marked member of congress, when say

It's fine thing to be a statesman and show
up in the national parade of greatness at the
capital, but there's good deal more to it
than that. And one of the things that is
hardest to bear is what they say about us.
Why, lady can't come up here and ask to
see a member that there aren't half dozen
people to wink and shake the head and a
lot more of the same to make him wish all
the women were in hades. OF course, there
is some ground among us for remarks, Just
as there is among preachers and doctors
and bod carriers and everybody else human,

chief delight in trying to involve congress

tation that comes handy They are pretty
and persuasive, and before a man knows
what he is about he is down in the senate
restaurant paying for lunch and listening
to some kind of tale of VICE.
"But they miss it now and then, and ]

lady's hotel the next day and she had asked
him to let her know if he could come. He
wrote saying among other things: To-
woman in the whole world Naturally she
was pleased and told all the people around
the hotel about it. The next day he did not
appear, and the next she saw him at the
capitol and asked him what he meant by
treating her so.
"'What did do?' he asked, innocently.
You said you were coming to see me-
she said, blushing at the remembrance of his
words
Il think not
Indeed, you did, she insisted. You
said you would see the lovelest woman in
the world and she blushed again.

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 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-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed 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.
