Telling of narrow escape from
death which he had recently ex-
pcricnced, u railroad switchman said:
81 was leaning up against the end of
that blue box car over there, thinking
Of what was going to have for dinner,
when | thought | saw silver dollar
lying in the street about ten feet away
from me.
~ knew there was n shfter on the
same track, but l thought 1t was down
on the wharf ut that time. l hadn't
more than stepped away from the end
Of that car when the shifter hunted
into 1t and drove 1t ahead about 20
feet. Say, suppose hadn't seen that
silver dollar and started for 1t. Where
would have been now? Yes, n man
that Is working around the cars has
got to pay strict attention to business.
ooh, l forgot to tell you that that
silver dollar was only round piece of
tin, but 1t served its purpose just ms
well as the real thing could have done.

A WOman's Within.

She was woman who made prac-
tice Of being always amiable to the
clerks in the shops, and there was one
dry goods shop where she had traded
for many years, and the clerks were
like old friends. But there were some
business changes, and n new firm made
offers to the clerks who had been so
long with the old firm that the woman
had patronized. and they, almost to n
man and woman, left. The lifelong
patron Of the shop was much incensed
mt this. 1t was not fair or right, she
said, and In fact almost dishonorablc.
So one day when she made n first
visit to the new shop one OF the old
clerks who knew her well stepped for
ward to speak to her after the old cor
dial fashion. But, no, this mildest
hammered OF women turned her head
away with cold stare and passed on
without recognition. She could not be
cordial to any one who had acted SO
dishonorably. No explanation Is Of
fered Of why she herself was in the
new shop. 1t may have been just out
of curiosity. or course one can shop
where one pleases. York Times.

Any Time You wnnt at the Pole.

Any Time You Wnnt nt the Pole
Those who are colversant with the
use of globes know that all the merid-
ians Of longitude starting from the
equator converge toward and meet at
the pole They know. too. that longi-
tude signifies time. and that difference
Of longitude is difference in time. They
know very well that when 1t Is noon In
London ii Is about I o'clock In the
morning In Boston. and that when 1t Is
noon I'm San Francisco 1t Is about q
quarter past , in the afternoon In New
York.
Now, MS the meridian Of London ex-
tends to the north pole, 1t necessarily
ensues that when 1t Is noon In the Eng
llsh capital 1t must also be noon Mt the
north pole. In n similar manner when
1t is noon mt Boston, or In San Francis
co, or mt Peiing, or any other place
situated In the northern hemisphere,
1t follows that 1t must also be noon ut
the pole, because all the meridians Of
those places unite MT the north pole.
Therefore 1t is noon all day long ut the
pole.
Thus there Is an entire absence OF
time ut the pole. But It would be just
as correct to say that 1t Is place
where there il n preponderance of
fine, for 1t Is practically any time Of
day during the whole "a hours, or in
deed through the year. In fact resi-
dent at the north pole could make It
any time Of day he might choose to Sc
lcct, with the consciousness that 1t
would be the right time.-Youth's Com
panion.

THINK THIS OVER.
A Rational Remedy for a National
Trouble.

Trouble.
To say that hemerrhoids or the disease
commonly known as piles is a National
is quite certain that at least one In every
four persons is so afflicted.
Because 1t is so common and not imme-
diately fatal many suffer for years With
cut giving the trouble any medical alton
ton.
Moreover. the rather general impression
that a surgical operation Is the only cure,
has much 10 do with delaying attention
until the disease becomes deep seated and
chronic.
Sufferers from piles should know that
the Pyramid Pile Cure is better than q
surgical operation, it cures without pain,
II causes no detention from business and
the cost is trihing, all druggists selling IL
at 80 cents per package,
The astrngent effects Of the acids in the
Pyramid Pile Cure speedily contracts and
restore to their normal condition the blood
vessels OF the affected parts, and as II
quickly dissolves in the rectum, the RENE
dy soothes and heals the irrltated sur
faces, and these two things are the only
necessary requirements for a cure.
The principal danger from piles is the
liabilities to chronic liberation OF the
rectal tissue, and nervous exhaustion
from less OF sleep and attendant pain and
irritation. All these symptoms the Pyra-
mid quickly relieves, and the fact that Il
is the most pular and widely sold of any
pile cure Is quite conclusive evidence oil
thorough merit. II you suffer from bleed
ing Itching or pretruding piles, try TO-
cent package tonight. Ask your druggist
for Pyramid Pile Cure.
