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 infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube gets infamed you have q
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 condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in

KILLED BY A TRUST.

Senator Hanna in his Chicago
speech declared there was not
single trust in the country yet with
in less than three months the Eleo-
trical Trust practically wiped out
of existence the town of Grant, H.,
a short distance from Chicago, by
closing down the Siemens & Hoiske
plant and throwing out of employ
ment 900 men and women upon
whom 5000 persons depended for
support. These victims of a great
trade combination which is con-
trolled by the General Electric
Company, face the coming winter
with dread and all who are able to
do so are leaving the once thriving
little town in search of work else
where. The Chicago Journal says
that beginning with the middle of
August, the reduction Of force had
been gradual. First one depart
ment was closed, than another and
the only explanation given was,
''We don't need you any more"
The following shows the num-
ber thrown out of work by the
trust:
Automobile department, 250;
machine shop, 25O; foundry, 81;
tool, SO; winding, rs; carpenters,
so; motor, rs; blacksmiths, Is;
mica or isinglass, 35; total, S57.
The total weekly wages Of the en-
ployees was $14.5OO.
Already the effects of the shut
down are being felt by the entire
community. Four boarding houses
have closed, two grocers are adver-
tising their places for sale, fewer
cars will be run by the street rail-
roads, weddings have been post
poned and church contributions
have fallen off to almost nothing.
Grant in short time will become a
deserted village.
Most of the windows at the plant
have been nailed up. AS far as can
be learned none of the employees
were given place in any of the
other factories owned by the trust.

morning he raised his hand as soon
as it was time for the talk to begin.

the right direction.
i" You young scamp, you'd have
made off with that if l hadn't kept
my eye on you!' said the boy in the
sam jerky fashion.
'And what did you do Them
l asked in fear and trembling.
Didn't do nothin', but just
come along to school, said the boy
soberly. Il reckoned he didn't
know no better; prob'ly he hadn't
had no such teachin' as I've got,'
and he lapsed into silence with an
air of perfect satisfaction.
"l think he had a pretty severe
rebuff, but he has told great many
pleasant things since that day, so

as she had risen. 1t was

might be said for other methods,

Halls Family Pills are the best.

The only sure way to gain the
love and respect of your pupils is
to be perfectly honest with them.
Beginners are apt to affect certain
prim-and-preciseness, and the af-
fectation is perfectly evident to the
average child, for children are ex-
ceedingly keen in penetrating dis
guises of manner. The best course
is to be frank. It takes some teach
ers years to learn this, and some
never learn it.-Rocky Mountain

her that could freely recommend Cham

take a bottle of the remedy and after giving
it a fair trial if she did not find it worth
the money to bring back the bottle and
would refund the price paid. In the course
