Merit Wins,

The invention of Alabastine marked
a new era in wall coatings, and from
the standpoint of the building owner
was most important discovery. 1t
has from small beginning branched
out into every country of the civilized
world The name "kaisomine" has be-
come so offensive to property owners
that manufacturers of cheap kalso-
mine preparations are now calling
them by some other name, and at
tempting to sell on the Alabastine
company's reputation.
Through extensive advertising and
personal use, the merits of the durable
Alabastine are so thoroughly known
that the people insist on getting these
goods and will take no chance ofspoil-
ing their walls for the possible saving
of at the most but few cents. Thus
it is again monstrated that merit
wins, and that manufacturers of first
class articles will be supported by the
people.

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 infamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube Is inflamed you have q
rumbling sound, or imperfect hearing. and
when 1t Is entirely closed deafness Is the
result. and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever: nine cases out OF ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an infiamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)

Was Shelby's Faithful Slave.

Kansas City Star: A darkey with
bent form and wrinkled face that bore
traces o. -se and sorrow stood on Min
nesota avenue in front of the office
of the Star in Kansas City, Kan, early
yesterday morning. For long time he
watched the newsboys enter the build
Ing and then run out again with their
papers under their arms. Finally he
went into the office and asked for a
paper containing General Shelby's pic
ture. A smile lighted up his face as
he took the paper in his trembling
hands. Then he leaned against the
wall and gazed steadfastly at the pic
ture on the front page for ten min
utes.
did you know General Shelby ?"
one of the Office men asked of him.
Ibid l know him?" the old darkey

shrewd Way to Pay Clerical Debts.

The Rev. George w. Brown of
White county, Illinois, made a curious
revelation to his congregation on a re-
cent Sunday. Complaints have been
made that he was paying more atten-
ton to horse trading than to preach
Ing. He felt called upon to give an
explanation in his sermon to the effect
that, although he confined himself to
preaching, he had sunk $1,000 in debt.
He said that he had dream to the eff
feet that if he would so into horse trad
Ing he would remove his debt. He bor-
rowed 5000 from friend, and inside of
six months was out Of debt. He sug-
sested that it was mighty good busl-
ness. 1t had helped him. and it would
help them out.

Patriotism Rampant in a Female College

Patriotism Rampant in a Female College.
Two years ago the faculty of Vassar
college at Poughkeepsie, n. Y, voted
that, for various reasons, Washing
toms birthday should not be given
to the students as a holiday. In 1896
the day fell upon the last day of the
week, and so seemed like holiday in
many respects. But this year brought
it on Monday, and the young lady stu
dents of Vassar felt it an insult to
their patriotism to be obliged to at
tend classes on legal national holl-
day. They resolved to protest against
this as a body.
About a quarter of an hour before
breakfast that day a body of students
assembled in the senior parlor, and
started in procession over the corri-
doris, increasing in numbers as they
marched. America" and Yankee
Doodle" were sung with a will By
the time the procession passed out Of
presidents house there were 200 or
800 students in line. They saluted
President Taylor's windows with
Three Cheers for the Red, White and
Blue" and hearty cheers for George
Washington. Then, returning, they
entered the dining-room to the tune of
America" Quick and silent hands
had transformed the dining-room into
a glory of national colors. A chalk
line was drawn around the faculty
table, and screen of flags shut them
away from the patriotic ones who were
intent on celebration. The professors
were greeted as they entered the class
rooms with patriotic songs, and found
their classes all arrayed in Sunday
best, some with hats and gloves on,
More than this a poster for every
class was conspicuous behind the desk
The French poster announced: "Qui
entire lei laisse lie patriotism dehors."
The algebra poster was clever COM
putation of the results of taking away
patriotism from the faculty and adding
it to the students That OF the Greek
class Informed the college that the
Greeks loved freedom and taught hon
or to those who freed their country.
Would that our teachers would do the
same" The psychology poster traced
the effect on the mind caused by de-
priving the students of the holiday.
In the morning mail each member of
the faculty received notice: "A re-
vised edition of Shakespeare's tragedy
George Washington. with extracts
to illustrate the situation. The bulle-
tin board on the main corridor was
covered with notices. Those who stop
ped to read found notice from every
club in the college: There will be
no meeting of the students association
today" Federal councils will hold no
meeting today" THE Wake Robin
club will not meet today" And in
striking contrast was an unsigned no.
tice. THE faculty will meet as usual

The members of the Baptist Young Peo-
ple's Union who contemplate attending n
n ational meeting OF that body in July,
should bear in mind that there is no better
equipped line from the East, North or
Northwest than tho Popular Big Four
Route, via Cincinnati or Louisville. All
through passenger trains on this line are
vestibuled, equipped with Buffet Shoppers,
with Hotel Dining Cars on day trains. AT
Cincinatti direct connection is made in tho
same depot with the Queen 81 Crescent
Route, the short line to Chattanooga, via
the famous High Bridge AT Louisville
with the Southern Railway and the Louis
vile & Nashville, via Mammoth Cave and
Nashville, allowing stop-over at both these
points.

replied, without taking his eyes from
the paper. Did know 10 Shelby?"
he repeated why. he was my ole
marstah." As he looked up the tears
were coursng down his cheeks.
The old darkey's name was George
Miller. He was the faithful slave who
was with Shelby through the war and
took care Of the generals horses. He
is now 5S years old and lives at the
corner of Tenth street and Washington
avenue in Kansas City, Kan. He earns
a living by delivering groceries for
Henry Horstman, q grocer.
Miller told a reporter that he was
born in Madison county, Kentucky, in
1888. About ten years before the wai
broke out he was brought to LeXing-
ton, Mo-, with a number of slaves who
were to be sold on the block. On the
day OF the sale, Miller says, General
Shelby came along and purchased him
at private sale.
"He paid $1,000 for me, and he was
the best marstah l eber had"
The old darkey said he was taken to
Shelby's farm, where he was given
charge Of the generals stables. When
the war broke out General Shelby took
Miller with him and he was faith
full slave during all the long siege of
civil strife. After it was over he was
given his freedom.
The old darkey's sorrow over the
death of his ideal soldier and master
is pathetic to witness.
