FOUR BOXES DID IT.
Remarkable Success of a New Pile
Cure.

People who have suffered for years OF
months from the pain and lnconVenl-
ence of that common disorder, piles, VIII
look with skepticism upon the claims
of the makers of the new discovery for
cure of all fOms of piles, known under
the name of Pyramid Pile Cure; never
theless the extraordinary cures per-
formed by this remedy are such as to
warrant the investigation of any suf-
ferer. AS a case in point the following
letter speaks for itself:
Mr. Henry Thomas of sub-station No.

as follows:

work on that account Nothing did me

and asked for it. The drug clerk told

thought was better, but I told him 1

the cure used two more boxes making
four in all. am now completely cur
ed. Have not a trace of piles and had
suffered for four years with the worst
form of prOtruding piles.
l suffered death from piles. but I have
found the Pyramid Pile Cure to be just
as represented. I have recommended it
to several of my friends and I am
thankful to be able to write you what
good the remedy has done for me-
Physicians recommend the Pyramid
Pile Cure because it contains no opium,
cocaine, or mineral poison of any kind
and because it is so safe and pleasant
to use, being painless and applied at
night The patient is cured in a sur
prisingly short time with no inconven-
fence whatever
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by
druggists at so cents per package, and
if there is any constipation it is we'll to
use the Pyramid Pills at the same time
with the Pile Cure, as constipation is
very often the cause of piles and the
pills effectuaIy remove the costive con-
dition. Price of pills is 25 cents per
package.

LOG CABIN TOMB.
Queer Vault for a New York Judge
Erected by himself.

Wellsboro. April 15-Judge Stephen
F. Wilson died at his home here a few
days ago.
He had been state senator, additional
law judge, congressman and associate
justice of the United States court in
New Mexico.
A few years ago the judge erected a
unique vault in the village cemetery.
1t is in the form of a log cabin, and is
constructed of a Grecian gray stone, OBJ
tanned in Ohio. At the head of the sar-
cophagus stands a marble bust of the
judge. The inscription on the marble
slab covering the receptacle gives the
name and date of birth, with a blank
for the insertion of the date of his
dea tn.

Mr.. Towne said that the people who
voted at the last election for the gold
standard didn't know what they were
voting for and would never vote that
way again. Silver in the silver coun-
tries buys as much as il formerly did
and pays debts the same.
We should convince the real business

and the fight must be kept up what
we need is not more credit, but more
money We must make it an object for
the money to come out Of the banks and
go to work.

The following dialogue between two
Cretans who met in the mountains is a
literal translation from the original
and a typical illustration of their eau
ton:
A.-Good day, nvighbor.
B.-You are right welcome, my good
friend.
A.-Where do you come from?
B.-From up yonder; quite near.
A.-And where might you be going
to?
B.-Oh, only just down there.
A.-Well, and what's the news, dear
friend?
B.-GoOd news, and all that you may
tell me over and above.
A.-Make me present of your name.
B.-You are heartily welcome to it.
but he never breathes it for all that.
a living example of this curious dis
trust and caution, lest by mere acct
dent the common enemy should learn a
secret of significance, is an old man
named Costoro Voludhaki, who, like
several others Cretans whom 1 met,
is hale Centenarian who has passed
through eight revolutions unscathed.
He carries secrecy to such a point that
he never allows even his own friends
and partisans to know where he sleeps
at night. 1t is hardly surprising if, un
der these circumstances, contemporary
Cretans have inherited the unenviable
reputation of their forofathers for I'M
veracity. But no one who approves de-
ception in war and diplomacy in peace
will be justified in casting the first stone
at those whose very lives occasionally
depend, both in war and in peace, upon
their misleading their secular foes. -

SUMNER EXPLORERS.

interesting Undertaking of the Present
Season in Explorations.
1t is worth while to keep track of the
summer explorers who have started out
to see strange sights or do difficult
things. Allusion has already been
made to the preliminary Peary expedi-
ton and to the various parties who hone
to climb Mount st. Elias. Brief refer
ence has already been made to Prof.
Slbley's Princeton expedition to New
Mexico, which deserves further atten-
ton. In the plains of Acoma, about -
miles southwest of Albuquerque, is a
rectangular rock some 700 feet high and
and about 40 acres IN area on its upper
surface. The story about It is that 300
years ago community of Indians lived
on it, cultivated corn lands at its base
and assembled to their homes at night bv
steps. But it is related that one day an
earthquake shock shook down part of
the rock, including the stairs, and left
the tableland above inaccessible. The
villagers who were at work in the valley
were cut of from those on the rock.
The latter presently starved to death.
and what was left of the former went
two miles away and founded. on another
table-rock, a new village. which still
flourshes. 1t is believed that no one has
been able to get to the top of the old
rock since disaster overlook it centuries
ago Prof. Sibley's plan is to throw
line over it by means of tandem kites
and so get up. If he succeeds-and his
plan is thought to be feasible enough-he
may find very interesting antiquities.
At any rate he will be able to find out
whether the story the Indians tell about
the abandoned village is true The
quest excites the Imagination, and if it
succeeds it ought to make some fascinat-
ing reading for the newspapers.-Ha
