Mrs. Bonner was so surprised and de-
lighted by the evidence of loving con-
sideration of which the shining silver
creamer eloquently told. 1t told of the
patient work and hopeful waiting of
her little daughter, and when she
learned of the struggle Mary had, the
temptation to sell Mr.. Lester the Ply
mouth Rock eggs that the creamer fund
might speedily increase, she valued her
gift beyond price.
The Bonner family enjoyed a little fes-

FEAR THE PLAGUE.
indian Servants Leave Their Masters

domestic servants in India during the

IN sorry state, and it is more than like
~ that many of them will have to be
soon shut, says the Bombay CORE
sP@ndent. A meeting held BY the serv-
ants of the Bombay club decided in fa-
vor of flight. One old man only stood
up and said: 81 have been all nv life
in the club and | will not leave it now
lie is the only old servant now remain
ing.
At the Yacht club, with the exception
of the barmen, porters, etc. who are
highs there are only two old
servants now remaining. Members Sit

turns of going to the bar to fetch trays
of refreshment. All the Gcanese sery-
ants at Watson's hotel fed in one dav.

waiter there recently. He told me he
was leaving in the evening. and when
asked why, said: II am a poor man, sir,

Goa it is hard to get work, and there is
little food, only curry and rice; but it
is better there than here"
If the present state of panic contin-
ues it seems not improbable that the
'sahibS" will have to leave the town,
not from fear of the epidemic. but from
the utter impossibility of living here
without servants.
The Yacht club,as last resource, has
sent to Agra to enlist Mussulman wait
ers. 1t is thought that the followers of
the prophet, with their sturdy creed
of ''Kismet"-'It is fate"-win be
panic-proof. The result remains to be
seen. 1t is remarkable fact. however,
that the Arab horse-dealers are very
downcast. In Byculla they sit in a
row, yer. client beyond their wont. and
every week one or other of them hands
over his remaining animals to a friend
and leaves, overjoyed to get away to his
own country.
1t is to be hoped that the Agra
Mussulman has a firmer belief in the ir-
revocability of "Kismet- than his Arab
coreligionist.-Wes Gazette.

underskirt to wear with spring cos
tunes and toilets. The skirts are mar
rowly gored and at the back an ex-
tender or drcss-improver is adjusted
that is formed into three graduated
flutes kept in expanding shape by La

come ready made for application.
These eNtenders are fastened to the
skirt by means of buttons and button
holes or tiny buckles and elastic bands.
They are made variously of silk, mo-

YOU CANNOT CURE PILES
BY Internal Remed les.

The only sure way 10 cure every form
OF piles is to use a remedy like the
Pyramid Pile Cure which is applied
directly to the parts affected and lis
wonderful healing effects are apparent
from the first application because the
medicinal properties are rapidly absorb
ed by tissues and sensitive membranes
of the rectum, and the cure is made
speedily and almost before the patient
is aware Of il, every trace OF piles has
left him.
This is one Of the reasons why the
Pyramid Pile Cure has been SO uniform
" successful 1t is applied directly just
where il is needed and where il will do
the most good. Not by the roundabout
way of the stomach nor by the harsh,
bar5arous methods of various surgical
operations and so called systems
Direct application TO the seat Of dis
ease is the only rational way, and this
is fully accomplished by the Pyramid
Pile Cure.
If the voluntary te:tinony OF thous-
ands who have tried this remedy is
worth anything then no suffered has any
excuse for longer delaying in giving ii
a fair trial, knowing that when you do
so the Pyramid Pile Cure VIII have made
one more friend, the best possible adver-
tisement we can have. The chief advant-
ages OF the remedy are: II cures with
out pain, the cure is lasting, it contains
no poison, and lastly, it is the cheapest
and quickest cure yet found. Your drug
gisi can tell you what il has done for
others. Sold by druggists at soc and 81
