Of captain.
Mr.. j. L. Thornton, Of Sedalia,
was for long while a resident Of
Indiana, and is personal friend of
Bill Nye and the Rev. Myron W. |
Reed, the latter formerly of Indian
opolis and now of Denver, and who is |
quite apply called ''.he Talmage Of
tue West"
Mr.. Reed, who is famous both as a
pulpit orator and as the writer of
many fugitive gems. is described a.
plain-going, familiar. homely kind Of
man, who makes himself on easy
terms with high and low, rich and
poor.
"One Memorial Day. sal Mr..
Thornton TO the Gossiper. "Nye and
Reed were walking arm in arm down
Pennsylvania street, Indianapolis, when
they met a typical old hoosier
farmer. Reed spoke to him and the
result was that the three gentlemen
halted and engaged in conversation,
beginning with the weather as topic.
"lt's going to rain to day." said the
old farmer.
What makes you say that ? .
asked the minister. 1.-The sky is
clear AMI there is every prospect of
fair weather."
Eyes, but it has rained every Ne
mortal day I've ever seen yet, replied
the farmer, "but me and my old wo.
man go over to Crown Hill yonder.
where our boy is buried and we put
flowers on his grave, whether it rains
or not"
"When the war b, oke out we we're
living on the same farm a. now" said
he. Il wanted II shoulder my old
! squirrel rifle and 60 with the boys
. but our son Bill said be wac yOuns
and for me to stay at home and car,
for mother, while be went - the war

: ing. after breakfast, Billie hugget
and kissed US and with his brave blu,
E eyes trimming with tears, left u
!. standing in the old doorway, while b.
!. with bis company disappeared benin,
a distant hill"
1.-TWO weeks afterws:l, We receive,
word that our darling bo
ives iyinO wounded in southern hos
pital. The first thing We did was t

+ 81 don't care" said the old man,
half sobbinz, " if it rains pitchforks
!; my old woman and me intend to keer
|, his grave green. even if We have to
! paint it.
The ludicious ending Of go pathetic
story was more than Reed and Nyes
disabilities could stand, and they
laughed aloud despite themselves.
bill Nye once related this story,
in his inimitab!e way, at a press
club banquet rendered him in Topeka,
ksnsas. some years ago." said NJ.
Thornton, "and there was not q dry
eye in the audience, so happily blend
ed were the pathetic and ridiculo US. :"

Crushed Comedians.

The "lay of the last minstrel of the season was copiously rendered here on Tuesday by pair of youthful peripa- tetic artists in natural black, who, arm ed and equipped with a couple of super annuated guitars, haunted the streets and dispensed melodious misery in 8 manner that imparted to the listener 'that tired feeling' so wildly described in the patent medicine advertisements. The combination consisted O. darkey girl about 12 years of age, and her brother, aged about 1O, both typical plantation pickaninnies, who sang and danced and strummed dismally on their guitars. The boy had mouth like a satchel, feet that stuck out as far behind as they did in front, aswaggering, cake walk strut that showed him to be pat together on the loose, toggle-ioint prin- ciple, and an abnormal development of the bump of inquisitiveness that brought him to grief, as the sequel shows.
 As they approached the residence of Joseph w. Peet, on Main street, the lads attention was attracted to the nickle- plated spout of the yard-hydrant projecting from the lower portion of the house. He stopped short, gazed at it intently for nom ent, slung his guitar across bis back by strap, marched stealthily up to the glittering spout, made closer inspection, turned to his sister and grinned, then put his hand on the bright and shiny vslve-wheel that so irresistibly fascinated him, and began to twist it, all unmindful of the fact that to the mouth-end of the spout was attached line of hose that lay in an innocent looking coil just behind him, with the nozzle pointed directly at him.
 A few turns of the enchanting wheel, however, worked sudden and marvel ous transformation in the aspect of things. The hose began to swell, the coil began to quiver and squirm, and suddenly with hiss and roar, the full water force of 100 pounds pressure to tho square inch from the corporation reservoir exploded from the nozzle, striking the astonishel coon full and squarely in the steerage and sending him headlong in a demoralized heap, where he remained for fully minute kicking and ho wing with terror, while the nozzle played ''Pull for the Shore on his mellow and responsive guitar and his sister jumped hyster1cally uE and down on the sidewalk and screame ed at the top of her lusty lungs.
 Frantically the half-drowned little wretch wriggleI to his feet and scam pered madly down the street, fully con. vinced that the Devil with all his infer nal machinery was in hot pursuit, and the last glimpse of the luckless trouba. dours showed the girl turning the Meth odist church corner, hopelessly behind in headlong chase after the fleeing form of her terrified partner who Wal cnurning his way to York State with vigor and vehemence of motion tha, caused the winds to whistle a disma dirge on the strings of his guitar lik' the despairing vail of 8 lost soul in thu realms of torment.
 Somebody in Judge Roraback's office across the street, who had witnessed tht tragedy, succeeded in suppressing hi disabilities sufficiently to senl littl' boy over to shut off the water in time t, avert freshet that threatened to flood the neighborhood. Y. z.

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have rumbling sound or 1m- perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's 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 mucuous sur- faces.
 We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.
