THE WAY IT ACTED.
1t Was Quite II New Thing to sam and
He Was Bound to Try It,

\ tailor named Sam Smith, from a
country place, visited IL large wholesale
warehouse and ordered IL quantity of
goods. He was politely received and one
of the principals showed him over the cs-
Enlistment. On reaching the fourth
floor the customer saw IL speaking tube
on the wall, the first he had ever seen,
says the Detroit Free Press
What is that>' he asked.
"Oh. that isl speaking tube 1t is IL
great convenience. We can talk with it
10 the clerks on the first floor without
taking the trouble of going down stairs. .
Can they hear anything that You say
through it,
Yes, and they can reply"
You don't say so. May | talk through
it,
"Certainly.n
The visitor put his mouth to the tube
and asked:
Are sam Smiths goods packed yet?''
The people in the office supposed it was
the salesman who had asked the question,
and in moment the distinct reply came
back:
NO; we are waiting for II telegram
from his town. He looks like IL slippery

Frank Dixon, the taxidermist of ,2l
Walnut street, who left this city three
weeks ago to hunt for gold in Colorado,
which ne thought he could locate from
gold dust which he found on deer's teeth.
writes back that he is still on the hunt
and in nowisc discouraged.
DiNon's hunt for gold, and the way in
which he undertook it, would seem to
many like Il wild goose chase Dixon
was the only taXidcrmist in this city.
Birds and animals came to him from all
over the West TO be stuffed and mounted
y year ago he received two deer's heads
from Colorado to be mounted, anil when
Dixon skinned them he noticed yellow
substance on the teeth. He examined
the teeth closely in the light and Thought
that he discovered sparkle. He argued
this way: The deer came from Color,-
do, the land Of gold; they browsed on
grass that grew where there was so much
gold that its dust got on the grass and
became encrusted on the deer's teeth: it
only remains to find the exact spot where
the deer We're shot, and there will be
found the goldn
Dixon took the teeth to a dentist and
he said the incrustation was really gold
deposit. He took them to his friend,
Schncttcr goldsmith, and he became as
enthusiastic as Dixon. Dixon then
wrote To the man who had sent him the
deer heads and found out where the deers
were shot, way out beyond Denver, in
the wilds OF Colorado Schnetter and
Dixon started three weeks ago for that
place.
a letter received from Dixon says that
Schnetter has started back for Kansas

about to start On three weeks tour

He had found no trace of gold, but the
woods were full of grouse and deer He
had examined the teeth of all the deer

" u That lidcOuS and dcati;lv
g. a. demon of sickness-constiDa-
tion, is all easy enough thing to cure if
you take the right medicine Constipa-
ton is one of the conmonest things i'll The
world. 1t is really one of the most scri
Gus things. Fully nne-tcntlls of all tie
ordinary sickness of mankind is due to
this one cause. If you place all obstruc-
ton in the gutter, it will stop the flow OF
water, and gradually a mass of poison
Gus, putTefyiilg matter will accumulate
That is exactly what happens i'll the
digestive organs when constipation be-
gins. Poisonous matter accuInulates and
is forced into the blood. 1t goes all over
the body and causes all sorts of syinp-
toms. A few OF these are dizziness, flatu-
lence, heartburn, palpitation, headaches
loss of appetite, loss of sleep, foul breath,
distress after eating, bliousncss and erup-
tons Of the skin. These things are uil-
pleasant, but they are not serious. The
serious things come afterward. Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are for the cure
of constipation They are tiny, sugar
coated granules, easy to take, mild and
efficient in their action. One is gentle
laxative, two Il mild cathartic. There is
nothing else i'll the world like them
There is nothing that takes their place.
There is nothing just as good" although

Odd Fellows Sued.

According to the city press the
Wisconsin Odd Fellows Mutual Life
Insurance company is in very bad
way financially and likely to collapse
unless the members can be made to
pay up their assessments.
To accomplish this suits have been
Instituted in many parts of the state
to force payment of delinquents.
The cause OF the trouble is that as
sessments have been coming in so
rapidly that large per cent. OF the
members have lapsed. but the mana
gers OF the company maintain that
these lapsed members are liable for
their last assessment and also for
assessments on other deaths occurring
prior to the date Of refusal to pay
The members OF this company are
receiving proof Of the common sense
proposition that any form OF insur-
ance company that during its early
years furnishes insurance at less than
the average cost as based upon reliable
mortality tables, is laying the found
alton for financial distress or bank
ruptcy in the future.

1t IS difficult for Europeans toadmit
that the United States is entitled to

certain papers Of the London press
have expressed ayicw that Spain could
bring United States to terms in war

the navy Of this country is vastly
inferior to that Of England and France
it is also true that we have quite

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

BY local application. as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused BY an
inflamed condition OF the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound Of imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever:
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh. which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous SUR
faces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness, caused by
catarrh, that cannot be cured by
