AN E4RLy GRIsT MILL.
ODD Contrivance In Illinois That suf-
fered Through the Reckless
ness OF a RacOcon.

Down in the city Of Quincy the old
settlers tell the following story about
one Of the first If not the first mill for
grinding corn produced In that local
ity. relates a Chicago paper
The mill was the invention Of 10
cal genius whose name has been for
gotten, though the mill and its mechan
ism are still remembered. The mill
was constructed near the waters edge
at the foot Of a blum from the face OF
which poured a spring Of considerable
volume. In proper proximity to this
spring a heavy post with natural
fork at the top was set firmely IN the
ground. and balanced In this fork was
a long and slender but very tough pole,
probably a hickory sapling As enc
end Of the pole was suspended BY raw
hid a smooth bowlder OF perhaps
hundred pounds weight and on the
other end was constructed box large
enough to contain about SO gallons OF
water. The affair resembied an old
fashioned well sweep. and was so
placed that the water Of the spring
fell into the box in a steady stream,
thus depressing that end Of the pole
and eleyating the end sustaining the
bowdler. When the water Ia the box
reached a certain height it was au'
tomatically discharged by means Of
float and Sliding door. thus taking the
weight from that end Of the pole The
bowlder. relieved Of its counterpoise,
fen by its own weight. and with great
force. into a sort Of mortar prepared
Tor its reception on the ground below
This mortar was a section Of a tree
trunk followed TO hold a bushel or so
Of corn.
The mill worked perfectly The wa
ter OF the spring flowing steadily into
the box elevated the bowlder. The va
ter released, the b0wlder fell into the
mortar, crushing the corn placed there.
and the box filing again. raised the
stone for another fall. and so the
grinding, or rather crushing, went on
A bushei OF corn placed in the NOR
tar at night would be found thorough
~ ground in the morning. and the
mill was never idle.
One morning a citizen went to the
mill to remove his grist, placed In posi-
ton the night before. He found that
some animal probably coon, had in.
vaded the mortar. doubtless attracted
BY the corn. and had become a part
Of the grist. and had been thoroughly
ground and mixed with the meal.
The story soon spread abroad and
the mill became unpopular as did Its
product. A Quincy man has never
been able TO disassociate in his mind
the thought Of ground corn and ground
coon. So corn bread Is TO this day
unpopular in that city

Good health, of course, is an important

tenance, operation, protection, safety
and free use of the canal and auxiliary
works. In order to enable Colombia to
comply with this stipulation, the gov
eminent Of the United States agrees
TO give Colombia the material support
that may be required to prevent the
occupation Of said islands and ports,
guaranteeing there the sovereignty, in
dependence and integrity of Colombia.
Article VIII. Declares Panama and
Colon free ports for vessels and goods
destined for transmission through the
canal, but reserves the right to Colom-
oia to establish custom houses for the
collection OF duties on goods going to
other portions Of her territory. Then
come the provision about judicial tri-
bunals and other arrangements which
have already been explained.
Article XVI. The canal, when con-
structed, and the entrance thereto shall
be neutral in perpetuity and shall be

necessary at any time to employ arm

OF the canal, or Of the ships that may
make use Of the same, or of the rail-
ways and other works, the republic of
Colombia agrees to provide the forces
necessary for such purposes according
to the circumstances of the case, but
II the government of Colombia cannot
consistently comply with the case the
United States shall supply such force
as may be necessary for that sole
purpose, and as soon as that necessity
shall have ceased shall withdraw that
force.
Article XVII. The government Of
the United States agrees to complete
the construction of the preliminary
works necessary together with all the
auxiliary works in the shortest time
possible and within years date from
the exchange of the ratification Of this
convention the main works of the canal
shall be commenced and it shall be
opened for traffic between the two
oceans within twelve years after such
period OF one year. In case that any
obstacles should arise In the construc-
ton of the canal which are at present
impossible to foresee in connection
with the good faith with which the
government of the United States shall
have proceeded and the nature of the
obstacles which may have arisen, the
government of Colombia shall extend
the terms stipulated in this convention
for the completion of the canal for
another twelve years. But in case the
United States should at any time de-
termine to make such canal practically
a sea level canal, then such period shall
be extended for ten years further.
article XXI. provides for the pay

TOO GREAT EXPENSE
Not the Reason.

1t Is not because Pyramid Pile Cure is
SO expensive that many people decline to
give 1t a trial, but because they find it
too great tax on their credulity to be-
lfeve that the published letters bearing
testimony to the merit Of this remedy
are genuine and bona fide; especially TO
cident to piles Is it Incredible that anyone
who has been afflicted twenty-five and
thirty years with the worst forms Of pro-
truding and bleeding piles should be cured
by the application of a simple remedy,
when their physician has assured them
that the only relief is a surgical opera
This is rightfuIly viewed with dread by
all those afflicted, as it means at the least
a great shock to the nervous system, with
more than a possibility of utter collapse
and death; in the majority of cases too
there is a return of the complaint, owing
to the fact that the cause is not removed
Cure agree to forfeit one thousand dollars
to anyone who will show a single publish
ed testimonial to be not genuine and un-
solicited; this latter feature is most graf
flying, inasmuch as these letters are writ
ten solely out of gratitude, and with the
hope that those who are afflicted as the
writers, have been may learn that relief
expense. Pyramid Pile Cure is for sale sale
by druggists at fifty cents a package, or
will be mailed by the makers to any adj
dress upon receipt of price
