en An Excellent Combination. The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the 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 as 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.

As I told you in the first part of my 1 etter, about taking part in battle of Caloocan, it was something that I wouldn't haye - miesed for anything. We heard that our forces were to take the city, so after retreat, Earl Sanders, A. J. Gordon and myself took our guns and made a break for the firing line, which we reached about 8 o'clock at night. We immediately proceeded to the Kansas regiment, Co. K, where we were acquainted with some of the boys. As we all came off of guard that morn ing, and being worn out from excite ment, we soon fell aBleep. But it was short, for about 9:45 we were fired upon, but in ten minutes we frightened them off. But for a brief time only, for soon tbey reappeared and the great fight wag on. It was a grand sight. We couldn t seethe enemy, but the flash of their guns was enough and we turned loose on them. We continued the fight for half an hour, and all was still until 2 o'clock in the morning when tbey opened fire on us again and came with in sixty yards of our entrenchments. We sent volley after volley into their lines, but tbey gave it right back to us, and I could hear the Mauser bullets sing "My Country 'Tis of Thee" over my head. Firing was kept np on both sides until daylight, and then we made a gallant charge, driving the Filipinos from their entrenchments with a heavy loss. Our loss in this battle has not given, but I think it was very light. Two men were wounded by my aide, but I think they will recover. The Filipinos then retreated to the city of Caloocan where the big fight was to come in the day, but I couldn't stay any longer. The sharpshooters were still firing from the trees and we got a squad to round them up. We brought down six of them and I am credited with getting one, as the other fellows say they didn't hit him, eo it must have been me. The officers of the Kansas regiment are a fine set of men cool-headed. They were not the letet b't excited. The captain would walk up and down the trenches and eay, "Boys, we will have to give them some more volleys to the left as it seems to be getting thick over .there," and alter we would get through, he would say, "That's the way to fix those Negroes, give 'em b 1." Even during the night he would come and talk to us, and invited Sanders to roll up In his blanket and Earl did. Just imagine a lieutenant and a private from a different regiment rolled up in one DianKec. J. would like to see our officers do that. When we got back we were fired into the guard, and fined $6 and five days, but that was cheap. I wouldn't -have missed that night's fight for foO. I got what I long wished for to be under fire When the first command came to load-, I wasn't next to myself, and in the ex citement I never got to shoot. I didn't even get my musket loaded. It wasn't because I waa afraid of anything, bnt I was rattled. After the first few shots were fired, and I got a smell of powder, I was just at home and could scarcely shoot rapidly enough. Its a fine sight to see a whole line fire at once; it makes vou want to fight. I would like to tell yon bow it started, but save no more time to devote to this. Don t worry about me, as l have gone through all the battles I will ever get into, unless I run off again. Notice.

He Dropped It In the Hat at Zeke'a Silver Weddlns and Wanted It Back. Last spring Zeke Murch and his wife celebrated their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. Zeke lives on a side hill farm in one of the outlying districts in a Maine town. He and his wife have always worked hard and been "saving" as folks have to be who make a dollar out of a farm in-this particular part of the Pine Tree state. . Among their visitors that night were Hiram and Mirandy Treat. Now the Treats were even more saving than the Murches, and the latter were said to be 6nugger than the bark of a yellow birch. But they felt in duty bound to give something. Not having bought any plate, they could not add to the col lection of pickle jars and casters which adorned the sitting-room table, so they waited till the hat was passed. Passing the hat may strike some readers as a novel feature to introduce at a wedding anniversary, but Ezekiel didn't propose to let anyone go away without a gentle hint that those who accept invitations to a silver wedding must settle in the white metal. For the benefit of those as didn't have a chance ter get a present, we win now pass round the hat an' those as feel moved so to do can add their piece of silver," explained the host. When the hat reached Hiram he pulled out his wallet, carefully abstract ed a half dollar, looked at it lovingly and then dropped it into the chapeau. That night, after they got home, Hi ram and Mirandy were talking it over, speculating on the probable value of those two pickle jars and trying to set tle in their minds how much was put into the general collection. There was 50 cents that I give 'em," said Mirandy. What!" cried Hiram, "you give 50 cents?" - ... Why, yes, Hiram, we cal-lated to give em that mueh, you know. We talked it over beforehand, and agreed that we could spare it. "But Lord bless ye, wife, said the husband, quivering with excitement, "don't ye, can't ye, understand I dropped a half dollar in the hat my self?" It was a late hour before the two ceased talking about that lost coin, and the next morning Hiram was no more reconciled to the accidental generosity than the night before. All summer long it worried him, and he couldn't keep from thinking how far that half dollar would have gone in trade. Lately Hiram and Zeke had a settling up of some old accounts for wood and labor. Their figures tallied, and. after the money had shifted hands Hiram's thoughts reverted .... that unintended gift. . . . "Zekiel," he began, softly. "Yes, Hiram." "You remember that silver wedding of yours last spring?" He was begin ning with diplomatic evasion of the real point at issue. "O, yes." Zeke remembered all about that. "Wa'al, when the hat was passed round, ye remember I put in 50 cents?" "Yes, Hiram, I remember." "Wa'al, unbeknown to me, my wife, Mirandy, she put in 50 cents." "Ya'as,'said Ezekiel, slowly, but very carefully avoiding any show of under standing. "Wa'al, we didn't intend to give but one of 'em, and I want you to give me back the half dollar that Mirandy give ye." ;l; . - Ezekiel said nothing- . "It's no more'n right ye should," pleaded Hiram. "We didn't intend to gin ye but half a dollar. We can't spare that other 50 cents nohow. I ve wor ried about it all summer long an' I made up my mind to speak out to ye about it. I've thought it all over an Mirandy, she s thought it all over an we sartmly can t spare the 50 cents. Ezekiel had been gathering himself for a burst of scorn. "Wa'al, of all the dog-gonedest mean critters I ever sot my eyes on ye're a leetle the wust: No, I wont give ye back your half a dollar!" But Hiram wasn't going to be touched by scorn. The justice of his cause led him to make one last appeal. "No, I ain't mean; Zeke, for here I've waited till now without sayin" a word. Just think on it, Zeke, you've had the interest on that half a dollar for over six months an' you oughter be all fair an wilhn' to give it back to me. Won t ye, Zeke?" But. Zekiel's ear was deaf to pleading and he still retains the half dollar. Lewiston (Me.) Journal. ' . Happy is tha man ' or woman who can eat a good heatty meal without Buffering afterward.
