WHY THEY FAIL.
Most Pile Remedies Miss the Cause Of
Piles.

Disagreeable treatment with oint-
ments and suppositories usually fails
to cure piles and cutting them off
won't remove the cause. Such treat
ment only moderates the outside ef-
fects Of the disease and fails to reme-
dy the inside cause. The up-to-date
doctors now use internal medicine, to
free the circulation in the lower bowel
and SO remove the disease.

WEE INCIDENT OF CIVIL WAR
Young Soldier crawIs Along Burned
Bridge at Night and compels
Enemy to Retreat.

The bravest and coolest act that
came under my observation during
five years military service at the
time of the Civil war, was that Of
Isaac B. Hardy, soldier nineteen
years of age, who has been for many
years q resident of Santa Barbara.
March 8, 1855, Gen. Sherman, on his
march through the Carolinas, arrived
before Cheraw, on the great Pedee
river. Here the Seventeenth corps,
with my regiment, the Sixty-fourth IL
linois, known as the Yates Sharp
shooters, in the lead as skirmishers,
held the center, writes Brig. Gen. ]. 8.
Reynolds in Los Angeles Times.
l was ordered to Immediately ad-
vance the skirmishers at a double
quick through the town to the west
end Of the only bridge there over the
river, and, If possible. prevent the
enemy from destroying 1t. We reached
the bridge after the exchange OF many
shots with fleeing squads of the en-.
emys cavalry, who had been guard
ing the roads leading into tno town.

THUS the war passed. with much
suffering from myself and comrades,
until the ninth day Of April, 1865,
when we were engaged in battle at
Appomattox. We saw the flag OF
truce, and heard the command to
cease firing, then we awaited with
bated breath for long hours. All at
once we caught sight of man riding
along the line, white flag In hand, and
the cry was echoed, Lee has surren-
dered!. The shout was taken up and
passed along the lines, Lee has sur
rendered! Lee has surrendered!
Never before was seen such waving
of hats, such shouting and hallooing
as was seen upon the field OF Lees
surrender on that historical day.
II don't know how my comrades
felt, but as for myself I felt as II
had nothing TO live for IL Lee sur:

war was at close, but was think
ing OF Grant, the man who had us in
his power, and felt sure we would
all be lodged in prison fer the rest
of our lives. You can imagine my
feelings Of horror at the thought of
being shut up In dreary prison for
life.
"But we were ordered to stack arms
and march to the courthouse, and
there, when the treaty of peace was
signed, that noble man, General Grant,
gave each of US a pass, told us to
take our horses, and go home to our
families.
Il felt then, as do now, that there
never was a more kind and generous
man ever lived than General Grant.

his supplications to the contrary,

good execution, and the enemy retired

About l o'clock we heard the report
of one of our Windsor rifles at or neal

report kept up as fast as a lively sol.

recognized the gun and, as the en-
envy had commenced brisk fire, our
entire line opened fire on the opposite
shore, avoiding sending their bullets
too near the bridge

The substance of the complaint is
that along about November, 1906, the
defendant employed the plaintiff as
a real estate broker to find and secure
a purchaser for certain real property,
situated in Portland, for the sum Of
$45,O00.00 agreeing to pay the plain
tiff the usual and customary commits
sion paid to real estate agents in said
city; that plaintiff accepted the en-
ployment and in pursuance thereof,
on December Is, 1906, found and pro-
cured Frank c. Baker and A. II. Maeg-
ley as purchasers for the premises at
the price stipulated, and having noti-
fled defendant thereof the latter re-
fused to sell although Baker and
Maegley were at all times ready and
willing to purchase at that price.
The defendant admits his refusal to
sell the property and admits that the
plaintiff notified him that he had sold
the property for S45,0O0.OO, but other
wise the complaint is traYersed by the
denials of the answer. The defendant
affirmatiyely alleges that Immediately
upon notice of the property having
been sold he advised the plaintiff that
the alleged sale was unauthorized and
that he would not make the same
This allegation of the answer was
trayersed by the reply. The cause was
tried by the court without jury. The
court in it's findings, after giving the
character of the plaintiff as a real
estate broker and stating that the de-
fendant was the owner of an undi-
vided property described finds as
matter of fact that no oral communi-
cations were had between the plaintiff
and the defendant concerning the mat
ters referred to in the pleadings, and
that all the negotiations and transac-
tions between them are shown to be
and consist In correspondence which,
so far as we deem 1t material, is here
