RlGll 6 POOR
ALI IL ]! !::, M,lz

Itching Piles is one of the most persistent plaques that the world has ever known. Men and women, old and young, rich and poor suffer alike, and for ages it was generally believed that there was no cure for the exasperating malady. Now and then preparations have ap- peared that would relieve the itchiness temporarily, but that was all. There seemed to be absolutely no real cure.
 That is all changed now, however. Doan's Ointment will cure Piles, whether itch- ing, protruding or bleeding. It is also safe and absolutely sure cure for eczema and all other itching diseases of the skin. Doan's Ointment Is a pleasant, harmless and abso- lutely sure remedy for all itch ing diseases of the skin.

Nothing Fixed.

Recently when a church steep1e was in course of erection in village in the west of Scotland, one of the leading heritors had conversation with the architect, and pointed out the danger which he supposed might arise from the action of the wind upon the weath- ercock, the great size of which sur prised him when he saw 1t on the ground. He thought it would be apt to disturb the stones upon the pin nacle of the steeple.
 "Oh, there's no danger" said the architect. "You see, the weathercoclz turns round with the wind, and never presents any great surface toit. There is nothing fixed but the cardinal points"
 "Aweel," said the heritor, "could ye no mak' the cardinal points turn round, too" ?"-London Tit-Bits.

 MT. Patrick Nolan, of Mo- 12S Railroad Avenue, Bridge port, Conn :, says: "To any one troubled with any form of ir- ritation of the skin, I can with confidence recommend Doan's Ointment. I was for a long time bothered with a persistent irritation on my body, and none of the many preparations and ointments I used did me any good until I procured Doan's Ointment at Drug Store and applied it. It was so soothing and healing, and acted so promptly that felt relief from the first, and improved steadily. It is the best remedy for ir- ritation of the skin there is on the market. .'

for him. Accordingly, whenever he was thirsty he would take the handle in his teeth and shake it, barking wig orously.
 This gave his master an ingenious idea. The young man rigged to the handle kind of pulley, with cord hanging from it, and piece of broom handle about six inches long, fastened to the end. To take hold of the piece of broom handle and shake it vigor- ously caused the rigging to move tho handle up and down and little water to flow
 The first time the dog saw the dang ling wood of size so attractive and so suited to his mouth, he seized it, and he shook it up and down and from side to side. About pint of water fowed into the basin, and he took a drink. 'a
 Ever since, whenever he has been thirsty, Jack has pumped for himself.
