SISTERS CAUGHT A BEAU

Listen to that merry laughter.
Listen to that song of glee;
That quick footstep on the stairway
she's as happy as can be.
How ! like to tantalize her,
Watch her bushes come and go:
Now, of course you know the secret;
Sister Eessie's caught a beau.
Thrice week he calls upon her
Thrice a week and often four,
Then ! hear her grish gigele
Family through the parlor door.
SLOW but sure must be his motto;
Yes, that must be nearly right:
Takes tin ten to make his visit
Then till three to say, good night"
Heard Pa swear the other morning,
Wondered what twas all about
Lut I listened quite intently
And the cause ] soon found out.
"C'omc. get up now breakfasts ready, -
Then | heard a feeble yawn;
Mother had to wash the dishes
For my sister slumbcred on
She's been very thoughtful lately
As if puzzled by some doubt
And sometimes ! catch her blushng
At the things she thinks about;
Then I'll ask some trning question,
Then her cheeks turn rosy red;
Then she'll say, you are just horrid,"
And then sobbing go to bed.
Hear her tripping down the stairway
Chances shyly at the clock;
See her sidle for the doorway
when she hears an eager knock
Then she leads him to the parlor
While her checks are all aglow--
Oh, there'e been change at Dudleys
since his sister caught beau.

SCOTT Bostick, Of access to remedies
cured Of Running Old and new, tried
Ears BY Dr.. and untried, APP
hartman proved and disap-
proved. They were at perfect liberty to
try anything they chose to. They chose
to try the remedy that had cured others
like themselves, and thus they found a
cure.
Running of the ears, deafness or all
other affections OF the middle ear, are
due primarily to chronic catarrh. Run
ming of the earis properly called chronic
suppurative catarrh. Pe-ru-na will cure
catarrh of the middle ear, as well as
catarrh located elsewhere. This has
been proven over and over again in
innumerable cases besides the ones Just
mentioned. Deafness and running of
the ears are but symptoms of chronic
catarrh of the middle ear. Pe-ru-na
cures the catarrh, when the symptoms
disappear, whether it be running ears or
deafness or any other affection Of the
middle ear The remedy is compounded
according to the formula originally de-
vised by Dr.. Hartman of the Surgical
Hotel. Columbus, o., the noted writer

Gidcon's fast began from the mo-

hearty supper nothing worth recording

following morning he wakened with
the birds. but he Immediately thought
Of his enemy and did not get up. In
stead he lay where he was and medi-
tated on the wish he would make
against Phelnn. His appetite was
sharp, and he thought It would be a
sweet revenge to see his insulter mt his
door begging for n bite to eat. While
he was revolving this delightful pros

Gideon clasped his hands over his
complaining stomach and with Scotch
stubbornness suppressed a groan. His
wide nostrils drew in the delicious
odor with every breath and drove him
frantic. 1t was impossible to lie in bed

to occupy his mind. After a time he

he replied with surly nod. The odor
of the ham was still In the air, and he
was beginning to feel weak from hun
ger. Though he would have refused
anything to eat. he was unreasonably
angry because she offered him none.
But he refrained from scolding, and as
he could not go out he sought forget
fulness in reading Because Of the
evil nature Of his fast he could not
read his Gaelic Bible, so he ferreted up
bundle Of DR.. Dunlop's political
pamphlets and slowly spelled out as
much OF their meaning rs he could.
Betsy in the meantime dressed a chick
en- for dinner. She put it on to stew
over the open fireplace and made a
light batter for doughboys. Gideon
talked constantly and watched every
movement with wolfish eyes. The
odor from the bubbling pot set every
nerve In his rebellious digestive sys-
TEN quivering, and when Ann and
Sarah came home for their dinner 1t
was a torture to see their enjoyment Of
the meal. He never realized before
what ravenous and expensive eaters
they were. Finally his anger broke
loose, and as he scolded In Gaelic his
iron gray whiskers bristled with rage.

who fasts for three days can get his
wish on his enemy. 1t was plan well
known in Scotland, where the general
poverty made II easier to practice than
any other kind of revenge. OF course
the scheme appealed to the supersti-

solved to act on II at once. After the
whole matter was settled DR.. Dunlop's
