VALUE OF TESTIMONY
Greater Than Assertion,

There is none of us so hardened but that when we have been able to aid our fellow creatures by conferring a benefit or bringing a little comfort into their lives we like to have appreciation shown. This generally affords more pleasure than the performance of the act itself, and in this connection the following letter from Paris. Tex, lady is of more than usual interest," Dear Friends-I address you as sueh for you have been such to me suffered for three years off and on with piles. I was treated at the hospital. and the new and elegant hospital of Memphis: they only gave me temporary relief I came West, thinking the change of air and water would benefit me: five months ago the bleeding piles came back on me and bled so much that thought I would die. l have had four of the finest doctors in this section of Texas; all they did was to finally nearly let me go to my grave; all they wanted was big sum of money from me and to operate on me I said no. no surgeons knife would enter me; if it was my time to die God knew it, and when l died l would die all together began hearing about your medicine had no faith in you but sent and got a box of your Pyramid Pile Cure: in two days the blood flow had slackened to one-half the amount. and in one week I felt so much better l walked four blocks and did little housework. I was not bleed- ing then; in three weeks l was we'll God bless you for putting such a wonderful medicine within the reach or suffering men and women. I shall never cease to recommend your medicine or be without 1t; also 1 used your Pyramid Pills Sallie A. Hearndon." Testimony like this should be more convincing than all claims and assertions, and should leave no doubt in the mind of the reader as to the merit of the remedy. Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by druggists for fifty cents a pack age, or will be mailed by the makers to any address upon receipt of price. Write Pyramid Drug Co.,, Marshall.

The price for seed potatoes is advancing rapidly and the dealers want to take advantage of the market as the farme may raise the price still further.
 Less than three weeks ago potato stock was selling at s5 cents at leading stations. Now the holders are asking s1.25. The demand is from Southern sections. While they raise good table potatoes in the South, they are compelled to come North each season for seed stock.

AN INTERESTING SCENE.
Building Operation That Curious Crowds
Gather TO See.

The most interesting scene in
Washington" said an observing citi-
zen to a Star reporter, lis the boy at
the blower ninging red-hot bolts
through the air in the operation Of
fastening the structural steel frame
of new building on q street.
interested crowds have daily
watched this expert boy at the blower
in the hope that his aim might prove
false and the meteoric blazing bit of
steel drop sizzling into the pools of
water in the cellar, but the boy at the
blower has fooled the crowd. II is
this way:
The steel skeleton floors of the
building are about 200 by so feet.
The boy, with his little blast-furnace,
occupies a position in the center Of
the floor where the work is going on.
The spaces between the girders are
too wide for him to step to the gang
of workmen who hammer the red-ho
bolts into the connecting ends Of the
frame work, and their position
changes too frequently to 60 to the
trouble of laying down a path Of
boards. So the boy seizes the small,
blazing lump of red-hot steel in his
tongs and filings it right at the work
men, perhaps 80 to 40 feet away, as
one boy filings ball to another. One
Of the workmen will catch the missile
in an empty nail keg as cleyerly as the
boy throws it, another takes it out
with pair of tongs, and in a few Sec
onds it is in place and hammered hard
and fast as a bolt in boiler.
Whether the boy at the blower
and the man with the empty nail keg
is on the first or the tenth floor Of the
steel frame work, this dangerous
pitch and catch of red-hot pieces Of
metal goes on all day. There is sell
dom a 'muff' by the catcher or
high bali by the pitcher. The
crowds have patiently waited by the
hour to see one of the red-hot bolts
strike the man in the face instead of
the interior of the keg, or miss him,
and they have thus far waited in
vain"

BRITISH GUIANA.
United States Has Almost a. Much
Trade as the Mothsf Country.

The annual report Of the British
colonial office on British Guiana
shows that the total trade Of the coli
ony Is nearly equally divided between
the United States and the mother
country. Another interesting fca-
ture Of the report Is the legislative AID
given to establish peasantry On
crown lands. Under the former sys-
TEN Of land grants the poor man was
unable to take up lands, but since
1895 the number Of grants has IN
creased rapidly. and last year these
amounted TO 1874 acres, while IN
the previous year the area was ! ,925
acres. Last year the revenue was
fJO9, $50, and the expenditure $780,
1872. Threc-ffths OF the revenues are
derived from customs The public
debt is under El,O0O,00O sterling.
The imports amounted TO II 1898, j2S,
and the exports to f2, 06S, 406; of the
latter more than half consisted Of
sugar The exports last year were
the largest for the past five years.
The United Kingdom absorbed over

United States ~ per cent, and other
British possessions over seven per
cent. The population Of the colony
at the end of 1900 was 29i,9l3. Inn

Despite the watchfulness of Miner.
va, Adelbert managed to elude her
after the basket luncheon had been
eaten and to wander along the shore
of the lake in company with Sally.
Tom Owlish stood in a forest be-
hind a wall that extended along one
side Of a country road. The road
was unusually narrow there and the
place lonely and secluded 1t was
early in the evening and the moon
was shining brightly.
Soon Livingstone appeared on
horseback, and with a grimace of sat-
isfaction Owlish squatted behind the
wall and waited for his victim to 90
by. The horse was walking and Adel-
bert was enjoying the light of the
moon.
AT the proper moment 0wlish
threw stone that struck Livingstone
fairly on the back of his head and he
fell insensible to the ground. Owl
ish Immediately fled into the depths
of the forest.
Fortunately Mr.. Wartrous hap
pened to be driving home from the
village and he found Adelbert lying
in the road. He placed the still I'M
conscious man in his wagon and car
ried him to his home, not half mile
distant.
Of course, Sally proved to be COM
petent and devoted nurse, and Adel-
bert soon recovered from his injury:
but he told Sally that it was impossi-
BILE for him to recover his heart, and
she blushingly promised to take good
care of it for him.
As for Minerva, she "took up" with
Tom Owlish One day, when he was
drunk, her husband informed her
that il was he who had hit Adelbert
Livingstone with the stone and had
thus enabled Sally Wartrous TO
catch the desirable city man for
husband. Thereafter the quarrels
between Mr.. and Mrs. Owlish were
much more frequent than formerly
and at last she left the mean fellow
and returned to the home of her
parents.-Boston Globe.

TRADE WITH ALASKA.
Facts Compiled by the National Bureau
OF Statistics.

OF Statistics.
Commercial Alaska in 1909 Is
the title of monograph prepared by
the treasury bureau Of statistics for
publication IN the forthcoming issue
OF the monthly summary. In this the
commercial conditions, opportunities
and prospects in Alaska are set forth,
the number Of industries at the pres
ent time, the routes Of travel, the
methods Of reaching that once dis
tant but now accessible territory,
and a summarlzation of the CONNER
cial and financial results OF ownership
Of that territory by the United States.
This statement is presented at the
present moment both by reason Of the
growing interest IN Alaska and cspc-
cially because Of the fact that the
bureau OF statistics Is to publish IN
future monthly statements Of the
ommerce of Alaska with ports Of the
United States.
Alaska, for which the United
States paid Russia s. 100000 in
1867, has supplied furs, fish and gold
amounting TO about $4,000, 900 IN
value, about equally divided between
these three items: that the invest
ments of capital from the United
States in Alaska are probably S25,-
100000, with a large additional sum
invested in transportation to that
territory; and the annual shipments
of merchandise TO Alaska now aggre-
gate more than Sl2, 900 900, and have
aggregated since the purchase nearly
or quite $10O,00O,OO0. Meantime,
the population has grown from an es-
timated 80, 000at the date Of purchase
to 2,052 in 1890, GO, 592 in 1900. and
an estimated $4,000 at the present
time.

and other furs taken since the pur-
chase Of Alaska by the United States
is estimated at about 100000, 900.
The fur seal industry, which has de-
clined in the last few years, was sue
ceeded by the fishing industry, Alas
ka now supplying about one-half of
the salmon of the country. The
value Of the salmon pack in Alaska
last year is estimated at about ST.
100000, and the total value of the
fish taken in Alaska since the pur-
chase about $5O,0O0,O0O while the
value of gold and silver mined since
the purchase is also about $5O,OOO,- |
