SMALL SlckNESSES.
Do Not Neglect Them; They Oien Grow
Into Larger Ones.

Piles are painful, persistent. hard TO
cure, but they can be cured. There is
just one remedy that will do it, 1t is
recent discovery, but it has been on
the market long enough to have the en-
dorsement of leading physicians and
the recommendation of thousands Of
cured patients.
Pyramid Pile Cure acts quickly and
directly. 1t cures the cause of the
trouble. Cures it so that the effect is
permanent.
"A great many salves and ointments
Will give relief for a few minutes.
That is not what is wanted. Pyramid
Pile Cure will cure any sort of piles:
blind. itching or bleeding. 1t will cure
the lightest, or the most aggravated
case. The first application will do
more good than dozen boxes of any
of the many of the sO-called cures now
sold. Read these letters. They are
from people who have tried it,
Mr.. j. w. Rollins. a gentleman liv-
ing at Sweet Springs. Mo. writes
briefly and to the point regarding his
experience with Piles. he says: | CON
slider the Pyramid Pile Cure without
an equal 1t cuTtu HE III lASS lnan
thirty days. I waited fifteen days or
more to be sure the remedy had fully
cured me before writing YOU. | can
now say am cured and ! shall recon-
mend the Pyramid Pile Cure at every
possible opportunity because it de-
serves it.
Miss Easter Nunley. Of Tracy City,
Tenn. writes: The Pyramid Pile Cure
has done my sister more good than
anything she has ever taken. | have
nothing but words of warm common
dation for it.
From j. ID. Roberts, Mt. Moriah. Mo-
| have used the Pyramid Pile Cure and
results have been entirely satisfactory.
There can be no question but that it is
certain and lasting cure for piles, at
least it has 50 proven in my case

Barbers on the ocean.

One of the most important persons on
board a we'll equipped ocean liner is the
barber. If he is gifted with a good bust
ness instinct, he is in a position to make
a good deal Of money.
10 the average man shaving while at
sea is a difficult and hazardous opera
tion. He therefore calls into requisition
the services of the ships barber, a man
who by long training is qualified to
WELD the razor with skill and safety,
no matter how much the vessel rolls or
pitches.
He is always one Of the most heavily
tipped officials on the ship. If the
ship travels on a route with interesting
ports of call, the ships barber makes it
his business to lay in a stock of native
~knickknacks and curios of all kinds.
The inexperienced traveller is natu-
rally a little suspicious Of the native
%peddlers who swarm on board with their
wares directly the ship is at anchor. He
prefers to purchase his mementos of
foreign travel of the barber, who, hav-
ing bought his stock at wholesale rates,
is able to retail the various articles to
passengers at prices little if at all high
or than those charged by the native
MISUNDERSTANDING.

Golds1nith's Actor.

Lord Nugent was one evening very
eloquent to Goldsmith in praise of M.
Ia bad actor. "But, my lord" said
Goldsmith, ''you must allow he treads
the stage very ill-he waddles." "Wad-
dles?' said Lord Nugent. Eyes, he wad-
dies like a goose. Why, you know we
call him Goose M" "Well, and then,
you know, when he endeavors to ex-
press strong passion he bellows. "Bel-
lows?" said Lord Nugent. ITO be sure
he does-bellows like a bull. Why, we
call him Bull M" "Well. then" con.
tinued Goldsmith, pursuing his tri-
umph, "his voice breaks and he
croaks." "Croaks?" said Lord Nugent.
"Why, the fellow croaks like a frog.
We call him Frog M. But NJ. is a good
actor"
"Why yes" said Goldsmith, "bar-
ring the goose, and the bull, and the
frog, and a few other things I could
mention, and not wishing to speak i'll
of my neighbors, I will allow M. is a
good actor. ''-"Memoirs Of the Earl Of

intermezzo of ''Cavalleria Rusticana. !"
They played it much more slowly than
I remember ever t o have heard it be-
fore. The head waiter tidgeted and
gnawed his lip. There was misery in
his eye. At last he disappeared in the
direction of the musicians, and a mo.
ment later the intermezzo began to gal
lop along, presto, prestissimo, and at
the end of it the orchestra struck up a
two step. The head waiter came back
relieved.
I'VE can't have slow music here,
madam, !" be said to me when I asked
him about it. "We'd never get through,
and I wants to get off early. People eats
too slow when they plays slow music"
And when I looked around saw that
knives, forks and spoons were moving
to the tempoof the twostep. Everybody
was hurrying. The head waiter knew
what he was about. w Post.
