Deafness Can Not 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 infiamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube gets intlanled 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 nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; uine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces

In n old library ofkhe south where
lettefs and papers have been slowed
away for two centuries has been un.
earthed strange story; nothing more
nor less than the love-life Of John
Wesley in Georgia. 1t is strange
history of passion, of self-searchings,
of the tyranny of the early religious
conscience, of sorrow and resolve.
Wesley, the preacher, the missionary,
the fount fer Of church, and the last
man from whose breast one would
have expected to wrench such a secret
and yet, when all's told, it presents
his character in no light new OF unfa.
miliar.
This is the tale. When James Og
lethrope sailed westward to become
governor Of a colony peopled with con
victs and the fotsam and jetsam of
the London work houses, he took John
Wesley with him as civilizing infiu-
ence. Wesley was then young man
Of brilliant parts, a fellow of Lincoln
College, Oxford on $500 year; hand
some pure Quixotic. His brother,
Charles Wesley was the governors
secretary.
The ship was delayed by storms
and the passengers We're thrown upon
their own resources for entertainment.
The most interesting person on board
SO far as John Wesley was concerned,
was Miss Sophie Canston, niece of
one of the fortunate hunters whom
Oglethrope had Undue ed to follow him
to the New World. This was not only
because women were few Oh board the
colonial vessel, but because this young
woman was extremely attractive.
She was beautiful. She was highly
educated. She sang with voice that
fascinated him. And, most potent of
all, she listened with fattering inter
est to his preaching. The two be
came friends. She sang Charles Yves
ley's Psalms with him, and listened to
all he had to say about experimental
religion. Gov. Oglethrope was well
pleased with the turn affairs were
taking and using every means to
throw the young people together.
The Romance Begins.
One day a terrific storm arose. The
masts were broken. Everybody be.
gan to pray. The Germans on board
sang solemnly on while the waves
were beating at the ship as if to tear
it to pieces. Then it was that John
Wesley cried out in an agony of doubt

John Wesley In Old Age.
together to the love feasts in the even
ing. One can see the tall, 1.-THE figure
of Wesley, priest-robed, classic-faced,
thrilled with first, strange, human
love.
But he was the very last person to
see himself in the situation. He kept
himself quite busy, built a parsonage,
in which lived in the stern, pleasure
less, methodical way which after
wards gave a name to his religion; and
he rendered up the account of his
meager expenses to the honora BILE
trustees of Georgia. He visited Fred
RIGA often to preach to the settlers
there. He studied the Indian Ian
guage still in hopes of going among
them: At times he slept upon the
ground, and when morning came dis
covered his clothes to have frozen to
the earth, as well as his long, album
dant hair. Once he was nearly drown
ed in the icy river while attempting
to cross, but these were the ordinary
experiences of early missionaries.
Discovers His Love for Sophia.
But now came the crisis of the hui
man side of the story. Oglethrope de-
termined to hasten matters between
Wesley and Miss Canston. According
ly he made a dinner at his own house
and Grimaldi, his foreign servant,
tempered with the Cypress wine, but
whether by the generals direction or
not was never quite clear to Mr.. Wes-
ley.
In the evening Sophia Canston was
there. and the general had her sing
for them, some old love songs of Eng
land and Scotland and snatches from
the operas of London. She danced,
too, and recited and completely over
whelmed the pious youth with her
beauty and accomplishments. @
That night under the palmetto trees
near the governors house, with the
dark-eyed handsome girl beside him,
and with her enhancing voice in his
ears; with the Cypress wine, and
Grimaldi's decoction hot in his blood,
John Wesley became aware that he
loved her.
The revelation was a shock to him,
for he had been preaching celibacy
since lie was small boy. He had felt.
himself welded to the church, to his
great faith and mission in life. The
strife of spirit threw him into few
.r.
Miss Canston did the only thing that
young lady in her state. of mind
could do. She nursed him, and he al
owed her to. This circumstance was
sufficient proof to their friends, that
marriage was certain. If more proof
were needed, he raved of her in his
delirium. Miss Canston brought her
aunt to hear him, and between them
marry Sophia. He asked her many
they fancied him quite decided to
times if she would or could marry him,
"and if he should indeed, marry her."
He went through with the marriage
ceremony of the Church of England,
for the benefit of imaginary couples
who stood at his bedside.
The Chapter Ends.
After his recovery Wesley's friends
came to congratulate INN on his en-
gagement. But ever since his miracu-
lous rescue from fire in his childhood
he had been convinced that he had
been singled out by his Maker for some
special purpose, and now here he was
prostrating himself before an earthly
idol and forgetting his mission.
Alarmed for his soul he rushed to
the Bishop of the Moravian mission
aries for advice. They had the same

and their work was done, and the still

teaching he spent partly in studying

From Central States standpoint we
may say: 'They do these things bet
ter in Massachusetts" The fact is
that Massachusetts, courts have recent
ly scored triumph over even the Fed
eral courts in bringing the sugar trust
to terms and imposing a fine for dere-
LECTION. The American Cultivator re-
ferring to this matter says: 'The peo-
pie of Massachusetts may congratu-
late themselves that the old Common
wealth is, in one respect, a bigger man
than is the United States. 1t has
brought the sugar trust to terms, which
the Federal authorities have never yet
been able to do. The State law of Mas
sachusetts requiring all corporations
doing business in the State to file their
reports was violated by the sugar trust
When litigation was begun, the trust
like Capt SCOTS coon, saw that 1t was
no use resisting and came down hand
somely. Only a ridiculously small fine
Of $500 was imposed by the court, but
the trust has filed its report, paid its
fine and now stands square with the
State Of Massachusetts until the next
filing day comes around. The moral
effect Of this victory is it's most import
ant part. 1t ought to stimulate the
Federal authorities at Washington to
better enforcement of the laws against
trusts"
