SEVERE HEMORRHOIDS
Sores, and Itching Eczema-Doctor
Thought an Operation Necessary
-Cuticura's Efficacy Proven.

II am now so years old, and three
years ago I was taken with an at
tack of piles (hemorrhoids). bleeding
and protruding. The doctor said the
only help for me was to go to
hospital and be operated on. I tried
several remedies for months but did
not get much help. During this time
sores appeared which changed to q
terrible itching eczema. Then I began
to use Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and
Pills, injecting quantity of Cuticura
Ointment with Cuticura Suppository
Syringe. 1t took a month of this
treatment to get me in fairly healthy
state and then treated myself once
a day for three months and, after that,
once or twice a week. The treatments
I tried took lot of money, and it is
fortunate that used Cuticura. ]. H.

FUN FOR "HAPPY COUPLE"
Modern Wedding Described with Pos
sibly Slight Exaggeration.

The young pair had so many friends
that the police were quite unable to
cope with the situation. The bride
was headed up in barrel and thrown
into the river, while the groom was
bound and gagged and suspended by
his feet from tall tree.
At this point the military was
called out and arrived at double quick
just in time to save the baggage from
being pasted over with insulting pla'
cards.
A number of shot were exchanged.
At late hour the city was reported
quiet and the authorities, though not
denying the popularity of the high
contracting parties, were confident
that there would be no more violence.

GERMANY DOUBTS SINCERITY or
PEACE ASSURANCES.
Matter to Be Taken Up by Reichstag,
According to Berlin Report-Bad
Faith Is Charged.

Berlin, Nov. 2O.-Several days have
passed since Emperor William made
his statement to Chancellor Won Bue-
low regarding his observance in f,l-
ture of the constitutional require
ments of the empire in the matter OF
interfering in the foreign relations of
the state, and the German people are
even less satisfied with the imperial
assurances than they were in the be-
ginning. There was Thursday through
out the country an almost universal
tendency to doubt the sincerity of the
emperor's promises. In fact, the peo-
pie seem to be thoroughly dissatis-
fed with the imperial assurances as
conveyed by the Reichsanzeiger. The
press does not hesitate to intimate
that the emperor will not fulfill his
implied obligation to leave the con-
duct of the nations affairs to the re-
sponsible ministers, and in some quar-
tiers his words are almost classified as
untrue.
The matter will not be allowed to
rest by the reichstag, if the indica-
tons of Thursday are fulfilled, and
there is reason to believe that the con-
test between the crown and the peo-
pie, judging from the temper of the
provincial press, has only begun and
that it will be carried on with a good
deal of bitterness.
Thursday many of the parliamentary
groups held private sessions to decide
what course shall be adopted in con-
nection with the imperial declaration.
Chancellor Won Buelow made a
lengthy speech in the reichstag on the
new measures to increase the imperial
revenues. The house was only half
filled. The prince held that the exist
ing unfriendly feeling toward Germany
could be overcome, and he said he
thought borrowing policy was I'M
worthy German progress and industry.
He spoke in praise of the British and
French methods of finance, especially
the sinking fund, and concluded, amid
cheers and Kisses, with these
words
Germans desire quiet at home and
abroad, but their fault is that, al
though able, they are unwilling to pay
more taxes"
