They Were Forming Opinions.

The club was full. Evening papers
were ut premium. An atroclous crime
had been that day committed, and ev
cry member was reading the accoun,
Of the tragedy and eagerly discussing
the details.
A foot had been found In the East
river. n leg In the Hudson and the trunk
Of body In the park. Loud were the
expressions OF horror and disgust Sud
denly a lull came over the crowd, and
two small voices were heard above the
modified din discussing the law OF hui
man nature which made people lean
toward curiosity even in Its morbid
tendency. The small voices grew louder
and the argument stronger, until AT
last a man In tones of undlsguised pity
turned to the disputants and said:
$50 you think we are filed with NOR
bid curiosltyT
One OF the small voices replied that
1t looked very much as IL TINT was the
case.
Nothing Of the kind" expostulated
the former speaker. "YOu mistake our
motive. We are merely dsqualifying
ourselves for Jury duty"
The men with the small voices imme-
diately seized the only two newspapers
and devoured them with avidlty.-New

There are only two directions in
which the muESle Of gun can fely be
pointed; these are up or down. A shot
fired In air can scarcely injure any
one or anything and one discharg.
cd into the ground is equally harm
less Therefore, In all the different
positions which the gun assumes, see
that 1t is pointed either up or down.
Sometimes man will be seen who
carries his gun reversed, holding It by
the muzzle while the fore end rests
on the shoulder and the stock projects
behind. Happily. this practice IL not
common, for It IL extremely dangerous,
and many men have been killed by
carrying their guns In this way. II a
man stumbles or steps In hole or
catches his foot on q root and falls, his
gun will very likely be thrown for
ward with the muzzle directly toward
his body and may easily enough DO dis
charged.
Sometimes one may see boy or
even man who will carry the gun
across the back Of the neck with one
arm over the stock and the other over
the barrels, sometimes with the hand
resting on the muzzle. This il certain
to give very uncomfortable feeling
to any one who happens to be walking
by the side OF the person carrying his
gun In this fashion and opposite the
muzzle end. While the danger OF a
discharge is perhaps not great, 1t is I'M
pleasant to be walking along with a
gun pointed at your neck or head

In the course of its progress through

Of a patent. says IL. V. Smalley In The

and In case he Ii granted patent an
additional fee of $40 IL required. At
torneys charge from $50 up. according
to the work demanded by the cases.

10000 yearly It will be seen that there
Is a good deal of money to be divided

Eating Railway Iron.

Iron for the blood has evidently been
prescribed for the quails of Florida; at
least, these birds are eating steel rails
on the tracks OF the sugar belt near
Runnymede. The report, which IL well
authenticated, does not charge the
quails with actually swallowing the
rails, but 1t does say that they pick
away their particles wherever they find
a rusty spot where they are loosened.
From several points In the state
comes the report Of holes found in steel
rails. and In cases they are large
enough TO seriously weaken the ma
terial. Where n rusty spot starts and
Is picked out, 1t naturally holds mols-
ture, continues TO rust. TO be again
picked out, and 80 the work OF destruc-
ton goes on.
Railway engineers really believe that
the qualls take the iron tonic because
they are not well and find that II re-
lieves their distress.

The prospect for the opening of new

providing for the disposition of lands

anche and Apache Indians. has had the
effect Of Increasing the correspondence
OF the commissioner OF the general land

ask for information upon this subject.
in January 2,S27 letters were received,
IN February 4.2S9. IN March 5O14 and
thus far during the present month this
mail has numbered 3,74f.
In view OF the fact that the lands
to be offered for settlement included
only about 1900 quarter sections or
an equal number Of homes, it is fore
seen that there win be a tremendous
rivalry.
Many persons IN the vicinity Of the

l. Do the manufacturers in other
states pay our taxes to build our pub

alton Of property?
2. Are the citizens OF Oklahoma

ONE OF THE BEST FEATURES
OF the Pyramid Pile Cure


is the tact that It cures every form
Of Piles without one particle OF pain.
This desirable point is not obtained
by the use Of injurious opiates which
simply deaden and paralyze the
nerves OF the parts and make matters
worse in the long run. But it is done
solely by it's remarkably healing and
soothing effects. And while it thus
gives immediate relief, at the same
time the disease is not merely check
ed, but a radical cure is rapidly ac-
complished And the point we want
to make clear is that all this is done
without a particle OF pain.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been
before the public too long and its
merits recognized by too many people
to allow it to be classed with the
many salves, suppositories, pills, etc,
and you run no risk in trying it, as is
often the case with new and untried
preparations II you are ever troubled
with any form Of piles or rectal disease
do not forget the Pyramid Pile Cure.
Prepared by Pyramid Drug Co, Mar
shall. Mich, and sold by all druggists
