When a prize was offered for the
fastest trotter driven by an owner the
entire sporting blood Of Washington
Township was aroused and Miss Jury
entered her pet. After an afternoon

out the final best two out Of three heats
for the trophy. The big bay driven by
Coram was not equal to the speed or

the days racing was done Miss Jury
was victor over them all. Coram ac-
cepted his defeat gracefully, but turned
his defeat into victory by winning both

PHYSICIANS EVERYWHERE
Know the Value of Pyramid Pile Cure


Gratitude alone prompts me TO tes-
tify to the efficacy Of Pyramid Pile
Cure. Last March I bought a dollar
package at the drugstore, which cured
me Of bleeding piles, and I was a suf-
ferer from them for eight years; but I
had not been troubled with them since
until last September, when I gave birth
10 a baby girl, and after that I had a
very severe case OF protruding piles.
which a trained nurse said was the
worst case she ever saw. and my doctor
told me TO get Pyramid Pile Cure again
which I did and was completely cured
in three days. I have not had piles of
sny kind since. and IL is all owing TO
this wonderful remedy. Ny nurse took

The Man Who
Boasts of Love Conquests.

Girls, l wonder if any of you number
among your men friends one who boasts
of his conquests among women and dis
plays love letters which he has received
from different girls
. If you do know such n man, my advice
TO you is to drop him." He is not to be
trusted, and he will treat you in the
same way he has treated others.
The man who reads a woman's letter
to another woman or to his men friends
is beneath contempt. He is n miserable
wretch, who goes about the world max
ing love to girls, and after he has won
their love, and the poor, little things have
committed their sentiments to paper,
he makes a jest and boast of the pa
thetic little illusions to all who will
listen.
Girls, your own womanly intuition
ought to warn you against such men
but as long as men and maids and love
shall last there will be dereiving on the
one hand guileiess trust on the other
and much heartache all around.
However. even if you cannot detect
the rnworthiness of such a man at sight,
when you once realize his perfidy you
owe it to womanhood in general to unyeil
his character. And last. but not by any
means least, you are quite as much TO
blame as he if you listen when he offers
to read you another wcman's letter.
Remember that he will read yours to
the next woman, and do your share
toward discouraging and putting down
his abominable cOnceit.-Spokesman Re

THE EVENING GRoSBEAK.
A Pretty Little Bird That Visits Pacific
Coast Cities in Severe Winters.

A flock Of evening grosbents. the pref
ty little birds which usually visit this
city during the winter, arrived here Il
few days ago. They have been fitting
about and feeding ON the seeds of the
locust trees, the pods of which still cling
to the branches, and pecking at the
stems from which the seeds of the
naples have fallen. evidently finding
something eatable there.
These birds did not visit the city last
WRITER, 1t was supposed on account OF
the season not being severe in the noun
tains and forests, where they have their
haunts. There are several species of
grosbeaks scattered over North America,
from the far north away into Mexico.
They derive the name from the large
stout bill which is characteristic of the
whole family. The evening grosheak is
the only species seen here. Flockse of
them are often seen in the pine woods
on tie Cascades and Blue mountains as
late as May, being on their way from
the south to their summer haunts in
the far countries of the north. They
are seen at different times in Wisconsin
and as far east as the New England
states.
They are supposed to visit this city
when the snow gets unusually deep in
the mountains, but their movements APP

and rose-breasted species of the gros-
beak are of more snowy plumage than
