Alfred Colin, NJ. f., a graduate Of

Naval Engineers, and once professor
at the United States Naval Academy,
was recently appointed by the French

Not long ago a Pittsburg life insur-
ance agent persuaded a Chinaman to
take out a policy of $4,000. One day
the Chinaman fell down cellarway
and was badly hurt. His friends tried
TO attend to him without calling in a
doctor. When they did call one in
two days later the doctor was angry.
"Why didn't you call me sooner?' he
asked. This man is half dead now.
Next day the injured mans brother
was at the insurance Office with a
claim for $4,000. You're not entitled
to anything on this" said the insur-
ance agent, until the man is dead.
"Doctol say him half died." answered
the brother. Why he no glet lat
half?"
Lord Chief Justice Russell has in
PRODUCED a bill in Parliament to put a
stop 10 the giving or receiving of Sc
erot commissions. The agitation against
this bad business began some four
years ago, when a large furniture
firm discovered that one of its buyers
was in the pay of the dealers from
which ii bought. To obtain evidence
they had to resort TO the questionable
device of putting a confidential clerk
in the buyers position, who obtained
promise from most Of the dealers to
pay him a definite percentage on all
that he bought. Then action was
brought against one house to represent
the difference covered by the commits
sion, and the case was won. The 9TH
er houses yielded without going into
court.

Should Admiral Dewey contract the

Should Admiral Dewey contract the
habit of saying things ii is quite proba-
BILE that the yellow journals will depose
him. Such things have happened before
and may again. On second thought, IL
looks as though the star chamber coun-
Gil of the yellow journals may possibly
have selected Admiral Dewey for their
lext victim. Now that these vampires
have got the Spanish war off their hands,
the Filipino situation organized into
good news producing condition, ex-
Secretary of War Alger successfully
deposed, General Otis, with his head on
the block, what is to prevent them from
sacrificing Admiral Dewey next: There
are splendid advertising resources In the
Admiral He is great man. Just now
all eyes are turned toward him. lie is
the idol of the American people. In fact
he is the most toothsome morsel for these
yellow beasts that the country, at pres
emit, affords. It is said that Admiral
Dewey is cautious man, but that makes
no difference. 1t is said that Admiral
Dewey will be very guarded in what he
says TO the newspaper correspondents
but that is exactly the course that the
yellow publications would have him pur-
sue. 1t serves their purpose well. They
can manufacture much more satisfactory
interviews than Dewey would, or could,
civ 4 lnfar-
views were masterpieces in their way.
The more profound Ayers silence the
more scandalous, treacherous and sensa-
tional were his confidential utterances
TO the yellow papers. The more evident
Ayers devotion to his duties, the more
tiepdish became the attack of the yellow
monsters. Nearly every official of any
considerable Importance, who was con-
nected with the Spanish-American war
has suffered ut the hands of these yellow
fends. Dewey alone has been left
unmolested, but now that he is ripe for
advertising, what is to prevent him from
being carved into sensational headlines?
Admiral Dewey may or lay not have
made that statement about the next war
being with Germany, but whether he
did or not, he seems to have learned
from the fate of his predecessors at the
yellow journal guillotine, that it would
be useless for him either to affirm or
deny it, Should he affirm it, he would
be playing into the hands Of the yellow
conspirators; should he deny it, there is
no doubt that a volley of disastrous yell
low interviews would follow.
In the face of the unprecedented facts
of recent history, the wonder is, not
that such things are, but that they are
allowed TO flourish. But there is, how
ever q grain of comfort in the fact that

pie TO Toledo. The next excursion will
be given Sunday, August 18th, and will

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

The Pyramid Pile Cure cures all
forms of piles without one particle
of pain. This desirable point is not OBJ
tained by the use of injurious opiates
which simply deaden and paralyze the
nerves OF the parts and make matters
worse in the long run. But it is done
solely by it's remarkable healing and
soothing effects.
And while it thus gives immediate
relief at the same time the disease is
not merely checked, but a radical cure
Is rapidly accomplished.
And the point we want TO make clear
is that all this is done without a par
ticle OF pain.
This fact is one great reason for the
popularity of the Pyramid Pile Cure
and constitutes one very great differ
ence between it and almost any other
KIND or treatment for piles.
Every kind Of surgical operation for
piles is excruciatingly painful besides
endangering the life of the patient and
IN most cases is not to be compared
with the Pyramid Cure, neither in
making successful cures without pain
nor In cheapness and safety.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been be-
fore the public so long, and it's merits
recognized by too many people TO allow
II to be classed with the many salves,
suppositories, 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. Pre-
pared by the Pyramid Drug CO.. Of
Marshall, Mich. and sold by druggists
at 30 cents per package.
