from a newspaper In Kansas City InformlnB
mo of the occurrence and as elrcumrpcctly
as I knew how told the atory to tho boy's

bout the merits of tho cafe, but If tho boy
was smoking clgnrcttcH and refused to stop
Using them when requested I guess he got

THE ONK SI RE WAY
To Cure Uvcry form of I'llex.
The only sure way to cure every form of
ylles Is to use a remedy llko tho Pyramid
rilo Cure, which Is applied directly to tho
parts affected, and its wonderful healing
effcctH aro apparent from tho first applica
tion because Its medicinal properties aro
rnpldly absorbed right whore needed by tho
dellcato tissues and sensitive membranes
of tho rectum. Tho euro is natural and
easy and almost before tho patient is nwnro
of It every trace of piles haB left him.
This Is ono reuson why tho Pyramid I'lle
Cure has been so uniformly successful.
It is In suppository form, applied nt
night dlreotly to tho diseased parts, where
It Is most needed nnd not by tho round
ibout way of tho stomach nor tho harsh,
barbarous method of surgical operation.
Direct applications to the seat of disease
Is tho only common sense euro and this Is
fully accomplished by tho Pyramid File
Curo.
If tho voluntary testimony of thousands
Is worth anything then 'no sufferer should
delay in giving this splendid remedy at
least a trial ns It costs but CO cents at any
drug storo and Is guaranteed absolutely
safo and free from opiates or cocaine so
commonly found In so-called pllo cures.
Nearly every druggist has somo favorite
pllo curo on which ho can mako a larger
profit than bo can on tho Pyramid and
often-tlmes tries to substitute but when it
Is romombercd tha,t tho Pyramid Pllo Curo
ti tho only remedy for piles that 1ms a na
tional reputation nnd Is sold by every
Irugglst In tho United States nnd Canada
It means something; it means that no rem
edy could do this unless It possessed posi
tive, unmistakable merit.
.Tho Pyramid Pile Cure has cured thous
undn of sufferers from tho different forms'
nf tho disease, whether Itching, bleeding or
protruding piles.
'XT
with that Idea Mrs. Cornelia Colo Fair
banks, wife of Senator Fairbanks of Indi
ana, was suggested.
A committee of seven waited upon Mr,
Fairbanks and at their solicitation she con
sented to permit the use of her name ns h

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29. The following
statements are bused on nvcrage weather
conditions for January, nn determined by
a long series of observations. As tho
weather of any given Jnnuary docs not con
form strictly to tho avcrago conditions the
statements cannot he considered forecasts:
January Is n month of severe storms In
tho middle latitudes of tho North Atlantic
ocean. Along tho transatlantic steamship
tracks these storms sot In with southeast
gales, which shift to west nnd northwest,
with freezing temperature. Westwnrd
bound vessels experience sudden shifts of
wind from the southeast and storms of
comparatively short duration nnd have pre
vailing strong head (westerly) wind).
Storms encountered by enstward'bound ves
sels nro fewer In number nnd of longer
duration. The vessels and tho storm travel
in tho same direction. Storms seldom ap
pear In the tropical regions of the Atlantic
nnd Pacific oceans In Jnnuary. On tho north
coast of western Cuba, howovcr, nnd In tho
gulf of Mexico high nnd cold north winds
aro not uncommon during tho winter
months.
In tho Inke region nnd the Atlantic coaBt
districts of tho United States tho severest
January storms come from tho mlddla west
nnd southwest, with northenst, shifting to
northwest, gales and snow to tho north nnd
rnlu or light snow to tho south of tho paths
of tho storms. In tho Pacific coast states
tho rainy season Is nt Its height nnd strong
gales occur from tho central California
coast to Alaska. In tho plateau and Hocky
Mountain districts and on the great plains
tho prevailing weather Is flno and cold.
This entlro region Is, however, subject to
occasional cold waves of great sovorlty
which, with snow and high winds, sweop
southward to Now Mexico and Texas and
sometimes to the Rio (Irnndo and northern
Mexico, causing great losses of stock on tho
great ranges.
Frost Is likely to occur in any part of
the United States In January and about
once In live years severe freezes occur In
tho gulf coast districts and In central nnd
northern Florida.

Deal Will He ronniiiiiiiiiitcil.
COPENHAGEN, Dec. 29 The United
States minister, Mr. Swenson, has Informed
tho Danish government that tho United
States 'offers 12,000,000 kroner for tho Danish
Antilles nnd will not give more.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29. Tho negotiations
between tho government of the United
States and tho government of Denmark has
been In progress, though Intermittently, for
tho last two years. In tho earlier stnges
something was attempted hero through tho
resident minister ut Denmark, Constnntln
Druen, nnd ono Captain Christmas Dirk
feldt, but while, these cffortB laid tho
foundation for what followed In Europe,
they could not bo regarded as successful,
ami nftcr mature consideration, tho State
department decided that Mr. Swcneon, the
United States minister to Denmark, was the
best person to deal with tho case In tho in
terest of this country. Therefore ho was
given full Instructions and somo measure
of authority. Ho had nearly succeeded in
his object last spring, when, through an
Internal change In Denmark, tho minister
of foreign affairs was displaced. Tho now
minister was opposed to tho transfer of
tho islands to the United States nnd a
wave of patriotic feeling swept over tho
country before which tho government was
obliged to yield and tho negotiations wcro
suspended for tho time. Now n change hns
taken place in the public mind of Denmark
and the present minister of foreign affairs
has, It Is believed, reluctantly coino to tho
conclusion that, for financial reasons, It
Is scarcely possible to hold on to tho
Islands. Their export trade, normally done
In largo part with tho United States, has
been greatly depressed nnd though the com
merce might yield sufllclcnt tnxatlon with
unrestrained Intercourse with the United
States to mnko tho iBlnnds self-sustaining,
ut present they nro a drag on Denmark and
tho Danish government Is obliged to mnko
good a considerable delicti on their ac
count. Tho sum named In tho Copenhagen dis
patch ns offered by Minister Swenson, 12.
000,000 kroner, ns tho price to bo paid for
tho Islands, Is roughly equivalent to about
$3,210,000. It is Impossible to learn whether
this Is tho maximum prlco to bo offered.
Purely business reasons would account for
tho omcl.il silence on this point. It Is gath
ered that Mr. Swenson was allowed consid
erable latitude In dealing with the matter,
but It Is Intimated that ho hnB about reached
the end of his abilities on this point.
Of course an acceptance of this proposi
tion by tho Danish government would not
complete tho transaction, Tho transfer can
bo accomplished only under a form of treaty,
which must bo ucceptod by the scnato of the
United States, and In addition, owing to tho
necessity of providing tho money to be paid
for tho Islands, tho houso or representatives
must havo Its say, being called upon to
mako tho necossnry appropriation.
The treaty would undoubtedly consume
much timo in Its consideration, basing tho
belief on tho courso assumed by tho senate
up to this point In passing upon treaties,
and ns scarcely moro than two months re
main with tho present session of congress,
speedy nctlon would bo required on tho part
of the negotiators at Copenhagen In order
that theromay be a rcnsonablo chnnco for
nctlon upoh the treaty before this adjourn
ment. EVERY SALOON CLOSED UP

physical comfort which naturally results in mental quiet and confidence. It
cures nervousness and nausea. It encourages a healthy appetite, and induces
ret resiling slum tier. Tho hour oL maternity comes on without any dread or
shrinking, and the abundant strength and vitality of the mother ensures tho
birth of a healthy, happy child.
As a tonic for nursing mothers, " Favorite Prescription" cannot be excelled
It promotes the nutritive secretions, and so furnishes abundant nourishment for
tho thriving infant. It has a great advantage over many so-called " nourishing1'
fluids which are in effect only stimulants and impart no real "strength to the
mother. "Favorite Prescription " contains no alcohol, and is entirelyfree from
opium, cocaine and all other narcotics. H is a true temperance medicine. When
it is remembered that many a child has received tho first impulse to alcoholism
at tho mother's breast, it should be a matter of especial maternal care to avoid
all alcoholic beverages and so-called "tonics" which aro only stimulants.
Dr. Pierce's Favorito Prescription is essentially a woman's medicine It reg
ulates the periods, stops unhealthy drains, heals intlammation and ulceration and
cures female weakness. It makes weak women strong and sick women well.
Tho dealer who offers a substitute for " Favorito Prescription " does so for
the sake of a little more profit. His profit is your loss in this case. Therefore,
insist upon " Favorito Prescription," the medicine you can rely upon because it
has cured so many other women.
Women suffering from disease in aggravated form are invited to consult
Dr. Pierce by letter free of charge. All correspondence strictly private and
sacredly confidential. Address Dr. R. V. Pikrce, Buffalo, N. Y.

writes Mrs. Victor J. Iladin, of I.eonanlsville, Riley Co.,
Kansas; "can say it is just what you nilvertise it to be, and
can cheerfully recommend it. I began taking it just
two months before I was confined nnd was greatly bene
fited by its use. The doctor who attended mc caul I did
about ns well as anyone he had seen (as I was sick only
about three hours), and also that your l'uvorite Pre
scription ' was one ' patent medicine ' which he did have
faith in.
"We now have a darling baby boy, strong and healthy,

The DM DREANI
Of manv a woman carries her into baby-land. In a
dream sho feels the touch of baby lips the prcssuro
of baby fingers. Then she wakes to tho regret and
heart-ache of the childless woman. Yet that dream
may bo made reality. In a great many instances
women who do not bear children, or whose children
are born so fragile that they quickly fade away, can
bo mado happy mothers by tho use of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. This great medicine for
mothers has performed wonders for a great many
women. Jt acts upon the organs of maternity, giving
them great vigor and elasticity, so that, the- baby
ractically without pain to the
orito Prescription" puts the
"GOT ALONG SPLENDIDLY."
" I wish to add my testimony to hundreds of others ns to
the value of Dr. Pierce's medicines," writes Mrs. Ida M.
De Ford, of Latona, Hubbard Co., Minn, "Have doctored
with n great many physicians some specinlists; have twice
been in hospital for treatment. My case has been regarded
as a hoptless one, nnd they knew not what the trouble was.
Heart was bad; stomach all out of order; tired out; severe
pains in nil parts of the body; sinking spells, and nearly
every ailment a woman could have. I took runny a bottle
of different ' patent medicines ' without effect. I began
taking Dr. Pierce's Pavorite Prescription, and ten months
afterwards I gave birth to u ten-pound boy. All physicians
had stated as n fact that I never could bear a child. Both
the baby and myself were strong, nnd I got along splendidly
thanks to your medicine. 1 do my own work and fee'l
very much encouraged. I wish nil suffering women would
thoroughly try your ' Favorite Prescription.' "
