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. 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.

FIGHTING AS SHE IS.
Continued from Third.
and when she makes a move so does
Dewev.
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.

HIRAM'S HALF DOLLAR.
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.
