Deafness Can,tbe 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 con-
stitutional remedies, Deafness Is
caused by an infamed condition of
the mucous lining Of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube gets In.
famed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it
is entirely closed deafness Is the
result, and unless the infiamma-
ton csn 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
infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give one hundred dol
lars for any case of deafness (caus-
ed by catarrh) that we cannot cure
by taking Halls Catarrh Cure.

but the recent visitors to the re.

wherever they go. They noted the

DR.. J. TRIsTRAM and wife left Thurs
terday for Europe to spend the sum-
mer, but the doctor will not perhaps
have the pleasure of visiting his old
home in Germany, as he was sol
der in the German army during the
Franco-Prussian war, enlisted for five
years and after serving three and
getting leave of absence for few
months, came over to this country
and did not return to serve the other
two years, hence he fears that he
might be pressed into service for two
years if he went back.

TURNER SToNEHAM, the colored
school teacher who was reported in
a recent issue of the BANNER to have
skipped for parts unknown with his
wife's sister, and against whom COM
plant was made Friday in Justice
Curry's court, turned up Saturday
and endeavored to get the indict-
ment withdrawn, in which he was
successful. He says the girl is in
Robinson county and is of age and
that he is not responsible for her alb
sence, and that she just happened to
go off on the same train that he did
two weeks ago, but that they didn't
even go to the same place, and that
he had no idea of abandoning his
wife and children.

THE END.
Ancestors of the Phy,ician.

Diseases were supposed i'll ancient
times to be caused directly by the dis
pleasure of the gods, belief that has
not yet disappeared from the minds of
savage tribes. Evil spirits also played
their part, the two beliefs being con
nected more or less intimately. Hence
the intervention OF priests and kings, to
whom attached Ii sacred character, aud
the idea that the latter could cure by a
touch which prevailed until recent
date. The faith i'll the healing principle
presumed to emanate from the royal
person was really part and parcel of the
belief in the divine right OF kings, that
is, their right to rule regardless Of the
wishes of their subjects.
From all these causes came that mkt
ure of superstition, metaphysics and
medicine that characterized the prac-
tice of the healing art in the middle
ages, when doctors wore gowns and a
special form of head covering and talked
indiscriminately law, religion, astrology
and medicine. Astrologers made health
and longevity to depend on the cOnstel-
lations, witches and sOrCerers on occult
causes, and both dealt to a certain ex-
tent in remedies that depended rather on
tradition than on science. From all these
germs, with something Of the druggist
and the barber-who were i'll those old
times more or less connected with medi-
cine-thrOwn in, came the full fiedged
physician OF today.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

An Historic Old Town.

Borgo is an old town about forty miles
from Helsingfors, and certainly the most
characteristic of the small towns of Fin
land. By the side of the old town, with
its quaint, irregular houses and its tortu-
Gus streets, there are square and I'M
picturesque quarters, with houses paint
ed with yellow ocher, and reminding one
by their shape of cigar boxes. Situated
at the mouth of a little river, and prettily
set in frame of hills and ancient forti-
fications, covered with venerable pine
trees, Borgo presents a most curious as
pect.
The old white cathedral; the strange
houses of the old town, painted red.
ocher and orange; the sheds and ware
houses built along the river, with their
foundations in the water itself, and
everywhere in the intervals between
these odd wooden buildings the fresh
greenery of the gardens-such are some
of the features which make this little
town SO characteristic. The cathedral
is a large square monument built of
blocks of granite, whitewashed, and with
pointed gables. The staeple is separate
from the church aG distance Of abont
fifty PAGES. 1t is the type of almost all
our churches of the Catholic era--thGt
is to say, before Gustavus Vasa.
1t was in this church of Borgo that
Alexander in 1909 opened the Finnish
diet, by which he promised to preserve
and to respect forever the religion, the
laws and the Swedish constitution Of the
country, thus, according to his own
words, raising Finland to ap]ace among
nations. ALBERT Edelfalt in Harper's.

az the crowd of country people
When the ticket office opened Nose
and Bill were the first ones to present
themselves, and on being told that the
pass was all right they rushed in and Sc
cured good seats next the ring.
Everybody knows how "one-horse"
circus Is conducted. and this was no bet
ter than the average. The daring bare
back riders" trotted steadily around the
ring; the ring master cracked his whip,
and the clown cracked his jokes Just as
usual, and after all this was over every
one adjourned to the royal "menagerle."
This consisted of a couple of elephants,
a sleepy, toothless old lion, some two
headed cows and other startling freaks.
and last the animal down on the bills as
the ''fierce and untamable grizzly bear
of California"
To Nose, who had elbowed his way to
the rope which separated the animal
from the crowd, the bear was all that the
bills claimed for it, but to an experienced
observer there was an air of helplessness
and old age about it which was borne
out by the sight of his nearly toothless
gums as he caught peanuts and apples
with dexterity born of long practice.
Looking about for Bill, Nose found
that that young gentleman had for
some reason declined to follow him, and
was stationed on the other side of the
rope, making signs to him to give the
biscuit to the bear.
Taking advantage of time when
every body seemed to be looking over to
the other side of the tent, where spir-
tied encounter was going on between
two country youths, Mo- tossed the
biscuit into the bears capacious mouth,
where it instantly disappeared from
view.
The result was somewhat different
from what Nose expected. Instead Of
giving him grateful look for the dainty
tid-bit, the bear stared at him a moment
with look of panied surprise on his
features, and then, with a howl of min
gled rage and pain, broke the rope
which held him, and came down upon
the unfortunate darby like whirlpool.
ooh, LordyI' groaned Nose, whose
kinky hair fairly Strengthened out in his
terror, "Oh, Lo-dy rs done fo', and
he sank in a heap before the enraged
bear.
This act probably saved him from re-
ceiving some severe injuries, for the
bear stumbled over him, heels over head,
and before it had time to get up was
caught by some circus men, who prompt
ly bundled it into cage.
"Wot is it," asked Nose family, as he
slowly rose to his feet.
"My young colored friend" answered
the head Snowman, as he assisted him out
of the tent with the toe of his boot,
"never let me catch you round here
again feeding Cayenne pepper TO my
animals"
Nose received n warm welcome from
Aunt Caroline that night-very warm,
coming as it did right after the applica-
ton of the circus mans toe, but he says
he got some satisfaction out of the
