SIZE WAS IN ERROR.

The Little Smut on Harry's Face Was
Something Else, 1t Transpired.
The accident happened in Georgetown
recently, and it may be told briefly as fol-
lows: The two leading characters are
young woman of 90 and young man
of IS.
AS very frequently happens to youth
Of these tender years, this one is desperately
in love with girl older than himself. AS
is also often the case, girl of 90 is plenty
old enough to be an 18-year old boys
mother, and this particular girl is one of
the real old kind, She likes the smooth
faced boy and treats him pretty much as
if he were her sou, taking interest in his
dress, his department., his amusements,
his work and all that sort Of thing. She
calls him "Harry,'' too, or would if his
name were Henry, which 1t isn't, and all
the way through is just the kind of a girl
this kind of a young fellow falls in love
with.
When he is older, he will be falling in
love with another kind, but let US not an
tioipate. He Is an ambitious boy and
wants to be man and have whiskers-as
what boy does not?-and when he went
away on a two weeks visit, just before
the time of this episode, he thought he
would give himself a chance When he
returned home, a week ago, the first thing
he did was to go and call on the young
woman. She was glad to see him and
looked him over carefully and critically
to see how he had stood the excitement of
two weeks of life outsiAA of Georgetown.
excuse me, Harry" she said, ''but
there is little smut on your lip"
Therguileless Harry, knowing her kind
ly ministration, whipped out his handker-
chief and essayed to rub 1t off.
is it gomez he asked, after the man
ner of those who rub smut off their faces
when reminded to do SO by kind friend.
Let me have your handkerchief, she
replied, and she moistened it on her pretty
lips and gave the smut afeab.
She shook her head, aEl Harry was be-
ginning to grow nervous.
Let me have the handkerchief" he
said and stepped over to mirror between
the windows.
His face seemed to be familiar to him,
SO familiar that he gave gasp almost of
despair as he turned toward her,
"I-I-I beg your pardonp' he stam-
Inered. "That's my mustache.''
"Oh!' she exclaimed, and it was SO ter
ribly embarrassing that she has by no
means yet recovered, notwithstanding
Harry has had the smut removed with a
razor WASHINGTON Star.

shall Mckinley be nominated. The pro-
TESS themselves satisfied with Reed, Nor
on or Allison. The Reed men KIN ow that
the only man besides Mckinley who ca a
be nominated is their favorite, and any
move in that direction is agreeable to
them.
The departure of Messrs. Platt and
Quay for Florida, means just this: These
two will look the situation over and de-
termine whau il the best course to pur-
sue in regard to the temporary organiZa-
tlon OF the convention with view in the
contested districts of giving as maDyLseats
to anti MCKINLEY men as possible,
Platt was never quite so much in
earnest in his life as he is to defeat
Mckinley.
fbWhatever may be said to the contrary
Notwithstanding, he is prepared at any
moment in the convention when it will
do the most good, to turn at least 60 of
the New York delegation over to Mr..
Reed. Senator q uay is IN exactly the
same mood and the Pennsylvania delega-
tion can be counted on as practically q
unit for the Maine man.
This will lead to tremendous fight in
Connecticut when the convention meets.
The Mckinley men are bound to have
some delegates from there if it is II posi-
BILE thing. They are beginning to realize
that that in the present state of public
ceiling it will be impossible for their can
fddate to receive the nomination if the
east is practically unit against him.
Really the great fight Of the next two
weeks is that which will be made in Con
necticut.

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 constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-
eous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed Deafness is the resultn and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
tlition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by cataTrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

There Was Delay, but the Youth Got
There In Due Time.
A young man with a delicate straw col
ored mustaohe and football hair parted in
the center and glued down to his temples
sauntered carelessly into one of the SUI
perior courts the other day. He eyed the
judge through his glasses and sized up all
the attorneys. Then he walked up to the
bar and poured out glass of ice water.
The judge who is nervous and testy,
had observed the young man and frowned
down on the glued hair and glasses. When
the young man boldly walked up to the
bar and took glass of ice water, the judge
fairly boiled with Indignation at such to-
merity, amounting almost to contempt.
The young man was just raising the glass
to his lips when the judge roared:
"That water, sir, is for attorneys and
other officers of the court"
The glass almost dropped from his hand,
he started violently, turned red, then
placed the glass on the table and walked
out of the court. The judge chuckled.
Half an hour later the young man entered
the courtroom again with roll of parch-
ment in his hand. The judge glared at
him savagely, but he never fiinched. FL
nally there was a lull in the proceedings,
and he addressed the court:
'Your honor"
what is it, sir?'
81 wish to submit to the court my GER
tificate of admission to practice in the SUI
preme court and all other courts of this
state" And he passed the parchment to
the clerk.
"Well, what of that?' growled the judge.
CHOW, your honor, having presented the
proofs of my admission to the bar, would
now move the court that be permitted to
drink from the official pitcher" And hs
calmly drained the glass Of water he had
left on the table.-San Francisco Post.
