ISLES OF PINES TREATY.
Some Misunderstanding About Its
Ratification.

Havana. Feb. 25.-The lapsing of the
Isle of Pines treaty on account of its
not being ratified within the time limit
is regarded here TO be mainly due to
the fact that the state department at
Washington did rot call attention to
the matter. 1t would also appear, how
ever. that the Cuban state department
failed TO remember this time limit.
The treaty was signed in Havana. July
2. 1908. and was ratified by the Cuban
Senate on July 16. since when it has
been ending in the United States Sem
ate. The last condition OF the treaty
was TO the effect that the ratifications
he exchanged in Washington within
seven months of the date of signing.
Persons interested in securing Amer
lean sovereignty for the Isle of Pines
are jubilant over this development.
considering it to be 4 setback which
gives additional promise to the final
defeat of the proposition that the is
land remain under Cuban sovereignty.

SLEEP is PRICELESS.
But It Can Be Obtained by Simple
Methods.

Are you a hard worker? Are you
overcome with fatigue ut the end CT
each days labor, and instead of retir-
ing to bed with a feeling of satisfaction
at the prospect Of nights repose, do
you wait the hour of bedtime with
dread and shrinking?
Is it your unhappy lot to be awaken
ed every night, just after you have
dropped Off to sleep, by an intense, I'M
comfortable itching of the rectum? Do
you then ondeavor to relieve the sens
alton by scratching so desperately that
the skin becomes raw and lacerated,
and you finally sink into the sleep Of
exhaustion?
If so. you do not need to be told that
YOU are afflicted with itching piles
You have probably tried every remedy
you could hear of. with but temporary
relief. if any, and have concluded there
was nothing left for you but to drag
out miserable existence. AS a
drowning man grasps at straw, so
should you eagerly devour the words
Of w. g. Milbury, 20 Pearl ST., Reading,
Mass
II am pleased to state that I bought
one fifty cent box of Pyramid Pile Cure
at the drug store. and used about one
half of it, and it not only cured me Of
itching piles. but also of constipation.
trouble of about fifteen years stand
ing. l have tried almost everything
without any lasting benefit, but I can
honestly and truthfully state that
Pyramid Pile Cure has entirely cured
me, as / have had no return of that
terrible itching, which used to keep me
awake by the hour, night after night.
If the old trouble should ever return I
will know just what to do. but 1 guess
1t won't for it is now six or seven
months since 1 first used this wonder
full remedy"
/. We vouch for the authenticity Of this
testimonial. and as Mr.. Milbury found
relief and cure, so you may also. Do
not delay. but buy a box and try it to-
night. and do not allow any dealer to
sell you something just as good. -

So Says Panama Canal Company Pres
ident About Transfer.

Paris. Feb. 25.-Conversations which
has occurred between NJ. 30. president
OF the Panama canal company and
Ambassador Porter. show that in the
opinion of the former no obstacles will
be placed by the company in the way
of the transfer Of the concession to
the United States. 1t was admitted
at the Colombian legation that there
IS every likelihood of the courts refus-
ing to grant writ enjoining the COM
pany from selling the concession. but,
every effort will be made to retain the
ownership of the Colombian shares. in
order that Colombia may profit in the
distribution of the money paid for the
concession.
Beyond this litigation the legation
does not expect that any action will be
taken.
