piles. I was in such misery I could
scarcely walk across the floor. Men

I had given up all
hopes of getting
well; everybody
thought I had

After taking"

I felt very much better
and was able to do nearly all my own
work. I continued the use of your medi

you. I cannot thank you enough foryour

they have been in danger of getting
killed one way 01 another, and they as

Seattle the day before Christmas.
There will be more new fishing gear
on the Columbia river dnring the next
season than there has been fur several
years. The price for raw fish promises
to be good, and in anticipation of it,
nearly every local fisherman is knitting
himself a new net, and, what is a more
promising sign, the canneryrnen are
not hesitating about giving the fisher
lien plenty of credit for twine.

It is currently believed that the
Northern Pacilic is making strenuous
efforts to establish a line to connect
with the Seven Devils railroad, and
thus tap a rich copper region. The
Northwestern Railway Company has
also three crews of suiveyors in the
field, and is preparing the way for
graders from Huntington to the Ox
bend of Snake river, and from there
to the Peacock mine. There are now
28 O. R. & N. surveyors working from
Keating, on Loner Powder river, to
Eagle valley, arranging for the con
struction work from Baker City to
Seven Devils.
A Good Showing.
The Whatcom creamery has turned
out 82,840 pounds of butter, or over
lb tons since May 1, 1898. Patrons de
liver their cream and receive 24 cents
per pound for the butter yielded. The
sum ot $6,803 has thus been paid out to
Whatcom county residents since May.

February 1 the citizens of Globe,
Ariz., will celebrate the completion to
that point of the Gila valley. Globe Sc
Northern. The regulation golden spike
will be driven, and the citizens of
Globe will make the event an auspi
cious one. The probabilities are that
the Southern Paoifio will make special
ratets to Globe fiom all points between
Los Angeles and El Paso, and that the
inhabitants of that section of country
will torn out in gala attire. '

Germany has 711 miles of eleotrio rail

BAG and a bone and a hank
hnlr,1" cynically quoted
Marlon. The next moment
bo repented his words, when he noted
the hurt look, accompanied by the flash
of resentment. In Warren's eyes.
Marlon meant to bo sympathetic,
after the manner of men, by uttering
philosophical platitudes as a balm for
sentimental heart troubles, but he
quickly realised that the case before
blin was too genuine ana severe to oe
cured by such superficial ointment as
quotations from cynical Kipling. So
ho took another tack.
"Of course, old man, there are women
and women. Some can be had for the
asking, while others play for aU the
line they can get. It's Just like fish.
Ins" his metaphor suggesting an 11
lustration from out his sporting pro
clivities "a hornpout will bite at al
most anything, but a gamy trout in
sists on a nice fly for an attraction,
and even after you've got one really
hooked you've got to play It until your
patience Is almost gone. Now, you'd
rather have a girl with some spirit,
one who'd stand you off for a time,
than one who was all the time throw
lue herself at your head, wouldn't
rouT"
Warren vouchsafed a weak, doubtful
"'es."
"By the way, have you asked herr
"No. That's the difficulty. 1 don't
really get a chance. Just as I get my
splf snurrcd ud to the mark some con-
founded Interruption interferes, or she
switches me off on a sidetrack with
some remark or other.
"You think the girl really cares for
you?" asked Marlon, dropping bis rail
lory and becoming serious.
"1 think she does," frankly answered
Warren, "although sometimes I feel
as If I didn't know whether she did or
not," ho continued, somewhat dubl
usly.
"Well, there's only one wsy to find
out," remarked Marlon, "and that Is
to say, I have a plan," breaking
abruptly into his sentence. "I have a
nliin." be slowly repeated, "and I be
lieve It will work if you follow my ad
vice. Put yourself In my hands," he
continued, bis face brightening as his
plan was unfolded to his mind, ."and
I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that you'U
win out." Then he buttonholed War
ren, pulled him into a corner, and ad
dressed him tn a low, earnest tone, In
tersperalng his remarks with emphatic
gestures. When be bad finished War
ren still looked dubious, but somewhat
more hopeful.
"Oh, good evening, Mr. Warren. I'm
so glad to see you. We're just pack
ing up, getting ready to go to the moun
tains."
"Indeed! Lovely weather, nope
you'll have a pleasant time." But he
might have been a phonograph, or
I'unih-a ml-Judy operator, for all the
expression be put Into bis words.
"Oh, I've no doubt we will," she an
swered, with a . toss of ber head.
"There's so much going on there all
the time, and so many Interesting peo
ple to meet," she continued, with
bored air, as ir ner immediate sur
roundings were productive of nothing
but ennui
"Yes," be assented, in a listless mono
tone, which might mean anything or
nothing.
She pretended not to notice his ab
stracted manner, and rattled on.
."My friends write me there are ever
so many nice people there, and with
golf and driving and dancing there'll
be no end of fun."
"Yes."
Again Hint tone of polite Indifference,
"Well, I'm going for a trip myself,"
he added, rousing hlm-elf fiora bis leth
argy, and almost blurting out bis re
mark.
"Indeed! Where?"
This was her turn, and she countered
forcibly In tbo matter of polite Indlf
ference.
"To Hongkong."
"To Hongkong V
This time she was Interested, In splto
of herself. She repeated his remark,
with distinct emphasis on the words,
and a rising Inflection on the end of
each. "Oh, come, now, you're Joking,
You'n
"No, really," he asserted; "there's on
opening there In our house. They want
a young man to take charge of their
branch banking-house there, and I cau
have the place. It looks like a good
opening, and I thought I'd take it Of
course, It means" clearing his thsoat
"tearing one's self away from one's
friends, but then, I probably will not be
greatly missed."
"Oh, Mr. Warren," broke In tbe girl,
reproachfully.
Tbe coquettish manner was - gone.
Tbe genuine woman was sneaking.
Well, foi a Any or two a. 'few mnj
remark my absence, d thon "
lie finished the scntcuce with a cure
less wave of tils hand, to denote tin
ephemeral nature of the friendship be
conceived was felt for hlru.
"But there are no nice girls there,"
she remarked, mischievously.
She was trying to get back to the
coquette again. But her eyes were
moist.
"That Isn't a consideration," he an
swered, gloomily. "There's only one
girl In this world for whose smllo I d
give the hopes I entertain for my busi
ness future, and I'm afraid that in her
eyes I'm but as all the rest ot tbe
world."
Who Is the young lady, may I ask:
do I know her?" she queried, with an
attempt nt gnyoty. Wnrron glanced at
her, but she wasn't looking at him.
She seemed to be manifesting nu ex
tra ordinary Interest In picking at the
end of a rlbbou on her dress.
"I've just been reading the Social
Gossip," wrote Marlon, who had gone
West for a month on a business trip,
"and I congratulate you. But why tn
the name of nit that's absurd did you
hesitate to call for a show of hands,

he. "One of my neighbors, an unlucky,
tintnrirty sort of a man, killed a pig
one aay witn the aid or a local butcher.
'By jinks, Sam, I bate to cut up that
pig. 'Whyr "Cause, you see. I'm
owiu' most everybody here a piece of
pork, and If I cut np the pig I'll have
to give most of him awoy.' 'I tell you
what to do, said the butcher. "What's
that? 'I'd have the pig hung tin out
doors till twelve o'clock at night, then
take him In and give out the next morn
ing that he's been stolon.' 'By jinks,
I'll do It'
"It was a wonderfully fine plan, the
farmer thought and be left the pig
banging out as the butcher suggested
"At eleven o'clock the butcher him
self came along and packed tbo pork
Into his cart It was not there when tbe
farmer went out after It
"The next day, with a long face, ho
addressed the butcher in a hoarse
whlsiier: 'I say, Sam, somebody did
really steal that pig. That's right,
said tho butcher, nudging him and
winking wickedly at the same time,
'But by Jiuks, the pig . was really
stolen.' That's right; you stick to that
and you'll be all right said tho
butcher, encouragingly, and ho hurried
off, leaving his friend in a most lie
wtldcred state of mind, from which I
don't think be ever fully emerged."

one of the sailors turned to his com

"Eh, Jack, lad; it's a long time since
we beard that song."
"What song?"
"The one that fellow's singing In the
strect-The Light of Other Days.' "
"Stow It!" ejaculated the other gruff'
ly. "That fellow ain't singing The
Light of Other Days' at all, man. I've
been listening to him. lie's a-plplng
'Tho Banks of Allan Water.' "
Each sailor was certain he was right
and, with characteristic contempt for
money, a wager was mndo a month's
wages depended on the result
"Here, Tommy!" called out one of
the men to the little son of the land
lord, "run out and get .to know what
that fellow's singing."
Tommy departed on bis errand, which
did not tako many minutes.
"Well," demanded Jack when the
youngster returned, "which of us Is

"Naytkur," replied Tqsnmy, grinning,
