story of a Tramp Who Found a
Pious Family Easy to Work.

From the Minneapolis Tribune.
zone morning about eight years ago
arrived in a small tomn I'm the Mohawk
valley in company with a tramp called In
dianapolis Red" said an old road agent
TO a Tribune reporter. I'VE had ridden all
night in a box car In the hope of reaching
New York by morning. but the freight had
been delayed on account of wreck, and
we were so hungry when we reached the
town in question that we simply had to
get off and look for something to eat. 1t
was not a place, as we well knew where
tramps were welcome but the train woul :
not stop again at a town of any size until
long after breakfast. and we decided to take
our chances. We had an hour at our dis
posal until the next freight was due. The
great question was, what story should we
tell, and we both rummaged through our
collections TO find good one. Finally, aft
err each of us had suggested number Of
different stories and had refused them In
turn on the ground that they were too old
for such a hostile place. Red suggested
that we try the deaf n dunn gag There
are several gags OF this description, and
asked him which one he meant.
Let's work IL in this way he began
10 improvise. I'm your def N dunn
brother, see? An we're on our way to
New York, where am going TO get a Job,
I'm a clerk and you're seem me down to
the city so's't nothin' III happen to me.
Our moneys given out, an we've simply
got TO ask fer assistance. We're terribly
hungry an you want to know If the lady
of the house will be god enough TO he p
yer brother along. See?"
81 saw right enough and accepted the
proposition, but the odds seemed against
us because the town was one of the most
unfriendly along the line. We picked out
house near the track, AS a rule, such
houses heve been begged out. but we reas-
oned that II our story would go at all IL
would go there. and besides the house was
convenient for catching the next freight
train. As we approached the back door
! was careful to talk TO Red on my in-
gers, thinking somebody might be watch
ing us. A motherly old lady answered our
knock / told Reds story in my best
manner. filling Ii out with convincing de-
tails. She heard me out and then scruti-
nized Red in the way that we all look a
creatures who are peculiar or abnormal
Then she smiled and invited US into the
dining-room, where the rest OF the family
were at breakfast. II turned out TO he q
arree Methodist clergyman's household.
We had places at the table and ate as
rapidly as we could or rather Red did; 1
was continually being interrupted by the
family asking me questions about my un-
fortunate brother.
Was he born that way?' they asked

A RELIABLE PILE CURE,

The Pyramid Pile Cure Is the safest and
surest pile cure on the market, because ii
contains no mineral poisons nor opium.
nor cocaine, but can be used with abso-
lutte safety and certainty Of cure
Many physicians are now using the
Pyramid Pile Cure in place of surgical
operations, being painless, convenient to
use, and the patient can attend to his
daily occupation while the cure is being
made, as II is used at night and no addi-
tionaI treatment Is necessary.
DR.. Wharton says the Pyramid Pile
Cure will prove a blessing to mankind,
when IL is remembered that heretofore a
surgical operation was considered the
only cure with all its danger to life, In
tense pain and an expense OF from ten
to one hundred dollars to say nothing
of the possible return Of the trouble. The
Pyramid Pile Cure costs but fifty cents
at any drug store and does the work
quickly and safely.

sired. The surrounding hills protect the
vessels anchored in this bay from any
winds that blow. aud when one is afioat
upon it's waters the boy has the
appearance of land-locked lake. And the
the best of the Spanish charts gave not
the slightest intimation that such Bay
existed. The Spaniards. 1t is asserted,
were very poor chart-makers. There is
an island in Lingayen Gulf which is down
in the charts of the Spaniards in a po-
sition a mile and a quarter from its right
full place.
Casiguran Bay Examined.
Casguran bay and Gulf were carefully
examined by officers of the Baltimore.
For six days they were working from
the boats and the steam launches and
under the hot. tropical sun. 1t was learn
ed that the West side of the bay showed
a small shoal, and that there is reef.
visible in the daytime at the Cape Te-
lelfonso, or Northern entrance to the
sound. Otherwise there is deep water
everywhere in bay and Gulf
The Baltimore held some little commun-
icaton with the natives on shore while
inside the bay. One day canoe, or raft,
was seen approaching from the land. 1t
came along very slowly because the men
who propelled II stopped every three
strokes of their paddles to wave white
flag When they finally got on board
they begged hard for a garrison to protect
them from the dsprsdations of the alleged
bands of insurgents operating In that vi
cinity. II was explained to them that the
Baltimore was not there to establish gar
risons and the natives went sadly back
to their village.
Another day a launch from the Balti-
more was running down the Southern side
OF Casiguran sound, taking the depth of
the water and studying the shore. 1t had
gotten pretty near the historic town of
Baler when the engines broke down and
boat and crew were at the mercy of the
waves. which broke hard on the rocks to
leeward. Every effort was made to
repair the damage to the machinery and
get under way again before the launch
should be blown up on the rocks, when
the crew noticed a large crowd of half
naked natives, armed with bows and ar
rows and bolos, concentrating on that
part of the shore where the wind was
rapidly driving the helpless craft. The
launch had one one-pounder six rifles and
a Mauser-pistol as armament and as the
savages on shore showed every sign Of
expectant hostility these arms were plac-
ed I'm readiness for action. But, when the
little steamer was within a thousand
yards of the beach her machinery was
repaired and she turned and steamed
gaily away from the disappointed men
on shore,
Insomuch as Luzon will undoubtedly be
most valuable as a naval station and
that good harbors on the island add ma
terially to its value In this respect, the
recent discovery Gnd sounding of Casig-
uran sound and Gulf is of particular in
terest. Our biggest vessels could enter ana
anchor in this bay without the slightest
difficulty.
