WHAT'S YOUR TRADE ?
Each Trade or Occupation Has Its
 SDecinl Disease.


 It is we'll known among medical men that certain diseases are more readily developed in certain occupations than in others. That each occupation uas it's attendant physical weakness. E2Gi- neers, railroad men and similar ocGn- pations suffer mostly from kidney troubles, and men who are often GN- posed to the weather suffer from rheu- matism, while clerks and professional men, in fact the army of people whose business keeps them indoors are olten- times great sufferers from piles and constipation. In this connection the following letter is of interest to people whose occupation will not allow suili- cient outdoor exercise.
 MT. A. F. Calhoun, notary public and jeweler and matchmaker of Circleville, w. Va, writes as follows:
 I had been a severe sufferer from piles for years and had tried many rem edes with but little benefit, when about three years ago saw the Pyramid Pile Cure advertised and sent for it.
 was badly afflicted when I got it., but after only two applications the piles disappeared and from that day to this I have never felt a symptom of the disease.
 l feel that cannot recommend them too highly to sufferers from piles.
 The Pyramid Pile Cure is free from cocaine, opium, or any mineral poison, absolutely safe, pleasant and painless; sold by druggists at 50 cents per pack age. If there is any constipation the Pyramid Pills should be used with the pile cure. The pills are 25 cents per package.
 Any druggist will tell you that the Pyramid is the best known and most successful and popular pile cure ever placed on the market, and its reputa- ton as safe and radical cure has only resulted from the personal recommend- ation of people who have been cured or this distressing ailment.
 Send to the Pyramid Co.,, Albion, Mich, for valuable little book on cause and cure of piles.

James J. Corbett is without doubt the strongest and most powerful athlete in the world. His wonderful records, magnificent physique and splendid physical condition render him the proper person to point out to others the best way in which to obtain that mighty strength of muscle, vigor of nerves and perfect physical condition which is the desire of every man and woman, for perfect health is what all want, and good health always comes only from sound physical yigor and vitality.
 What you must have, therefore, to make you strong, to give you life, vim, energy and am. bition, to make you do your work with ease to eat and sleep well and wake mornings fresh and vigorous, is to see first of all if you are in sound health.

ROMANCE OF A VALENTINE.

1t was the fourteenth day Of February
and the lovely Estelle was sitting in
her luxurious boudoir when package
was handed her which she opened and
exclaimed with innocent delight:

Estelle took the ring from its hiding
place and slipped it on her finger, curl
Gus to know if it fitted, then her maiden
modesty suggested that she ought not
to accept and wear gift from an I'M

quickly from her finger and determin-
ed to return it. But now the question
arose: to whom? where?
After reasoning with her conscience

nicely and produced mysterious pre-
sentiment of coming bliss. and sensa-

never known before painted her cheek

Her soliloquy and state of curiosity
were interrupted by friend and COM

widow lady of wealth and an enthus-

There is a surprising amount OF mis-

ing the cost Of carrying passengers on
railroad trains and to this con
dition as public mind is doubtless
due much Of the sentiment in favor
Of lower rates, which is finding eX-

MIR. p. S. Eustis, General passenger
Agent OF the c., B. & @. r. r., In argu.
ment before the house committee Oh

and surprising information about inc
passenger business in the west. His
statements were based upon the re-
ports OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the Railroad and
Warehouse Commission OF MISSOURI
and are therefore be! nd question.
Mr.. Eustis showed III the first place
that the volume of passenger trafnc on
railroads is dependent upon the density
and wealth of population in the terri
tory through which it runs, and then
compared the population OF missouri
and the traffic resulting from 1t with
the same figures in other states, thus
