Decision ln Favor of the De Long Hook
and I'VE.

Judge Acheson, in the United States
Circuit Court at Pittsburgh, has just
rendered, in the case of Richardson &
De Long Brothers VS.. Campbell q Smith,
an important decision of great interest,
sustaining letters patent owned by
Richardson e. De Long Brothers, which
were granted to Frank Z. De Long for
bumped hook and eye, and enjoining
the defendants from selling the Golden
Spring" hooks and eyes.
The hooks dealt in by the defendants
we're manufactured by the Golden
Spring Hook and Eye Company, of
Springfield, Mass. In these hooks the
positions of the straight and curved
portions of the De Long loop were re-
vCISed. The Court held that this did
not void infringement, and directed
decree To he entered for the plaintiffs.
The case, which was a test one of
great importance, was contested at
great length, and has been pending for
almost two years.
Messrs. Richardson e. De Long Broth
ers were represented by Messrs. Straw
bridge g. Taylor, Bradbury Bedell, and
John G. johnson, of Philadelphia, and
Frederick p. Fish, of Boston, and the
defendants by Messrs. Allan Webster
and William L. Pierce.-N. Y. Times,

Oncst upon time me and mother got
rich and reckless, as il were, and went
up to the state fair TO See the marvel
some sights we had read about, which
didn't come TO pass. Then little Steve
CCwlin-which he is now runnin of
big bank in town, but was fetched up
plain and honest as other boys in the
Rocky Creek settlement-nothin would
do Steve and his folks but that me and
mother must go and stay with them
as long as we could. So we took out
and put up and tarried and remained
over with them a right good whet.
Steve lowed it was worth four bits
dny to hear me laugh and talk and sec
me eat, and he wanted us to hang up
our buds and stay till way next spring.

Steve he knows me, with all my weak
pints and winnin ways.
But now presently, in the run of time.
things got to comm too scandlons thick
and fast and furious to suit me. The
next Sunday me and mother we lit out
and went to church as usual. but it
makes me smile all over myself till vet
to think of the curious capers we must
OF cut amongst all the f1nery and con
fnsionment in that city church. As
we went in the organ grinder turned
loose with some of the gonebyest, most

Now in regards to religion reckon
we had as much when we cot back rs
we had when we started. I didn't
sing marry lick, and mother couldn't
even remember the text. Religion is
somethin that you feel and don't sec,

AMERICAS GREATEST SEED GROW
ERS.

Thirty years ago when the Salzers
were conducting in a small but profit
able way, a market garden and green
house business in La Crosse, Wis, they
little dreamed that within a third of
a century they would be the leaders
in the seed growing and seed-selling
industry of America. The secret of
this phenomenal success was quality,
liberality; push. Nothing in the world
advertises itself quicker and better,
and more lasting than quality and to
the superior merit of Salzer's northern
grown seeds; to their unusual life and
vigor and to their absolute surety of
growth, in conjunction with their
great producing qualities, and this
coupled with the great liberality of the
firm in the way of rare and many extras
to each order and push back of all,
has placed the firm in the van and en-.
titles them to the proud distinction.
of Americas greatest seed growersl
The production of rare vegetable sorts
and new farm seeds has long been
great speciality with this company,
owning and operating many thousands
hundred acre rial farm in South Da'
kota was visited by thousands inter-
e5ted III higher farming, and all rail
roads gave half-fare rate within the
state to any wishing to see the farm.
The Salzers pay great attention to the
new grasses. clovers and fodder
plants, and their catalogue contains
The largest list of rare farm seeds
found in America.
A strong point of the John A. Salzel'
Seed Co. is that they keep large stocks
of everything in the seed line on hand,
so that a customer ordering of them
is always sure of getting what he or.
ders.
A slight idea of the magnitude of this
firms business can be gathered that
they issue probably the largest num-
berof catalogues of any American firm;
that they use over 100000 postage
year, employ in the packing and dis
tributing of their seeds upwards of
six hundred hands and require for
their distributing warehouse over ten
acres of floor room.
A five cent postage stamp sent to the
John A. Salzer Seed Co., La Crosse, Wis,
will bring you their great catalogue.

Deafnesa Cannot BE Cured

oy local applications, as they cannot 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 inf1amed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamed 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 normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an indamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)

NERVOUS

People wonder why their nerves arc so weak;
why they get tired so easily; why they do not
sleep naturally; why they have frequent
headaches, indigestion and
Nervous Dyspepsia. The explanation
Is simple. 1T is found in that impure blood
feeding the nerves on refuse instead Of the
elements OF strength and vigor Opiate and
nerve compounds simply deaden and do not
cure. Hoods Sarsaparilla feeds the nerves
pure, rich blood; gives natural sleep, perfect
digestion, is the true remedy for all nervous
troubles.
