Kenyon opened his eyes and unfolded

looking up at him with his anger kind
ling, that if do not bride you to the
extent of 300. besides giving you an

Kenyon rose in his wrath and flung
open the door.
Il must ask you to leave this place,
and leave it at once. If you ever put in
an appearance here again while l am in

have you arrested"
'.Mydear sill" expostulated the other,
suavely, 1T is merely a matter of bust

me of his experience with DR.. Williams Pink

All" said the young man, that is

''As l said a moment ago, we are not

ture to talk of advertising at the pres

Il think you know it will be to your
interest to take the half page. The
price is 300, and besides that amount
we should like to have some shares in
the company"
do you mean for one insertion of
the advertisement?
Yes, that is what l mean"
Don't that strike you as being a
triie exorbitant? Your paper has a
comparatively limited circulation, and
they do not ask US anything like that
price even in the large dailies.'
"Ah. my dear sir, the large dailies
are quite different. They have ire
mendous circulation. it is true, but it
is not the kind of circulation we have.
No other paper circulates so largely

only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an intiamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets intiamed you have a 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 con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
