TOO GREAT EXPENSE
Not the Reason.

IT is not because Pyramid Pile Cure
is 50 expensive that many people de-
cline TO give it trial. but because they
find il too great n tax on their credui-
ity to believe that the published letters
bearing testimony to the merit of this
remedy are genuine and bona fide;
especially to those who have realized
the suffering incident to piles is it in
credible that anyone who has been
afflicted twenty-five and thirty years
with the worst forms of protruding
and bleeding piles should be cured by
the application of simple remedy,
when their physician has assured them
that the only relief is in surgical
operation This is rightfully viewed
with dread by all those afflicted. as it
means at the least a great shock to
the nervous system, with more than q
possibility Of utter collapse and death,
in the majority of cases, too, there is n
return of the complaint. owing to the
fact that the cause is not removed.
The proprietors of Pyramid Pie
Cure agree to forfeit one thousand
dollars to anyone VINO will show a
single published testimonial to be not
genuine and unsolicited; this latter
feature is most gratifying inasmuch as
these letters are written solely out OF
gratitude. and with the hope that those
who are afflicted as the writers have
been may learn that relief IS at hand
ut n comparatively trifiing expense.
Pyramid Pile Cure is for sale by drug
sists at fifty cents package, or will be
mailed by the makers to any address
upon receipt of price.

NAMES BIG MOOSE.
Monster Animal Again Been Seen in
Katahdin Region.
Many Hunters Have Tried to Get Hin
in the Past.

The enormous moose of the Maine
woods that has been the wonder of all
spoTtsmen and the terror of supersti-
tious wOodsmen since 1891 has again
been seen. and people who have always
laughed at the stories of the white
moose and the spectre moose" are
beginning to believe that, after all,
there is some kind of an overgrown
freak wandering around Lobster Lake
and Mount Katahdin. A few days ago
a Boston sportsman, named NJ. A.
Cushing came down from the Katahdin
Iron Works region and reported having
seen the big moose and having tried to
get photograph of him. He had heard
stories of the white moose, but had re-
fused to believe them. but when, one
day near Chairback Mountain, he re-
ceived visit from the monster, he was
convinced, also so startled that he forgot
all about his camera until too late to
get n picture. Mr.. Gushing describes
the moose as the largest by far that he
has ever seen, and of a dusty white
color, except for a brown patch under
the chin. He thinks the animal would
DE worth at least 81 1000 when mounted.
Every story that comes from the
North Woods concerning this moose
makes him a little bigger than before:
but, allowing for exaggeration, it is
reasonably certain that no moose yet
killed in Maine has approached this in
size. 1t was in 1891 that the moose WAS
first seen in Maine. by Clarence Duffy,
an Old Town guide, who was cruising
around Lobster Lake. Duffy did not
get near enough to the monster for a
shot, but said he saw him plainly, and
gave detailed description of the ami
NAL when he came back to town.
Everybody laughed at the story, and
Duffy was set down as the greatest
romancer of his time. Not many
months after that, however. John Ross,
a Bangor lumberman, was at Lobster
Lake, where he had camps, and one
| day, while crossing between Big Lob
ster and Little Lobster lakes, in COM
pany with the foreman OF w. l.. Max
| fields camps, he saw the big moose.
Mr. Ross is no ronancer, and when he
| told his story people began to believe
| that there was something up there
worth shooting at.
| For Some years hunters searched the
woods in vain for the big moose, for
| it would be worth q small fortune
| to any man to bring him down. Not
| until 1895, however, was the monster
seen again. In that year Granville

Sept. 30. has the following flattering
criticism of Leroy F. French's four act

three nights engagement with this

piece is one that thrills and in the
hands OF a capable company 1t is sure
to prove big success. The scenic eff

ordinary drama seen in this city and
with several strong climaxes such as
