it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs

known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to tim3.

A Historic Account Book.
In the year 1S32, when the State of
Illinois was but fourteen years of
ape, there was on the south bank
of Rock River, sixty-five miles above
Its mouth, a frontier post called Dixon's
Ferry. John Dixon, from whom
the ferry derived its name, lived
there, entertaining travelers, operating
the ferry, and trading with those
who journeyed to and from the mining
districts and the Indians. With
\he Indians, writes Mr. Sterens in
his account of the Black Hawk War,
t, he was particularly popular, and became
their counselor and arbitrator,
and likewise their banker.
He was equally well liked by the
whites, and when the time came to
bespeak their affection there was no
uncertainty respecting the judgment.
His influence became so great that
(n the year 1840, when Galena was
the political and commercial power
of the Northwest, he took from that
place to his own town the United
States land-office. 1
When the subject of removal was
first broached, it appeared so ridiculously
impossible that there was
no protest from Galena but laughter;
but John Dixon's tavern was stronger
than the politics and commercial
prestige of the frontier metropolis.
. ' Alone he journeyed to Washington,
anc. upon his request, backed by no
one, the office, which at tbat time was
the most important national office in
\ the State and that which carried the
most political influence, was removed
i to Dixon.
Dixon's venerable personality, his
charming sweetness of disposition,
his. rugged honesty, and possibly his
little account-book, were altogether
too powerful for the antagonists of
those rugged days.
One entry in his accdunt-book
ehK.-acteristic of the times is, "Col.
Z. Taylor. To Mdse, including a shirt
pattern, $6.50," and then follows its'
liquidation: "Settled by note."
The hero of more than one war
and afterward President of the
United States, it appears, settled an
account of six dollars and fifty cents
by giving his note of hand. But the
oote was paid when it was due.
General Winfield Scott also appears
In this account-book, and the settlement
of his accounts was performed
with the precision one would expect
from the-dignified soldier.
Leaving Home.
I would give a few words of encouragement
to any young man who
hesitates about leaving home. There
is nothing in the world so good for a
man, say, between twenty-five and
thirty-five years of age, especially if
unmarried, as a visit to distant countries,
to learn other tongues, to see
new sights, add to experience strange
adventures, such as he may readily
encounter by throwing aside the restrictions
of home life and taking up
work abroad.?Frederic Shelford, in
The Fngineer.

Grover Cleveland was the twentysecond
President of the United States.
He was three times nominated by the
Democratic party for the highest office
within the gift of the people and
twice elected to that office. As the
history of the country is written from
I decade to decade and from century
! to century, he will be rated in history
in comparison with his predeI
cessors and his successors in that
1 high office. His rating will undoubtj
edly be high.
| Grover Cleveland was born March
j 18, 1837, in the village of Caldwell,
N. J., nine miles from Newark, in a
house still standing, the parsonage
of the First Presbyterian Church.
His father, the Rev. Richard F.
Cleveland, a graduate of Yale, was
a Presbyterian minister of high
character, a strong preacher, and fine
scholar, whose forbears were Connecticut
Yankees. His mother was
! Ann Neal, the daughter of an Irish
! bookseller and a German Quakeress,
i The fifth of their nine children was
j christened Stephen Grover, for the
| minister who.had preceded the clergyI
man in the Caldwell pastorate.
J When Grover was four years old
| the family moved to Fayetteville,
i near Syracuse, N. Y., traveling by the
i canal, and afterward to Clinton, N.
I Y. In those places the boy got his
; schooling, and the tradition is that
j he was in no wise remarkable at his
i books.
j In 1S53 the death of his father
obliged him to earn his own living.
With his older brother he came to
New York and found a place as

for the Blind. He studied law and
was admitted to practice at Buffalo
in 1859. In 1870 he was elected
Sheriff of Erie County, N. Y. It was
in 1881 that he was elected to the
office which established his first large
reputation?the mayorship of Buffalo.
In six months he had attracted
such general attention that the Democrats
gave him the nomination for
governor. He was elected by an
enormous majority over his Republican
opponent, Charles J. Folger.
At the Democratic national convention,
July, 1884, he was the leading
candidate on the first ballot, and on
the. second ballot he secured the
nomination. He was renominated
but Harrison defeated him. During
his first term, in 1886, he married
Frances Folsom. In 1892 he ran for
President again and was elected.
After his retirement from public life
Mr. Cleveland lived at Princeton, N.
J.
In 1905 ex-President Cleveland
was appointed by Thomas F. Ryan
one of the three trustees for the maioritv
stock of the Eauitable Life
Assurance Society which he held.
The Cleveland household was often
pictured, perhaps too intimately to
please its master, as a beautiful
American example of domestic content.
The sporting qualities of the
statesman and his love of sport did
much to endear him to the average
American. He was a sincere lover of
nature and a sportsman?angler and
hunter?of the capital sort.

boiler blew up. Just how the accident
occurred is unknown. ".
The body of Engineer Roberts was
found on the track. The body of
Fireman Holman was blown into a
cornfield 300 yards to the rear of the
engine. A strange feature of the accident
was that Holman's overalls,
which he wore at the time of the ac
ciaent, were round nanging in tne
telegraph wires thirty feet above the
track. It is supposed that his body
shot directly through the wires.
Donnelly was blown down the
Stelton Lane road, in what is known
as the cut, near the bridge, a distance
of 250 yards, All of the bodies were
badly mangled. The locomotive
which blew up is the same one that
killed Mr. and Mrs. Isaac P. Dunn,
two well known residents of Stelton,
at the Stelton crossing as they were
returning from services in the Baptist
Church there two years ago.

FOE CLEVELAND,
TWICE PRESIDENT
Washington, d. C.?News of the
death of former President Cleveland
spread sorrow throughout the nation.
Men high in public life who,
through long association, had become
firm friends of his, received the news
almost with tears in their eyes, and
their voices broke when they imparted
the tidings to others. Men
who had fought Cleveland bitterly on
politiclal issues bowed their heads
for a moment and then, straightening
up with an effort, had something in
praise to say of the former President.
Officeholders who had been indebted
to Cleveland for their first starts in
life were moved to silence.
The personal feeling of loss found
Avnrpssinn throughout the COUntrV
also In formal votes by civic bodies,
in the spreading of resolutions upon
the records of courts and in adjournments
in memory of the former President.
News received here tells that in
their various State capitals Governor
Harris, Ohio; Governor Hanly, Indiana;
Governor Willson, Kentucky;
Governor Woodruff, Connecticut;
Governor Glenn, North Carolina, all
had words of praise for Mr. Cleveland,
and ordered flags on public
buildings at half-staff.
President Roosevelt
Orders a National Tribute.
Oyster Bay, N. Y.?President
Roosevelt issued a proclamation directing
that the flags over the White
House and the departmental buildings
be placed at half-mast, in respect
to the memory of Mr. Cleveland. He
also ordered that suitable naval and
military honors be rendered on the
day of the funeral.
Mrs. Cleveland Desires No Publicity
Regarding Final Scenes.
Princeton. J.?With the widow
on the night following the death of
the ex-President were Mr. and Mrs.
Richard Watson Gilder, John Finley,
President of the College of the City
of New York, and Professors John C.
Hibben and Andrew F. West, of
Princeton University.
It was announced from Westland
that Mrs. Cleveland desired that the
details attending her husband's death
be withheld from the public. Although
Mr. Cleveland's death was
not accompanied by contingencies of
dramatic import, the widow is firm in
her resolve to guard jealously those
scenes which she says she believes
are sacred to the home circle.
Friends of Mrs. Cleveland suggested

attached to her husband's demise,
