"How would you define diplomacy?" asked the student. "Diplomacy," answered the man of experience, "is the art of conducting a quarrel without becoming visibly angry." "May, you're just making a fool of that man!" "Nothing of the kind. It was only last night that he told me he was self-made." Odd Sum Summer H Odd Summer House A unique "summer house" is to be seen in Washington on the grounds of the United States Agricultural Department. It is formed of the hollow trunk of one of the great redwood trees of California and is big enough to shelter a large family. The reader is not advised to write for a couple of these summer houses, simple as they are, unless he has more money at his command than he knows what to do with. The great trees of California are comparatively few and it is becoming to be looked upon as a sin to cut one of them down. A tree that has braved the storms of a thousand years is not to be lightly dealt with. Some Railway Statistics. According to the Inter-state Commerce Commission's report there were 704,743 employees listed in the railway service in this country in 1890, while the number in 1900 reached 1,017,653. Another interesting item from this report is that in 1890 the gross earnings were $964,816,129, while the dividends paid amounted to only $82,110,198. In --- $1.

WICHITA, KANSAS, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1902. His Hopes For The Race. PROFESSOR BOOKER T. WASHINGTON ADDRESSES THE OUTLOOK CLUB OF MT. CLAIR, N. J. Prf. Washington addressed the Outlook Club of Montclair N. J., on the "Citizenship of the American Negro" and among the many good things said: "It is proper for us to recognize fact that, whether viewed from a material, intellectual, moral or religious point of view there cannot be found in the civilized or uncivilized world an equal number of persons of American descent who are the equals of those in habiting this country. Whether we are of northern or southern birth, whether we are with or without sympathy for the Negro, the interests of our country demand that we face and perform our duty in regard to the problem which I consider the most difficult and stupendous that is before our country for solution. It should be borne in mind that as a race the Negro did not force himself into this country, but was brought here in face of his most earnest protest. This fact alone gives the Negro a claim upon the sympathy, the good will, the forbearance and generosity of the white man that no other race can have" "It is of the hightest importance that the white race appreciate there are opportunity which is afforded it to lift itself by lifting others. I have sometime thought that one of the objects of the Supreme Ruler in placing what the world calls an unfortunate race in the midst of a seemingly strong and fertunate one, is to give one the opportunity to continually grow in breadth of thought, the spirit of tolerance and generosity of purce, by assisting the other. "It is always easy for a race to yield to the temptation of crushing and withholding opportunities from a weak race — to be deceived by the false doctrine that it lifts itself up in proportion as it keeps others down. The central idea that I wish to impress is that this nation will be strong in its citizenship just in proportion as in its growth, uplifts nearly ten million of black people It will grow weak in proportion as it yields to temptation of neglecting or degrading these people of African descent. "It is desirable and possible for the Negro to grow into the best citizenship. In order that his growth may be fostered and the feeling to- ward him on the part of the white race be changed for the better as rapidly as possible, there are one or two simple but fundamental essentials of growth that we cannot disregard. We must ever keep in mind that our future recognition is largely within our own hands. In all history no race that has been able to continually contribute materially, mentally or spiritually to the welfare of the world has permanently felt without reward encouragement. It is not what we say of good concerning ourselves, or what others may say of evil regarding us in the long run that is going to hinder or help us. It is going to be what we actually accomplish—by our fruits men will judge us. "As a race we must learn not to be deceived or discouraged by the superficial or the temporay. The real question with us as a race is whether each year we are ganing in property, intelligence, high character and in the confidence and respect of our nsighbors, black and white. So long as there is real growth on our part all other minor questions will in due time settle themselves. We must not permit our vision to be obscured, or our ambition to trail in the dust. We must seek those things which are high, we must learn as a race to dwell beyoun race and sectional hatred, and the mere temporary success of to-day or future of to-morrow. Fundamentally and permanently we should not be so much concerned as to whether we ride in a "Jim Crow" car as with the question af to whether one will fine in the inferior car a superior man, not a beast but one who in body, mind and soul, a man. We cannot as a race, make stronger our cause by depending too much upon mere law. "It is the quiet, persistent, eternal unmolestatious effort to pove our worthiness that is going io win. With the Negro it will be as with the white man. He will weaken him self and degrade his soul if he permits race hatred to controle or guide him. Love for all men and hate for none must be the mainspring of our life. Neither praise nor blame will in the least turn me from the course which I have always believe is best for my race and best for the white race at the south among whom we are to live. In the future, even more than in the past, I shall plead and work for education, education of the hand, head and hearts of all the people that inhabits our beloved southland, and for peace and mutual confidence between the races." FACTS AS THEY ARE ; AD QUITE INTERESTING. There are 3,493 colored persons in the United States who are first class type writers. There are 7,496 men in the United States who are first class engineers. There are 1,322 colored persons in the United State who are in the undertaking business. There are now in the United States 430,000 colored persons engaged in the laundry business. There are 5,975 stores in the United States that are owned and managed by the colored people. Colored American. Geo. Dixon, the ex champion light weight pugilist, was knocked out at Baltimore by Eddie Lennie. The savings kank deposits in the United States have increased from $6,973,304 in 1830 to $2,597,094,580 in 1891. The census preliminary report on the manufacture of liquors in the United States in 1900 shows the following results, with percentage of increase: Number of establishment. 2,849; increase, 48 per cent. Capital, $457,674,087; increase,70 per cent. Wage earners, avorage number, 44,417; increase, 23 per cent. Total wages, $28,005,484; increase, 20 per cent.

Fire in the wholesale district of Mobile destroyed property to the value of at least $000,000 and caused the death of Richard H. Widmer a leading society man, and Bat Thomas, a negro laborer from New Orleans. Three firemen were injured two slightly and one painfully. Widmer and Thomas were assisting the firemen and were caught by falling walls. Mr. Carnegie, Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. Morgan are giving their millions not to help individuals directly, but to provide means by which individuals may help themselves. In these practical days the fortune ship that sails across the seas bears golden opportunities to work, instead of golden eagles to keep men from the necessity of work. NO.37 UNITY IT IS THE PRAYER OF ALL We are earnestly hoping for the day when all Nngroes will be like the Scotch people in particular. These often go together in clans, or in large bodies, and the members of each clan are always willing to help each other. The colored people are very seldom willing to help one another. We are just a little too jealous. If you see your neighbor is going the wrong way, either in planting his various crops, caring for his stock or in his moral life, go to him quietly, as friends, and try, ec the spirit which the Christ always exhibited, to show him the better way. The Negro of every community ought to be willing to instruct and help carrs along the weak ones. If your neighbor has serious faults, or if he has told some one of some plans which he mean to follow, don't go on the house tops for the benefit of friends and enemies alike but keep it inside the cace. "Bear ye one another's burdens."—Tuskegee Student. 12th. wife Dublin, Ind., — Phillip Veidelburg of Madison county, undoubtedly holds the record in Indiana for marraiges. He is 58 years old and has been married twelve times. He is the father of thirty-two childrens. Veidelburg says he hope to live long enough to marry his thirteenth wife. He was born in Germany, and came from e family whose ancestors settled in New York during the colonial period. Salt Lake City, Utah Jan. 28. According to the Pocatello, Idaho correspondent of the Desert News, the residents of the little town of Chesterfield, located in an isolated portion of Bonnock county, Idaho, are greatly excited over the appearance in that vicinity of an eight foot, hair covered human monster. He was first seen on Jan. 14th when he appeared among a party. of young people who were skating on the river near John Gooch's ranch, The creature showed fight and flourishing a large club and uttering a series of yell, started to attack the skater, who managed to reach wagons and get away in safety. Measurements of the tracks showed the creature's feet to be twenty-two inches long and seven inches broad, with the imprint of only four toes. THE SEARCHLIGHT. W. N. MILLER, Editor.

Mr. Moody of Massachusetts has introduced a bill in the House to punish the lynching of Negro citizens. The bill constitutes lynching a crime against the laws of the United States and defines it as murder, with the penalty which the United States laws provide for that crime. The bill fixed heavy fine and imprisonment as the punishment to be meted to state and municipal officers who fail to protect offenders against mob violence and fine the county in which lynching occurs $5,000. Colored American. Queen's Arm Over 6,000 Years Old. Exploration has lately revealed relics of Menes, the founder of the Egyptian monarchy, fashioned more than 6,500 years ago. Of Zer, the successor of Menes, it is astonishing to find the forearm of his queen still in its wrappings, with four splendid bracelets intact. This brilliant and exquisitely finished group of jewelry is 2,000 years older than the jewelry of Dahshur, the oldest up to then known. The arm of the queen had been broken off by the first plunderers and had lain hidden in a hole in the wall of the tomb. Farmer Fluds A Friend. Nadeau, Mich., Feb. 3d.—Mr. Nelson De Rosier of this place, a prosperous farmer, sixty-one years of age, has suffered for years with Kidney Trouble. He has tried many medicines, but found nothing to relieve him until he began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills, and he has found this remedy to be a friend indeed. He says: "I thank God that there is one medicine in the world that does help weak and sick humanity. I would earnestly advise every one who has Kidney Trouble to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. They have given great satisfaction in our family." Wherever Dodd's Kidney Pills have been used according to directions, they have not failed to cure all Kidney Troubles, Bright's Disease, Drops, Rheumatism, Lumbago and Backache. Highest Recorded Medical Fea. The highest medical fee ever paid became the property of a blind physician, Dr. Gale, of Bristol, who cured a wealthy patient of a diseased knee by electric treatment, and in return found his banking account richer by £50,000. Garfield Tea cures constipation. A PETRIFIED FOREST Almost everyone has heard of the petrified forest in Arizona, but few know that it is comparatively easy of access to visitors. The distance from the railroad is but seven miles and at the station Adamana, on the Santa Fe, a few miles east of Holbrook, Mr. Albert Stevenson maintains a small inn, accommodating about ten people and provides a spring wagon outfit and several saddle ponies for those who desire to visit the forest. The old pioneer, Adam Hanna, who, in the sense that John Hance made the Grand Canyon, made the Petrified Forest, has moved away. At the forest there are hundreds of sections of tree trunks of various sizes and in variegated colors lying exposed on the plain or half buried in the hillsides. There are several extinct volcanoes in the vicinity of the forest and about two miles from the railway station are the ruins of an old Aztec settlement and curious hieroglyphics carved on rock. Stop-overs are granted at Adamana on through railroad and Pullman tickets where the holders desire to visit the Petrified Forest. As people lose innocence they find experience. Garfield Headache Powders are especially adapted to the needs of nervous women. Try them. A great Popcorn Farmer A. L. Schaeffer, of Edgar county, Illinois, last year harvested the largest crop of popcorn ever gathered in the world. From his 102 acres he had 1,800 bushels, a yield of a little over seventeen bushels to the acre. It cost him $17 an acre to raise, sort, shell and pay ground rent. ‡=†† As WE GET IT, So WE GIVE IT. ††=‡ The Ladies' Art Club met at the cosy residence of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. White, 117 E. Murdock last Tues day afternoon. The ladies had a very enjoyable time, and engaged the evening in fancy Art work. The president, Mrs. Lee Anderson, was not present owing to sickness and the Vice president, Mrs. J. T. Chinneth presided. A dainty and well prepared lunch was served; all agreed that the hostess Mrs. White, had well entertained the Club. The Club will meet next week at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Sam W. Jones 501 N. Water. A small fire took place at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. McDougal, 1429 Sherwood ave., last Sunday in the forenoon; caused by some clothing catching on fire. The alarm was turned in and the colored firemen of No. 3 were the first to respond. They were soon followed by the other companies. The fire was put out by the colored company and the other companios had nothing to do on their arrival. Damage slight. Mrs. Thos. Cox is on sick list. We received a welcomed letter from our friend and former fellow townman, Rev. W. R. Hardy, now pastor of Bethlehem Baptist church. Pueblo, Colo. We learn from its contents that since taking charge of that church the later part of Nov. 1901, he has added 35 new members to his church. The church has also recently purchased two very desirable lots on which they expect to build a new ann modern meeting house, as they find their present building, which has a seating capacity of 900, too small for their constantly increasing congregation. A big rally has been set for the 3rd. Sunday in May at which time they expect to raise $1000.00. All who are acquainted with Rev. Dr. Hardy know that he is a strong church worker and will rest assured that the $1000.00 will be raised. We wish the Doctor much success. Rev. Dr. Plummer never misses an opportunity to bring his visiting ministers and friends up to the Searchlight office. We are always proud to have our Wichitans bring their visiting friends up to our office and permit us to get acquainted with them. Let others follow. Arkansas Valley lodge No. 21, A. F. & A.

Smith, an evangelist of much ability and who is connected with the Southwestern Baptist Association and who is now a resident of Hutchinson, arrived in the city last Tuesday morning and will assist Rev. H. V. Plummer in his revival meetings at the Second Baptist church, which are now in progress. Rev. Smith has a state reputation as a spirited and very able revivalist; and with Rev. Plummer they will have a very interesting series of meetings. Rev. Smith, accompanied by Rev. Plummer, paid our office a welcome visit. Come again gentlemen. The revival services at the New Hope Baptist church closed last Sunday night after a few very successful weeks. Many new additions were made to the church. When you have Letterheads, Envelopes, Dodgers, Books, Pamplets, Calling Cards, Wedding Cards, or any kind of printing to do, remember "The Searchlight Office, 110 N. Main St." Come Up. Mrs. W. W. H. Grant left Wednesday morning for Dover, O. T. to spend a month visiting relatives. Our friend W. W. H. Grant left Wednesday night for his former home New Lebadon, Cooper co., Mo to visit relatives and incidentally to look after a little business. He expects be gone about two months. Mr. Grant is among our most progressive, enterprising and well - to do colored citizens. He will represent the Searchlight while away. The birthday party given at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. L. Scottmyer on N. Wichita st. last Wednesday night was grand. Rev. H. F. Frazier was able to be out Thursday. We were glad to see him out again. Ray Thompson, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. Thompson, 1910 E, 10th St. who was quite severely burned a few weeks ago is suffering quite a bit. The cold snap caused his injuries to take a set back. Fire marshall A. G. Walden is quite sick, suffering from stomach trouble. He is at the Wichita Hospital. We hope the chief will soon be out among his many friends again soon. The people says that Chas. Shoots makes an ideal Foremon of No. 3 hose house. That is alright. Chash has the capabilities. He is all that could be asked for as foreman. Mrs. Emma Simmons was granted a divorce by Judge Dale in the District Court, last Saturday, from Geo. Simmons on the grounds of extreme cruelty and non support; she was also given the care and custody of their child and was restored to her maiden name Emma Garrett. Mrs. Bertha Chinneth was granted a divorce from Dave Chinneth on the grounds of extreme cruelty and failure to support; sbe was given the care and custody of their child; and was restored to hermaiden name Bertha Moore. Both ladies were represented by W. N. Miller. UNGRATEFUL. A Young colored woman went into a dry good store in Washington, D.C, recently, so the associated press says and bought $300 worth of dresses other finery and paid for them with a $1000 bill. After she left the store, the merchant who was glad to get her money informed the police who rushed around and located her and got her story. She told them that a man on Pennsylvania Ave., whom she had never seen before give her the bill and passed on As no one came forward to claim the money and as there was no one to arrest her for theft of course she kept both her finery and $700 change. Some white people, like that unkind merchant, get terrible suspicious if they see Negroes handling more than $10 or $25 at a time.—Ex. Fred Tyner. a full-bfood Shawnee Indian, alleged to have criminal-assulted three Shawnee squaws in Oklahoma, was tied to a stake to be burned to death by members of his tribe, men and wemon. He was first cruelly tortured. His face was beaten out of shape, his ears were torn nearly off by squaws and others horrible tortures were being applied, when Deputy Marshal Davis arrived and saved his life. Parsons, Kansas, Jan. 21st 1902. To whom this may concern: This is to certify that I, Mrs. G. A. McAnderson, (formerly Mrs. G. A. William, wife of the deceased, Elijah Williams) have received from Mr. J. E. Lewis, G. C. of the Sunflower Grand Lodge of Kansas, Jurisdiction N. A., S. A., E., A., A., & A. the sum of One Hundred [$100 00] Dollars for myself and four [4] children in full satisfaction of all and every claim, whatsoever, that we, or either of us may have against said Grand Lodge. Signed in the presence of Friendly Aid No. 7. Mrs. G. A. McAnderson. We regret very much to learn of the death of Mr. Greenfield of Ft. Scott, father of the Greenfield Bros. of this city. We knew him very well and admired him as a substantial business man. As an old resident of Ft. Scott and Bourbon Co. Mr. Greenfield did much to build that city. He was kind hearted, chairtable and friendly to all. He leaves hosts of warms friends. Many of the citizens of Wichita who were former residents of Ft. Scott will readily remember Mr. Greenfield. What can the loyal colored voter expect at the hands of the republican party this fall? Mayor Mc Lean and the city administration is treating them right. Now in case the party wins this fall what will the colored man get? This is a question that the colored man has a right to demand that it is answered, and answered soon. A colored newspaper now has troubles of his own! So, for pity sake spare him from bothering with yours. Mrs. Millie Kelley is on the sick list. Wichita Tabernacle No. 34 met last Thursday eve.

Waterbury, Conn., Feb. 4.—A fire has swept $2,000,000 worth of property in this city, during a rain, a snow and a blizzard, following each other during the progress of the fire. Two deaths were reported early. Special trains brought fire engines from New Haven, Hartford and Naugtuck. The fire started in the upholstering department in the third story of a large dry goods store. The militia was called out to preserve order. Washington, Feb. 6.—Rear Admiral Evans, Capt. Clark and Commander Wainwright had a coference of several hours with the president on the matter of the appeal of Admiral Schley from the findings of the court of inquiry. It is not thought that the president's answer will be ready for some time yet. In the meantime it is believed to be the president's purpose to confer with a number of the more important officers who gave testimony before the court. General Metcalf Conformed. Washington, Feb. 1.—The senate has confirmed the nomination of General W. S. Metcalf to be pension agent at Topeka, Kas., to succeed Cyrus Leland. General Metcalf's appointment has been held up for some weeks, pending an investigation that he shot Filipino prisoners. The pension committee decided that the charge had not been sustained, and recommended that Metcalf be confirmed, which was done.

Washington, Feb. 6.—Governor Taft, of the Philippines in further interviews with the Senate Philippine Committee, said of the Filipinos: "They have worn out the right to any treatment but that which is severe and within the laws of war." Governor Taft also said that the great majority of the people of the island desire peace and that the insurrectionists were by their acts preventing the mass of the people from settling down and earning a quiet living. Instead of being allowed to do this they were kept under a system of terrorism by the insurgents, which should be stopped. "The condition of activity continued until the last presidential election in the United States. The insurgents believed that if Mr. Bryan should be elected there would be a change of policy and the islands surrendered, placing those who were in insurrection in charge but when Mr. McKinley was elected there was a feeling that there would be an indefinite retention of the archipelago and that the system then in force would be continued." Discussing the effect of the guerilla warfare Governor Taft said: "I venture to say that there is not a Filipino general or commanding officer who could not be convicted of responsibility for the killing of their own peo ple." This led him to speak of the traits of the Filipinos, one of which he said is cruelty. He had been told by American officers of many instances of mutilation of the corpses of our soldiers. This being true, it is not surprising that there had been some retaliation on the part of small bands of American soldiers. He had heard of no charge of mutilation but there probably were some cases of unnecessary killing. In this connection he called attention to the orders of General MacArthur as to these practices which were, he said, very strict. If these infractions of propriety had occurred he was sure they had been in the face of direct orders to the contrary. Governor Taft said that notwithstanding he was not in an attitude of favor to military rule, it was still his deliberate judgment that "never had a war been conducted in which more compassion, more restraint and more generosity had been exhibited than in connection with the war in the Philippines." Got $50,000 Worth. Kansas City, Feb. 5.—N. D. Parker, a prominent citizen of Ottawa, Kas., was arrested in that city at the instigation of Postoffice Inspector J. L. Stice, of the Kansas City office, on a charge of using the mails to demand. He will be tried at the April term of the federal court at Topeka. The inspectors claim they will produce evidence to show that Parker secured goods from. 110 mercantile firms in the United States, and that he has failed to pay most of these accounts, while only a small amount of the principal, the inspectors say, has been paid on a few. The aggregate value of the goods obtained by Parker is estimated by the inspectors at $50,000. More Trouble for Brigands London, Feb. 6.—The Sofia correspondent of the Times reports that during the negotiations with the brigands for the release of Miss Stone, the captive missionary, the house in which the American party was lodged was burned down, but that the inmates escaped with the money to be paid as ransom. Simply an American Girl. Washington, Feb. 6. — Whitelaw Reid had invited Miss Alice Roosevelt, eldest daughter of the president, to accompany him to London as his guest when he goes to attend the coronation of King Edward. It is the present expectation of Miss Rosevelt to avail herself of this opportunity to see London. If she does so she will have no status save that of simply a young American girl and will not figure in the coronation ceremonies in any manner. Washington, D.

With a Grizzly Behind Him Man Makes Sprinting Record. "I just came down from Estes Park," said Edgar Wilson this morning, "and while there I saw a man who once outran a greyhound. I heard the details of the experience from the man's own lips, and it was vouched for by a half dozen residents of the park. "The man was Fred Sprague, the most popular ranchman in the park and also the owner of one of the finest ranches. Sprague is a great character. Every one is fond of him and every one has implicit faith in everything he says. His own story about the greyhound is about as follows: "I was out with the dog hunting deer and was beating about some quaking asp bushes when of a sudden the dog began to bristle up and growl. I couldn't see anything at first, but it was not more than a minute before a big grizzly bear, the biggest I have ever seen and I have hunted a few around in these mountains, stepped out of the bushes not more than fifty feet from me. "It was up on the "flat tops," back of the house here. I only had one shell in the gun and that shell was not manufactured for bear, especially for big grizzlies when they are nearly on top of you. I looked around for a tree and there was none handy. About this time the dog made up his mind that he couldn't climb a tree anyway, and decided to light out. "You know the "flat top" is a pretty steep mountain, and the dog took straight down the slope. Well, when I saw that dog start I started, too. I took one look at the bear and he was ambling right along in my direction, and I could see him grin. "The dog had the start of me, and led for the first 200 yards, and then I passed him. For a few seconds afterward I heard the bushes crash and the stones roll behind me and wasn't dead sure whether it was the bear or the dog and didn't slack up to see. I could tell from the noise that I was gaining, and before I got to the camp at the foot of the mountain I couldn't hear a thing coming. It was three minutes afterward when that greyhound got into camp." "There were four men in the camp, and all of them swear that Mr. Sprague did not exaggerate. They say they saw him coming down the mountain and each step he took covered a distance equal to three jumps of the hound."—Denver Post. VARYING FOOD OF THE WORLD Dietary Problems of Great Interest to Farmers. Doubtless many interesting facts and some important ones will be brought out if Professor Atwater of Wesleyan University gets his additional $10,000 a year from Congress to spend in investigating the diaries of the nation's farmers, wage workers, negroes, Chinese, "poor whites" and other people. There is already an annual appropriation of $20,000 for general studies in food and nutrition, says the New York World. Yet when each half in America has become informed as to what the other half eats, the world will be full of problems of the diet. It will still puzzle most of us to note that while the Turkish porter or Japanese rikisha man becomes steel muscled on rice—with dates added in the case of the Turk—the sturdy English workman has increased his meat consumption 21 per cent in twenty years. It cannot be climate that makes the difference. Russia is cold, but it has hardy peasants who live on thin vegetable soup, sauer kraut, rye bread and cil. In parts of Italy chestnuts are a staple food. Vegetarians and the flesh eats dispute endlessly. The plain liver draws a moral from the bon vivant and vice versa. We read of happiness in $100-a-plate banquets and satisfaction in 11-cent dinners. And out of the whole matter the one general truth which looms unchangeably is that the average man eats and thrives on what he likes—if he can get it. The Australian Bunylp There is some talk of a project for organizing a hunt for a specimen of the Australian bunyip, an animal that many believe to exist only in the imagination of nervous natives and of those white residents who are in the habit of carrying colonial rum home with them. There are many, however, who, knowing the Australian bush well, believe that this curious creature may yet be found, and not so far away in the interior either. Lake George, in the coast district of New South Wales, is said by some to be a home of the bunyip, and a search in that quarter may be undertaken. Great Artist's Eccentricity. One of the many eccentricities of James McNeill Whistler, the American artist, is that he conceals the date of his birth, even if he knows it himself. It falls during the month of December, but on just what day is unknown, possibly to himself, certainly to his friends. Mr. Whistler, besides being an artist born, was a born cosmopolitan. This country claims him and educated him at West Point. But he was reborn in Paris, is something more than an Englishman—a cockney; and he has been mistaken on his travels for a native of Russia, where, in fact, he passed part of his early youth.

When a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is—Syrup of Figs—and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle—Syrup of Figs.
