ABSORBING PROBLEM
Of kha Praaent Day.

The absorbing problem of today is, how to expend one's income so as to attain the best results; that Is, get full value TOT ones money.
 It may truthfuIly be said that this has been. is, and always will be an absorbing problem to those with limited means; but the fact remains that, with the price Of living necessities constantly rising one must husband ones resources more care fully than ever before if he would live within hts income. In saying that prices are rising, we except one article which has come to occupy prominent place In the family medicine closet, and that is the specific for piles or hemorrhoids known as Pyramid Pile Cure; this remedy is still sold by druggists at the old prices of fifty cents and one dollar, and these prices will remain unchanged. Those to whom this preparation has brought re- lief and a cure after years of suffering do not need to be told of It's merits; others are advised that 1t is the greatest boon ever discovered, to all those af- fiicted with any form of piles; it is in suppository form, is easily applied, reaches the seat of the complaint, and gives immediate relief and lasting cure.
 The reader may have tried salves, oint- ments and lotions without benefit and feeling that his money has been wasted, resolves to suffer on rather than experi- ment farther. The reason for the failure of these treatments is, that they do not reach the seat of the trouble, and hence do not remove the cause, as does Pyra- mid Pile Cure A little book describing piles, their cause ana cure, is pub lished by the Pyramid Drug Co.,, Mar shall, Mich, and anyone may procure copy by sending name and address to above firm. As showing the estimation in which this remedy is held by the pub lie 1t may interest the reader to know that its sales now exceed those of all other pile remedies combined.

REFUSED TO GRANT APPEAL.
Meeting of Stockholders of Colorado
 Fuel and Iron Go. Will Be Held.

St. Paul, November Judge Sanborn born in the United States circuit court in the United States circuit court of appeals yesterday refused to grant an ap- in the United States circuit court for the District of Colorado, which ordered that a meeting of the stockholders of the Col orado Fuel and Iron company under the supervision of special master ap- pointed by the court be held December 10 for the annual election.
 In his opinion Judge Sanborn says "the question is not whether a review of the case shall or shall no be had at some future time, but whether the review shall be ordered at this time. He cited author- ity to show that a recent revision of the law deprived the circuit court of appeals of power to grant appeal from the deci- sion of another judge in which an order refusing to dissolve an injunction, had been made and held that 1t was applica- ble in this case, and upon these grounds he refused the application for an appeal and writ"

Incident In the Life Of Author Of Alice
in Wonderland.
The author of "Alice in Wonder
land" was one of the sights of Ok
ford, says Rev. Mr.. Tuckwell in his
"Reminiscences' Of that famous uni
versity town, and he describes him:
Strangers, lady strangers especially,
begged their lionizing friends to point
out Carroll and were disappointed
the grave, repellent face. Except to
little girls he was not an alluring per-
sonage.
His passion for them was universal
and undiscriminating; like Miss Sne-
vellici's papa, he loved them every one.
Yet even here he was symmetrical and
rigid; reaching the point where brook
and river meet, the petted, loving child
friend was dropped, abruptly, remorse-
lessly, finally.
Perhaps it was just as we'll; prob
ably the severance was mutual; the
little maids put away childish things,
he did not: to their maturer interests
and grovn-up day-dreams he could
have made no response; better to think
Of him al they think of nursery books.
a pleasant memory, laid by upon their
shelves a~ffectionately, but no longer
read.
And to the few who loved him this
faithlessness. as some called II. seems
to reveal the secret Of his character.
He was what German Novalis has
called q grown-up child.

amlned his weapon, removing each
cartridge from it's chamber and sub
shutting 1t with a fresh one from the
belt. He looked at the watch which
he had been permitted to retain and
saw that the hour was half past mid
night. He drew from under the mat
tress of his bed a bundle of Mexican
cigars, doubtless purchased for him by
Qulrlno, lit one, eXtinguished the lamp
and threw himself into a chair, his
long legs stretched in front Of him.
His face, sometimes shown by the
burning end of the cigar, was free
from care and reminiscent in express
sion. Now and then he smiled hap
PLY. Evidently he was thinking of
his love. A single bar of light from
the setting moon came through the
window and hung upon the opposite
wall. From outside came an occasion
al whir made by the wings Of the
housekeeping nighthawk.
Half past one and the cigar was
smoked out. The moonlight had gone
from the wall and the world was black.
Weston rose, buckled on his pistol,
felt that it rested lightly in the hol-
ster, jammed his sombrero down upon
his curls and stepped lightly to the
door. Once in the hall, his feet made
no more noise than those of a cat. He
reached the front door, felt for the
catch, found it and pressed it. The
door swung noiselessly open. On the
previous night he had attended to the
hinges with a bottle Of oil and a
feather. A second later he was on
the porch, with the door shut behind
him. Here he paused and SEM his
keen glance rowing. Nothing living
was in sight. From the section occu-
pied by the huts of the Mexicans came
the shrill barking of a dog. The
rancho dogs he knew were kept chain
ed at night in the rear of the house
because of their disposition to kill
things. He turned to his left, stepped
OF the porch and hurried stealthily
away. His route took him by the
bachelors quarters. He could hear
the snore of the healthy young ranch
men inside and he smiled. AS he
reached the far end of this house,
however. and turned it's corner to be-
gin his rapid walk to the river, the
figure of a man suddenly doomed five
feet in his front. It was Maude, al
ways a light sleeper, who was wander
ing about with bitter memories. The
men saw each other at the same in
slant. An exclamation came from the
Englishnan, but no more. He was
hurled backward as If struck by a fall
ing tree. Weston's powerful grip was
on his throat and his knee was on his
chest. Cutlery was impossible. With
uncomfortable speed the fugitive, with
disengaged hand, jerked from under
his pistol belt the silk scarf which he
wore, then, releasing his hold on the
throat, wrapped the silk about his half
unconscious victims head and mouth,
tying 1t tightly. Maude himself wore
a leathern belt and this was used to
truss his arms and legs together. In
a minute at most he was lying bound
silent and helpless.
Weston looked down on him with 2
grim smile, painting slightly.
II believe you're the man who shot
me-" he said, but I've no time to even
up the score, and she wouldn't like it,"
The next moment he had disappear
ed in the darkness, running swiftly
and lightly, ahead Of him showing
dimly the dark range OF the Mexican
hills.
