Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way TO cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by al inflammation
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit, 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 infamed condition of the mu'
cous surfaces.
We offer one hundred dollars for any
case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars and testimo'
malls.

THE OLD TIMERS IMPORTANCE.
To Squelch or Approve the Ambition

To Squelch or Approve the Ambition of
the Ypungster His Province.
A man of great importance in village
where there are anglers Is the Oldest fish
erman. His ideas of proper bait, of the
correct manner of casting with rod and
his thoughts on true sportsmanship may
be neither good nor worth considering in
the minds of the youngsters, but there Of
ten comes time when the oldest fisherman
Is called upon to become the arbiter Of
some mans destiny. Some young fellow
gets ambitious. He wants to be considered
one of the elders in spite of his few years.
He fawns on the real old timers address
es them by their nicknames, always carries
bag of good pipe filling tobacco with him
and Is ever ready to say nice things about
the old ones tackle. But there Is always
that feeling haunting him that he Is not
yet of them, even though they treat him
cordially and call him Sport. AT last he
tells a fish story, the widest, most untrue
to nature that he can think of, and on II he
stakes his hope Of being regarded as an old
timer before his years warrant 1t. Here Is
where the Oldest fisherman comes in. If he
says the story is the worst he ever heard,
the youngsters position as an old timer Is
even worse one, the youngster must bide
his time.
Another occasion when the Oldest fisher
man is all important is when big fish is
taken, say trout. 1t is the pride of the
lucky angler when the oldest angler says
that tits the biggest trout l ever hearn
tell of, let alone see. " That makes his fish
one of the monumental ones, ever to be
remembered when tales of big fishing are
told on the local hotels steps or porch.
Likewise is the oldest fishermans judg-
ment final on the subject of big catches.
The oldest flsherman's tales take rank
above all Others. They are listened TO with
marked attention. and the longer they are
drawn out the more they are listened to,
and many "greeny" has been squelched
for saying the oldest flsherman's story was
older than the fisherman himself. New

''I have found way to beat the tele-
phone company out Of ndime. The speak
er was one of those young men who are
abundantly able TO pay all charges, but
who imagine IL IA proper thing to get"
the best Of every one, and he was address,
ing a Chicago Post reporter. According
to their ethics, cheating the telephone COM
pany out of a dime Is "A worthy thing TO do.
''Go into drug store, ring up central
and tell the girl TO call the man you want
TO talk with and have her tell him To call
up No -, whatever may be the number
OF the telephone at which you are stand
ing. Ask her to tell him TO call you, Civ
ing your name. He Is a subscriber and
there Is no charge"
The young man to whom this informa
tion was impaired wanted to chat with
the cashier girl In "a restaurant along in
the quiet afternoon hour, and he went In
to drug store. There was very attrac-
tive cashier girl here also. The young man
noted the telephone was No Al ,144 Main
and he rang up central and took down the
transmitter.
A moment of silence.
Hello" from the young man. "Why-
central, be kind enough to ring up No.
7,l17 and tell Miss-tell them to call Mr.
Light at Al, 144.
He was IA little nervous about it. He
thought the cashier girl across the room
was watching him, but his back was to-
ward her
There was another moment of silence
Then the girl at central said:
why, you are Al, 144. Why don't you
call up 7,117 il you want themY'
And right there the big scheme for beat
ing the telephone company went to pieces
Furthermore, the young man, being con-
fused, imagined that cashier girl behind
him had heard all he had said over the tele-
phone, and he turned around much con-
fused. The cashier was smiling wisely,
but not looking at him. He started to
walk out with what dignity he could re-
tain.
"Ten cents, said the cashier girl, and
he stopped as he lariated He blushed and
grinned and paid and went But he said
to himself he would kill the man who had
given him so dangerous pointer.
