HIS GREAT LUCK.-Insurance Com
missioner r. E. Folk of Tennessee
was talking the other day about the
humor Of the insurance business.
1T Is a CHASTITY humor," he said
because it hinges on death. Never
theless, there Is a great deal Of It.
Every insurance agent has some odd
and new story to relate.
"One agent told me yesterday how
he had met that morning a friend In
a feeble condition, his face pallid, his
eyes dull and his figure shrunken.
"'What is the matter with you, Her
bert? the agent said.
al am in luck Herbert answered.
My boy, I am in great luck
How So? asked the agent.
why said the other, your COM
panys medical examiner passed me
only two months ago. and now my doc
tor tells me I have an incurable dis
ease. How is that for luck% %"-Balti-

Deafness Cannot 30 Cured.

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition Of the mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When
tins tube is inflaned you have rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness Is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; niEe
cases out Of ten they are caused by
catarrh. which is nothing but an In
famed condition Of the mucous sur

New Move In Athletics.

In order to prevent pot hunting ex-
peditions abroad on the part of Amer
lean athletes the American authorities
have framed a new rule. 1t provides
that every man who goes abroad to
compete must receive the permission of
the Amateur Athletic union. state what
meets he will contest in and on his re-
turn file list of his prizes. expenses
and the source from which his expense
mon was received.
A reciprocal arrangement has been
perfected by which all foreign athletes
who compete in this country must have
cards signifying their good standing In
the amateur organizations of their own
land.
Thus far this season the following
men have been given permission to
compete abroad:
John B. Taylor, Jr.; Edward 8. Am
sler and r. L. Olsen. University Of
Pennsylvania; j. L. McGucken. Banks
Business college. Philadelphia. and
