One of the registration places in the West
side lodging house district was crowded
when a seedy- looking individual took his
place and gazed at the notices display ed on
the walls. 1t was evident that he had not
been shaved for several weeks, and the back
of his tattered coat bore evidence of hav-
ing come in contact with quantity of white
wash and sawdust. Still, the seedy indi-
vidual appeared happy. and hummed softly
to himself as he awaited his turn at the
table, relates the Chicago Chronicle.

wearied tone.
Cornelius Walker Dimpsey," replied the
seedy individual, gazing into vacancy.
"How long have you been in the pre-

''Thirty days, to the minute" came the
reply, o.,
'In the Bumalorum house, entresol floor,

It is needless to say that the seedy indi-

LOVE STORY WELL TOLD.
A Young Mans Clever Method of VIM
ming q Confession from
His Ad0red One.

She was pouring at tea that afternoon
and she looked unusually bewitching, says
the Smart Set. He was sitting at her left, In
q bower of palms that almost concealed him.
He was holding one of her hands. under
cover of the tablecloth, while she tried
to pour with the other. She did not look
at him as he talked, but he knew by her
color and the little culver Of the hand he
said. Dearest" he murmured, as she sent
one cup. off without spoon and another
filed only with whipped cream, dearest,
if you don't mind my saying all this to you,
just drop a spoon. Couldn't you manage
it?" A clatter of silver and more color in
the girls face, as in stooping to pick up the
this success, he went on: Dearest, if-if
you return it-that is, if you love me, you
know-just put three Jumps of sugar into
the next cup you gour.,Y,e-s.' OF, if you
don't, two, to spell No" One, two, three!
The tiny cup was almost full, and in her
haste to hide her confession she covered the
three Jumps hastily with chocolate and
cream and sent them off. He. asked his
mother as they drove home if she had en- !;
reply ''Such horrible stuff to drink as they
gave one. Why, my cup was half full OF
SUGAR.

Deafness. Cannot Re 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 infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed 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.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness .(caused by catarrh that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

The Chinese Situation.

The cause for the present Chinese entan-
clements is not religious differences, but the
abuse of the Chinese immigrants by the for
eign powers. Another great revolution comes
from the abuse of the stomach. Overtaxed
digestion produces constipation, Indigestion,
dyspepsia and fiatulency. Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters is the best medicine to take. 1t

the growth of trade in other coun-.
tries, such as India, which in former
years merely supplied the raw ma
terial, is the disease affecting the tex
tile trade. And with overproduction
has come a decline in export business
with the United States, owing to the
protectionist policy of that country.
In Saxony some of the carpet MAX
ers are only working four hours a
week. In central Germany dismissals
on a large scale are reported. Still
worse is the state of affairs in Silesia,
where dismissals and short hours are
combined.
Nor is western Germany in any bet
ter state. The silk weavers of Crefeld
have dismissed one-third of their
hands, and the rest are working short
time. In AK la Chapelle 1000 hands
are out of employment. The only
bright spot is the velvet industry,
which still keeps up it's production.
From Alsatia in the west to Silesia
in the east the cry is the same-over-
production.
The war has naturally had q bad
effect on trade, more particularly on
the iron trade. India, for instance,
has been constructing numbers of rice
mills and had bought the machines in
Thuringia. Since the troubles in
China arose, this progress has ceased
In addition to this it may be added
that the high price of cotton is caus'
ing much distress. Only the other
day the spinners of Austria-Hungary
meeting in Vienna, decided to reduce
| the output by one-sixth. This means
| that the mills will close down one
day per week until next spring. The
cause of the whole trouble is the high
price of cotton and the impossibility
of getting equivalent yarn prices
Many other mills throughout Europe
are closing on account of shortage in
