day and set on fire. Mrs Sterling and
her children managed to save the house.
The barn, stacks and cribs and every

A month ago Mrs. Sterling applied
for divorce after having Sterling ar
rested for beating her children by her
former husband, John McMichael. The
justice gave Sterling time to get bonds
and dismissed him. He was not seen
afterward. After the fire his tracks
were found leading from the house.
Thomas Casey, a farmer, discovered
him in a hole in a straw stack on the
Mcdonald farm. He ordered Sterling
to come out, and on his refusing to
come set fire to the stack Sterling re.
manned in the stack until the flames
reached him, and then cut his throat
with jackknife, plunging through the
flames and falling at Casey's feet. The
man was horribly burned and nearly
bled to death before Casey could obtain
medical assistance. The physicians
say he will live.

HOW A CLAIM PAID.
One Way of Getting Money without
Planning 1t Out.

Planning 1t Out.
There are more ways of making
money off claim than panning it
out" said an Alaska miner who had
some luck with his pick and shovel.
For instance, knew man Of means
in the Dawson district who had a
claim which had failed to be as profit
able as expected, and he didn't know
just what to do with it to get his
money back until he had devoted con.
siderable thought to it. And it was sim.
pie enough when he knew how.
He quietly went to the gold com.
missioner and announced that he wish.
ed to pay his 10 per cent royalty on the
product of his claim for year, which
was $4,000. The commissioner &C.
cepted the $4,000 royalty and gave him
the usual receipt. stating on it's face
what it was for. with the number of
the claim, location, etc.
''Then he waited patiently about
like Mary's little lamb, and one day, in
the course of human events; an Eng
lishman came along looking for good
thing for some people who had money
to spend. He asked Mr.. Blank, among
others, what he had to sell. and the
smooth gent told him he didn't know
exactly, but he would show him his
goods. They looked over several
claims that were practically unworked,
and then in a casual way Mr.. Blank
showed the Englishman his receipt
for royalty on claim SO and so. And,
you know, he said, with wink, that
a man isn't paying royalty on any
more than he can possibly help
'"The Englishman was right on to
that little game, of course. and he
sized up the $4,000 receipt, looked over
the claim in general way and ended
by buying it for $3.50, OOO."-Washing-
ton Star

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 oonstitu-

Eustachian Tube When this tube is infiamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, 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
