A QUEER COMBINATION.
wes . Justice OF the Peace, . Pick
pocket and q Little
Prayer Book.

Justice sBIl" Hall was chuckling the
other day over little adventure that befell
him, and which he related as follows:
1T was during the festival week, he said,
"and you al know how the downtown
streets were crowded. was walking down
State street, and, happening to look N one
OF the big store windo Us, saw pile OF books,
which reminded me of a commission given
me by my wife that morning. went In and
bought a book and put the parcel IN my
overcoat pocket.
''As came out into the crowd on the
street again felt hand go into my pocket,
and turned quickly, but not quickly enough
to catch the would-be thief, tough-looking
young man. who skipped of in the crowd
and was Immediately lost TO view. couldn't
help laughing to think how horribly disap-
pointed ne would have felt if he had sue
ceeded in his theft, because the parcel in my
pocket contained a common little prayer
book.
There's what call ludicrous cembina-
tion-a thief trying to rob police justice
of a prayer book-a combination that prob
ably has never before and never viii again
arise in the history of Chicago. "-Chicago

s'I am very grateful to you for your
kindness and the interest you have
taken in me, and truly believe your
medicines and advice are worth moro
to a woman than all the doctors in the
world For years had feraale troubles
and did nothing for them. Of course
I became no better and finally broke
down entirely. Aiy troubles began
with Inflammation and hemorrhages
from the kidneys, then Inflammation,
congestion and falling of the womb
and Inflammation of ovaries.
81 underwent local treatment every
day for some time; then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me permits
sion to GO back to work. went back,
but in less than a week was COM
PEELED to give up and go to bed. On
breaking down the second time, de-
cided to let doctors and their medicine
alone and try your remedies. Before
the first bottle was gone felt the eff
fects of it. Three bottles of Lydia &.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and .
package of her Sanative Wash did me
more good than all the doctors treat

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
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have 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 its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

OLD MEN OF BROOKLYN.
Twelve of Them Live Within u Ra-

Twelve of Them Live Within IL RAJ
dius of a Quarter of a Mile.
New York World
Twelve men, whose combined ages ex-
coed 1000 years, live in one Of the sub
urban towns of New York They form
probably the most remarkable coterie Of
old men in the world. They have a club
In which they meet frequently and where
young chap of eighty-f1ve meets with
a mild sort of raillery on account of his
extreme youth. The quaint little COM
munity at Ozone park, in Brooklyn Dor
ough, is the home of this remarkable
club Within a radius of quarter of
mile there live twelve mon whose COM
bined ages aggregate more than LOCO
years. while nearly score of others have
lived hale and hearty, though extreme,
old age. Among them all not one Is so
feeble that he cannot at least walk unaid-
ed, and several of them. though over
four-score years of age, are still active
in business life. On any fair day one
will meet these old men at every turn,
walking with more or less steadiness
about the village streets or collected in
friendly groups around the steps of the
postoffice In the winter months they
visit great deal among themselves.
The oldest member of this little group
prominent man of Long Island, who is
now 103 years old. There is no member
generally recognized by the community
to be one of this group who Is under
eighty years of age. One member, Charles
futile, a venerable white haired old gem
tleman of eighty-four, has been spoken
of as the kid" of the group, There is
besides good-natured rivalry among
some Of these old gentlemen which
most people will scarcely comprehend.
They are as rule very proud of their
old age and "spryness'' and boast among
themselves of their well-preserved facul-
ties. One picturesque old fellow who is
nearly his ninetieth year remarked to a
reporter last week.: You see a great
many old men about here who go stunb-
ling along with their backs bant nearly
double, but you would hardly call a man

And he stepped off with the spright.iness
and erectness of man forty wears
younger. Many of these old gentlemen
are engaged in active work and hold their
own very we'll with men many years their
junior
One Of the most remarkable of these
cases is Lewis c. Lockwood, a retired
Presbyterian clergyman. Mr.. Lockwood
still cultivates a small farm, and, though
nearing his ninetieth year, is engaged in
writing book. MY book helps to keep
me out of mischief" he explained to a
reporter, land it will be the best thing

farming besides, and 1 can still climb

HELEN KELLER'S TRIUMPH.
Remarkable Achievement I'm Master
ing Mathematics.

BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 26.AThe statement
made last summer with regard to the ham
dicap against Miss Helen Keller had to
contend, in her entrance examinations for
Radcliffe College in June, has led to a GER
tain misunderstanding. The simple fact is
that until two days before the examination
the American system of Braille, or point
writing for the blind, used in the mathemat-
les, was absolutely unknown TO Helen Kel-
ler and the evening before the examina-
tions her tutor discovered that some Of the
algebraic signs were still unknown to her.
She had to learn them in that short time as
well as she could. Only those who under
stand the likeness and unikeness of Amer
lean and English Braille can appreciate
the difficulty and confusion that these dis
similarities gave rise to on such an occa-
sion. There is an American Greek Braille,
an English Greek Braille, and a German
Greek Braille, besides New York point"
which is still another system of point writ
ing. All those Helen Keller has been DBL ged
to be more or less familiar with, in order
to carry on her studies; but much the great
er part of her textbooks are in English
Braille. 1t is a striking and remarkable
revelation in human nature, however, that
Miss Keller and her teacher have been
subjected to a certain amount of criticism
in the periodicals for the deaf on account
of this error, though neither one of them
was in the smallest degree responsible for
it, Helen Keler's triumph in this examina-
ton was great enough, that either ex-
aggeration or beittling and disparagement
would seem quite superfiuous.
