 .-Ths residents of Brooklyn will soon be so accustomed to purchas- ing their needs in the medicinal line on Sunday morning that the drug stores that close part of Sunday af- ternoOn and evening will lose little or no patronage.
 At a meeting yesterday of the committee which is arranging for the annual dance to be given by the Brooklyn Athletic club on Thanksgiving night the details in connection with the event were at tended to and from now on the mem- bers will have little work except to sell tickets. The club will endeavor to make this years the most suc- cessful yet given.
 It was announced at St Pat rick's church yesterday that the forty hours devotion would commence at the church on Sunday, December 9,
 four weeks from yesterday. Fred Lallier was to leave some time during the day for New York whence he would journey to Chicago

 well liked in Brooklyn and he departs for the west with the well wishes
 of his many friends.

 representing his school. Johnson played fullback while at High school | in this city and last season played
 at half for Ottawa. AS the Cana dian game is only slightly different from the American style. he had not
 much difficulty in making good. He
 likes the Canadian game much better
 than Rugby as played in the states. A three-year old youth by the name of Lonegan wandered from his home on John street this morning. When his mother learned the boy had
 strayed away she immediately began
 to search the neishborhood with sev-
 eral of the neighbors. As the boy
 was just about able to walk. the mother was much worried over his
 disappearance.

 Inclement Weather Last Night.

Inclement weather Last Night.
 The new music hall in the Buck ingham building was scene of beauty last evening when the Water- bury lodge of Elks presented the ex- cellent musical program. which has been so much talked about. The attendance more than surprised the members of the lodge because the day and night had been so stormy it was believed but a meager gather ing would be present. The concert was all that had been claimed for 1t in advance. Every number gave the best of satisfaction and the en- cores were frequent and generous. The big new organ was heard for the first time by the majority of those present and under the skillful hands of Professor ]. Laslett Smith the music was most entertaining. Miss Bessie May Goodwin in soprano solos held the interest of her au- dience from her first appearance and she sang so delightfully."- that she was forced to respond to the generous en- core accorded her.

Nor Indians with Indian Pudding

Simeon Ford tells of a woman in
a Chicago hotel who was known
as the most inveterate kicker
the hosiery had ever known.
One evening at dessert, the lady
who was always complaining asked
the waiter why the dish served her
was called ice-cream pudding"
Il you don't like it, ma am, I'll
bring you something else," sug-
gested the polite negro.
"Oh, it's very nice, " responded
the lady. What I object to is that
it should be called ice-cream pud-
ding. It's wrongful named. There
should be ice cream served with
it."
YES, ma am, - replied the wait
er, but that's jest our name for
it. Lots O. dishes that way Dey

Deafness 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 if caused by an inhamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube is finamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed con
sition of the mucous surfaces.

shriveled and elderly frenchman, who,
asked for cerdit. Phe first move
which the cautious merchant made
was to ask the mans name
"Touchette." was the answer.

"Ooi, monsieur, ules Touchette.'

and fearfully approached him.
why, it's the painter gentleman
she exclaimed, with surprise which
was intensified as she saw how motion
less Cyril lay. At first she thought
well, Becca thought that he was in
toxicated, and grew alarmed when
bending over him, she saw that he
had tainted.
Her first idea was to run to the
lodge and call the keeper, Jobson, to
her aid; but she did not do so.
| Eve, the mother of us all, was not
more curious than her daughter Becca,
and Becca's little mind was all agog Lc
discover the reason why the strange
gentleman should have fallen down in
fainting fit in the Court avenue.
So she lmelt down beside the still
form, and with hands that trembled a
little, unfastened his collar, and held
her hand, cold and wet with dew from
the long grass upon his forehead.
He looked very handsome, bec,a
thought, as he lay there and her black,
glittering eyes scanned his face and
clothes minutely.
HAS he been fighting?' she asked
herself, as she noticed the dust and
the rent in his coat
But there were no marks on the
clean-cut, sunburned face, and, still
puzzled. Becca thought that perhaps
he had been knocked down and
robbed
Burglars and footpads were not Of
common occurrence in Santleigh, but
occasionally tramps passed through,
and petty larcenies followed in their
trail
But IL he had been knocked down
and left for dead, his assailants had
left him his watch, for the chain was
slttering in the moonlight.

HOW HE LEARNED TO HUSTLE.

There was a saltwater captain,
who, for reasons of his own, accepted a
berth as first mate in big passenger
steamer on the Great Lakes He was
4 capable seafaring man, but he did
not know what hustle" meant until
he went aboard at Buffalo. The Lake
skipper to whom he reported for duty
remarked in the most casual manner:
Just give her coat of paint this
morning, and if the sun stays hot and
she dries in good shape, give her a
second coat this afternoon"
The saltwater mate staggered in
his tracks and made amazed protest
This was a five thousand ton vessel,
and giving her two coats of paint was
several days work, by his reckoning.
The Lake skipper was person of dis
.cernment, wherefore he had pity on
his new mate and forebore to deal
harshly with him, explaining with =
tolerant grin:
"All right. | suppose you'll have to
learn to move lively after snoozins
around salt water all your life. You
Just pass that order along to the
bos'n and tell him IT'S got to be done,
and then you So up and take notice. I"
The bos n took the order calmly.
as il it were in the days work, and by
nightfall the big steamer was spick
and span with two coats of paint from
her water-line to her guard-rail. The
sailor from deep water had learned
his first lesson in the ways of the
Great Lakes during the navigation
season, when the hard-driven shipping
must be forced to do twelve months
work in half year-Ralph D.

CHRISTMAS BELLS.

Their old. familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
OF peace on earth good win to men,
And thought how, as the day had

The belfries of all Christendom

The unbroken song
OF peace on earth, good will to mon,
Till ringing, singing on its way.

A chant sublime

But in despair | bowed my head.
There is no peace on earth,'' | said.

And mocks the song

CHAPTER XIII.

Becca, looking round swiftly, took
the watch from his pocket and looked
at 1t. 1t was a handsome one, with a.
monogram which puzzled her and
which few persons could have olsen
tangled She put the watch to her
ear, turned the key--1yril wondered
the next day what on earth had come
to his frst,class leverl-and then put
1t back in its place. AS she did SO
she caught sight of envelope in the
breast pocket of his coat. She nut
her hand in and took it out, and. look
ing round again warily, read 1t by the

much in 1t to satisfy her burning curl

Of course Becca could not unde~.
stand the latter part of the note but
the earlier made her prick up her ears.
The handsome gentleman was not
only amusing himself by painting
pictures, but getting hundred pounds
| for one!
She looked for more letters. but
could not find any; in fact, there was
nothing else to reward her search but
faded dusty rose, which she found
between his waistcoat and his shirt,
lying upon his heart, indeed.
She looked at this with a puzzled
frown on her warm, classical brow,
then with little smile put it back.
In doing so she touched his arm
and the pain caused him to come to.
His eyes opened and his lips moved,
and Becca, bending down her head
heard him murmur a name.
"Norahl"
Her eyes lighted and her face
flushed. She had discovered some.
thing, at any rate. TINS handsome
ycung stranger was in love with her
