'le maintien." And here, all the Pro-
fessors are agreed, is the most diff
cult portion of the curriculum. Can
one wonder at this when one recalls
the surroundings from which these stu
dents have been drawn? The playgoing
public does not set itself the task of
weighing the difficulty there is in teach
ing them-the children, perhaps, ot
small shopkeepers and artisans-to rep
resent faithfully the movements and
bearing of persons of refinement; the
tones and gestures of men and women
of society, Of courtly mobiles and great
ladies, of Princes and Kings. For in
stance, it is no easy matter for any
one to cross a stage like that of the
Theater Francois without self-con-
seriousness and without being embar-
raised by ones arms and legs. But to
do so with ease, grace and measure is
the result Of infinite study, and OF the
most rigorous teaching. Then they are
taught to understand parts-''com-

ficulty, and one almost as great, if more
intellectual than that of acquiring
physical gracefulness. 1t is only In

young people it is by no means a trifiing
matter to follow the historic and liter
airy illusions in a play, or to under
stand the occasionally obsolete words,
the uncommon, the poetic, and, some
times, the precious" phraseology OF
dramatic literature.

Five Men Charged With Robbery
Set at Libertv

The preliminary examination OF
Frank Murphy, j. L. Murphy, Harry
Scott, Frank Martin, Charles Howard
and James Reynolds, charged with rob-
bling Charles N. Martin of $44 in Lache-
meyers saloon on the north side OF J
street, between Second and Third, was
held before City Justice Anderson yes
terday, and they were discharged.
The prosecuting witness testified that
about a dozen men were in the room
when Martin was robbed; that a couple
of them got behind him, and while one
of them struck him on the head, Frank
Martin, who was standing beside him,
seized his arm. The victims hand was
in his pocket and his purse in his
hand, and Frank Martin jerked his
hand out of his pocket, and when he
got up his money was gone. He COM
planned to the bartender, who laughed
at him. He identified all of the men
accused as having been in the saloon
at the time.
Conrad Alvers, bartender i'll the sa-
loon, identified all of the men arrested
as having been there at the time of the
alleged robbery. He heard no scufile
or loud words in the rear room, and
when Martin told him he had been rob-
bed he laughed at him-did not believe
him.
Officer M. A. Fisher testified that he
talked with the men arrested, and that
they all denied being in the saloon and
drinking at Charles N. Martins ex-
pense.
Frank Martin, the man whom the
prosecuting witness said jerked his
money from his pocket, swore that ne
was not in the saloon when the alleged
robbery took place. but that he was in
Goddard's saloon at Fourth and L
streets, with another man who was In
court. In explaining how he happened
to have SIS in his pocket when ar
rested, Martin said he had been work
ing on ranches down the river
At the conclusion Justice Anderson
entered an order discharging the men,
saying that in his opinion there was
not evidence sufficient to warrant hold
ing them to answer. He did not believe
a jury would convict on the evidence
adduced.

A REASON FOR IT.
There Is Only One Pile Cure That Has
Reached National Popularity
and Reputation.

There are many popular medicines
that are known in every household in
America.
There are blood purifiers, nerve tom
les, headache remedies, dyspepsia cures
and cough cures, which are sold in
every drug store in the Nation and be-
yond
But all of these must divide their
popularity with many rivals, no one
remedy has the field to itself, with tie
single exception of pile cures, for it is
singular fact that there is but one
pile cure that can be considered as
having a national reputation, without
a rival and the referred to is the
Pyramid Pile Cure which for seven
years has steadily worked into the
public favor by reason of its extraordi-
nary merit, until it is known from
Maine to California and from Manitoba
to the CUT.
1t is true there are many pile rene
dies having a small local reputation for
a year or two, but the Pyramid Pile
Cure has rapidly supplanted them all
and really has the field to itself when
anything like national popularity is
considered.
The explanation is simple 1t is be-
cause piles is in no sense an imaginary
trouble that a bread pill or simple
salve or ointment will cure, but an
obstinate, painful and often dangerous
trouble, and a remedy to give satisfac-
ton must possess positive and very
apparent merit. A person suffering
from piles will not experiment for
months with a remedy; it must give
relief and a cure in short order or it
is condemned.
The worse cases OF piles are relieved
on the first application of the Pyramid
and a cure will result in reasonable
time from it's regular use.
Medical men use it in preference to
operations because it is safer, is per-
fectly painless and the. cost to patient
is a mere trifle as all druggists sell the
Pyramid Pile Cure at 80 cts, and as
it is used at night, it cures without
interfering with regular occupation.
If suffering from any form of piles,
bleeding, itching or protruding, trial
Of the Pyramid will cure you and add
another to it's thousands Of friends

I wish, that good old Santa
Would travel like a show,
And to his tent of playthings
For nothing let me go;
And take along my stockings,
To fill In laughing glee
With all the things he fondly
Hangs on the Christmas tree.
I'd see the pasteboard camel
Wink at the kangaroo;
I'd see the china wombat
And quagga chase the gnu;
Serenely wink his eye
To see the monkey capture
The peanut on the fly.
And then I'd see old Santa
With all his books of rhymes;
"a Ana sa kiss m hi ny f fifsy wn Times.
And on his back 60 riding
Beneath the fairy dome,
And with a lot Of playthings
Go running gaily home.
IT'S then he, I think old Santa
And in some other village
Put up his tent next day;
And then go on still further,
And further still and still,
To let all lovely children
Their great big stockings fill.
'Twould then be always Christmas,
All musical with Joy,
And bendlng tree and turkey
And hobby-horse and toy;
For while upon his travels
Old Santa'd scatter cheer;
Each day throughout the year.

There were some remarkable features
apparently in the performance Of a
Japanese theatrical company which ap-
peared in Chicago recently. In one
piece, THE Knight and the Geisha,"
the hero fights ten foes at once, and
throws them about in such reckless
fashion that all the spectators thought
there would be a lot of broken bones.
One man was flung into the air and

company sustained the parts of statues
with extraordinary skill Some Of our
performers are pretty good as statues,
but then they are generally pretending
to be representing something else.
