And Then Became His Secretary sad
 Close Friend for Life.
 Lord Rowton, a very thin, pale man with the quietest manner imaginable. is not ones ideal of dashing Irish man but at Che same time he is a de- Hghtful talker, with witty tongue and has a charming manner, says writer. His old nickname, was Monty Corry,i and when a young fellow he was brfm full of fun and frolie. A may be supposed, he was much de- sired guest at country houses, where he invariably proved the life of the party.' It was under these circum- stances that he first attracted the at tention of the late Lord Beaconsfeld. Disfae1i was never happy when one of a house party in the country. His wife used to declare that, feeling bored and not s'in touch" with the rest of the party, he used to sulk and eat too much instead of talkin at dinner. This made him inclined to be bilious, and she would be under the necessity of taking him home to Hughenden to re- cover. One evening, wheH 1n one of these low-spirited moods, he heard shouts and peals of delighted laughter proceeding from room near that in which he was sitting, and on investi- gating found that this state of liyeli- aess-so unlike what he himself was feeIing2-was produced by the singing, dancing and infectious good spirits ot the good-humored young Irishman. Monty Corry" Lord Beaeonsfeld crept into the room and hung on the fringe of the circle of laughing guests, and very soon an unwilling smile was seen to creep around his mouth, tht said smile ending in hearty burst os laughter, which effectually scattered the last ehadow of the weight of de- pression which had been smothering him. Soon after this pleasant intro duction he made Monty Gorry' his secretary, and they worked well to- gether for the remainder of Disraeli's life.

San An.nnin,s ollm te.

Coming from the home Of biting east winds and winter climate, the at mosphere of San Antonio is veritable paradise. The city is located in south western Texas, is about 500 feet above the sea level, and is deliahtfully situ- ated, with range of hills extending completely around the town. The weather is delicious-neyer too cold i'll winter. and, during the summer while it is hot enough in the day time, the evenings are always cool. According to signal service reports taken during Il series Of years. the average number of days in the year during any portion of which the thermometer falls to the freezing point is II. It is rare thins to have frost before November or later th8p April.

There the Scenes from Cler. teal Life" were written and a consid- erable portion of Adam Bede."

WOMEN TAKE BACK SEAT.
Men Will Be Privileged Glass at the
Methodist Church.

Women who attend the service at the
First Methodist Episcopal church to-
morrow evening will be obliged to sit
either in the gallery or in the lecture
room. The auditorium of the church
will be reserved for the men, and this
time the ladies will have to take a
back seat.
will be a mems mass meeting, held I'M
der the auspices of the Brotherhood of
st. Paul, and the seven Methodist
churches of the city will unite in it.
Women are cordially invited as well as
men, but the auditorium will be re-
served for men and the gallery and
lecture room will be opened for the
women.
The service, full printed programme
of which will be furnished will consist
of three or four short, practical adj
dresses, and a large chorus of men will
lead the singing. The purpose of the
service is to awaken new interest in the
work represented by the Brotherhood
of st. Paul. 1t is hoped to effect the
organization of chapters of the brother
hood in all the Methodist churches in
among the churches of the state.
The Brotherhood of ST. Paul is a new
organization in the Methodist church,
formed for the purpose of increasing
the efficiency of the church among the
men of the country. 1t is largely social
in its nature, and the Topeka chapter
meets once a month. A rumor has been
to be started in the church, but the
members of the brotherhood say that
while the general constitution of the
brotherhood provides for insurance, the
Topeka chapter has decided not to take
up that feature, for the present at least.

AMERICAN DISGRACE.
Gen. Wilder Metcalf Talks of Liquor
Selling in Manila.

Gen. Wilder S. Metcalf, late colonel
of the Twentieth Kansas, stands up for
the Kansas idea of the liquor problem,
by inference at least. In a lecture
which he delivered at Kansas City last
night on Manila and the Philippines
he said:
1.-The one disgrace of American occu-
patton of Manila and the Philippines is
the extent to which liquor is now sold
there. Representatives Of beer and
whisky houses entered the town along
with the troops, and had located sa-
looms even before the soldiers were in
quarters. Before the Americans took
possession of the city 1 suppose that a
drunken Spaniard or Chinaman or man
of any other nationality was a rare
sight on the streets. Now one can not
walk two blocks without encountering
drunken Americans"

MUST DO WORN OVER.
Some One Blundered In Serving No
tees on Property Owners.

IF at first you don't succeed try. try
again." is the motto Of the police de-
partment and Chief Ramsey is now
having his try.
A week ago IS notices were prepared
by the city attorney to be served on
persons owning property that is to be
taken into the city. The instructions
received were for the chief or his dep
uty to serve the papers just as they
were and at once. Sergeant Belts was
commissioned to serve them and he
spent two or three days in doing so.
Now it has been discovered that the
papers should have been signed before
they were served and that no one but
the city marshal is authorized to serve
them. Chief Ramsey will now spend
two or three days serving another set
of papers and he will see that they are
signed before he delivers them.

DANGEROUS TO LIFE.
Surgical Operations for Piles Danger
GUS and Unnecessary.

The failure of ointments, sa1ves and
pills to permanently cure piles has led
many to believe the only cure to be a
surgical operation.
But surgical operations are dangerous
to life and moreover, are often unsuc
cessful and at this time are no longer
used by the best physicians nor recon-
mended by them.
The safest and surest way to cure any
case of piles. whether itching, bleeding
or protruding, is to use the Pyramid
Pile Cure, composed of vegetable oils
and acids, healing and soothing to the
inflamed parts, and containing no
opium or other narcotic.
DR.. Williams, a prominent OFFICIAL
surgeon, says: 1T is the duty of every
surgeon to avoid an operation if pos
sible to cure in any other way, and af-
ter many trials with the Pyramid Pile
Cure 1 unhesitatingly recommend it in
preference to an operation.
1.-The harmless acids and oils contained
in it cause the blood vessels to con-
tract to a natural condition and the
tumors are absorbed and the cure is
made without pain, inconvenience or
detention from business.
In bleeding and itching piles the
Pyramid is equally valuable"
In somecases a single package of the
Pyramid has cured long standing cases;
being in suppository form 1t is always
ready for use. can be carried in the
pocket when travelling; it is applied at
night and does not interfere with the
daily occupation.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not only the
safest and surest remedy for piles, but
is the best known and most popular
from Maine to California Every ply
sician and druggist knows it and what
it will do.
The Pyramid Pile Cure can be found
at all drug stores at so cents for full
sized treatment.

piles mailed free by addressing the
