A MAN CANT WORK When Ho Is Suffering With Piles. Can't Kat, Mcep, Can't Get Comfort Any Way but Onr-I'yranil.l Pile Cnre Will Cure Hlmt Give Instant Relief.

. J t little pain may o distract a man's life that It -wilt coat him hundreds of dollars. Uto Is a battle. To succeed one needs all his energies and all his brain force to apply to the question at hand. Even a corn will make him irritable, cross, angry and an angry man seldom succeeds. The trifling pain of a corn is a pleasant feeling beside the agonUIng ache cf piles. That is a pain which Feems to pervade the whole body. It communicates Itself to all parts near the eat of th trouble and brings on a heavy dragging feelln? in the perineum. Those wh) do not so suffer do not know what it means. It racks the nerves, prevents sleep, prevents concentrated thought and makr-s a man lose flesh as fast as he 'would -with a virulent fever. And yet plies are looked upon as a little thing. They arc neglectedallowed to run oa from month to month and lrom year to year. By and by comes a surgical operation. Maybe it cures maybe it kills. There is only one sure?, safe and quick cure for piles. It is the Pyramid Pile Cure. It 13 a recent discovery and Its properties are such that it cleanses, soothes and heals the inflamed rarts, reduces the inflammation at once and with continued treatment, removes all swelling and all trace of disease. It puts the membranes In a healthy active condition . and cures completely and permanently. From C. F. Collins, Garnett: "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 package I began to feel much better and I can honestly say I am entirely cured. It Is the quickest and surest remedy I have ever heard of." From Joslah Roberts. Port Oram. N. J.: "Just one-quarter of a package of the Pyramid Pllo Cure did wonders for me and I have lost no opportunity of recommending such a wonderful remedy." From Win. McIIale. Rockport. Mass.: "One package of Pyramid Pile Cure has helped me more than anything I have yet used " Pyramid Pile Cure Is sold by druggists prenerally.

"Most confidence games are very transparent." said an old detective officer, "and -1 frequently hear surprise expressed that anybody Is deceived by them. A little study of human nature makes the matter clear. Jt is cary, as a rule, to make a man believe either what he wants to believe or what he doesn't want to believe. In one case his hopes are played upon, in the other his fears. The bunko man takes the former tack and the blackmailer the latter. They show their victims 8hort cuts to fortune and jhort cuts to disgrace. Another thing I have observed: A very bright man or a very stupid man is rarely caught by swindlers. The clever fellow sees through the scheme and promptly declines to have anything to do with it. The thick-headed chap knows he is a fool, and has no confidence in his own .ludgmcnt. Tho result is that he is suspicions of anything new or strange, and the more plausible the bait presented the less likely he is to take it. The people who are generally caught are the half-way smart folks, who think they know It all. They are Intolerant of advice, rely Jmpliclty on their p own opinion, and won't believe they are being victimized until the trick Is turned. It's mighty dangerous to be half-way smart. Man named Pope said the same thing, did you say? Who was he a detective? Well, .whoever he was, he knew what he was talking about." Too Modest. Washington Post. A certain very estimable Washington dame I don't mean to be dlwtgreeable: she really is eminently likeable in spite of her glaring virtues met Robert Stuart Plggott at the after-the-opera musicale at which he rang one evening last week, and she was pierced to be very gracious. ' "Oh, Mr. Plggott," she said, across the room, just as he finished singing his own setting of "The Vampire," "how prettily you sing that. What do you call your voice?" "I call it barytone." was the answer. "Barytone!" she echoed. "Oh. you're too modest about it. Barytone! Why, It's ever so much better than that." Two Accidents. "Do you think it proper," said the man who was trying to keep his temper, "to laugh at a man who slips on a banana, peel by accident?"

INTENSE SUFFERING FROM DYSPEPSIA AND STOMACH TROUBLE Instantly Relieved and Permanently Cured toy Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. A Nevr Discovery, bat Not Sledlclne. u ratent Dr. Redwell relates an Interesting account of what he considers a remarkable cure of acute stomach trouble and chronic dyspepeU by the use of the new discovery, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. lie says: "The patient was a man who had suffered to my knowledge, for years with dyspepsia. Everything he ate seemed to sour and create gases In the stomach; he had pains like rheumatism In the back, shoulder blades and limbs, fullness and distress after eating, poor appetite and loss of flesh; the heart became affected, causing palpitation and sleeplessness at night. "1 gave him powerful nerve tonics and blood remedies, but to no purpose. As an experiment I finally bought a uO-cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at a drug aiore and gave them to him. Almost Immediate relief was given and after he had used four boxes he was to all appearances, fully cured. "There was no more acidity or sour watery risings, no bloating after meals, the appetite was vigorous and he has gained between ten and twelve pounds in weight of solid, healthy flesh. "Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are auvertteed and sold In drug stores, yet I consider them a most valuable addition to any physician's line of remedies, as they are perfectly harmless and can be given to chil-ir.-!i or invalids or in any condition of the stomach with prfrct tafety. being harmless and containing nothing but fruit and vegetable essences. jmt pepsin and Goiden Geal vithout any question they are the safest, xnot effective cure for indigestion, bilious-n-v constipation and ail derangements of th stomach, however slight or severe."

TWO OUTLAW QUEENS

JIOLLIE 3IATIIES MH' It II ED HER "WORSHIPERS OX TO I2VIL DEEDS. Emma Ilendrlckson Stood Over Her Bandit Father's Body and FnuRlit Ills Slayers Intll She Fell. 6t. Louis Post-Dispatch. Mollie Mathes is the queen of one of the most notorious hands of outlaws that ever infested Kansas a gang which robbed, pllagfd, made counterfeit money and did foul murder when It suitfd the purpose of the members. Never was there a craftier set of criminals and never was there a cooler woman in case of emergency than Mollie Mathes. They had been operating In Kansas for years, and might have operated for years to come had It not been for the Inevitable tale-bearer, the member who weakened under his load of crime. lie is in The penitentiary. Like Kipling's "Pad Delilah." he told. The arrest of the ethers followed. Mollie Mathes is an anomaly. Her husband, ono of the leaders of the gang, is a tall, uncouth Westerner, daring and fearless, of that type of virility which has to great a charm lor wemen. She is not refined could not be In the very nature of things but the is crafty, tactful and courageous and furnished the brains for her red-handed associates. It is claimed that she plotted and designed the murders while her husband and his followers executed the plans. Little is known of her past history. To the sheriff and jailer at Wichita, Kan., where she is now in custody, she is known simply as Mrs. Mattle Mathes. She is a haughty prisoner and refuses to tell anything concerning the doings of the MathesAlgood gang, with Whoso members robbery seems to have been a pastime and murder a science. Mollie Mathes is tall and comely. Her eyes are blue and searching, shrewd and cunning. Her whole face Is that of a woman who wills and does and is able to make others do for her sake, even to the extent of foulest crime. Her personality is unique. She Is masculine in her bravery, feminine in her love for finery. She rode horses like a cowboy and shot a rifle like a veteran bear hunter. She could handle a pistol better than the best duelist In Europe, and she has ideas about firearms which few women would ever have entertained. She preferred a pistol of blue steel to one of nickel-plate, because the brighter revolver could not be used at night without giving a flash of warning. She liked a pistol of single action because there was no chance for a man to slip his ttnger behind the trigger guard and render the weapon powerless. Mollie Mathes was proud of her long black hair and vain of her strong, supple limbs and her small hands and feet. She was vain, too, of her power over men. Her realm was small, but never did courtiers bow more humbly at the throne of Queen Bess than these rough men, these outlaws, at the feet of Mollie Mathes. She ruled by force of singleness of purpose and superiority of mind. She was the idol of her husband and the queen of his followers. Sometimes Mollie Mathes visited her relatives in St. Louis and Chicago. Just who these relatives are and In what section of the two cities they reside is not known. She was too wise ever to let anybody know her whereabouts while away from Kansas, or to have scattered about any letters or papers which might furnish a clew. It is belieed that these periodical trips to the city were made not for recreation so much as for opportunity to distribute the cleverly made counterfeit money which her husband's gang turned out without stint, for her benefit. Secret service men have traced to the Mathes-Algood gang the origin" of much of the spurious coin which has flooded the West for six or seven years. The gang made no attempt, to make paper money. Silver dollars, halves and quarters limited their efforts as makers of bogus coin. They were skillful,' Industrious, and Mrs. Mathes was nevr questioned when she bought articles and offered the bad money in payment. If any merchant doubted for an Instant that the money was not genuine, his doubts banished when he saw the innocent-appearing and good-looking gentlewoman who had given it to him. She threw off suspicion by her deliberate manners. She kept cool under all circumstances. She never lost her nerve. The dee is of the Mathes-Algnod gang were brought to light by the confession of one of the band, who Is now in the Wichita penitentiary 'serving a sentence for horse stealii g. lie has given to the officers material with which they expect to prove that In the last two years the gang has made way with no less than four lives and stolen hundreds of dollars. They also expect to prove the gang guilty of the murder of two detectives who were sent to work up a case against the lawless gang several years ago. Furthermore, the detectives expect to prove that these cronies were prompted and directed by a woman this same haughty, taciturn and tactful Mollie Mathes. who pleads innocence and poses as a cook in spite of the fact that her method of crime Is known. That she could not have been acquainted with the character of the men with whom she dealt, the officers claim, is impossible. That she ever cooked for them a minute, they say, la highly improbable. Mollie Mathes was not the woman to slave for a gang of alleged farmers when they were pillaging the country and making counterfeit money for the purpose of providing her with the finery she craved. These Kansas officers expect to prove that Mollie Mathes is as much of a savage at heart as was Kate Pender, who beat to death the victims her old father had lured to their murderous home. But they expect ai?o to prove that Mollie Mathes did her work scientifically and intelligently not that she performed the actual deed of murder, but that she planned the crimes, helped manufacture evidence and create situations which would later reflect upon Innocent personsas they did upon his wife and a man named Dobbs when they killed Joseph New and gave directions how the final work should be done. For this crime Mrs. New and Dobbs are now serving life sentences in the Kansas penitentiary. Kansas officials now believe that the Mathes-Algood gang killed New and fastened the crime upon these two persons'. One of the strongest bits of testimony upen which the couple was convicted was that Dobbs frequently visited Mrs. New and that his shotgun was found with both barrels discharged. Dobbs's children, by whom he declared he could prove an alibi, were not permitted to testify. Every effort is now being made by Kansas officers to secure a confession from one or more of the nine members of the gang now In custody. These are: At Wichita. Mollie Mathes and her husband and Herbert and Willis Simpson; at Tola. Frank Algood; at Lansing. In the penitentiary. Ahin Pallard and two others, names not given; at Nickerson, Bill Turner, who, according to Ballard's statement, was Algood's partner in the killing of Joseph New. Herbert Simpson is young and effeminate in character and the officers believe that he will soon break down. The other members of the gang are stubborn and will say but little or nothing. Mollie Mathes holds her tongue with as firm a grip as she ever held the men who were under her control. The State of Kansas may dry up and blow away, but she will never confess. MISSOl'lll'S II AM) IT QIE EX. Emma Heiidrlcknnn, Lender of a Notorious Gang: of Criinlunls. St. Louis Post Dispatch. Emma Ilendrlckson, of Missouri, is an outlaw queen; a leader of men who burn and rob, pillage, terrify communities, defy the law and shoot down officers. Most remarkable is the record of this girl of eighteen, who stood ever the dead body of her outlaw father and poured bullets into her adversaries like a fell demon until she dropped exhausted with a wound In her breast. The fight occurred last Sunday morning nc.ir Dexter, in Stoddard county, one of the richest sections of southwest Missouri. Emma Ilendrlckson is not beautiful: she is not even pretty. She was raised in the country and has but little education. She has never aspired to the higher ideals of life. She was roughly raised and was used to the ways of rough men. The life of her old father, Charles Ilendrlckson. was perhaps not above suspicion. A year ago In Franklin county, southwest of St. Ixuls, he organized a gang of robbers horse and cattle thieves. What his antecedents were, where he came from, nobody knew. He needed a lieutenant, and in his only daughter he found one with brains and nerves worthy of a better cause than thieving by night. The fcatg fourd a fruitful field of operation In that county, and it was not long btfore they commenced to prosper. At first the gang was only cattle thieves.

Cattle and horses disappeared from the rich farms of Franklin county with a regularity that Indicated the presence In the community of professionals in the business of breaking into barns and driving stock away from pastures. In the course of months the gang became known, to the extent that the names of Ilendrlckson and his daring daughter were learned; but of their former lifenothing. Emma, queenly of appearance, if not In conversation, rode with the band, shared misfortunes and their spoils; soothed their pains as only a woman can. spurred them Into deeds of daring, if not heroism, by her own example. She counseled them and chlded them; mocked at show of timidity and applauded with appearing smile feats performed in the face of danger. Emma's personality attracted many a wayward youth, who. without her in his life, might nave returned to the path of rectitude. Kmma was an excellent recruiting officer for the hand. So successful was she in this that her very success proved the undoing of the gang In the chosen fields of their early operations. Franklin county becam a place unsafe for Emma and the gang. They split up into squads and couples to leave that section of the State and meet at a designated spot. where they were unknown and where new and fertile fields for plunder lay. The new scene of operations was well chosen, for the country wa rich. The character of the gang soon became known to the people and the authorities. Farmers were constantly on the lookout. Manv short, but sharp, engagements ensued, all at night, but nobody was injured. Still, the gang was driven from cover to cover, and throughout the country it became known that they were "wanted" by the authorities. Nobody dared resist them single-handed or even in small numbers, for there were too many of them. Yet everybody prophesied the time when old man Hendrickson's gang would be broken up by the strong arm of the law and his daring daughter brought to grief. Several times the sheriff of Stoddard county and his deputies did battle with the outlaws but nobody was hurt and no captures effected. Emma was always with her father. She made friends even with some of the law-abiding people, so skillful was she in the art of winning admiration. If not approbation. These friends sheltered her and the gang and made the unaided efforts of the officers futile and roused Sheriff Evans to begin a more comprehensive plan of action against the gang. On Saturday, March 25. the sheriff learned that Emma and tho gang were camping In an isolated house a few miles from Dexter. He raised a posse of citizens, swore them in as deputies, and rode out of Bloomfield. the county seat, at the head of a score of armed men to storm the stronghold of the outlaws. Early Sunday morning, while the shadows of the hills still lay across the snow-covered clearing where stood the house in which the outlaws were fortified, the sheriff and his men came upon the scene where was to be fought the battle. The sheriff did not ride out into the open nor did his men. Not they! The Ilendrlckson gang was too desperate to rermlt such a procedure. Nor did they march in military formation to the edge of the timber and tire volleys, or send out an emissary under a truce. Posses do not fight that way. Rifles began to bark from the windows and from loopholes in the house. They were answered from behind trees and a rail fence that zigzagged around the clearing. Bullets crashed through windows and burled themselves in the logs of the old house. Other leaden missiles clipped boughs off saplings and mado the sheriffs men hug shelter more closely. This desultory firing contlnied for an hour or more without casualties or results. The sheriff passed word around for his force to scatter still mere and surround the house. This maneuver was perceived by the outlaws. To be surrounded meant certain defeat. There were but nine of them. These could not hold tho fort against twenty. Then Emma's daring asserted Itself. She called upon her father and his men to follow her In a body and fight their way to liberty. Before the sheriff's men could execute his order the door of the cabin was thrown opei and Emma dashed out, rifle in hand, the gang at her heels. She dropped on one knee, her rifle went to her shoulder, and she fired the first shot of the sortie into the sheriff's men, who started to rush forward when they perceived the new tactics of the outlaws. Two hundred yards or more intervened between the combatants. The outlaws' bullets went so nearly true that the sheriff's men retreated a few paces and took shelter again. Emma, by her father's side, was in the outlaw van. All were firing at the posse's cover and running a bit oblique of that position for a cut in the fence. Answering Mashes came from behind the fence where lay the sheriff's men. Scarcely half the space to the cut In the fence had been covered when old man Ilendrlckson uttered a cry. His arms shot skyward, his rille dropped, he stumbled and plunged face downward into the snow. In an Instant he was dead. The outlaws seemed panic-stricken by the fall of their leader. They ceased firing, scattered and ran like deer. All but one Emma. She was at the old man's side when he fell. There she stayed. She shouted at her followers, called them cowards and appealed to them, all In a breath. But her power over them was gone. Fear was their master. Alone, deserted, she knelt by her father's side. She raised his rifle again and commenced to shoot. Bullets fell all around her. She only shot the faster. One time her rifle counted. Deputy Sheriff C. B. Booth dropped with a bullet in his breast. That was Emma's last shot. In the next Instant she pitched forward across the corpse she would not leave and the blood of the daughter mingled with that of the father In the snow. The sheriff and his men advanced. Emma could not fight them longer. She was wounded in the left breast. The old man was dead. bullet had pierced his brain. Emma could not speak, but her eyes shot darts of vengeance and defiance at the officers. She was carried to the nearest farmhouse and later taken to Bloomfield, the county seat. Two of Hendrlckson's men were captured In tho woods. They are lodged in the same jail where Emma lies in pain, expected to die. She has nothing but scorn and contempt for them. The Next Morning Life. "How do vou feel after last night?" "Rocky. How do you?" "Fair. Wife awake?" "Yes. Yours?" "Yes." "Mad?" "Wild. Yours?" "Don't mention It." "I don't know that It pays, after all." ":or I." "Up late. Too many cigars nothing In it." "That's so. At rare Intervals all right, but a constant thing never!" "Right. Great Jackpot." "The last one? Yes. Say, why didn't you call me In that first round?" "You had me beat all right." "I had only two small pair." "That was enough." "I must be getting to the office." "Me too. Coming again to-night?" "Yes I guess so."

There are plenty of mere stimulatine preparations lareelv composed of alcohol, which give a false and temporary exhilaration followed by relapse, but Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discover)' is a true and radical remedy.
