning lightly on her elbow. In the opposite doorway a woman, with a red face and brandishing a broom in her hand, was barring the entrance against a herculean man In au oily frock. "I ax ag'ln, John 'Wade," shouted he of the oily, "if you're a-going to sea?" "An" I tell you nsr'ln. skipper." re plied a dogged voice from the Interior. "I ain't a-goin' to Rea." "Then." cried the giant, wildly, "what am I to do? Here's the wessel ready to sail, an' you a-sulkin'. But as sure as my name is Bill Thompson I'll police ye." The girl at the window, who seemed used to such scenes, smiled. Looking up at her, and seeing for the first time that she was lifcjlcep mourning, the young man snilliCso. ':') "Am I of any use?" he-said tVthe wearer of the oily. "I want a joDV "If you're ready an' willin', my lad," he said, "you're of use. But If you ain't, you ain't. D'ye want a berth?" "I want everything," answered the young man In a low tone. "I'm home less and penniless. But I'm a lands man." "That ain't a bit o' consequence. What d'ye say? Will ye go? TIs for eight weeks." "I don't care If It's for eight years. There's nothing to stop me here." "Come on, then," cried the delighted fisherman. "But, stop what's jour name, my lad?" "John Smith," was the answer; and his nesitation escaped the skipper. ell. Smith, for fear of accidents some one had better take vmir tun inv "Who'll ye leave .ft with?" The young' man attain looked nn at the window, at the sweet, mire face above him. The gaze of the rouirh sea giant beside him followed his glance. "On, I see." he exclaimed: "vou're goln' to take It, miss. Well, you know where to go. Old Tom Price Is the owner, an' the name of the wessel Is the Saucy Lass. Come on. Smith, no more hankyln". Your sweetheart 'till take your money." And he seized the newly shipped by the arm. No, no," she cried. In confusion. "I do not know the gentleman. I I " But already Smith, with the hand of the skipper on his nrm. had been hur ried out of earshot, and before she could reach the door the two had van ished down the row. Eight weeks later a vounrr m.in. bronzed and hearty, stood on Yar mouth quay. It was John Smith. Ills sea rig had Riven place to a decent suit of "clothes, and he seemed pondering which way to go. At last he wandered away to the seashore. Finding a snot where mile blue violets lay low among the sea grass, he flung himself down and pulled out an envelope. It contained a post office order wrapped In a sheet of note paper, and on this was written "Kath arine Perry." The amount was the Bum due to him on his pay card. He had been to the house, but found her gone. Yet here was his money left by her In this form. On his homeward path he stopped to buy a morning paper. It was the rule at Y'armouth to allow news time to mature before It was distributed, and Smith was handed the Standard with a short bark. Quite undisturbed he began to look It over. Suddenly he caught his breath; his gaze was riveted on an advertisement that read thus: "George Xeal Is earnestly requested to communicate with Messrs. Furness ti Wapp, solicitors, Lincoln's Inn Fields, where he will hear something to his advantage. Any person knowing of the whereabouts of the said O. N. and communicating the same to the above firm will he suitably rewarded." Before noon that day John Smith had shaken the dust of Y'armouth from his feet and was on his way to London. As be burst Into the office a carefully dressed old gentleman wearing a pair of gold-rlinmed glasses stepped for ward to greet him. This he did by nearly shaking his arm off. "Why, my dear George," he cried, 'how glad I am to see you! We have been advertising for you all over the country, now is It. you haven't seen our advertisement before?" In a few words tne young man told ft his tale. The old solicitor listened with much Interest, then his face grew grave. "So you hare not heard the news. my boy." he said. "Your uncle Is dead." "Dead!" repeated George Xeal, sadlv, "and we parted In auger merely be cause I refused to follow the profes sion he had chosen for me." "If we thought oftener of the king of terrors there would be fewer quarrels." said the lawyer kindly, "but he, too, was very sorry, George, though when you hear the rest you may think he took an odd way of showing It. I wns called In to draw up a fresh will. Subject to one condition, he made his property over to von." "And that condition?" "Excuse me a moment." said Mr. Furness looking at his watch. "I ex pect a lady here presently; let us step Into my private room." "And that condition?" said George Xeal, firmly. "Now, my dear boy." said the law yer, "don't tire up. Y'ou have had your way, let the dead man have his. In some little mlsearble seaport on the east edast your uncle had what nearly every successful man has nowadays n poor relation. It came to his knowl edge that this poor relation had died and left a daughter. This was quite enough for your uncle, and he made It a requisite condition that you marry her. The lady's name Is " "Stop!" With his face expressing all the bitterness he felt the young man rose. Footsteps had been coming nearer every moment, and Involuntarily Neal's face turned to the door. The clerk came first, then the lawyer, with old- fashioned courtesy, came . forward to Intercept the visitor. "Miss Kate Perry," he said, "and this, my dear young lady. Is George Xeal." All the blood that was In Xeal's body rushed to his face. He stood grasping at the back of his chair, un able to utter a word. Then the little hand thntthe lawyer held started, trem bling so violently that It attracted Mr. Furness' attention, and he hastily led her to a chair. "It Is possible," he said, "that my Introduction conies a trifle late. Am I wrong In this sur mise?" "I I," stammered Kate, "Mr. Smith," then she stopped, blushing deeply. At last George Xeal's tongue was un tied and he hastened to the rescue. "I have met this young lady before," he said, "under very singular circum stances; we now meet under circum stances stranger still. An explanation Is due to her, and If you will give a lit tle time to explain " "Certainly, certainly," said Mr. Fur ness, rubbing his hands. "Take all Ike time you require. I am quite content to let Cupid take my place as media tor," and with a beaming face he bowed himself out. When It seemed to the despairing clerk that the best part of the day had gone Mr. Furness went back to his strangely met visitors. "May I hope," he said, gently, "that the explanation has not been a tire some one?" "Xo," said George, with a glowing face. "To me It hasn't. I have offered my dear Kate the property without In cumbrance. But she has refused to ac cept It on any such terms. What are we to do?" "My advice," said the old lawyer, "Is to go Into partnership. And If t.ie wishes of a dry bit of legal parchment, who had a love dream once, can fol low you far, they will repeat good icck and much happiness." Old-Time Sur.'er. ,A grim souvenir of an old time war was on yU'v In a cutler's window In the east end of Loudon recently.
