 Suppose you were told to open a switch and then received a signal to do something else, would you obey that signal and leave the switch open or close it?'
 'Supposing you were on the roof of car, and that part of the train you were on broke away from the engine, what would you do? Would you set the brake or first notify the conductor?"
 Do you think brakeman ought to smoke when on duty?"
 "Supposing the train was attacked by tramps or mob of any sort, what would you conceive to be your duty 9"

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE.
Some People Seem to Make Them selves Popular Sooner
 Than Others.

Everybody in Virginia who is any body knows Col. Tazewell Elicit, of Richmond, and most of them have an af- fectionate way of referring to him as '@Taz" He was in town the other day on his way 10 New York, and in the course of few incongruvial remarks he told this story on himself to illus trate point.
 Some years ago." he said, q had oc- casion to stop at hotel in Baltimore where a friend of mine had been living for seven years. One morning after 1 had been there three days l wanted to find this friend, whom l shall call Maj. RocIbridge, and asked the clerk if he had seen him about the office during the last half hour. He said he had not, and referred me to an old darly who presided over the boot blackery in the adjoining back hall
 "'Have you seen anything of Maj. Rockbridge this morning, Uncle Joe?' Inquired.
 "'I don't know no sich gemn, suh,' replied the old man.
 "'Don't know him?' I said, in sur prise. Of course you know him.
 No, suh; l dunno no Majah Rock bridge round yeah, suh.'
 T couldn't understand the situation, and went after the old fellow on the trot.
 "sNow, look here. Uncle Joe,' I in sisted; you know me, don't you2'
 "'Oh, yes, suh; you's Cunnel Elicit, ob Richmond, suh'
 "'Well, how in thunder does it hap pen that you know me, when l have only been here for three days, and you don't know Maj. Rockbridge, who has been here for seven years?'
 "The old man began dusting my coat with the wisp in his hand
 "'Tse gwineter 'splain dat right now, boss he said, cautiously. You see. suh, dar's some folks wat makes themselves more notoriouser in three days dan some udder folks does in seben years. Da's jis' how dat is, suh, and agreed entirely with Uncle Joe. Washington Star.

Densnera Cnnnor He 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 inhamed condition of the mu- cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal con ditien, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.
