Deafness Cannot 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-
stltutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamcd you have u rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to It's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by eatarrh, which is nothing but
an iniamed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness lcaused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls CataFrh Cure. Send

VlENNA'S SPIRSTER CLUB.

JUSTICE LAMAR'S HAIR. -
An Anecdate Told by Woman Who as
a Girl EneX the Eminent .Iurist.

An Anecdote Told by Womsn who as
Girl Knew the Eminent Jurist.
The late Justice Lamar did not often
boast of his prowess. There is, how
ever, young lady now prominent in
Washington society to whom as little
girl he revealed one blood-curdling rem
iniscence. He was accustomed to visit
her fathers house and had often noticed
her gazing curiously at his hair, which
he wore very long and fiat to the sides
of his head. One day he said to her:
my dear, you look as if you wan ted
to ask me something. What is it?'
eff you please, Mr.. Lamar she an
swered, ''why do you wear your hair
that way at the sides?"
Lamar drew on his most serious ex-
preston, and, in low, hoarse whis-
per, between his lifted palms, he re-
piled:
Because, my dear, I-once-had-a
ght-with-a-man and hc-cut-
of-my-ears!"
For long time afterward the little
girl was struck with a chill of horror
every time she looked at him, until one
day, in the midst of a gesture, he
swung his hair back far enough to as
sure her that his head was supplied
with its normal complement Of mem
bers. But she never. till the day of his
death. entirely got over the effect made
upon her by the pretended dread secret.

NAUDE DESCRIBED THE FLooRwALKER
they might be a little better, and per
haps not 50 good, so she had decided to
take one pair of each, and the salesgirl
had been diSagreeable about il, and had
said something to another salesgirl
which Maude couldn't hear-a very inn
pudent thing TO do, and it's wonder
that proprietors of stores permit it-but
Maude had insisted on being told what
the girl had said. and the girl at last
had confessed that it was this: The
parting in the back of Sandy McDou-
gals hair runs down behind his shirt
collar. Mr.. McDougall, it appeared,
was another fioorwalker, and not
Che one who had subsequently, de-
frauded Maude; bat, all the same,
st was a wicked falsehood that
the girl told, for Maude was sure that
her remark referred to herself (Maude)
and not to Mr.. McDougall's hair. which
was very handsome hair; and the man
himself looked like a gentleman; and
probably if he had been around later
they never could have treated her so.
However, the girl had insisted that w hat
she said WAS: The parting in the
back -"
'Maude," said !, what has McDou-
gals back hair to do with Your losing
three dollars and two cents?"
Well, it hadn't anything to do with
st, but Maude thought it was q shame
Cor girls to act that way, when they
might rs well be ladyhke and make
everybody respect them, instead of act
ing horrid so that everybody would
hate and despise them. But, anyhow.
she got the stoc Kings she wanted, and
gave the girl five-dollar bill. and she
said at the tune: Now that's 4 five
dollar bill" so that there wouldn't be
any mistake, but when the change
came back it was only two cents. and
the girl insisted that Maude had given
her two-dollar bill, in spite of what
Maude had said, when she knew
perfectly well-that the girl did-alI
the time that il was five, because Maude
had told her when she laid down the
money to examine carefully in order to
perfectly ascertain that it was not a
two. Then Maude had called the floor
walker, and the monkey in vanished
boots had responded instead of the
nice-looking Mr.. McDougall; and then
there WAS lot of trouble which Maude
related in an hour and seven minutes,
but which the reader will be spared.
Suffice it to say that the floorwalker
went after the three dollars, and
neither Of them came back for a long,
long time. while Maude sat boiling
with righteous Indignation, and listen
ing tothe salesgirl who was telling other
salesgirls how 'Maude was trying TO
"do" the shop out Of three dollars.
Finally. the fioorwalker came back
with another man who cross-questioned
the sslesgirl. and made her tell seven

wouldn't admit it,. after which the
