AT the Normal Institute at Knoxville,

spondent of the Chicago Times-Herald was
much surprised To meet his old friend, Mr..
"A. L. Conn, whom he believed TO be a life
long cripple, from rheumatism and s~ciatica,
moving around as brisk as ANYBODY. As the
last time Mr.. Cohn had been seen by the
ilines-Herald man he was on clutches. and
In a terrible condition, the subject Of his
recovery was the topic of conversation. The
following Is a resume of Mr.. Conu's story:

Deafness Cannot De 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 infiamed condition OF tho
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbl!ng sound, or imperfect hearing, and
when it Is entirely closed deafness Is tho
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tub restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused by catsrrh, which Is nothing but
an iniamed 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 Hairs Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Buffers and ladies' maids are acquired,

More often than otherwise the butler in a
certain mansion was originally picked up
in England like choice bit of bric-a- brac,
but perhaps not by his present employer.
He-the butler-began life as page
in some titled English family. In course
of time he became a valet, and finally
graduated "A full fledged butler. His am
bition then is America and higher wages.
And often when he changes employers, for
which there are various reasons, his for
mer master is willing to give bonds for his
future good conduct.

above rubies, for in addition to his other
