The PumpkIn's Ambition,

They put me to sleep In a warm, soft bed,
And tucked the brown blankets over my
head;
But the wind and the sun. the dew and
the rain
All helped me, and soon l was up again.
Then / looked up and saw the sun,
And thought right up to him I'd run;
But, try az | would and do my best,
STRETCHED out on the earth | had TO rest.
Said ]: "Old Sun. you're n funny fellow,
bright and warm, so round and yellow,
hin I'd better try and see
If ] can round and yellow be"
! could not do much, though I tried my
best,
I'm one little pumpkin among the
rest,
But there's one more thing I'd like to try
And that's to be baked I'm a Christmas pie.

Deafness Cannot BE Cared

BY local application as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only che way to cure deafness and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inlamcd condition Of the

When this tube is infiamed you have Il
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out Of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which Is nothing but the in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
