that the Cuban generals had had dis

Lack of Executive Ability.
1T Is stated that in the hurry and rush
attending the commencement of this work
the contents of cars were unknown at
Tampa: that bills of lading were not for
warded, and that 1t seemed impossible for
time to determine where absolutely neces-
sary articles were located. Col. Bird, OF the
quartermaster's department, testiiies that
this was corrected later on, when the con-
tents of cars were clearly marked upon
them and bills of lading promptly forward
ed. The condition of the railroad conges-
ton during the early portion of the time
Tampa was occupied by troops seems un-
paralleed, showing an almost ineXcusable
lack of executive ability on the part of
those charged with the loading, unloading
and handling of the trains. Col. Bird and
Gen. Humphrey testify that there We're
very poor facilities for transferring troops
and supplies arriving at Tampa via the
Florida Central railroad to the Plant sys-
TEN, leading direct TO Port Tampa. Order
was finally brought out of chaos, the cars
unloaded, the congestion overcome and a
vast amount of supplies of every character
delivered at this immense encampment.

In one Of the suburbs west OF Chicago is a
grocer who, although devout ehurchgoer
and a faithful citizen, has the reputation of
figuring closer in his business dealing than
any other man in the village. His enemies
say that he once bit a coffee bean in two to
make weight, and that he stops his clock at
night to save wear and tear on the wheels.
The grocer lives above his store. and his
home is connected with his place of business
by pair Of stairs indoors. The grocer's son
takes the late watch in the store, and every
night at nine o'clock the good man opens the
door at the top of the steps and the follow
ing conversation takes place:

Deofnesa 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 inhamed condition OF the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a rumbing
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 viii be destroyed forever:
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh.
which is nothing but an inhamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
