the severe weather which prevailed during
the past several weeks, and in consequence
were in really needy circumstances, were

The race between the Carroll Institute
and Saengerbund for first place in the Dis

than ever as result of the series played
by those teams at the Saengerbund last
night The home team improved it's per-
centage by winning in two of the games,
the CAROLS coming out best in only the
opening event. The scores in all of the
games were exceptionally small, results
being obtained that would have been more
creditabe if made by the tail-end teams.
The only individual game in the series
worthy of note was Armstrong; string in
the opening-tS1. All of the games abound
ed with splits, this i'll luck being evenly
shared by both sides.
The German club lost the opening game
in the very first frame, when the CAROLS
took the lead by twenty-three pins, main
tanning and increasing their advantage to
the end of the game. The Institute payers
secured an even hundred pins in their last
frame, the Saengers also finishing well.

DIR. Chase's Ointment is an absolute
cure for piles, and has never been
known to fail to cure the worst forms
of this torturing disease, which has
baffled medical skill for ages.
This statement may sound rather
strong TO persons who do not know the
superior merits of DIR. Chase's Oint-
ment, but it is perfectly true, and en-
dorsed by the grateful testimony of
thousands of men and women who have
been cured by it after years of suffering
and after trying many preparations and
consulting the best doctors in vain.
An honest druggist will always recon-
mend DR.. A. w. Chase's Ointment as
the best remedy for piles. He knows
that the most skillful physicians endorse
il, and knows from what his customers
tell him that it is the only preparation
which is positive and absolute cure for
This horrible disease.
Many remedies afford temporary re.
lief, and arouse false hope, but never
quite cure. Sometimes surgical
operation will cure, but that is the old
way-the cruel, expensive, dangerous
way. DR.. Chase's Ointment cures by
its magical soothing and healing infu-
ence. II is the only certain and guar
anteed cure. so cents a box, at all

Than await another bloom.

Then my lips shall not know the warm kisses
You refuse me while live.

That Death would place in my hands
