Not the Enemy He Feared.

The chief Of one Of the bureaus in a
certain department has been beset re-
Gently by newspaper men desirous of
interviewing him concerning a subject
upon which he will soon be compelled
to act. So assiduous were they that the
poor chief, made desperate by their pur-
suit of him, resorted to every possible
subterfuge to avoid them for weeks He
arose with the sun and slipped out of the
back door, the front door even at that
early hour being in state of siege. Al
the department his faithful clerk stood
bewteen him and his prosecutors, whom
he managed to escape in the afternoon
by driving for into the country.
But one 'pursuer, more persistent than
the rest, was not to be outdone, and fol-
lowed on horseback. Hearing horse
gallOp behind his victoria the other day
the hunted chief looked back and saw
man following him at furious pace,
waving a paper above his head and
shrieking to him to stop.
Drive on" he ordered; don't let that
man overtake us; drive for your life
"Wait, wait moment" screamed the
man on horseback. I've got something
for YOU
But the victoria bowled on at all pos
sible speed, the rider following fast be-
hind. The chase was long one, and a
hot one, ending with victory for the
equestrian.
How do you do, Mr.. X?" he asked
when he came up to the carriage What
are you running away from me for?'
Because l am tired of you Internal
newspaper people, he replied, "and l
won't give you bit of information un-
til l render my decision, so that's all
you've got for your race"
Newspaper people?" queried the
breathless rider. I'm not a newspaper
man. I'm clerk to the law firm of
B. & B."
And what do you want of me-" asked
the chief with a sickly smile.
You grubstaked man to go to the
KlOndike two or three years ago, didn't
you?'
YES" responded the chief. What
about it?''
We'll, he struck pay dirt, and sent us
a cheek for you covering the stake, with
interest, and including a handsome
bonus, with the request that it should
be delivered in person. I've been two
weeks trying to get at you, and almost
lost my position because l did not sue
ceed. Today Mr.. B. told me that if !
could not give you that check he guessed
l was too slow for them, and l need not
not come back. So here l am, and here s
the check. Please give me receipt
Since this incident the chief has
abandoned his habit of early rising for
fear he may miss some other debtor de-
sirous of paying up.-New York Trib-
une.

Denfness 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 inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachan Tube. When
this tube gets inf1amed you have runlbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it
is entirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the infiammatio can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh. which is nothing but an inf1amed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
can not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.
