Richmond, Va, March 11.-John Prochet-
II, eleven years old, and Bernard Hutche-
son, eight years old, were arraigned in the

seven burglaries in one week The older
boy corrected the policeman in the minor

doings
The broke into a store from the rear on
Sunday night and robbed the money draw
er, getting 100 pennies, all the cash left in
the till. They then broke two large panes
in the rear window of shoe store. but
could not gain admittance because of iron
bars across the window. They broke into
another store the next night, stealing eat
ables and trying to get at the money draw
er. Large panes of glass were broken in
each case. They next broke into a gun
smiths shop and stole some pistols. MANY
other stores were robbed of money, but the
proprietors would not prosecute
Bernard Hutcheson, though much the
smaller and younger of the two boys plan
ned the robberies. which were made with
such skill that the police thought it the
work of professional burglars Two days
ago he entered the postoffce and by insert
ing his hand through small hole in the
railing around the counter stole two five
dollar bills from a pile of notes. One he
gave to another boy, and spent the other
for candy, fruit, cigars and bottle OF
whisky.
Both boys were sent to the State Refor-
matory, against the protests of weeping

CURES WITHOUT PAIN.
One of the Best Features of the Ne
Pile Cure

one OF the Hest Features of the New
Pile Cure.
The Pyramid Pile Cure cures all ferns
OF piles without one particle of pain
This desirable point is not obtained by
the use OF injurious opiates which simply
deaden and paralyze the nerves of the
parts and make matters worse in the lone
run. But 1t is done solely by its remark
able healing and soothing effects.
And while 1t thus gives immediate re-
lief, at the same time the disease is no:
merely checked, but radical cure is rap
idly accomplished
And the point we want to make clear
is that all this is done without particle
of pain.
This fact is one great reason for the
constitutes one very great difference be-
tween 1t and almost any other kind OF
treatment for piles. rI
Every kind of surgical operation for
piles is excruciatingly painful besides en-
dangering the life of the patient and in
most cases Is not to be compared with the
Pyramid Cure, neither in making success
ful cures without pain nor in cheapness
and safety. q
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been before
the public SO long, and Its merits recog-
nized by too many people to allow it to
be classed with the many salves, supposi-
tories. pills, etc, and you run no risk
in trying it, as is often the case with
untried preparations.
II you are ever troubled with any form
OF piles or rectal disease do not forget
the Pyramid Pile Cure. Prepared by the
Pyramid Drug Co., OF Marshall, Mich, and
sold by druggists at 90 cents per package.

He was last seen by his family between

Before leaving he brought his best clothes

He also tied up his dog. His mother-in-
