Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. The™ is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surface.

We will give One Hundred dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, tree,

Almost Pour Score and Still Hale and Hearty.

Mr. W. R. Williams, grandfather of the wife of deputy postmaster Walter Bridges, is a man 77 years old and yet possessing wonderful vitalitj^. He and his estimable wife, with whom he has lived happily for more than half a century, are spending a week in this city among friends and relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Williams haye reared six children, all of whom are now married and comfortably situated.

He was born in Wayne county in 1328, which makes him now 77 years old, yet he states that he is able to walk from Warrington to this city and back in one day and do himself no harm. Three years ago, when there was an old settlers meeting at New Castle, he walked the entire distance from Warrington to the New Castle fair grounds, sixteen miles, in four hours, remained during the entire session of the meeting and then walked home in four hours.

He has been a very successful farmer all his life and declares that if he were to choose an occupation again it would be farming. Including this year he has raised his sixty-seventh crop and has never felt better in his life. He was born in a log house, was married in a log house, never went to school in anything but a log house and three of his children were born in log houses. He has noted all changes that have occurred in his time and has actively participate^ in the progress of the times. He has cut wheat with every implement fromjthe sickle to the self binder, has threshed wheat in every way from the flail and the sheet to the selffeeding threshing machine, and has traveled every way from afoot to the modern electric car.

Mr. Williams talks freely and frankly about the life that never dies. He speaks of death as stepping over the line from a worldof beauty to a world of greater beauty. He has his obituary written and all arrangements made for his funeral.

He is one of the few persons of his age who desire that noth ing black shall be a part of his funeral outfit. His desire is that white crepe hang at his door, a white casket hold his remains and a pair of white horses hitched to a white hearse shall convey his remains to their last resting place.

BOAT

By ELLIS JEROME

"I do not see," declared Burton Ashley, "that the possession of a motor boat necessarily renders me unfit to be Molly's husband." "It's not that," explained the banker, "but what it represents. The man who marries John Lang-don's daughter must be the sort of man who can look after John Langdon's money and not fritter it away on toys." "Scarcely a toy," protested Ashley. "The automobile was regarded as a plaything at first. Now it fills a useful purpose. It will be the same story about motor boats."' "Well," said Langdon, "when you can show me that a motor boat is really useful you may ask Molly's hand again. Meanwhile I repeat that the man who marries my daughter must be able to look after my money." "You do not expect Molly to marry a confidential clerk, you?" demanded Ashley. "Not exactly that," explained Langdon, "but I want her to marry a man who can look after her fortune." "Suppose," suggested Burt, "that you give me Molly and make some other disposition of your funds. I have: enough for two." "You won't have long at this rate," growled Langdon, "spending your fa-! tiler's money for toy boats."

Ashley rose to his feet. "We seem to be arguing in a circle," he said! quietly. "I guess I had bgtter be going. I am to understand that the question may be reopened when I have shown you that a motor boat is of some use." "If you can," retorted. Langdon. "Good morning."

Burt strolled out of the b&nk and up the street. He could not understand Langdon's prejudice. The elder Ashley had left him a comfortable fortune well invested. He contented himself

THE TINY CRAFT TBEMBLED WITH THE HEAVY VIBRATIONS, BUT FOHGED AHEAD.

with looking after these interests and devoted the rest of his time to his automobile and his motor boat.

The boat was the first one on the lake, and to the people in the little town of Avondale it seemed the height of extravagance to have spent several thousand dollars upon the shell-like craft with the high power engines.

That John Langdon, practically the owner of the First National bank, should have shared this belief was inexplicable to Burton. The banker should have had greater breadth.

The week that followed was exceedingly miserable for Burt. He saw but little of Molly Langdon, and those interviews were too -tearful to be pleasant. Molly was a dutiful daughter and would not consent to a marriage without her father's approval, and yet her coaxing was of no avail when she broached the subject to her parent.

To make matters worse, there were rumors that the bank was not altogether Sound. These reports annoyed Molly, who had her father's assurance that the bank was solvent, but he \\#is unable to combat the growing report.

The run came some ten days after Ashley's ^interview. Molly went to the bank one gaoruing to find a long string of-depositors before the paying teller's window and her father pacing the floor of his private office, white and haggard. "Is it very bad?" she whispered as she entered his room. "Bad?" he echoed. "It's ruin unless we can meet this run."

"Haven't you the funds?" "Not in ready money. We cannot keep paying out for more than an hour and a half. We need at least $100,000 more." J^.,, "V 1 "And you cannot get it?" "Not in time. We can get it here by evening, but it is on deposit with the Bank of Trust, and to bring it around the lake by a special train even would require three hours." "And Osange is only eight miles across the lake," mused Molly. "Why not use a boat?" "We telegraphed to Osange, but there is not even a tug, and it would take a tpan hours to row across in this weather."

Molly's face brightened. "Give me

an order for the money," she

cried. of

"Telephone the bank to send the mon- .."Essays on Indian Missions

ev to the steamer wharf, and I'll have it

of an hour."

"Do you mean it?" demanded her father. More than once Molly had extricated him from an embarrassment "I do," she declared. Five minutes later she was speeding out of the bank past the growing line of depositors.

Burton Ashley was waiting for her at the corner with his auto panting at the curb. "Jump in and take me down to the boathouse!" she cricd. "I'll explain on the way down."

As the machine sped over the smooth road she explained the situation to Burt. Osange. where the surplus cash of the First National was on deposit, was eight miles across the lake, but it was ftn eighty mile run by railroad on account of the dip of the lake. T!v* only hope for the First National lay in the motor boat.

It was not long before Burton was ready for the trip, and the trim little craft was speeding across the lake at a twenty mile speed in spite of the choppy waves through which a rowboal: would have labored ponderously.

Burt had all of the power on, and the tiny craft trembled with tbe heavy vibrations, but forged ahead, pushing her way through the rough water as if aware that her own reputation an.0 Burt's happiness depended upon her work. vr*"!

They were met at the Osange wharf by a very much astonished clerk, who was assi^ed by two policemen hi guarding a pile of bags and bundles.

A few words of explanation, the transfer of the receipt and the boat was loaded for the return trip.

It was harder work returning, for there was weight to carry, but Buri forced the boat ahead at full sreed, un mindful of the* occasional wave he shipped. A clock on the rail before •him told him that he was making time, and he forged ahead.

The spectacle of Burt Ashley drawing up to the curb in front of the ban! in his red automobile, accompanied by Molly Langdon, whose trim spring costume was in odd contrast to his water splashed bathing suit, was a sight sufficiently strange to draw from their places in line the more curious of tbe depositors. The sight of the bundles of coin and bills being carried into the bank was still more efficacious in suppressing tbe run, and twenty minuics later the bank was empty save for the occasional depositor.

In the president's room Burt sat in one of the leather chairs. "And that was how it was done," he concluded, "twenty-four minutes going, twentyeight for the return trip and the rest of the time was on the road or spent in stowing the cash."

Jotm Langdon rose awkwardly from his chair. "I think June is a good month for weddings," he said irrelevantly.

Burt and Molly agreed with him.

How People Bothered Owen.

Owen was known to all circles pos sessing the slightest tincture of science as the man who could reconstruct an entire extinct animal if you gave him the fragment of a fossil tooth. The public would not buy his books, but they showed their appreciation of his genius in various simple minded fashions. All reports about the sea serpent were referred to him for examination.

People who fancied that they had found live toads imbedded in rock or coal wrote to ask him what he thought of it. One day, just as he was setting out to keep a dinner engagement, he was detained for half an hour by a note from a stranger wanting to know whether something he had found in a sausage was or was not the tooth of a dog and requesting an Immediate answer. To the credit of the sausage vender it proved to be the tooth of a sucking pig.

On another occasion, Earl Russell, having received as a present from President Grant what purported to be a bear ham, sent the bone for examination to Owen. One is sorry to hear that the great anatomist at once pronounced it to be the ham bone of an .ordinary pig.—London Academy.

His Modest Epitaph.

There are those who take the precaution to buy their own monuments and tombstones and write their antemortem epitaphs. What special comfort they can get out of this is not clear, but that is their business. We recall, for instance, a true story o£ a fellow who had been found guilty of a very cruel murder in one of the Connecticut towns and was sentenced to die on the gallows. A few days before his execution his lawyer called at the cell and asked if there was anything the condemned would like him to have done in. postmortem arrangements. The man said that he would leave with the 'lawyer a sum sufficient for the purchase of a plain stone to be erected at the head of the grave and bearing the simple inscription: "Sacred to the memory of -—. Died (name and date we omit). Of such is the kingdom of heaven."—Buffalo Commercial.

Loss of Caste.

IN the year 1766 Lord Clive and 6Mr. Verelst employed the whole Influence of the English government to restore a Hindoo to-his caste who had forfeited it, not by any neglect of his own, but by having been compelled by a most unpardonable act of violence to swallow a drop of cow broth.

The Brahmans, from the peculiar circumstances of the case, were very anxious to comply with the wishes of' the government. The principal men among them met at Kishnagur and once at Calcutta, but after consultations and an examination of their most ancient records they declared to Lord Clive that there was no precedent to justify the act. They found It impossible to restore the unfortunate man to his caste, jand he died soon after

a broken^ heart.—Sydney Smith'?
