HOW SHE FRIED THEM.
lvory's Mother Always Cooked His Suckers
the One Way.


the One Way.
Ivory Brown was about sixteen years
of age. the oldest of several children,
and, as his father was what is common
" called "shiftless," Ivory had to do
pretty good part of supporting the fam
ily. About mile from home little
brook emptied into the pond, and up the
brook in tho spring multitudes of the
fish called suckers came for the purpose
of spawning. Thither at night fiocked
all the boys of the vicinity to spear
suckers by torchlight.
The time OF suckers ives season OF
feasting for Ivory, and every evening he
was to be found at the brook welding
his spear with great skill, while one of
his brothers gathered the fish into
basket
AS Ivory was so constant fisherman,
some of the boys suspected that his fam
lily must pretty nearly live on suckers
alone, and one night Sam Wilson jok-
in civ asked the lad how he liked them.
Ivory declared them very good, but
admitted that he was getting tride
tired of them as a steady diet
ssBesides," he added, "marm alters
cooks 'em jest the same old way
Being asked what the same old way
was, he replied: 20, she alters biles
EN-
Thereupon some of the boys explained
that suckers were usually cooked by
frying, and advised Ivory TO get his
mother to try that method.
Ivory declared that he would have
some fried from the very next mess he
took home, and was delighted at the
prospect of change in his fishy fare.
The next evening, therefore, the boys
gathered about Ivory to learn the result
of his experiment.
At first he seemed unwilling to tell.
but when urged little he exclaimed in
a tone of disgust: II don't see that fried
suckers taste much different from what
billed suckers does"
A shout went up from the boys, and
one of them asked: How'd yer mother

Deafness Can't Be 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 inilamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have rumblng
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 will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give Ono Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by Catarrhl that
we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh

ing is one of the worst evils into which man

makes no difference to us whether Mahomet

when he was sick he took cod liver oil or the
