rrom Scrlbner's.
Not long ago there stood before the
paying teller's window of one of New
Yotk's big banks an unctuous little Is
raelite, smiling blandly over a $100
check. Signature, Indorsement and
every detail wero correct. To make as
surance doubly sine, the littlo Jew ex
plained with some insistence, "You see
I have had my Indorsement certified."
The check was paid without hesita
tion, but tho teller said to himself,
"Why Is that idiot standing there with
such a bicxad grin, trying to fix his face
on my memory?" and duly he took
note.
A few days later the man appeared
at the window again, his countenance
distended In tho same smile, with fin
other check from the same lhm, tho
indorsement was certified In oxaetiy the
same way and this time the amount
was $900. There was absolutely noth
inr wrong with the check on its face,
and it came from a well-known custo
mer of tho bank.
"In spite of all," said the paying tel
ler, "something told me that fellow was
a crook. So I said I should have to
look up the account before It could bo
paid, nnd while ho waited I slipped
around to the Aim's office, which was
only a short distance away. The check
was examined and pronounced erfect
ly good, nnd I was about to wnllc away
when tho head of tho firm aaid, 'Why,
hold up. AVe've issued no checks this
morning.' And then I went back nnd
bagged my crook, He had first sold the
firm a bond and got his original $100
check in payment. This ho had used to
imitate tho Aim's signature on tho sec
ond, and likewise to impress mo with
tho fact that ho was all right, so that
when ho came around' a second time I
would not bother him."

ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD.
A NEW DISCOVERY WHICH IS WORTH
THAT MUCH.
To Anvonc Afflicted with Piles.
Tho Pyramid rilo Cure, tho new
painless remedy which has been so re
markably successful in curing cveiy
form of piles nnd rectal diseases, has
recently been placed on sale at drug
gists and It is safe to say that when
Its extraordinary merit becomes ful
ly known, there will be no such thing
as surgical operations for the euro of
this obstinate and common trouble.
Blrs. BI. C Hlnkly of C01 Bltsslssippl
St., Indianapolis, Indi, says: I had
been n terrible sufferer from the piles
for 15 years and no remedies bene
fitted me, until I saw an advertisement
of the Pyramid Pile Cure; I got a
package, also a package of tho Pyra
mid Pills and used both according to
directions. I was nstonlshcd at tho
immediate tellef obtained and now I
honestly believe tho Pyramid to bo tho
only certain cure for piles.
That you may lellze how bad I was,
I will say that I was confined to my
bod and went before tho college physi
cians hero who said my case was a
new one to them and wnntcd seven or
eight hundred dollars to undertake to
curejthe great pain hnd brought on a
rupture, and I knew an operation
would be death to me on account of
blood poisoning. Neatly everyone hero
knows of my tcrtlble suffering from
piles and I feel that I cannot praise
the Pj ramid Pile Cure enough and the
Pyramid Pills also. BIy husband will
Join me in highly lecommendlng the
Pyramid, my daughter was cured by
one box only For several years I
weighed but about 90 pounds, now I
weigh 150 and feel inn perfect health.
This seems to be the universal testi
mony of every sulferer from piles who
have ever tried tho Pyramid; it is the
safest, most painless pile euro yet dis
covered; contains no opiate, morphine,
cocaine or any poisonous Ingredient
whatever, has a soothing, healing ef
fect from the first application, and tho
moderate price places it within tho
reach of everyone needing treatment.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by drug
gists at 50 cents and $1.00 per package
and .tho Pyramid Pills at 23 cents per
box.

El'ISOUK AT THE TREASURY.
Distinguished Caller Who Failed to
Impress tho l'riwito Srcrctaiv.
A well-dressed, distinguished-looking
.gentleman, with an air of business,
but noticeably a disinclination to In
titule upon nny one's ptlvacy or for a
moment disturb tho methodical opera
tion of Uncle Sam's financial institu
tion, entered tho Treasury building yes
terday, says the AVashington Post. By
Inqulty of a watchman he leadlly
found his way to the anteroom of the
scictary. Two or three oth'r cullers
were there, and the new-comer paused
unnoticed. The private secretary, ab
roibed In thought, gave him no greet
ing; in fact, baiely glanced at him.
Picsently the silence was broken.
' Blay I see Secretary Gage?" In
quit ed the unnoticed visitor, in polite,
businesslike manner.
' No; It's Impossible. Can't see him.
Ho Is busy and must not be disturbed."
Tho private secretary apparently
took no interest in tho identity of the
caller.nnd thera was a ceitain brusque
ness of tont that emphasized the im
possibility of disturbing his chief.
Another pause ensued.
Tho private secretary was again ab
soibed in dei'p thought.
"Blav I trouble jou to hand BIr.
Gnge my enrd when he Is at leisure,"
interrupted the visitor, most politely.
"Certainly, sir," said the private sec
retary, taking the card, but not look
ing at it.
TL teupon the well-dressed, distinguished-looking
gentleman made his
o:.lt. If his temper was In the slight
est degree, neither his face nor his
manner betrayed It.
After he had gone It occurred to the
piivato secretary to look at the card.
He picked it up and started as he

Then the private secretary onco more
became absotli'd In thought a train
of thought, however, wholly unlike

If the donations of useful and cum
bersome nttlcles, which has already

length of time, says tho AA'ashlngton
Post, the president wll have to ask

an addition to the AVhlto IIouso to store
them in. He now has a big dog, a mo

celved a long w ooden cable chain w 1th

out of pine and presented as a token of

is) particularly desirous that tho Im
pression shall not get abroad that tho
president is a dog fancier. Ho explains
that tho president's lovo for the cnnlno
race is easily satisfied with ono speci
men, nnd BIoscovv, who weighs nearly
150 pounds, entirely litis the Chief Kx
ecutlve's longing in that direction. BIr.
Porter has been trembling in his boots
ever since the nrrlval of BIoscovv, for
fear that other owners of fine animals
undertake to emulate the donor of tho
St. Bernard, nnd tho AVhlto House lot
bo turned into a soit of canine mena
gerie of terrieis, hounds, pugs, and
bull pups, rivaling the famous aggrega
tion owned by President Grant.
Tho boat model was presented by
ex-Governor Plnchback, of Louisiana,
nnd a delegation, Including Stato Sena

colored cabinetmaker named. Samuel

very creditable evldenco of his skill. It
Is about four feet over all, and was
brought up to the AVhlto House In a
glass caso by four statwart colored
men. Although the donor expressly
stated in his letter accompanying the
gift, that he is not a candldato for
oltlce secietary Porter feels that the
administration has no pressing need
for any more boats, and is also desir

wide publicity as possible.

dozen ror hooks fitted up. The stand
aid tarpon hook is four inches in
length. Some tarpon fishermen pre
fer to mount their own hooks. They
have ideas of their own as to the best
way and the best materials. A swivel
is alvvajs used Some ot tho hooks
that nte sold llltted up have snells of
German silver chain. Sometimes laces
of lavvhlde or pot poise skins nre used
for snells. Somo hooks are fitted with
snells of piano wire two feet long,
made in three lengths of eight inches
each, linked, to prevent kinking. Fit
ted up taipoon hooks that ate sold at
$7 a dozen nre provided with thirty
six inch braided or plaited linen snells,
wound for two thirds of their length
from the upper end downward, with
copper wire. Tho tarpon swallows
tho hook and its teeth are brought up
on tho snell where It is protected by
tho copper wire. Sometimes a shaik
takes the bait. It is desired to lose the
shark without tiouble of hauling it in
and casting It off, and the shark Is
likely to free itself by biting through
tho unprotected lower third of the
snell.
AVhllo the tarpon hook is the costli
est of hooks there nro ilys that sell for
more; there are some salmon ilys that
retail as high as $9 a dozen.
