Keeps Her Child\ J Ihr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin the Family Laxative for Many Yeare. Mrs. Aupr. Doellefeld of Carlyle, 111., recently wrote to Dr. Caldwell, at Monticello, 111., that she has used Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin in her home for a number of vears. and would not be without it, as with it she has been able to keep her four children in perfect health. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that acts on the bowels in an easy, natural way, and regulates the action of this most important function. Nearly all the sickness to which children are subject is traceable to bowel inaction, and a mild, dependable laxative, such as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin should have a place in every family medicine chest. It is pleasant to the taste and children like it, and take it readily, while it is equally effective for adults. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold in drug1 stores everywhere for fifty cents a bottle.

I "spilled the milk", I spelled "hard ! times" and gave the definition as bad luck, I stubbed my toe on myself and fell down, my foresight stayed 12 months shorter than my hindsights, my headlight failed, and things kept weaving spider's webs and hatching cockatrice's eggs in my path, and over all of this I cut a somersault into the Slough of Despond, and liked to have drowned before I saw the foolshness of not trying to get out, and to be up and doing, or trying to, and to see if I can do better this year as to business; (but you needn't tell me all is pluck) but with all of this, I just won't "cuss," for if I would I would have "cussed" a "nigger", for although Satan persuaded him to do his utmost to make me to.

I extend many thanks and apprecia- 1 tions to the younp pirl friend, who was so preat a help to the writer in Xl ' scbi/iiiK up messe personal notes, some i of which would have slipped by, perhaps, unnoticed. I will leave the . reader to "speculate" as to who my interesting helper Is. Mr. B. G. Gregory, more widely known here as "Judge" Gregory, died s Sunday morning at the home of his niece, Mrs. W. E. Page, in Chester, from heart trouble, and was bured this ( afternoon at the Presbyterian church with Masonic ceremonies, and quite a large crowd attended the sad rites. Mr. Gregory was for quite a long time ' magistrate of this township, and by that won the cognomen "Judge," was clerk a long while for Mr. L. B. Jeter, , Sr., then entered into partnership j with his former empoyer in another store, which he conducted several years, severing his connection then, J and opened up a mercantile business at Carlisle, but later his health failed rapidly, and soon he gave up business, \ and went to Chester, and passed the , short remaining years at his niece's < aome; to whom he was attached with fidelity. He leaves one sister, Mrs. G. W. Harris, (who is also .with her daughter, Mrs. Page), and other rela- 1 Jves here, and friends by the score, 1 30th old people, young people and chiliren. He was never married. 1 There was a Christmas tree, for < iverybody and in large, the school s lere, at the Baptist church?as a central location Christmas night, Monday, . ind it was the little children's heart lelight. There was an elaborate pro- } arram of recitatons and songs, carried >ut without a single mistake, with nuch credit due Miss Mary Gregory, 1 :.he assistant teacher, who did the i training. The church was beautifully ' iecorated, showing an artist's touch, showing fine taste and designing and, lot knowing who read the blue print, * ve will give all of the girls, young ^ ind just a little bit older, credit for t, as an accumulation of the artistic ouch, but take my word for it, it was < iust fine. I believe the best part one < ;an act, the best thing one can do is ? :o make children happy at Christmas. Let them believe in Santa Claus.

' On Tuesday night, Christmas week, die Woodmen of the World had an \ jyster supper he/e, and had quite a i jig time. A few guests were invited. ] [t was truly a stag partty. The supper was just fine, several being picked jut for cooks, but the chief cook J must have cooked oysters "afore," ind the coffee maker was equal to his * future wife?if there is such a person n the world. There was a band of uur iii?Lruiiu:riis, two vionns, a guuar | ind an auto-harp, and the "choppers" i Mere treated to as fine music as we ] ;ver listened to, not to be expert, and < several of the boys couldn't keep still, sut went to dancing; but there were no girls, so they "jerked up" some ( )f the fellows and "made girls" out of Lhem, but I will be honest, they were nighty rough, uncouth, ugly, lumber- ' :ng sort of girls, sure.
