Men do not like 20 20 10 doctors. Nine

in this. for when a business man feels out

A Yankee Bargain.

The Yankee is a born bargainer. In
earliest youth he begins to swap, - and
in his mature years he often carries his
inborn talent into wider fields But,
even if he stays at home, his shrewd-
ness does not lose its edge, as witness
this story from The Boston Herald,
which proves that the housekeeping
New Englander, in spite Of Shakes
peare, does not "have ever homely
wits"
In the days when Daniel Webster
was in his prime, sharp Nantucket
man had a small case which was to be
tried at Nantucket one week in June,
and he posted to Webster's Office in a
great haste. II was a contest with a
neighbor over matter Of considerable
local interest, and his pride as liti-
CANT was at stake. He told Webster
the particulars, and asked what he
would charge to conduct the case.
why" said Webster, you can't
afford to hire me. | should have to
stay down the whole week, and my fee
would be more than the whole case is
worth. l couldn't go down there for
less than one thousand dollars. !
could try every case on the docket as
we'll as one, and it wouldn't cost any
more, for one case would take my time
for the entire week any way"
"All right, Mr. Webster" " quickly
responded the Nsntucker. Here's
your thousand dollars. You come
down, and I'll tx it so you can try
every case. .
Webster was 20 amused over this
proposition that be kept his word.
He spent the entire week in Nantuck-
ct, and appeared on one side or the
other in every case that came up for
hearing. The sbrewd Nantucker hired
Daniel out to all his friends who were
in litigation, and received in return
about fifteen hundred dollars, so that
he got Webster's services for nothing
and made good profit to boot.

THE LOST CHORD.

Seated one day at the organ.
Twas weary and i'll at ease.
And my fingers wandered idly
Over the noisy keys
do not know what vas playing.
Or what was dreaming then;
But struck one chord Of music.
Like the sound of great Amen!
1t flooded the crimson twiligh;
Like the close of an Angels psalm,
And i, lay on my tevered spirit.
With a touch Of infinite calm.
1t quieted pain and sorrow.
Like love overcoming strife;
1t seemed the harmonious echo
From our discordant life.
I, linked all perplexing meanings
Into one perfect peace.
And uembled away into silence,
As if it were loath to cease.

That one lost chord. divine,
That came from the soul Of the organ.
And entered into mine.

Will speak in that chord again;

shall hear that grand Amen.

l never thought it worth while, said
the old man, perfectly aghast at the
turn matters were taking.
At this stage, Lippe's hired hand
rose to his feet.
May it please the court, l will un-
dertake the case for Mr.. LipPe, said
he.
"a pretty case you'll make Of IT, -
said the old man. You can plow
corn a wonderful sight better"
81 assure you, Mr. Lippe, that Mr..
COverdale is perfectly competent to
the task, said the Judge, who was
well acquainted with the young law
yer, and who though ignorant of his
present relations, fancied he smelt a
Joke in the actions of the parties.
"Mebbe your honor is right, said
Mr.. Lippe, "but plague take me, 1t
you don't find him likely sight bet
ter farm hand than lawyer.
A general litter ran around the
bar.
The suit proceeded. The young at
torney having previously mastered the
whole ground, entered into its merits
with such force and clearness as as
tonished even the court. But how
shall we paint the surprise Of old Mr.
Lippe? 1t took him by storm. At
every word of the young lawyer he
seemed to distend with astonlshment,
until hi. amazement was something so
ridiculously appalling as to conyuIse
the entire audience with laughter.
Peal after peal resourded, and even
the fat sides of the Judge, forgetting
their gravity, seemed ready to shake
to pieces with merriment.
"Who-who-who are YOU at
last gasped the old man.
"Sit down, Mr.. Lippe, said Mr.
Coverdale.
a am attending to the case
Then stopping, he whispered in his
ear.
Il am trying to earn Susan.
"She, yours, shouted the old man,
regardless Of the bystanders or the
court, which having now an inkling
of the matter, gave loose rein tc
their jubilant feelings How Susan
felt, however, can be better imagined
than described. She blushed like one
Of her mothers peonies, and hastily
hid her face in her veil.
When the merriment had subsided
and old Mr.. Lippe had secured hl'
equanimity, the happy attorney pro
ceeded, and finally made so clear a
case for his involuntary client, as
caused the Judge to dismiss the suit
The old man left the COURT in triumph
and with his hired hand proceeded
forthwith to the clerk office, where a
license was procured. Thejudge gave
the court a short recess and united the
happy pair in the bond of matrimony
Since that event Mr.. Lippe has
changed his views on educational mat
ters.
The other day, as Judge Coverdal(
was leaving home for Congress, he
said
"Lippe Coverdale, get your lessons
well, and who knows but what you
will go to Congress, too.
"Who knows" exclaimed the hap
py Susan.

CANCER IS DEADLY!

This fearful disease often first appears
as a mere scratch, a pimple, or lump in
the breast, too small to attract any
notice, until, in many cases, the deadly
disease is fully developed.

A Story With a Moral.

He is young and ambitious, aud he
prides himself on his common sense,
his practical, business-like way of do
ing things and his sordid earnestness
generally. On his way home the other
evening he stopped to look in florists
window and the florist asked him IN
side to see some very fine wedding
flowers he was sending out. The for
ist is all elderly man, with kind eyes
blinking behind spectacles. "You
don't buy flowers any more, do your"
he inquired, as he tied up bunch of
white lilacs and Lawson pinks, and
laid it on fan of feathery green ferns.
NO, l don't, said the business-like
man.
"You were a pretty good customer
year or two ago. Violets every day
and roses twice week, wasn't it ?"
Err was engaged then, and the
practical one laughed and flushed.
"You used to take her flowers every
time you went to see her, didn't your"
and the old florists tone was more
kindly than inquisitive.
Yes"
They're not so very expensive in
the spring"
ooh, she would have liked them as
well bought on the streets, as long as
they were fresh and fragrant She
didn't care for the swell box. She
wasn't that kind at all.
TOO bad, TOO bad Young ladies
are tickle. suppose she chose an
other in your stead.
ooh, no married her year ago.
The old florist twisted bit OF string
around the stems of some pale rose
buds and then he said gently, as If
'treading on thin ice you don't love
her any more p
Indeed | DO. We're very happy,
But you know the flower business
doesn't go any more.
Did she ever say so2' asked the
relentless old man.
"Well-um-er, no, | can't say she
did.
"Dld you ever ask her about it ?"
mo. I'm kept pretty busy, you
know, with more practical things. |

hes.
The old florist didn't answer. He
dived into the ice-box and came ont
with a handful Of mignonette and
white tulips. He wrapped them in a
cornucopla OF tissue paper ana hahded
them to his late customer. This IL
for old times sake" he said. "You
might take them to your wife, and If
she doesn't like them you can bring
them back to me

CURES WITHOUT PAIN.
One of the Best Textures of the New
Pile Cure.

The Pyramid Pile Cure cures all forms
OF piles without one particle Of pain. Thi.
desirable point is not obtained By the use
OF injurious Oplstes which simply deaden
and paralyze the nerves OF the parts anC
make matters worse in the long run. Bnt
il is done solely by it's remarkable heal
ing and soothing effects.
And while st thus gives immediate relief
at the same time the disease IS not merely
checked, but radical cure is accom-
plished
And the point We want TO make clear is.
that all this is done without a particle OF
pain.
This fact Is one great reason for the
popularity Of the Pyramid Pile Cure and
constitutes one very great difference be-
tween il and almost any other treatment
for piles.
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 Pile Cure, neither I'm making
successful cures without pain nor In
cheapness and safety.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been before
the public so long, and its merits recOg-
nized by too many people 20 allow II 10 be
classed with the many sayes, sUppOsltO-
ries, pills. etc. and you run no risk in
trying IT. as II 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 Company. of Marshall
Mich. ana sold by druggists at 80 cents
