L1Nco1Ns WOODEN SWORD.
The Great American Not Success
in the Black Hawk War.

In the Black Hawk war, says Mcclure s
Magazine, Abraham Lincoln commanded
a company. The men had as a rule as
little regard for discipline as Tor appear
ances, and when the new captain gave
order were as likely to jeer at it as
to obey it. To drive the Indians out
was their mission, and any orders which
did not bear directly on that point were
little respected. Lincoln himself was not
familiar with military tactics, and made
many blunders, of which he used to tell
afterwards with relish. One of these was
an early experience in drilling. He was
marching with front of over 200 men
across a field when he desired to pass
through a gateway into the next in
closure.
Il could not for the life of me-" said
he, remember the proper word of COM
mand for getting my company endwfSe,
so that it could get through the gate; sol,
as we came near the gate, shouted.
This company is dismissed for two min
utes, when it will fall in again on the
other side of the gate"
Nor was it only his ignorance of the
manual which caused him trouble. He
was so unfamiliar with camp discipline
that he once had his sword taken from
him for shooting within the limits. An
other disgrace he suffered was on account
of his disorderly company. The men, I'M
known to him, stole a quantity of liquor
one night, and the next morning were too
drunk to fall in when the order was given
to march For their lawlessness Lincoln
wore wooden sword for two days.

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 condi-
ton OF the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is inlamed
you have a %rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result. and unless the in
famation can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
oil ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition OF the
mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case OF deafness (caused by catarrh)
that caunot be cured BY Halls Catarrh
