bird shot while driving a group Of
merry but noisy bathers from before
the doors of the legation. Having been
consul to Mozambique and lived to tell
the tale, Judge Riley is willing now to
represent his country at some foreign
post. no matter how distant. and is alb
solutely regardless of the nature of the
climate. The judge has always been
true. loyal, working republican. wheth-
er in office or out of it. His friends all
know il, and they are ready to say SO
to the president. The judge called on
Mr. Mckinley yesterday and had Very
satisfactory chat With him. He did not
confine his remarks to the subject Of
his own political ambitions, but dis
cussed the affairs of the country at
large. and among other things he told
the president that the overwhelming
sentiment of the republicans every
where was for the immediate emascu-
lation of the civil service law.

A Young gentleman whose gallantry
was largely in excess of his pecuniary
means sought to remedy this defect
and save the money required Tor the
purchase of expensive flowers by ar
ranging with a gardener to let him
have bouquet from time to time in
return for his cast-otf clothes.
1t thus happened one day that he
received bunch of the most beauti-
full roses, which he at once sent to
his lady love. In sure anticipation of
a friendly welcome he called at the
house of the lady the same evening,
and was not a little surprised at the
frosty reception he met with.
"You sent me note today the
young lady remarked, after a pause,
in the most frigid tones.
ia note?" he inquired, in blank
establishment.
'Certainly, along with nosegay. 4"
'To be sure, sent you nosegay. "
"And there was a note inside-do
you still mean to deny it?'
With these words she handed the

1t was the custom in New England
and in New York, long before ReVoIu-
tionary days, for bride and groom
and sometimes the entire bridal party,
to appear at church on the Sunday
after the marriage. Says the Chicago
Record, illustrating this fashion Of
coming ont bride"
Gabriel Furman, in his manuscript
"Comnonplace Book" dated 1910,
tells of one bridegroom whom he saw,
who appeared on the first Sunday after
hls marriage attired in white broad
cloth; on the second, in brilliant blue
and gold; on the third, in peachbloom,
with pearl buttons. The brides dress,
wholly obliterated by all this mascu-
line magnihcence, is not even named.
Cotton Mather wrote in l7l3 that he
deemed it wise to have the newly-mar-
ried couple appear publicly with some
dignity. Judge Sewall's daughter and
her husband walked with six other
couples to meeting the Sunday after
her marriage. In Brooklyn, Connecti-
cut, it was the custom for the bride
and bridegroom to sit in the gallery,
and at Il certain point III the service 10

He has been sexton of the church

a widow with grown son. The son
proved bone Of contention, and after
numerous quarrels the wife left her

IMPORTANT TO SUFFERERS.
HOW YOU MAY OBTAIN ALASTING CURE
FOR PILES.

NO Surgical Operation, No Pain, Trihing
Rxpense--A simple Harmless Remedy,
but il Does the Work.
There are some people who have piles as
frequently and regularly as other people-haye
colds.
Any little bowel trouble will bring them
on. any extra exertion as in lifting, will
produce them, and in fact will often appear
without any apparent progocation. Piles,
however. are much more serious than cold,
as the tendency is always to grow worse
until the trouble becomes deep seated and
chronic, or deyolopes into some fatal rectal
disease
While there arc many pile remedies which
give relief, vet there is but one which not
only gives Instant relief but at the same time
makes permanent cure, and that is the well
known Pyramid Pile Cure.
This remedy is composed Of simple harm
less, vegetable ingredients, but combined SO
effectively and act so promptly aud thor
oughly that il cures every form of piles
whether itching, blind bleeding OF protruG-
ing.
Cure has proven to be the only certain cure
except a surgical operation and its adyau-
tages over an operation are many, as it is
painless, causes no delay, or interference
with daily occupation and last but not least,
it H. cheaper thar any surgical operation
could possibly be, costing but dollar a
package at any drug store
The cases that the Pyramid Pile Cure will
not reach are so few that physicians are doing
away with operations for piles aud depending
on this cheap but effective remedy to accom-
plish a complete cure, and it never disap
points except in cases beyond the reach Of
medical skill.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared by the
Pyramid Drug Co., of Albion, Mich, and foi
sale by druggists everywhere at 90 cents pei
package Each package contains treatise
on cause and cure of piles, together with
testimonials from every section of thi'
country.
