without any provocation. Mrs. Prior, a former attache of the omev, went into the vault with her infant child it\ her arms to use the telephone. She closed the door to shut off the hearing of her conversation. When she was through she discovered that the combination had slipped a cog and that she was locked in. The office employees had left, because it was a half holiday, and she tried vainly for several hours to make herself heard. She finally struck and idea and called up the janitor at the State House and told him the preoicament she was in. In a few minutes workmen were using cold steel on the erratic lock and after five hours of hard work the former stenographer and her crying baby was released, litis same lock went wrong at the time Paterson was clamororing for help because of the big fire, and cut off communication for several hours.

The seasrm opens on April l. and continnes until the last of June, and the dredging season begins on September i. Owing * to the severe storms of the past winter the oyster spawn has been damaged to such an extent that it is almost useless to dredge for and plant it.* In this industry - over 500 boats, employing over 3000 persons, all ordinarily employed in the localities indicated. Oct of this . number, at least one-half of the boats and men have stopped work and laid up.

Agents for business firms have been looking for sites for building purposes, and they - arc known to have had an eye On the beach front. The buildings there are mostly all in a dilapidated condition, and it would be a big improvement to the town if they were removed and their place given up to manufacturing sites.

When Monsieur Clemenccau the French Chamber of Dcputit came, for some reason, the idol of

working man; but his popularity, according to the course of nature, brought its penalties. He was besieged by all lorts of people, who came merely to afle lucstions, and Sometimes they w-erc luestions of the roost trivial sort. im He was originally a doctor, and used a to give advice for nothing at certain mi hours of the day. One morning a working man entered his room, and Clemenceau said, without looking up from

Three minutes Uter he found the nu

"There is nothing the matter with you." said the Doctor, when h^Jyad

"Then what did you come for?" "To consult you on a political ques“But what did you strip for?" "J thought you wanted an illustration

A Bait of BotUMDOko Skint A peculiarly interesting and highly valued curloglty In the possession of an Ai Grube pleti skin No fewer than 125 rattlesnakes were requisitioned.to supply the skins for this purpose. Four different specimens of rattlers were comprised in tbs suit—black, brown, yellow and

Even Mr. Gruber's hat and stick are covered with skins, rendering the attire most extraordinary. The owner would not part with It for any sum ol money, for It la the only one of Its kind In exlst-

Health will come with all its blessings to those who know the way, and it is mainly a question of right-living, with all the term implies, but the e(Torts which strengthen the system, the games which refresh and the foods which nourish are important, each In a way, while It Is also advantageous to have knowledge of the best methods of promoting freedom from unsani-

tary conditions. To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that Hk medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known v&lne, and the one remedy which acts most beneficially and pleasantly, as a laxative, is—Syrnp of Figs—manufactured by

the California Fig Syrnp Co.

With a proper understanding of the fact that many physical ills are of a transient character and yield promptly to the gentle action of Syrup of Figs, gladness and comfort come to the heart, and if one would remove the torpor and strain and congestion attendant upon a eon-

opganle trouble if remember that the most permanently gratifying results will follow personal cooperation with the beneficial effect* of Syrnp of Figs. It is for sale by all reliable druggists. Price fifty cent* per bottle. The excellence of Syrup of Figs comes from the beneficial effects of the plants used in the combination and also from the method of manufacture which ensures that perfect purity and uniformity of product essential in a perfect family laxative. All the members of the family from the youngest to the most advanced in years may use it whenever a laxative is needed and share alike in its beneficial effects. We do not claim that Syrnp of Figs Is the only remedy of known value, but it possesses this great advantage over all other laxatives that it acts gently and pleasantly without disturbing natural functions, in any way, as it-Is free from every objectionable quality or substance. To get its beneficial effects it is always necessary to buy the genuine and the full name of the Co.—California Fig Syrup Co.—is printed on the front of every package. (0L2IF&I8MA
