Bill Arlp'S Letter.
Bill Tells About the Days and Months. How
They Got Their Names.

Philippines or the English war with
the Beers or the tariff on Porto Rico
or whether Mckinley is tippler or
is Dewey joking about the Presidency
or who is Governor of Kentucky.
There are over 200 different kinds of
religions in this country. There are
seventeen kinds of MethOdists, thir-
teen of Baptis,es, twelve of Presbyteri-
ans, six of Roman Catholics, six of
Adventists, four of Quakers, ten of
~. Lnonites, seven of Lutherans, two of
Episcopalian besides Dunkards, Uni
versalists, Norm Drs, Spiritualists and
mary others too tedious to mention.
All of these profess to be Christian
churches and declare they can prove
Their faith by, the bible.
But still the world rolls on and the
years with it. The seasons come and
go just as they have for ages. There
is no variation in the works of God.
Sometimes L wish that like Him
could be poised away up in the heav-
ems and look down upon the world
and see it turning over and rolling
onward in its orbit. | would want
eyes that would sCrutinize everything
upon 1t. Battles and blood and earn
age and the dead and dying and the
mourners and the spires of the
churches and hear the Sabbath bells
and the preachers sermons and see
happy children going to school and
the farmers blowing in the fields and
the cattle upon thousand hills and
the never ceasing rush of people in
the streets of the great cities and the
gold piled up in the bankers vaults
and the poor and wretched in the
slums and the thousands of convicts
in the prisons and the fires and fun
erals and banquets and the ships at
sea and here and there wreck and
all on board engulfed. Yes, L would
wish to see it all just once-life and
death, happiness and misery, saints
and sinners in one vast kaleidoscope.
Then i would like to climb higher
still and see the universe and listen
to the music of the spheres and soar
among the stars and ride upon the
planets and-well no, l don't believe
/ would. On the whole / would rath-
err STAY at home and work in the gar
den and eat my own asparagus for
dinner and take an evening nap and
anon hear familiar voice: William,
the flour is out and so is the sugar"
/ am glad / can't see all the misery
and am content with my humble lot.

GEORGE II. HEPWORTH.
NO PAIN, THRILLING EXPENSE.
A Simple, Harmless Remedy for the Cure
of Piles.

of Piles.
A person contracts cold, pneumonia
rheumatism and pleurisy from exposure
dyspepsia and liver troubles from dietary
errors and the causes of most diseases are
easily traceable, but although piles and
rectal troubles are as common as any of
these, the cause is obscure.
Violent exertion, as in lifting, some
times produces them and a sedentary oc-
cupation is by some supposed to be-
predisposing cause, but as a rule piles
and rectal troubles appear without APP
parent prOvocatiOn.
There are many pile salves and ONT
ments which give temporary relief and
when these fail, the patient if he can
afford the expense and is willing to take
the risk, has resource to a surgical opera
ton But there is one remedy which
gives immediate relief and the regular
use of which will bring about a perma-
nent cure and that is the we'll known
Pyramid Pile Cure.
In long standing cases the Pyramid has
proven to be the only cure except dan
gerous and exceedingly painful surgical
operation, and it's advantages over any
kind of operation are many, as it is pain
less, causes no interference with daily
occupation, and being in the form of
suppostory is always convenient and
ready for use.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is an effective
combination of soothing oils and anti
septic acids. 1t contains no cocaine nor
nerve destroying opiates and unlike most
pile salves contains no bi-chloride of
mercury nor any poisonous, injudious
drug of any kind.
All druggists sell the Pyramid Pile
Cure at 50icents for a complete treatment
of the suppOsitCries.
A little book on cause and cure of piles
will be mailed free by addressing Pyramid

CORNISH UNDER FIRE
Given Searching Cross-Exami-

Admits Several Discrepancies in EN-
dence and Becomes Irritated.
Apparent Attempt to Connect Him Still Closer
With Adams Murder.
u =

Il. Molineux for the murder of Mrs.
Katharine j. Adams opened with
Harry 5. Cornish again on the stand.
The cross-eXamnation OF Cornish by
Attorney Weeks was abe feature of the
day. MolineuX, improved in condition
as a result of the adjournment on ac-
count of the New Years holiday,
watched the witness With greater in
tcrrst than he has manifested hereto
fore during the trial.
Mr.. Weeks asked Cornish about the
hour of his return home Rom the
knickerbockcr a. G. on the night Of
Dec. -, 1898. Cornish acknowledged
that he was mistaken in previous tcs-
timony as 10 the hour. The witness
was compelled to run a gauntlet of
questions regarding his relations with
the various members Of the household
of Mrs. Adams. Cornish testified thai
he could not remember who first told
him that Mrs. Rogers. the daughter Of
Mrs. Adams, had separated from her
husband. He said that he went to
Chicago, in 1895. and that his wife OBJ
tanned divorce from him i'll March,
1897
Under a severe crosS-cXlmination. he
admitted that he knew a Mrs. Small
that she had died in 1894. that her real
name was Mrs. Patterson, that he had
sent the woman to Il hospital before
she died and that he had paid the eX-
pcnses incurred in connection with her
burial. Cornish. apparently irritated
by the searching questions asked by
Mr.. Weeks. retorted: You ought to
know all about that. The physicians
told Il al hc1lt that
Mr.. Weeks asked Cornish if he had
gone 10 Chicago to lind out about what
the detectives had done Cornish
acknowledged that he had. Cornish
was closely question concerning his
visit to the Office of Mr.. Yocum. whom
Cornish styled his "bcs. friend" II"
