Deafness Cannot be Cured.

By local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling soun1
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 it's
normal condition. hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall s
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars,

LIE ON LIE sHEEP RANGE
Existence Of the Herder Is Sadly
Lacking in Diversion, But
He Is Well Paid.

-
The journey Of the last two days
has been in the solemn stiffness Of the
forest. Hardly has the soft twitterlng
of a bird broken the Intending silence.
But now the voice or the distant
flocks Is the undertons that fills the
air-it rises and falls in cadences, but
is never still, says the Pacific Monthly.
There, under the shadow of the pines.
Is pitched the herder's tent. Company
is scarce and therefore valuable. and
hardly have his dogs given warning
of a stranger than the one solitsry
figure is strolling towards us. 1t is
quite impossible to forecast the ma
tionality, age, u%pbringing or condition
Of this man. Sheep herding is as
often a refuge as an occupation.
Wages are good, work there is none.
food is found, responsibility sits very
lightly; through six months Of the
year this outdoor life involves no
hardship. If from one to two weeks
end to the next no living man is in
sight to speak to-well, there is the
less chance of quarreling, and the dogs
are ever at hand, and good company
for many hours out of the "a.
But, then, the ever-present sheep.
To rise with the sun, get breakfast
and then follow the big flock as they
slowly feed away from camp. To
hear their everlasting "ba-as," to
smell the ever-present wooliness, to
live, nov and have your being in an
atmosphere of sheep-to walk when
they walk, to stop when they feel dis
posed to rest, to so put in the slowly
passing hours, to accompany them back
10 the neighborhood of camp. and, not
until the flock has gone to bed for good
to feel a moments freedom from their
society. No wonder that. as one sheep
herding friend told me, he was ready
10 bless a wolf or two that broke in
on the monotony of the day by trying
to steal a sheep before his very eyes.
The sheep herder is well armed as
well as well fed. And very often On
the summer ranges he can so manage
the days march of his flock as to
bring in the blessed trout stream
where the fish are rising at the sum
mer flies. One man l know learned
Spanish in the summers herding.
Another found a haven in higher math-
ematics. Several others used their
pocket knives to carve ornanhnts and
k~nicknacks. Books, magazines and
letters are always brought out with
the supply of beans and bacon, coffee
and flour, sugar and tobacco.

DIFFERENT KIND OF PET.
Handsome Young Woman Had Some
thing Better Than Dogs
to Love.

When the thin woman in the long
gray ulster sat down in the subway
car opposite the fat woman holding a
bright little Scotch terrier, it could be
seen at once that they had points OF
common interest, and that these points
of common interest consisted of dogs,
relates the New York Press.
What a dear little fellow he is"
chirped the thin woman.
Isn't he a dear?" cooed tho fat
woman, smuggling her pet so closely
that he had to sniff for breath.
Mine is a French poodle answered
the thin oma II hear those gray
terriers are coming into style, though. 3"
Yes, they're all the rage" said the
fat woman. Il had to give up fifty for
Sandy"
A handsome young woman who oc-
curied the sea- by the hin woman was
an interested listener to the colloquy.
She was g~oOd-looking enough to at
tract attention anywhere, and she
locked as if she loved everything that
was worth loving in this world. in
Guiding dogs. She leaned over and
gave Sandy's head an affectionate pat.
end Sandy tried to lick her gloved
hand.
You love dogs, too?" said the Fat
woman.
"oh, yes" was the reply, who could
help it,"
What kind is yours?" came the
eager query.
Mine? Oh, haven't any. Nine is a
baby"
And the fat woman and the thin
wcman raised their brows, turned up
their noses and grew coldly silent, Just
as If some one had said something to
shock their sense of modesty.
