Bones.

Bones was born in New York state,
but having migratory tendencies he
did not remain long there. He was
educated either at Yale, Harvard or
Cornell-I do not remember which. I
first met him in 1897, at glee club of
which he and 1 were members. In
weight Bones will not tip the scales at
more than 125 pounds, but in weight
of argument he approaches a ton.
His motto is "Multum in Parvo."
You may question his vernacular at
times but there is no mistaking his
meaning. He is a jolly all-around fel-
low, a lover of nature, fond of horses
and dogs, and the dogs are particularly
fond of Bones. He is methodical in his
habits which contributes largely to his
success, for Bones believes that success
means the accomplishment of anything
he attempts without regard to meth
DDS. This is not to imply that Bones
methods are not honorable provided
you give that word a liberal definition.
It is said that farmer who was once
giving testimony in court regarding
man who was on trial if he regarded
the mans reputation as good when
compared with others, and he replied:
"Well, if you size him up with Judas
Iscariot he'll pan out fair to middling."
This however is not applicable to
Bones, for he is possessed of good
motives and sticks to fiis friends to the
extent of personal sacrifice that is
commendable. Bones believes that
good health and happiness depends
largely in following the code of rules
which he has adopted and which
several of his chums, including my
self follow: Rise at $50; exercise in the
open air by brisk walking, carrying at
least 25 pounds. Breakfast at Z, din
ner at l, supper at 6, spend 2 hours or
so with the authors and poets and re-
tire at 9. Bones has followed these
rules several years and says they are
essential to health and long life, and
who knows better than Bones?

Murphy Meets the Duke.

Murphy and were seated in his den
smoking and chatting one evening
when a knock came at the door and
Murphy was handed telegram. When
he opened it he gave genuine Irish
yell and embraced me.
"I'm in luckp' he shouted, "where is
Queen p" and out he rushed. Presently
he returned with his wife, both radiant.
"Well, you old chump, suppose you
tell me the news instead of jumping
around like top?" growled.
"There" he almost shouted as he
handed me the telegram. "Devil take
me if 1 have been so happy since
Queen said yes"
l looked at the telegram, but all
saw was, 'Sold at your figure" 81 fail
to see the news" said.
ooh, forgot" said Murphy and then
went on to explain that he had owned
tract of land somewhere in the west
and had sold it to an English syndi-
cate for handsome price.
"This means trip TO Paris," he said.
"I promised Queen if the deal came
off we would 60 across the pond and
visit the 'old sod and Paris"
81 congratulate you both," I said
heartily. 81 know you will enjoy the
trip"
"Why not come with us?" said Muir
ply and his wife joined him in urging
me.
81 am very sorry" 1 replied, "but 1
can not get away now. will tell you
what 1 can do though, that is, join you
in London later on"
So it was arranged. They sailed
shortly after and promised to meet
them in London. Six weeks later 1
walked in upon them at the Hotel
Cecil. Murphy, you see, stopped at a
swell hotel.
"Well," 1 said, show goes the sight
seeing?"
"Fine, my boy" said Murphy, "we
are ready to start for Paris tomorrow
unless you wish to stay" I assured
him to the contrary, so on the morrow
we were off to that city to which all
good Americans 60 when they die.
We reached Paris safely and then
Murphy impaired to nae the reason for
his hasty departure from London. We
were seated in the smoking room of
the hotel at the time and as Murphy
gracefully blew rings of smoke to-
wards the ceiling he told me his
troubles.
"Who do you suppose we met in
London ?" he asked.
Haven't the slightest idea," I an
swered.
"The duke" he said slowly.
"The devil" replied. I had gotten
over that period when the thought of
the duke or of Murphy's success where
1 had failed caused me any pain so

reckoned without my host.
"He had better not" said Murphy,
'or the English peerage will be minus

Three days later whom should we
meet but the duke. He was delighted
to see us. Hoped Mrs. Murphy was
we'll and that he would have the pleas
ure of our company at dinner that
evening. [ could see that Murphy was
near the exploding point, but out of
pure devilment 1 accepted the dukes
invitation for the party.
"You jealous old fool" 1 said, "don't
let him see you are jealous; that would
be just what he wished"
"Pll shoot him full of holes yet," he
growled.
"No, you WON'T" I said, 81 have a
plan that is better than that"
1t was now my turn to help Murphy
and [ divulged my plan to which he
agreed. We, that is Murphy, "Queen"
and [, dined with the duke that night
and Murphy was at his best. He was
always witty, but during that dinner
he even surprised me. He invited the
duke to a smoker the following day
which the duke gladly accepted.
When we parted that night from his
dukeship any one would think that we
were all the warmest and best of
friends, but appearances are some
times deceitful. L left Murphy with
my best wishes for the success of our
plan and promised to see him in two
or three days and learn the result, as L
was compelled by business to be ab-
sent from the city for short time.
Three days later 1 returned and was
met by Murphy and L knew immedi-
ately that he had been successful.
"It worked like charm" he said as
he grasped my hand. 81 had him flat

"Good," 1 said, "wasn't it better than

"You bet," he replied.
My plan which Murphy had followed
was simple. He had invited the duke
to his smoker and then introduced the
good old American game of poker
at-which he was an expert By morn
ing the duke was ruined man as he
had the English passion for play and did
not know when to stop. He left Paris
for parts unknown, owing large bills.
Whether Murphy used any of the
tricks with the cards that he learned
while an attache of Casey's Courthouse,
I never knew, nor do we ever mention
the duke. I have returned Murphy
good for evil and we are both happy,

girl and get married. Well, now that
he is safe and cannot cut me out 1 may

Written for The Prison Mirror.
1t was with sensation of pleasure
that 1 first perceived the light shining
in the distant darkness like a star of
hospitality. ALI afternoon L had been
riding under the blazing tropical sun,
and now that darkness had fallen
some two hours past, my horse began
to exhibit signs of fatigue and l felt
incapable of much further exertion.
The highway was still muddy from the
recent rains and the horse splashed
through pools of water and liquid mire
shining like quicksilver under the light
of the moon.
To the right and left were the dark
masses of the thickets while the road
wound in and out of the jungle like a
great yellow ribbon. Occasionally from
the depths of the forest would come
the mournful cry of some bird or the
shrill calling of insects, while countless
fire flies darted hither and thither. ]
might have passed the light unper-
ceived had not been awakened from
the mental abstraction into which I
had fallen by the low deep growing of
thunder on the distant horizon.
Already dark clouds were beginning
to drift across the heavens, obscuring
the moon; and the moaning of the
wind through the tree tops and vivid
flashes of lightning, showed me that 1
must seek shelter from the storm. I
turned toward the twinkling light and
trusted to the instinct of my horse to
find the way unaided across the sod
den moors.
After numerous stumblings and
turnings we at length came into a
sandy driveway which led up to the
house. 1t proceeded through what had
once been we'll kept garden, but was
now overgrown with weeds and left to
desolatioh. Two rows of palm trees
lined the driveway on either side, up
to the very walls of the crumbling
ruin, which judged had been the
stronghold of some noble when Spain
was in the heyday of her glory.
1 alighted, and leading my horse,
advanced up to great wooden doors
that denoted the main entrance to the
building. | first pounded on the mas
sive portal with my hand to attract
attention from within, but seeing this
had no effect took a pistol from the
holster of my saddle and using the butt
end as hammer, succeeded in max
ing enough noise to awaken the in
mate, for he at length came to
the door with slow shuffiing step,
denoting one who was bent with the
weight of years. When he flung open
the edoor was dazzled by the rays of the
lamp in his hand; but after this had
passed away 1 perceived ne was an
old man hoary with age, with silvery
hair and long gay beard and face
indicative of keen intellectual power.
"Senor," said l, pardon me for dis
turbing your repose, but I am over
taken by the storm and crave the shell
ter of your roof as the only one avail
able."
at is nothing, senor," he replied
with graceful gesture. "It is yours
to command, sir; who would dare bar
their doors to one on such a night ?"

my horse, he continued, ''lead the

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

The failure of ointments, salves and
pills to permanently cure piles had
many to believe the only cure to be a
surgical operation.
But surgical operations are dangerous
to life and moreover. are often unsuc-
cessfpl 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 inflam-
ed parts, and containing no opium or
other macrotic.
DIR. Williams, a prominent CRITICAL sur-
geon, says: 1T is the duty of every SIR
geon to avoid an operation if possible to
cure in any other way, and after many
trials with the Pyramid Pile Cure | nm
hesitatingly recommend it in preference
to an operation.
The harmless acids and oils contained
in it cause the blood vessels to contract
to natural condition and the tumors
are absorbed and the cure is made with
out pain. inconvenience or detention from
business.
In bleeding and itching piles the Pyra-
mid is equally valuable
In some cases a single package of the
Pyramid has cured long standing cases;

being in suppository form it is always
ready for use, can be carried in the peck

and does not Interfere with the daily oc-
cupation.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not onl the
safest and surest remedy OF piles, put IS
the best known and most popular from
Maine to California. Every physician
