TALES OF THE TOWN.

$~NS>SNOrS~
A Fourth ward resident has a sign
posted in his back yard that reads:
''Neighbors will please mind their
own business.
Two families named Brown decided
to move to the city. Both engaged
houses in the same block. Both
houses are located at the rear of gro
Gerry stores. Brown No. drove in
one day with load of furniture.
He was not very well acquainted
with the neigh borhood, so he dropped
into one of the stores and inquired if
the house next door had been rented
by Mr.. Brown. He was told it had.
So in went the furniture.
The following day Brown No. 2
moved to the city only to find that
the house he mad rented weeks before
was occupied by another-Brown.
The latter had his carpets down and
was congratulating himself on having
his family comfortably settled again
when he was informed that he had
gotten into the wrong premises. He
moved again.
A down town citizen needed some
carpentering done about his home.
He sent for a mechanic of his ac-
quaintance. When he arrived he
found the man alone at home. They
were talking matters over when the
man of the house remem bered he had
an errand to perform at the grocery.
and excused himself for a few mo-
ments, as he would have to hurry to
reach the store before it closed.
In the meantime the wife, who had
been calling, reached home. She was
Mortified to find a stranger seated
complacently in the front room. She
demanded to know what right be had
there. He attempted to explain, but
it was useless. Under a burning volley
of accusations of attempted burglary,
etc, he withdrew.
When the husband returned he
found his wife in a state of almost
nervous collapse. She was just
about to tell him of her discovery and
success in handling a robber when
she was informed how it all came
about. The carpenter was sent for
again and matters were Strengthened
out.

The Blizzard in New Mexico.

Denver, Col, Jan. ia special to the
News from Alamo Gordo, n. NJ, says:
Details of the blizzard which swept
over southwestern New Mexico Tues
day and Wednesday are coming in, and
they indicate that it was the severest
storm ever experienced in the region.
The velocity of the wind was terrible,
all roads and trails were obliterated,
and the driving snow made it impos-
sible for travellers to see their way in
the storm. When the storm abated.
wagons which had been abandoned
were found strewn all over the section.
Several fatalities are reported. 1t is
feared that many sheep herders have
lost their lives. Thousands of head of
stock persisted, and it is believed that
the loss will aggregate over half a mil
lion dollars.

ne.fne.. CANNOT he 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 infiamed 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-
dtion, 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
