American readers have had con-
siderable amusement in reading the
alleged comments of Spanish papers
upon this country and her people,
some of which have been published
in this paper. But suppose we can
didly lcok at the other side. Sup
pose some of our yellow journals,
those that are whining and kicking
at the administration, are taken over
to Spain and translated? What
would the Spaniards think? Sup
pose Spanish papers reproduce
articles showing that Dewey cut the
Manila cable to prevent home in
reference; suppose they translate
articles about the strategy board;
about congressional action; about
general insubordination in army and
navy; about Wall street owning the
President and debating the war to
force more u. S. bonds; about the
same fellows trying to avoid war
because they W Cuba nor Spanish
bonds; about martial law at Key
West; and many other ridiculous
things, known here to be either pure
sensation or for political purposes.
Guess its about "a boss apiece"
These things would appear just as
singular to Spanish people as their
own comments appear to us. Ii we
give credence to what some of their
newspapers say, why should they
not do the same with us2

Must be the Attraction Himself.
Marshal Co. Journal

No woman who marries an old
soldier after July 1st will be en-.
titled to a pension If he dies. The
old soldier with a comfortable pen
sion has furnished inducement for
many a designing widow to wed, as
his death does not stop the PEN
sion. But it will be changed after
that date and the veteran who gets
married then will have the satlsfac-
tion Of knowing that he furnished
all the attraction himself.

ton Tran Crypt. an inventor who had de-
vised a ~ sleeping car took his plans
to Mr G4lman The latter, after look-
ing over Them, said: ''There is an idea
there. [ will give you $lG0. coo casn

poor me- n, and ne would not accept the
terms He said that if the idea was
worth $500, coo to Pullman il was
worth ,nillions to him. Tho CIR was

it is be tsved that even to this day the
inventor does not know where the

Fire at Laredo.

Laredo, Tex, Feb. l0.-A fire
started here at midnight last night
the origin of which is yet unknown,
consuming almost an entire block
of business koases adjacent to Mar
ket Plaza.
Owing to heavy rain after the
commencement of the fire and the
noble work of the fire department
the flames were kept from Spreading
to adjacent buildings.
1t is yet impossible to estimate the
soss of property, bat it will reach
many thousands OF dollars. No
casualties or lives lost.

A GREAT PROBLEM.
The Missing Link BetWeea Inorganic and
Organic Rife.

The Missing Link Betweea Inorganic and
Organic Rife.
One great life problem remains which
the doctrine CT evolution does not touch.
The origin Of species. genera, orders
and classes of beings through endless
demonstrations is in a sense explained,
but what of the first term OF this long
series? Whence came that primOrdial
organism whose transmitted descendants
make up the existing faunas and fiOras
OF the globe?
There was a time, soon after the doc
trine of evolution gained a hearing
when the answer TO, that question seem
ed TO some scientists Of authority to
have been given by experiment Reour-
ring TO q former belief and repeating
same earlier experiments. the director
Of the museum Of natural history at
ROuen, M T. a Pouchet, reached the
conclusion that organic beings are spon-
taneously generated aboEt US constantly
in the familiar processes Of PatTefac-
ton. which were known to be due TO
the agency Of microscopic bacteria But
L
seeming spontaneous generation is IL
reality due to the existence Of germs in
the air Notwithstanding the conclu-
siveness Of these eXpei -nents, the claims
of Pouchet were revived Ia England
ten years later by Professor Bastian,
but then the experiments OF Jsohn 1'yn-
dali, fully corroborating the results Of
Pasteur, gave a final quietus to the claim
of Spontaneous generation" as hitherto
formulated.
There for tie moment the matter
rests But the end is not yet. Fauna
and flora are here. and, thaBks to La
marcll and Wallace and Darwin, their
developments. through the operation OF
those secondary causes which we
call laws Of nature. has been proHnal-
II explained The lowest forms Of life
have been linked with tire highest IL
unbroken chains Of descent. Meantime,
through Il efforts Of chemists and
biologists. the gap between the inorganic
end the organic worlds. which ouoe
seemed almost infinite, has been con-
stantly mar 70 we'd. Already philosophy
can throw :. bridge across that gap. But
inductive scit nee, which builds Its own
bridges, has lot set SPAWNED the chasm.
small though it appear. Until il shall
have done so the bridge. Of organic eyo-
luton is ne e quite complete, yet even
as it stands oday It IS the most stupen-
dous scientific structure Of our century.

SURGICAL OPERATIONS
ron TIT CURE oF PILES AND
RECTAL DISEASES No
LONGER NECESSARY.
A Medical Discovery Whisfs VIII
Change the Treatment of All
Such Diseases.

It has long been thought not only
! By some physicians but by people IN
general, that the common, painful
and exceedingly annoying trouble,
piles, was practically incurable by
any other means than a surgical
operation and this belief has been
the cause of years of needless suffer
ing, because of the natural dread of
surgical operations.
There are many salves, ointments
and similar remedies on the market
which afford some relief in cases of
piles, but the Pyramid Pile Cure is
the only preparation so far intr oduc-
ed that can be reliably depe.fded
npon to cure to stay cured, every
form of itching, bleeding or pro-
truding piles.
Mrs. N. C. ITinkley of COL Missis-
sippi ST., Indianapolis, was told by
her physicians that nothing but
surgical operation costing between
seven and eight hundred dollars,
could cure her as she had suffered
for 10 years; yet even in such
case as hers the Pyramid Pile cure
accomplished u complete cure. She
says: 81 knew an operation would
be death to me and tried the Pyra-
mid with very little hope and it is
not to be wondered at that am so
enthusiastic in its praise"
Mr.. D. f. Reed of South Lyons,
Mich, says: 1 would not take $500
and be placed back where I was be-
fore 1 used the Pyramid Pile Cure,
1 suffered for years and it is now
eighteen months SINCE used it and
not the slightest trace OF the trouble
has returned.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by
nearly all druggists at 80 cents and
81 per package and as it contains no
opium, cocaine or other poisonous
drugs can be used with perfect safe
ty.
No one need suffer from piles in
any form who will give this excel
lent remedy a trial. Send for book
