Just a little pain may so distract man's life that it will cost blm hundreds of dollars. Life is a battle. To succeed one needs all his energies and all hi brain force to apply to the ques tion at hand. Even a corn will make him irritable, cross, angry and an angry mnn seldom succeeds. The trifling pain of a corn is a pleasant feeling besides the agonttlng ache of piles.

That is a pain which ferms to prevade the whole body. It communicates Itself to all parts near the seat or the trouble and brings on a heavy dragging feeling In the perineum. Those who do not so suffer do not know what it means. It racks the nerves, prevents sleep, prevents concentrated thought and makes a man lose flesh as fast as he would with a virulent fever. And yet piles are looked upon as a little thing.

They are neglected al The art history department, though rJ 10 n(i from year to yeat By and by not boasting of so large a membership aa either of thd foregoing ones, made up for this in teal and enthusiasm.

There Is only one safe and quick cure for piles. It Is the Tyramld Pile Cure.

It is a recent discovery and ita properties are such that it cleanses, soothes and heals the inflamed parts, reduces the inflammation at once and with continued treatment, removes all swelling and all trace of disease. It puts tne membranes in a healthy, active condition and cures completely and permanently. From C. F. Collins, Carnett: "I commenced using the Pyramid Pile Cure, but my case was so bad that I was afraid the remedy would fail, but before I had used two thirds of a pack age I began to feel much better, and I can honestly say I am entirely cured It is the Quickest and surest remedy have ever heard of." From Josiah Roberts, Port Oram.

"Just one quarter of a package ot the Pyramid Pile Cure did wonders for me and I have lost no opportunity of recommending such a wonderful rem edy." From Wm. McHale. Rocknort.

Sources of Shakespeare's sixth Conversation, "Important Events of the Week." The Thirty Tyrants is a unique and delightful club and has the feature of being the only literary club in tin; city which embraces both ladUs and gentle men. It had its origin, in the desire of some ladies to belong to a club where their husbands couid be with them and share their labors and recreations.

Th first meeting was at Mrs. Cummings'. It was decided to have no constitution, by laws, programmes qr anything to make the club a burden. Each, mem ber has a paper, subject chosen by writ er once a year, but notice of the sub jects are given long enough before, so that every one can be prepared for the discussion which follows every paper No more than two papers are allowed In one evening. It meets at the hom of members who issue the only notice of the meeting.

'But the business meeting lasted until nearly midnight, when the disgusted visitors went away, having been told by Sir Knight Guy, with a bland but unconvincing smile, that it was all over. During the long session of the "busl' nesa meeting" Sir Knight Guy was atked who would present the "queen with the insignia of SL Catherine. He replied: "The envoy of the Prince de Luslgnan, who is prince of Jerusalem Cyprus and Armenia." "What is the envoy's name, Sir Knight?" "I do not know." "Dots 'Queen' Lnvlnia know?" "No, she docs not; but I will find out." But when questioned later the knight "could not remember." Then it transpired that the envoy had never seen Jerusalem, Cyprus or Armenia, and was no lesa a personage than Brian G. Hughes of cat flhow fame. It was shortly after midnight when the envoy, escorted by Sir Knight Guy, was led away.

No one was allowed to ques tion the envoy, because he was not supposed to understand English. He was taken to an elevator and swallowed up In one of the 1,400 rooms of the hotel. Queen Lavlnla yesterday avowed her Ignorance ot anything peculiar. She simply said she bad received a new badgA and it had come from the Order of St. Catherine.

Sue would nut show It, however. A man who was present at the decorating aald: "I was not tn the room at the time the star was pinned on the queen's breast. I hd left befote that. I saw the star, however, and appeared to be gold, but was not handsome. Sumo one whispered to me that It was a fake, and I left.

The envoy was a nice looking gentleman, but he certainly was not a foreigner. He spoke English too well fur that, an.l his whole demeanor was American.
