heart of the otherwise frozen darkey, and
he was preparing to wcnd his way home

game.
A furious blast stirred the leatiess
branches of the trees in the Capitol

SPORTS a WATCH.
Another of these blind bcggars wears
a watch. The fact is significant in itself.
1t is true the watch is sadly blackened
and battered. but it is nevertheless an in
Sirument that can't be seen with the eyes
closed. But there are really some very
worthy members in this beggar horde. and
TO them assistance should be freely given.
A pitiable instance is seen in the young
white man who sits occasionally before

putated and his position is one of utter
hclpleSsness. 1t is not a human being

keeps everyone beyond hearing distance.
There are several who lay in a stock
of cheap 1ead-pencils. shoe strings, col

the profits Of these to squeeze out Il pit

These receive 2 more generous patronage,
for il is seen that they at least make this
slight effort to help themselves and do
not depend entirely upon the Gratutous
offerings of the public for support.

AN ELEGANT RECEPTION

bratc IL Happy Anniversary.

The local paper at New Castle, Va,
gives the following account Of an elegant
reception held by Mr. and Mrs. Thornton

ruary, in honor of the seventeenth ami
versary of their marriage which occurred
in Fincastle, Va, in 1883.
AS feature OF the evening, hand

Mrs, each one marked, and a lucky num-
ber-l1-drawlnS a prize. This was very
pretty, and was secured by Mr.. Charles

Ulster linen paper by Miss Maud Sweet

Mrs Malouey. Comic Valentines We're
also drawn-nolens volens--trom grab
bag, and while these were in no sense
offered as appropriate Sells for any OF
the handsome cultured guests present,
they We're a laughable and enjoyable part
OF the evening.
One OF the amusing features was a
contest for prize for the best delivered
quotation from Mother Goose's nursery
rhymes. Shakespeare or Browning
would have graced the occasion with
more dignity, but never with more
thorough enjoyment; and the yweet and
ladies entered the contest and in solemn
seriousness recalled the rhymes so well
known to every child in Christendom
was very gratifying to all present. The
judges of the contest were Miss Daisy
Sixeas, NIessrs. o. w. Fans and Marcy
Mcclure. The prize. a pretty volume
of 'Idyls of the King" was awarded
to Miss Florence Frees. who for courage,
dignity and unsmiling seriousness. ex-
celled all others when she told them that

All the lower floor was cleared of heavy
furniture and by a convenient arrange
nent of doors being thrown into one
room. made the music and ratter OF light
feet very percepuble, yet not disturbing
to those who did not partake Of the ex-
ercise, but preferred sitting quietly
around a table of social games.

PHYSICIANS DECEIVED.
Skeptical at First Regarding the Value
of the New Pile Cure.

Many physicians, for long time, sup
posel that the remarkable relief afforded
by the Pyramid Pile Cure was because
they supposed it to contain cocaine,
opium, or in fact any poisonous, injurious
drug whatever. 1t was found to contain
only healing antiseptics and soothing
oils.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure
Is the only pile cure extensively used and
recommended by physicians because II
is so safe, so prompt IN the relief afford
ed from a single application. and SO far
as known the only positive cure for piles,
except a surgical operation.
About one person in every four suffers
from some form OF piles The most COM
mon and annoying is itching piles. irdi-
Gated by warmth, slight moisture and
intense uncomfortable itching in the af-
fected parts This form Of the disease,
as well as protrudins. blind and bleed
ing piles, readily yields to the curative
action of the Pyramid.
The usual treatment has been some
simple salve or ointment. which some
times gives temporary relief, but nothing
like a permanent cure could be expected
from such superficial remedies.
The Pyramid Pile Cure gives quicker re-
lief than any OF these, and the relief and
cure are permanent.
The pyramid IS In suppository form.
and the first application gives instant Re
lief from the pain, Itching and soreness.
and the continued use for short time
removes the tllmors and the small para
sites which cause the itching and dis
comfort
The remedy is applied at night is very
convenient and causes no detention from
daily occupation.
The Pyramid has become the best
known safest and most extensively sold
