Cleveland's One-Cent Warrant.
Ex-President Orover Cleveland holds
the only . warrant for one cent ever
drawn by the Secretary of the Treas
ury upon the United States Treasurer.
It was in payment of tho balance of
tho salary due the Democratic chief
tain at the close of his term in 1807,
and Its issuance was made necessary
by one of those mistakes that are rare
on the part of the expert bookkeepers
engaged in running the accounts of
the government.
Every quarter the President of the
United States Is entitled to three
checks one for $4,166.00 and two for
$4,106.07. The table of methods of
paying government salaries shows
that If the $50,000 a year for the Pres.
ldent Is divided into twelve equal In
stallments, one for each month, the
amount will be $4,106.00 2-3, but the
two-thirds of a cent cannot be paid
at the end of a month, and so the
practice is to send the President a
check for $4,100.00 one month and the
other two months of the quarter the
amount is $4,100.07.
In some manner President Cleve
land failed to get a check one month
for the extra cent that was due him,
and when the books were balanced at
the close of his term it was detected.
With all due solemnity tjie officers of
the treasury drew the famous warrant
for one cent, and Mr. Cleveland re
ceived it with the same amount of se
riousness. He has never cashed the
warrant.

Bela In Scotland.
Although eels abound in Scotch waters
and art caught in great quantities, they
are not considered lit food there. No
matter how plentiful and how very fine
and large they may be in any district
of Scotland, no native will eat one. The
objection to the eel is said to be based
on its serpentlike appearance and the
fact that it is not overfastidious as to
what it feeds on.

as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play when in health
and how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor
life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and
the wholesome diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health
should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of
every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature and if at any time a
remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence
should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial
in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by
the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in
many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and
excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use.
Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, be
cause they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action.' We inform
all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained,
by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most benefici
ally and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian
blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret rem

approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication.
Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup
of Figs always has the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co.
plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in
bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty
