PILES! PILEL!IP PILESII!

A sure cure for Blind, Bleeding,
Itching, and liberated Piles, has been
discovered by DIR. William, ian Indian
remedy )called DR.. WILLIAMS INDIAN
OINTMENT. A single box has cured
the worst chronic cases of twenty-five
years standing. No one need suffer
five minutes after applying this Won
derful soothing medicine. Lotions and
instruments do more harm than good
Williams Ointment absorbs the tu-
nors, allays the intense itching, (par-
ticularly at night after getting warm
in bed,) acts as poultice, gives in
stant and painless relief, and is pre-
pared only for Piles, itching of the
private parts, and for nothing else.

Mr.. Dixey's Chestnut.

In small compartment of rough
boards and illuminated by single jet
of gas, . few nights since, sat q 1.-the
and muscular-built young man, who
talked cheerfully. as he decorated his
face with crayon. 10 rotund gentle
man with plastic smile, who sat on
soap-box and told innumerable sto-
ries simultaneously and comfortably.
Mr.. Dixey's valet loaned an occasional
hand as he lowered about. but Mr..
John A. Mackay did not finch from
his position on the soap-box. A broken
chair, sad-looking table, and numer-
ous costumes filled up what small
amount of space remained. After
making black triangle on each cheek
and drawing dyspeptic line on either
side OF his. mouth, Mr.. Dixey rubbed
his hand deftly over his cheeks, and
presented face that strongly resem-
bled that of Robert Laird Collier.
''By the way, Johnny" he said sud-
denly: Il heard a new story. EhP
':Bout'n Irishmanp' asked Mr.. Mack
ay.
Eyes. He was dying"
Il know he was. Where'd you hear
itP got it from a man from San Fran
CISCO"
''Oh, L don't know" muttered Mr..
Dixey. pasting bushy false eyebrows
over his own, and thereby emerging in
to duplicate C. P. Flocton. He kicked
an old hat into the corner and upset
glass. Then he looked stealthily around
at Mr.. Mackay, whose erstwhile JOY
Gus face was shadowed by look OF
gloom. Nothing hurts the pride and
dampens the spirits of a professional
comedian SO much as to learn that q
pet story is old. Perhaps" faltered
MIR. Dixey, as he put on an iron-gray
wig and pair of Eyeglasses, instantly
considerably more Irving
like than Irving himself perhaps it
isn't the same story"
He called his best friend to his bed
side," said Mr.. Mackay, and said:
''Moike, here's $50 to buy rum wild for
the mourners when Pm berried day
after to-morrah.'
Here Mr.. Dixey broke in, and the
story was finished in chorus: ..And
Moike said, Shall Oi buy the rum 60
in to the cimmetery, Dennis, or cum
MIN packr buy 1t on the way there,
Moike; Observation-Disclosures
There was intense silence. Four
long minutes passed. Each had been
saving the story for the other. One of
Mr.. Dixey's false eyebrows fell to the
floor with crash. Then the valet
laughed politely and said: very good,
ha, hap
"Oh, You like 1t, do youP" cried MIR.
Dixey.
''Oh, yes. indeed, sir. 1t used to go
very well when Nat Goodwin told
it from the stage in Boston, eight years
ago."
Then MIR. Dixey climbed wearily up
stairs to the stage, and as he passed
one OF the chorus girls whispered to her
neighbor:
Just look at Mr.. Dixey's wig. It's
growing white since the last act.-PAil-

play to get angry and advertise prices

We trust the publication of prices will
continue through the whole list, as we
have no money to advertise goods not

not deceive any. The people know
that we have never cursed the place as
