When Game Was Cheap in Kansas.
E'-en as late as 1S8G and 1887 veni-

the choicest cuts selling for 124 cents
a pound, while wild turkeys could be
had for 75 cents each when tame tur-
keys no larger sold for a dollar.
Brant or wild geese were hard to get
rid of, as no one liked their meat.
There was little fishing, not nearly so

Marston on Judge Doe's Law.
Gen. Gilman Marston of Exeter, N.
II., who has been the subject of many
stories, had uo very exalted opinioD
of the law as it was sometimes ex-
pounded by the court. The late Chief
Justice Charles Doe once ruled ad-
versely upon a point that the general
had made, and Gen. Marston retaliat-
ed as follows:
“Your honor’s law reminds me of
the definition o? law given by an old
darky. He said: ‘De law. my frens.
am like a ground glass window. It
may afford a little light to guide us
trew de dark and uncertain ways of
dis life, but de very devil hisself
couldn’t see trew it.’ ”

Silly Raptures of Poets.
The poets have said many pretty
things about the octopus. Byron
wrote: “Tenile. nautilus who steers
his prow, the seaborn sailor of the
shell canoe." James Montgomery
speaks of "the native pilot of this lit-
tle bark who put out a tier of oars on
either side, spread to the wafting
breeze a two-fold sail," while Pope
would have us “Learn of ihe little
nautilus to sail, spread the thin oar
and catch the drifting gale.”
The Gamin’s Advice.
It was in Picc adilly that, the fair mo-
tor driver could not make her mag-
nificent car go. It spluttered, it pant-
ed, it throbbed, it blocked the traffic
and drew a huge, hilarious crowd.
The lady—pretty and young to boot—
drew various levers, patted numerous
pedals, blushed furiously. Still the the
car would nor budge. Suddenly a
small voice piped out, “Put nnnuver
penny in, lidy." and the crowd laughed.
-Sheffield Telegraph.
Left It to Her.
“Ethel." sit'd a clergyman io one ot
his parishoners. whom lie sa.v with
her hair in curling pins, “if Nature
had wanted your hair to r.a i, She
would have curled it for you.” ' She
did. sir, when i was a child, but 1
suppose she thinks, now, that 1 am
old enough to do it myself.”—Punch.
No matter if you are hidden in an
obscure post, never content yourself
with doing your second best, however
uuimpoitant the occasion.—General
Phil. Sheridan.
IIow often do we hear women say: “It
6eemsas though my back would break,”
or “Don't speak to me, I am all out of
sorts”? These significant remarks prove
that the system requires attention.
Backacke and “ the blues” are direct
symptoms of an inward trouble which
will sooner or later declare itself. It
may be caused by diseased kidney’s or
some derangement of the organs.
Nature requires assistance and at once,
and Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
pound instantly asserts its curative
powers in all those peculiar ailments of
women. It has been the standby of
intelligent American women for twenty
years, and the best judges agree that
it is the most universally success-
ful remedy for woman’s ills known to
medicine.
Read the convincing testimonials of
Mrs. Holmes and Airs. Cotrely.
Airs. J. C. Holmes, of Larimore, North
Dakota, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
“ I have suffered everything with backache
ond female trouble—I let the trouble run on
until my system was in such a condition that
I was unable to bo about, and then it was I
commenced to use Lvdia Pinkham’s Vege-
table Compound. If i had only known bow
much suffering 1 would have saved I should
have taken it months sooner—for a few
weeks’treatment m do n.e well and strong.
Aly backaches and headaches are all gone and
I suffer no pain at mv monthly periods,
whereas before I took Lydia E, Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound I suffered intense pain.”
Airs. Emma Cotrely, 109 East 12th
Street, New York City, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
“ I feel it my duty to tell all suffering women
of tho relief I have founu in Lyuia. E. Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound, When I com-
mend'd taking tho Compound I suffered
everything with backaches, headaches, and
female troubles. I am completely cured and
enjoy the best of health, and 1 owe it all
to you.”
When women a re troubled with Irreg-
ular, suppressed or painful periods,
weakness, displacements or ulceration,
that bearing-down feeling, inflamma-
tion of the female organs, backache,
bloating (or flatulence), general de-
bility, indigestion and nervous prostra-
tion. or are beset with such symptoms
as dizziness, faintness, lassitude, excit-
ability, irritability, nervousness, sleep-
lessness, melancholy, “all gone” and
“ want-to-be-left-alone” feelings, blues
and hopelessness, they should remem-
ber there is one tried and true remedy.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
pound at once removes such troubles.
No other medicine has such a record
of cures of female troubles. No other
medicine in the world has received this
widespread and unqualified endorse-
ment. Refu'sc to buy any substitute.

FOOD AND STUDY
A College Man's Experience.
“All through my high school course
and first year in college,” writes an
ambitious young man. "I struggled
with my studies on a diet of greasy,
pasty foods, being especially fond of
cakes and fried things. My system
got into a slate of general disorder
and it was difficult for me to apply
myself to school work with any de-
gree of satisfaction. 1 tried different
medicines and food preparations but
did not seem able to correct the dif-
ficulty.
“Then my attention was nailed lo
Grape-Nuts food and i sampled it. I
had to do something, so I just buck-
It d down to a rigid observance of tbe
directions on the package, and in
less than no time began to feel better,
in a few weeks mv strength was re-
stored, my weight had increased, I
had a clearer head anil felt better in
every particular. My work was sini-
plv snort to what it was formerly.
“My sister's hialth was badly run
down aim site had become so nervous
that she could not attend to her
music. She wen’ on Grapo-Xiits and
had Ihe same remarkable experience
that I had. Then my brother, Frank,
who is in the postoffiee department
at Washington city and had been try-
ing to do brain work or. greasy foods,
cakes and all that, joined the Grape-
Nuts army. | .-bowed him what it
was and could do and from a broken-
down condition he has developed into
a hearty and efficient man.
“Besides these 1 could give account
of numbers of my fellow-students who
have made visible improvement men-
tally and physically by the use of
this food.” Name given by Dostum

OEFfAFfCE STARCH
High Class Druggists
AND — OTHERS.
The hotter class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity,
who devote their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies and
purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians’ prescriptions and
scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but
always under original or officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines.
They are the men’to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes
all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and
best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances.
The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of (he benefits
conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is Usually their greatest
reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup oi
Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they
are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest
remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full
name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package.
They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and
of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or
over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as
Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to 6^11 it because it gives universal sati-faction.
Oiviiig lo the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the
immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, hut there are
individual druggists to l>e found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles
of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate
to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations
sometimes have the name—Syrup of Figs’’—or “Fig Syrup” and of some piratical concern,
or fictitious iig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of
the Company— C tlifornia Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations
should oe rejected because tb y are injurious to the system. In order to sell tho imitations
they find it necessary to r< sort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealt r passes
off on a customer a preparation under the name of “Syrup of big’-” or “Fig Svrup," which
does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package,
he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his
establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and
and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agent0, and in the filling of
physicians’ prescriptions, and should l>e avoided by every one who values health and happiness.
Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand
for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may he purchased every-
