Deafness Caaaot 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 inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Euatachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have rlmbling sound or
imperfect hearing and when it is entire
ly closed, deafness is the result and un-
less the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed 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. Send for circulars free.

Aged and Destitute Mother Believes

Mrs Naomi ID. Wells, aged 20. for
seven years has kept a light burning
at night in the window OF her humble
cottage on Seward street In the hope
that her son. Frank d. Wells. who dis.
appeared seven years ago. may return
to her.
She is in destitute circumstances
and every effort has been made to in.
duce her to go to the old ladies' home.
but despite her extreme poverty she
stubbornly refuses to leave the little
home to which she expects her los:
boy to return.
In 1897 the son. then 20 years old.
with two companions, set out for

he had been killed In St. Joseph.

A Talking Book.

This is an Interesting novelty,
said a dealer in toys.
He opened child's picture book
to the picture of COW. and ct the
same time he pulled slender silk
cord. The cows mouth opened and
a sonorous "Moo!" was given fo.ih.
A cock was on the next page, and
when his cord was pulled he flarped
his wings and cried "Cock-a-doodle-
doo!"
And thus the dealer. turning The
pages. showed lions that ruffled tleir
names apd roared, dogs that stood on
their hid legs and barked. cats that
arched their backs and menwed.
snakes that wriggled and hissed. and
children that turned their heads from
side to side and said Papa" and
Mamma"
The dealer said the book came from
Paris. There was a bellows inside
each picture that, on being com.
pressed by the silk cord. caused the
proper sound to issue forth.
This is q tine book for a child to
have" he said. Unfortunately,
though. it is too expensive for any but
rich children"

AMERICA AND ARCHAEOLOGY
1000 YEARS HENCE.

In an entertaining address of well
come to the archaeological institution
of America. President Eliot of Har-
ward spoke regretfully the other day
of the fact that American civilization
in its present stage OF development
presented little or nothing durable
from the standpoint OF the particular
science cultivated by that ~organiza-
ton.
What. asked DR.. Eliot. are We doing
for the Archaeological of 1000 years
hence? What records are we prepar-
ing for that remote time. BY what sur
vivals will our race and era be judged
and characterized by the learned pro
fessors OF the year 1000 A. d.? We
make no vases that record our cos
tunes. arts, religious ceremonies. etc,
after the n of the Greek vase;
a comparatively short time; our en-
cheering structures require constant
care and will not stand the wear and
tear of ages, as, for example. the Ro-
man bridges have stood. and the pro-
duets of our great industries are per
ishable in a high degree and tending
to become more and more so. What,
then, will the earnest and painstak-
ing archaeologist of the future do to
explain us to his day and generation?
Our chances. it appears, are confined
to Our subways. it behooves us to
bestow even greater attention on their
durability than we have done.
The average councilman or corpora
ton financier may ask, with the naive
Briton, what the future has done for
us that we should do anything for the
future, and especially for the dry
science of archaeology of 1000 years
hence. But the questions raised by DR..
Eliot are curious enough to provoke
much interesting speculation.-Record-

Little 5-ysarold Tommy winston

felt that he needed some kind Of .
playmate. Tommy's father assured
him that it was impossible for him 70
buy q pony. 1t would eoststoo much,
and, besides, he would have to build

And you'd have to buy hay, too.

Well" said Tommy. Il wish the
Lord would hurry W, cause I'd rather
have a brother than = pony. anyhow,

Some months later Tommy's papa
told him that his little brother had
come from heaven. Tommy was de-
lighted. When they allowed him to
go in to see the new arrival little Tom
my was laughing and chucklinE in
high glee. He wanted to kiss the
baby; he wanted to hold him In his
arms: and actually desired to take
him out for a stroll. When he found
that he could not do n Of these
things, then he asked q Thousand
questions. Did the Lord have many
little babies in h~eaven?" Was all the
little babies angels?" did all the
Lords little babies have no teeth"
and 80 on.
| Five or six days after the coming Of
the little brother Tommy's pleasure
began to moderate somewhat. The
nurse had told him that he must stay
out of the room II he couldn't keep
quiet. Not an hour passed during the
day but that she would open the door
and balloo, "Sh-sh! Don't make &C
much noise; you'll wake up the baby"
It was not long before Tommy de-
cided that the little brother was more
of a curse than blessing. He
thought he would take his troubles to
his father. One evening he went into
the library and climbed upon his
fathers knee.
Papa" he said, II tell you l don't
want my little baby brother. after all.

WYOMING

OF all Wyoming railroad projects
which have been considered the one in
which Denver Il the most deeply in,
terested is the extension If the Colora-
do and Southern system.
The Colorado and Southern owns
the line running north from Cheyenne
to Grin junction. There is need of a
road from the terminus OF this line to
Lander in The west-central part of
Wyoming, together with numerous
branches connecting it with various
other points Of Increasing commercial
Importance. An extension OF this kind
Is greatly desired by the people OF
Lander and by the livestock growers
who occupy the surrounding range
country. From livestock shipments
alone It would secure q large trafic in
addition to what would grow out of
the development Of other industries.
Some railroad company will seize
the opportunity to ecure the cream OF
this trafic by building lines that will
open up the country and afford an out
let for its products. The Colorado and
Southern could become that road by
building into the Lander field before a
rival secures possession Of the most
available routs.
As part Of every project for the ex-
tension Of the Colombo and Southern
