Why We Had It.

In a public school in the Bronx • principal asked for answers to the question, “Why does the President appoint a day for general thanksgiving?" Here are some of the answers actually turned in: “Because Columbus discovered America.” ■- “Because the President always gets a ttf&rey.” ' “Because wehave a holiday the day after.” “Because the President’s party won in the election.” “Because on this day the Puritans had their first dinner.” There was only one boy in the school who answered “to give thanks for all the benefits of the past year.”—New .York World.

dizzy spells also, but my worst suffering was from renal colic. After I began using Doan’s Kidney Pills I passed a gravel stone as big as a bean.

PERISH IN RACE RIOTS.

Whites and Blacks Fight Fiercely in Mississippi. In a race riot which began with the fatal wounding of a conductor by a negro on a Mobile and Ohio railway train at Crawford, Miss., and ended with an outbreak at Scooba, Miss., .at least fifteen persons were killed and perhaps a score wounded. Following the, shooting at Crawford an outbreak occurred at Wahalak in which five negroes were killed. Shortly after the departure of the troops sent to quell the disturbance rioting broke out afresh at Scooba, five miles south of Wahalak, and five negroes are reported to have been killed. Of the Scooba clash reports are conflicting, some reports placing the number of killed and wounded at a score. Troops were immediately ordered to the scene. Conductor R. N. Harrison of the Mobile and Ohio was the man shot and fatally wounded by a negro at Crawford, Miss. The negro, in turn, was shot by Harrison and before he could escape was killed by a posse. Three companions who were with the negro fled to the woods. One of these was later captured and shot to death. Tuesday night a negro became involved in an altercation with two white men aboard a train near Artesia, Miss., and when the station was reached was taken from the train and killed. In a dispatch to Gov. Vardaman Sheriff Trout of Kemper county described the situation as critical.

The retail dry goods establishment of Burden, Smith & Co. at Macon, Ga., was burned with a loss of $225,000 and estimated insurance of $125,000. The dreaded San Jose scale has been discovered in several fruit orchards in Massachusetts. This pest does great damage to fruit trees and shrubbery. Julian Salvatore, 35 years old, a New York saloonkeeper, was shot and instantly killed in his home in an east aide tenement by an unknown assassin. Engineers on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad have accepted a scale of wages submitted by the company and the dispute is ended. The increase in wages is from 15 t 6 35 cents a day. • George Miller and his wife, an aged couple in the service of Dr. F. X.

ELEVEN YEARS OF ECZEMA.

Hands Cracked and Bleeding—Nail Came OS of Finger—Cotieara Remedlea Brought Prompt Relief. “I had eczema ou. my hands for about eleven years. The hands cracked open in many places and bled. One of my fingers 'was so bad that the nail came off. I had often heard of cures by the Cutlcura Remedies, but had no confidence in them as I had tried so many remedies, and they all had failed to cure me. I had seen three doctors, but got no relief. Finally my husband said that we would try the Cutlcura Remedies, so we got a cake of butiepra Soap, a box of Cutlcura Ointmentrand two bottled of Cutlcura Resolvent JPills. Of course I keep Cutlcura Soap all the time for my bands, but the one cake of Soap and half a box of Cutlcura Ointment cured them. It Is surely a blessing for me to have my bands well, and I am very proud of hating tried Cutlcura Remedies, and recommend them to all suffering with eczema. Mrs. Eliza A. Wiley, R. F. D.

Short Lesson in History.

The Spaniards had driven out the Moors. “Seven hundred years,” they said, "“is a long enough visit for anybody to make, but they wouldn’t take any hints, and we just had to get rid of them somehow.” Later, however, as will be remembered, the people of this same country got on their ear and wanted to fight somebody when it was intimated that they had made their little visit in Cuba .several hundred years too long.—Chicago Tribune. : ■ ■ • ■ State of Ohio, City of Toledo, Lucas County, ss.: Frank J.

'X. jpFmIHE Laxative of I UkL Known Quality I There are two classes of remedies; those of known qualrow mL * ty and are permanently beneficial in effect, acting’ B y EK) gently, in harmony with nature, when nature needs assistCance; and another class, composed of preparations of crfpsT ' 'V unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting tempo- ' W rarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural BU- functions unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever Pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fiff Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup, in wWch the 'wholesome Californian blue figs are used to con- . •'/ /jlWl -• tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy < all reme(^es to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system •z--’?:’'>7 gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming constlj pation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active prinei- 1 ples antl flHuNty are known to physicians generally, aud the 1 remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with j tlie favor of many millions of well informed persons who know ’", £ V / °f thcir own Personal knowledge and from actual experience ‘ i that it is a most excellent laxative remedy. We do not claim that a'/ it will cure all manner of ills, but recommend it for what it really represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence, containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character. There are two classes of purchasers; those who are informed as to the quality of what the* buy and the reasons for the excellence of articles of exceptional me. ft, and who do not lack courage to go elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, j and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect IB its effects if they do not get the genuine remedy. i I To the cretlit °f tho druggists of the United States be it said rl' tbat ncarl y aU °f them value their reputation for professional || Integrity and the good will of their customers too highly to offer imitations of the | j Genuine—Syrup of Figs II manufactured by the California Fig Byrup Co., and In order to t - buy 10 ff < ‘ uulne art *cle and to get its bemdicial effects, one has || II j on *y t 0 Bote * when Purchasing, the full nahe-of the Company—* || * California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every |g Vk package.

Armenians Good Citizens.

~ It Is asserted that in proportion to tfieir numbers here the Armenians have more voters than any other nationality among all immigrants. It is said that there are 50,000 Armenians in the country, and that 35,000 of them are voters. This being the case, It has Been asked whether they form a desirable source from which to recruit citizens. In reply Dr. Andrew White is quoted by Armenia as saying: “It is one of the finest races in the -worl<F*pfiysicnlly,* morally, intellectually. If" I were asked to name the most desirable races to be added by immigration to the American popula 5 tioh I would name among the very first the Armenians.” . - The most correct electric meter Is said to have been the invention of an Armenian. It may be surprising to know that the green color of the American bank notes was invented by an Armenian youth years ago. It is interesting to notice that while American missionary societies send missionaries among the Armenians there are seventeen ordained ministers of Armenian birth In this country laboring in American churches, preaching the gospel to Americans. An Armenian, Haig Patigion of Fresno, was the winner In the McKinley monument contest, and It was only the other day that another young artist, L. D. Yaconbion, captured the highest prize ($2,000) at Yale among hundreds of native scholars. The Armenians In this country publish fourteen periodicals in their own language, chiefly in Boston, New York and California. Wherever they go they establish libraries and reading rooms. If you go to any public, library the librarian will tell you that the Armenians attend that Institution, too, more regularly and draw more books from It proportionately than any other class.

There are only five voters In a township near Santa Fe, N. .M., and four of them serve on the election board. There is no doubt how the four will Vote, since two are Republicans and two are Democrats; but the fifth man is in doubt. For his benefit speeches have been delivered, red fire has been burned amj campaign literature has been supplied. The voter declares he will not cast his ballot until the last minute before the polls close. He believes in making the electio.n officers earn their money.

We Are Not So Old.

* Recent studies by Prof. Penck toM Alps, combined with those of Hugs Obermaier, a distinguished pupil jM Penck, in the Pyrenees, have had at effect of considerably shortening the estimate of the length of time that has elapsed since prehistoric man left the marks of his presence in Europe. It now appears that both in the Alps and the Pyrenees there exist contemporary geological records showing four successive periods of alternate advance afid retreat of glaciation. Heretofore it has been considered probable that prehistoric men dwelt in the neighborhood of these mountains during the last two invasions of the ice, but the new evidence is regarded as proving that it was only of the last, or fourth glacial advance that man was a living witness. ====== —===== . y. ....
