 CURE FOR PILES.
No Surgical Operation, No Pain, Trif- ling Expense-A Simple, Harmless
 Remedy, But It Does the Work.

hemeoy, 6ut it DoeS tne Work.
 There are some people who have piles as regularly and frequently as other peo- pie have colds. Any little bowel trouble will bring them on, any extra exertion, as in lifting, will produce them, and the fact will often appear without any apparent provocation. Piles. however. Is much more serious than a cold, as the tendency is always to grow worse, until the trouble becomes deep-seated or chronic or devel- opes into some fatal rectal disease.
 While there are many pile remedies which give relief. yet there is but ono which not only gives instant relief, but at the same time makes a permanent cure, and that is the well-known Pyra- mid Pile Cure.
 This remedy is composed of simple, harmless vegetable ingredients, but com bine so effectively and act so promptly and thoroughly that 1t cures every form of piles whether itching, blind. bleeding or protruding. In long standing cases the Pyramid Pile Cure has proven to be the only certain cure except a surgical opera tion and its advantages over an opera tion are many. as 1t is painless, causes no delay or interference with daily occupa- ton. and last but not least, is cheaper than any surgical operation could possi- bly be, costing 50 cents a package at any drug store. The cases that the Pyramid Pile Cure will not reach are so few that physicians are. doing away with opera tions for piles and depending on this cheap but effective remedy to accomplish a complete cure, and it never disappoints except in cases beyond the reach of medi- cal skill The Pyramid Pile Cure is pre- pared by the Pyramid Drug Co.,, of Mar shall, Mich, and for sale by druggists everywhere at 50 cents per package. Each package contains treatise on cause and cure of piles. together with testimonials from every section of this country.

TEXAS WILL NOW
 WELCOME TRUSTS
Bar is Lifted for Such Compa- nies as the Standard Oil
 Combination

Austin, Texas, April N.-According to Texas, Standard oil Company and oth- CT so-called trusts heretofore barred from this State can now enter and do business under their own names. The visiting members of the committees of the New York Merchants Association and Cham Der of Commerce who arrived here and were welcomed at the state capitol by Gov. Joseph D. Savers this noon, are all talking of the speech made last night at the banquet at San Antonio by R. E. Prince, speaker of the Texas House of Representatives, defining trusts as under stood by the Texas statutes. Speaker Prince said the Texas antitrust law did not understand as trust a corporation of immense capitalization because of such capital, nor by reason of reduction of price of commodities. What constituted a trust, he said, and what would be driven from the State under the state trust law was the consolidation of two or more cor porations for the purpose of controlling prices, lowering them temporarily to squeeze out smaller competitors and then raising the prices back to old or higher standards. Representatives of the Stand ard oil Company present applauded the sentiment, and said that under this con struction numerous corporations not now doing business here can enter the State
 After the welcome today by the Gov ernor the visitors were driven to the home of John B. Edmond, where an elab- crate dinner was served. Later they were shown the practical working of the Texas government. and at night were given an- other banquet at the Driskill Hotel. Here the leading speaker was Judge John H. Reagan. formerly postmaster general of the Confederacy and sole survivor of Jeff ferson Davis cabinet. who spoke on the railway situations in Texas.
 Sunday morning the visitors will take a short run to Llano to see Marble Falls and Granite Mountain. returning at night to this city. whence they will leave at midnight to spend Monday in Temple, Waco and Fort Worth.

The Murmurer's Quotation.

Editor Age Herald:
 'rhe Murmurer'' in answering the ques- ton as to the authorship of the famous words:
 He who dallies is a dastard
 He who doubts is damned
 attributes them to the Hon. Benjamin H. Hill, deceased. but with his characteristic thoughtfulness and prudence. says The Murmurer does not state it as a fact, that the imperishable words quoted were ut tered first by the immortal Hill"
 The Hon. George McDuffee Is generally conceded to be the author of those words Tn the exciting canvas in South Carolina in Qualification times, McDuffee was an ardent supporter of the immortal John c. Calhoun, and his measures and policies, and in an impassioned speech to a South Carolina audience, urging upon them action against what he conceived to he the oppressive measures of Con gress, which Calhoun had called 'the bill of abominations', he closed one of his speeches with those words.
 Like .'The Murmurer". do not say that they were original with McDuffee It is probable that he quoted them, as Mir. Hill did afterwards, but until some other person is shown to have uttered them before McDuffee, he will be entitled to be considered as the author of them. Respectfully, SAMUEL WILL JOHN.
 Colonel John is one of the best-inform- ed and most enlightened of the public men of Alabama. and his statement upon the interesting question, first raised by Mrs. Baskerville of Columbus, Miss, and drawn from her by the appearance of the famous quotation as a quotation in last Sundays Murmur of The World, will be read with wide interest.
 As was stated yesterday. the words are not found in Bartlett's Familiar Quota tions. the standard work upon quotations Some correspondents have declared that the ringing phrase comes originally from Shakespeare. but fail to cite the precise passage. Bartlett's Concordance to Shakespeare. which is standard work, fails to show any passage in Shakes peare's works even remotely resembling this one.
 Mir. John Ryan believes he heard 1t used by Proctor Knott-in his famous 'Duluth'' speech in Congress of nearly thirty years

DISCOVERY OF KHAKI.
Firet Production of the Cloth which
Clothes English and Amer
lean Soldiers.

The London Daily News, to illus
trate the part played by lucky acci-
dent in the discovery of inventions,
told the other day story about
khaki, the olive-colored canvas cloth
worn by the English and American
soldiers in hot countries.
This cotton stuff has been worn in
India by British troops for many
years. Its tint was greenish brown,
but it always faded when it was
washed with soap.
A business man from Manchester,
while travelling in India, happened to
fall into conversation with an Eng
lish officer, who remarked, carelessly,
that the first manufacturer who could
produce cotton drill that would not
fade would make his fortune.
The young Englishman never for
got this hint. lie came home, found a
skillful dyer, and with him began the
search for an olive dye which, when
used on cotton cloth, would not yield
to soap or soda. They spent years in
these experiments, all of which proved
fruitless.
One day they found among several
scraps of .ed cloth one which re-
tanned its color under the most severe
tests. The puzzling fact was that it
had been cut from the same piece of
cloth, and subjected to the same proc
esses as the other scraps, all of which
faded
The two experimenters were great
ly puzzled, and for months tried in
vain to solve the riddle. The one it,
tie fragment of Khaki was the only
one which kept its color against all
attacks.
BY chance one day they found that
the dye in which this scrap had been
dipped hRd ,emaincd for a time in a
metal dish Of peculiar kind. The
secret was iound The metal Of The
dish, in combination with the chemi-
calls Of the dye, had furnished the one
thing needEul. They tried the expert
ment with other pieces, The dye held,
and their fortunes were made.
1t was not chance which gave them
their success. but the indomitable pa
tience and persistence which pursued
the chance, and the intelligence which
seized it,

1t is thought that the Maine legisla-
ture will this winter repeal all laws
providing for the payment of bounty
on wild animals killed in the state
The experience with bears in particu-
lar has demonstrated that the bounty
laws. while burden ON the taxpayers,
do not always cause an increase in the
number of predatory animals killed,
reports the New York Sun.
Up to two years ago Maine paid q
bounty Of IS each on bears, and when
IL was proposed to repeal the law II was
argued that without the bounty as an
incentive to hunters to kill off the bears
no sheep could be raised in many parts
OF the state. The bounty was repealed
and experience has shown that more
bears have been shot since that time
than ever before, while no more sheep
have been killed by bears than when
the bounty was in force.
Sportsmen from the large cities are
becoming tired Of shooting deer, which
is rather tame sport anyway, and as
only one man in ten can get a moose,
many are turning their attention to
bears as being not only nobler but also
more. valuable game than deer. The
skin Of a good bear is worth taking
home, while deer skin is worth very
little, and the meat Of the bear is also
good, according to many tastes. For
merly few bears were taken through
Bangor by sportsmen on their way
home, but this season the shipments
average ten q week.

Russian Gentlemen of Quality Rid6

Every Russian gentleman Of wealth

three horses abreast, attached TO q
fashionable "troika," a vehicle wholly
dissimilar to the carriages used in
other countries, but answering the
same purpose. The two flanking horses

The ordinary whip is never employed
by the Russian driver of a troiloa. When
a whip is used it is short-handled af-

when the horse is to be punished Sc

knob of metal which is attached to
each rein about half way between the
horses mouth and the drivers hands.
