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 oe the parts and make matters
worse in the long run. But II is done
solely by its remarkable healing and
soothing effects.
And while it thus gives immediate
relief. at the same time the disease is
not merely checked, but 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 OF treatment for piles.
Every kind of surgical operation for
piles is excruclatingly 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-
AOiC thc puDllC 81 iOiS' anu ito ihSi iIa
recognized by too many people to allow
1t to be classed with the many salves,
suppostories. pills, etc, and you run
no risk in trying it, as is often the
case with untried preparations.
If 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 so cents per package.

was thrown on the matter when two
men. supposedly Polanders, We're caught
in the act of wheeling away a brass
roll seat weighing about four hundred
and fifty pounds. The thieves werc
alert enough to escape.
The piece which they were about to
take was thrown in the lower end OF
the yard and TO bring it to a place Of
safety it was necessary to wheel it
over many railroad tracks. and I'm this
they encountered no small amount Of
trouble, owing to the enormous weight
of the piece.
An employe of the mill was journey
ing to his work whilethey We're engaged
in securing the piece and upon their
seeing him they dropped the brass and
barrow. The barrow was taken in
charge by Mr.. Okell and a thorough
| search for the thieves will be made.

Economical. but Not StInrx

Through his letters now owned by
the government one may see here and
there correspondence which shows
that he was very hard up at times. In
1885 he wrote that he could get no
wheat on credit, and that he had nc
cash to pay for it. Three years later he
urges man to pay the $1,000 which he
owes him, and says he has put off the
sheriff three times already, and that he
needs this money to pay his taxes. He
was not afraid to dun his debtors. and
he is said to have been one of the
shrewdest dealers, among the planters
of his time. He was always preaching
economy to his servants, but on the
whole was somewhat lenient, as, for
instance. he employed one man. a car
penter, making a contract with him for
year and providing therein he was to
have four days in which he might get
drunk about Christmas Washington
was economical, but not stingy. He
could not endure waste of any kind and
he went about over his estate doing his
best to stop the leaks. In one of his
letters home he urges that the greatest
economy be used in feeding the hay at
the mansion house.

NEW HIDE-AND-SE SEEK.
WESTERN GAME FOR BOYS AND
PONIES.
Hard Runs and High Jumps-The In
terest That Horses Took In the Sport
Riders Often Left in Creeks or
Hanging from Boughs.

One of the games boys played on
horseback in California in my day
was hide-and-seek. 1t was exciting
sport, says the New York Commercial
Advertiser. AS l recall incidents of
the game they seem to me now to have
been dangerous, but that is a mature
view, which never occurred to us then.
Our favorite place for the fun was on
the edge of a neglected park, with a
creek running through it, and another
crossed field nearby. Both OF these
were hard jumps, especially for some
of the ponies. But there were several
good jumps, five or six over three or
four board fences, two over hedges,
and fallen trees were innumerable
The great advantage of this place,
however, was perfectly straight road
along the side of the park. We meas
ured off distance of about 800 yards
down the road from the nearest bunch
OF woods. For this distance there was
no obstacle except on one side, a fence
too huge to take. 1t was the home
stretch to the line We drew with our
spurs across the road, and many were
the hot races down it.
For the game was to pick boy to
be lit" Usually the fastest horse de-
cided that point The boy who rode
him had to count 100 or 200 to give the
others time to scatter off into the
woods, across the creeks and down any
Of the many side roads, paths, trails
out of sight. Since everything was
clear off east of the me mark, all the
riders went off to the west before they
left the main, straight road. After
that they could ride any distance in
any direction.
But they did not go far, for the pur-
pose of each boy was to get back
either detected to the home mark, or
