ton it can be accomplished with just a
little more than half as many.
In the former case, four little over
skirts are made separately and put on
the same band. In the latter founda-
ton skirt of silk or imitation silk is
made and the miniature skirts sewed
upon it, each overlapping the other
enough to hide the heading so that a
separate effect is maintained. The skirt
has an abbreviated train and slightly
sweeps the ground all around. There
are no gathers nor plaits at the back
and the opening is made upon the side
to preserve an unbroken beauty of out
line. Any bodice can be worn with the
four-pieced skirt, and it is particularly
dressy with the novel new silk waists
that are so much the vogue.

Nut. as a Popular Food.

Nuts have often been considered to
be very indigestible, but doubtless
much of this prejudice against them
comes from the fact that they are very
rarely properly masticated. They are
rich in nutritive elements, and we know
of no reason why they should not be a
healthful article of food if properly
prepared. They should be masticated
very thoroughly, and oftentimes if
they were baked and ground into a
meal they would be used to much
greater advantage. We believe that
they would be a useful article of diet
if prepared in this way and judiciousiy
used with other lines Of diet.

There is ushered into fashions do

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 inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inhamed 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 inhamed condition
of the mucous surfaces

JOHNS SACRIFICE.
He Proved Himself q Greater Here
Than His Selfish Brother, Who
Fought In Cuba.

When the first call for troops reached
the village last spring John Black
struck his spade into the ground and
turned toward the house. '.Pl go!"
he said to himself.
But as he neared the farmhouse he
stopped. There was his old mother and
poor, crippled Jenny. How could he
leave them?
He had given up marriage for these
two; he had dru6ged all his life. But
here was great work to be done-a
chance really to live; or to die nobly.
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1899-01-20

The thought sent the hot blood rush
ing to his heart. He would go. He
could send his pay home TO his mother
and Jenny.
But up the road just then came his
brother. His face was red. He was
painting. Cuba libre!" he shouted.
I'm going to enlist, John"
''To enlist? And Nancy and the chill
dren?"
81 told her to pack up and come to
you. You'll have to look after them. 1t
will be hard scratching for seven,
know, but I'll never again have such a
chance to see something of life"
You've no right to shirk your duty
to your wife and children" said John,
sternly.
But Will only laughed.
Nancy and the four children came
home, without a penny, and John
druGged faithfully for them all sum-
mer. Nobody suspected he had wanted
10 go. His mother and Nancy and the
whole village watched Wills course
with delight and pride. He was their
hero, their fearless patriot.
He was slightly wounded before San
tiago and came home on furlough. He
thrilled with eXultation as he stepped
out of the train and saw crowd of
people come to welcome him. He was
helped into a landau, over the back of
which was an American flag. His
townsmen had come to do him honor.
He felt that he was hailed as favor
lite son. He nodded carelessly to his
brother.
Hello! Jogging on as usual?" he
said.
John drew back out of the crowd.
The old doctor, seeing his face, laid his
hand on his shoulder.
There will be another coming home
of men one of these days, who have been
on a longer fight than that in Cuba" he
said, quietly. "And then God will re-
ward the heroes, unknown as well as
| known, who have given life and service
| for Him and His needy Children

Too Small to Be Counted.

Two little girls had been invited to
lake tea at the home of third, and
their mother had told them if cookies
were served they should take but one
each. Sure enough, a plate of tiny
fancy cakes was passed at the table.
Nettie, the older girl, looked at the di-
minutive baby cakes" for moment
and then took two, whispering, as she
did so to her little sister of four: You
may take two, Clara. I'm sure mamma
had no idea they would be so small"
