AN UNPLEASANT Ex-
PERIENCE.

Has it ever been your unhappy lot
to be told by your physician that you
must go to hospital and submit to
an operation? If so, you remember
with what dread and shrinking you
awaited the day when you must en-
dure the knife. The present day sur
geon appears to be possessed by
mania for operating, especially in cases
of hemorrhoids or piles, and while the
greater number of the profession do
not recommend this last resort" un-
less they honestly believe it necessary,
the fact remains that much needless
operating is done, and the patient put
to much expense and suffering for
what? To obtain a possible tempor-
ary relief; these words are used ad-
videdly, because in nine cases out of
ten the afiiiction returns and the pa
tient is just where he started from
Oftentimes he could be cured much
more simply and easily by the use
of such remedy as the Pyramid Pile
Cure; this has come to be recognized
as the best remedy on the market for
the painful disease named, and the
druggists now sell more of it than all
other pile remedies combined. The
writer personally knows people who
were afflicted with the worst form of
bleeding and protruding piles and who
were permanently cured by the use Of
Pyramid Pile. Cure. In every one of
these cases the attending physician
had assured the sufferer that only by
an operation could he rid himself of
the disease; so much for the infallibil-
ity Of the doctors This remedy, which
Is sold by all druggists at the low
price of fifty cents, is i'm suppository

affected, and performs it's work quietly
and. painlessly. The Pyramid Drug
Co., Marshall, Mich, will mail free to
any address book telling all about
piles or hemorrhoids, their cause and
cure.

PORTIA
-ailed to Pass Her
Exams.
Daughter of Booker 7.
Washington
Is to Leave Wellesley College
Therefore.

Wellesley, Mass, Nov. 4-The fat
that Miss Portia Washington, daugh-
ter of Booker T. Washington, failed
to pass her examinatio in Wellesley
college and is now student at Brad
ford academy, is arousing no little
discussion. The faculty declines to
discuss the case. 1t is known, how
even that Miss Washington's entrance
to Wellesley split the college into fac
tions. Southern girls refused to have
anything to do with this colored stu
dent, while a good many Northern
girls made much of her. The question
of the young girls personality entered
little into this little race war. AS far
as hen personality was concerned, she
was found to be accomplished and re-
fined in every way and quite unosten-
tatious.
Miss Washington proved to be a
thorn In the flesh of the faculty on ac-
count of the newspaper notoriety
which she gained. Articles signed by
her and interviews on her reception
at the college did not meet with the
approval of her teachers.

of Nelghbors.


A two story house at Adamston be-
longing to Mrs. Mary Banks, widow of
the late James Banks, burned to the
ground Sunday morning. The house
was occupied by Milton and Deming
Thomas and their families. Neither
of the men were at home. Men on
the Short Line discovered the roof all
ablaze at 8 o'clock. They gave the
alarm and the neighborhood gathered
swiftly but not In time TO save the
house. The families who occupied
the place did not know any thing Of
the fire until the roof was practically
burned Off. A door had to be broken
in to save the four or five children.
This was done just in time as it was
but few moments afterward the
building collapsed.
Everything the occupants of the
house had was destroyed. The losses
of the two families will reach $500
each with no insurance. 1t is all the
more distressing on account of the
fact that they lost all and are out of
house and home.
The building was two story frame
in good condition. 1t was uninsured
and the loss to Mrs Banks amounts
to $500.
Only by heroic efforts was a small
house adjacent to the one destroyed.
saved. 1t was occupied by man
named Lightner. he was not aroused
until the building was full of smoke
and then he showed no disposition to
get up. The fire fighters had to final
ly drag him out of bed. II the house
had caught fire sooner he would doubt
less have been burned to death.
The blaze caused much excitement
in that suburb and practically the
entire neighborhood turned out to
witness and to fight the blaze.
The homeless families are being
temporarily cared for by neighbors.
The origin OF the blaze is a mystery.

The tragedy which was enacted at
