A Drunkard's Change.

The following "news item,' pub
lished by the New York Sun. is by
itself a pretty good temperance lecture.
We copy it verbatim
A carriage containing four we'll
dressed men in four stages Of intoxi-
cation stopped in Union street, near
Seventh avenue, Brooklyn, at about
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. On
the curb stood wheelman bargaining
with a peddler for fruit He bought
ten cents worth Of bananas, and
offered in payment two-dollar bill,
which the pcddlcr could not change.
The whcelman asked the men in the
carriage if they could change it. The
least responsible one Of the four at
once drew handful of paper money
from his pocket, handed two one
hundred dollar bills to the wheelman,
stuffed the two-dollar bill into his
pocket with the rest of his money,
and called to the driver to go ahead.
In moment the carriage was rolling
down the street. The wheelman stood
gazing in frozen wonder at the two
hundred dollars in his hand. Then
he fumbled the bills as if to restore
his mind to working order, jumped on
his wheel, and spun after the carriage.
He caught it at the corner Of Sixth
avenue, returned the two hundred dol
lars with some difficulty, as the party
of four seemed slow to comprehend
the situateon, and got back his two
dollars. The only loser in the trans
actions was the peddler. In his agi-
tation, the wheelman forgot all about
the bananas.

Lessons of Life.

The fruit OF success does not grow
on. the tree Of idleness.
1t is not wise to neglect present
opportunities in the hope of meeting
greater ones.
The man who has resisted tempta-
tion is safer than one who has yet to
meet the tempter.
Listen to the advice Of the man who
has failed and follow that of him who
has succeeded
There is but little that man may
not accomplish, but do not seek that
which is unattainable.
No man ever climbed ladder at a
bound Each round represents step
in the progress of achievement.
Battles are won only by fighting,
and the more earnest the fight with
might and mind. fully engaged, the
greater will be the victory.
The farmer never lived who could
reap crop without sowing seed, and
the crop he rcaps shows the kind of
seed he used and how he sewed it.
An imitator may read measure OF
success, but it will only serve to show
how much greater he might have be-
come had he been original.
The simplest thoughts reach and
touch the hearts of men. From the

Responsibility of Wealth.

The late George NJ. Pullman in his
will cuts off two of his sons with an
annuity Of $4,000 each. In explana-
tion Mr.. Pullman says that he was in
duced to do this because he had been
forced to the conclusion that these
two sons were incapable of handling
property wisely. He had observed
that they would rot attend to busi-
ness, and their long-kept habits had
convinced him that large amount Of
money in their hands would bea curse
rather than a blessing to them.
Mr.. Pullman had often warned his
wayward sons that they Lad forfeited
his confidence and could win it back
only by mending their ways. They
appear to have gone on from bad to
worse and now suffer not only the loss
Of their proportionate share Of an i'm
nense estate, but the humiliation of
being advertised as trifing and un-
worthy sons.
Mr.. Pullman is not to be censured
for his treatment of these sons. lie
believed that to give them million
dollars each would only confer upon
them the power to ruin themselves
even more completely and to do harm
to others.
Mr.. Pullman made his start in life
bv hard work. He knew the value Of
money and used money wisely for his
own interests and for the benefit of
others. He could not, therefore, fail
to feel contempt for men, even
though they were his own sons, who
saw in money nothing but the means
Of gratifying their low appetites and
vulgar tastes.
IT is clearly indicated in Mr.. Pull
man IS will that he had patiently en-
deavored to bring his scapegrace sons
to more proper views of life and more
decent conduct. Failing in this ear
nest and affeetionate effort, he declin-
ed to hasten their complete ruin by
giving them an abundance Of money.
What right-minded man can blame
him
We have had in this country many
illustrations Of the dangers which
wealthy parentage throws about youth.
Too often the sons OF rich man make
the fatal mistake Of believing that he
"has the world in a sling He con-
siders himself better than most other
young men,. not because he is their
superior morally or intellectually, but
because he lives in style, has plenty
of money and the prospect of a for
tune.
These are about the most worthless
and most contemplate creatures who
pass for men.
1t must be the gall Of bitterness to
a man of strong character and noble
impulses, who, after hard fight, has
whipped the world and accumulated a
fortune, to see his sons who could
start life with every advantage. de-
generate into utterly worthless dudes.
Many a self-rnade man has doubtless
regretted bitterly that he had amassed
money when he realizes that it has
been the cause Of the ruin Of his sons.
Henry Ward Beecher said that one
of the surest ways to make worth
less and wretched man was to supply
him in his youth with all the money
he asked for, to let him grow up to
believe that money was made only to
spend, and that the best way to spend
it is in the purchase of whatever he
wants and the qualification OF his
every whim and passion.-Atlanta
Journal.

And all other forms OF this common
and often dangerous disease readily
cured without pain or Inconvenience.
Thousands OF men and women ere af-
flicted with some sort OF piles, without
either knowing the exact nature OF the
trouble, or knowing II, are careless
enough to allow 1t to run without taxi
ing the simple means offered for aradl-
cal cure.
The failure OF salves and ointments
to permanently cure piles has led many
to believe the only cure to be surgical
operation.
Surgical operations are dangerous to
life. and moreover not often entirely
successful, and at this time are no
longer used by the best physicians lor
recommended by them.
The safest and surest way to cure
any case Of piles. whether blind. bleed
ing or protruding, is to use the Pyramid
Pile Cure, composed Of healing vegeta-
BILE oils, and absolutely free from min,
eraI poisons and opiates. The following
letter from Pittsburgh gentleman,
severe sufferer from bleeding piles,
gives some idea of the prompt, effect
ual character of this pile cure, He
writesi
1 take pleasure in writing these few
lines to let you know that did not
sleep for three months except for
short time each night, because OF n bad
case of bleeding plies was down in
bed, and the doctors did me no good.
A good brother told me OF the Pyramid
Pile Cure, and bought from my drug
gist three fifty cent boxes. They cured
me, and / will soon be able to go to my
work again.
