If kisses were numbered and apt TO be missed,
There's maLy fellow who nc'er would be
kissed;
If kisses were counted by wives at their source,
There's many wife who would sue for di'
vorce;
If kisses were lasting and apt to be treasured.
Full many kiss by the court would be meas
urcd,
Yet every kiss that is given in sport
By Cupid is labelled and counted in court,
And the kiss that is stolen. or taken in jest.
IL often the kiss that's remembered the best.

CHEEIIINESS.

Let us stop the worry, dear,
Things are coming right;
Sing your heart q song of cheer,
Give your eyes the light.
Luck is with the bold of heart,
God with those that smile;
We but need to do our part
Yet little while.
Fortune. but to hide her frown
When she sees your eye
Dimmed with tears and dropping down,
Lightly passes by.
Meet her look with ne'er fear,
Soon her eyes will light.
Let us stop the worry, dear.
Things are coming right.

Police duty In Chicago is dangerous
enough now, but patrol duty today is play

tough districts. Many of the men who
now hold responsible and authoritative
positions in the department have had
deaths grip at their throats more than
once, and many patrolman, for whom
promotion is yet in the future, has looked
the same adversary square in the face.
I Inspector Michael Setback has probably
had as many narrow escapes as any men,
Der Of the force, but for 20 years he has
been puzZling over two things. One is
how n burglar who placed a gun square
against his head and fired Hi mayed to miss
him, and the other Is what it was that

from me and ran through an alley to a

me with his gun as he went. I followed
him and saw him pass through hole in

stoneyard

off and freed me. Reinhardt reappeared
about this time, and the assailants ran. We
both fired, and one of those running fell.

WHAT WE INHERIT

We are not to blame for. We con-
not be held responsible for the dis
positions and tendencies which we
derive from our ancestors, nor are
we responsible for the germs Of dis
ease which may manifest themselves
in our blood as heritage from form
or generations. But we are respon-
sibIe If we allow these germs to de-
velop into serious diseases which
will impair our usefulness and de-
slroy our happiness. We are respon-
sible if we transmit to our descend
ants the disease germs which it is
possible for Us to eradicate by the
use ofIIood's Sarsaparilla, the one
true blood purifier. This medicine
has power TO make rich, red blood
and establish perfect health in place
of disease.

DEAFNESS CANNOT

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 constitution

an inflamed condition of the mucous

When this tube gets infamed you
have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored TO It's nor
