Except the Country Youth with HIS Loud
Smelling Burden.
1t was at the outer end of the Fiji
teenth Street line late yesterday after
noon, Just when the business from the
Independent dummy line was at its
best, that a lank, hungry-looking coun-
try youth with a bundle under his arm
got aboard the car. He edged his way
through the crowd of passengers, and as
gentleman got up to leave the car the
young countryman slid into the vacant
seat. He brought his bundle around on
his lap. where he held it carefully with
both hands.
At the moment the young man got on
the car every body noticed a dreadful
smell. Few noticed the young man,
and every passenger turned to the next
person, and, with look as disdainful as
turned-up nose could produce, moved
as far away as the crowded condition OF
the car would permit Orc little man
turned to his neighbO a fat, puffy-loOk-
ing old fellow, and, with a look full OF
meaning, drew his coat about him, and,
holding his nose, edged off foot or two.

little fellow a moment and then blurted
out:
''Lookahere, you ant insinuatin' that

and the big fellow grumbled and got of

noses, and the polish on the stove began
to slowly crack and peel off. Then

in the car became so dense that you
couldn't hear the bell two feet away
when the conductor rang up fare.

Deafness Can't ne Cured

BY local applications. as they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear There is
only one way TO cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an Intiamed condition OF the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it Is
entirely closed Deafness Is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing viii be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inlamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
