Man Whose Memory Was Bad.

For more than an hour a witness
for the defense had lodged questions.
His faulty memory was particularly
exasperating for the counsel for the
plaintiff, who was seeking to recall
to the witness recollection an event
Of four Of five years previous. Event
ually the man remembered "some-
thing about it,"
"Ah," continued the lawyer for the
plaintiff, what id you think Of it
at the timer"
Really" said the witness, speak
ing before the lawyer for the defense
had time to interpose objection, ut
was so long ago 1 can't recall exactly
what thought of it,"
"Well," shouted the cross-examin-
er, excitedly, "if you can't recall, tell
us what you think now you thought
then"

SEEK TO VIII SOLDIERS.
Russian Girls Risk Life for the Cause
of Liberty.

when the university opened last
autumn started to work again
among the soldiers" said the young
woman. GAS you know, the revolu
tionists are at present working very
hard to win over the army, and one
of the means is to talk freedom di-
rectly to the soldiers. For this girls
have been found to be more effective
than men; the young peasant soldiers
are more willing to listen to girls,
and are far reader to protect them
from arrest. So all over Russia hun
dreds and hundreds of girls are now
nightly meeting with groups Of SOL
diers, in working mems homes and in
barracks. To go into barracks and
talk revolution to the soldiers, hard
ly anything is so dangerous-for the
girl caught is tried by court-martial

RHEUMATISM RECIPE

A well-known authority on Rheu.
matism gives the readers OF a large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless
prescription, which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll in bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each meal
and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost, and, be-
ing a vegetable extraction, are harm.
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, IL taken reg
ularly for few days, is said to over.

The pain and swelling, IL any, dimin.

results are obtained, and without in.
Turing the stomach. While there are
many so-called Rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, etc., some Of which
do give relief, few really give perma.
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores Of even
the small towns elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
will mix the prescription IL asked to.

Saw II Come Out Of a Cow.

A little city boy and his sister Dor
othy were taken to the country for
the first time.
The two children were happy as
the day was long. In the late after
noon they watched the cows come
home, heard with delight the tink-
ling cow-bells, and the little boy
even went in the barns to see the
milking done.
At supper, just as Dorothy was
lifting her glass to her rosy lips, the
boy cried out:
ooh, Dorothy, don't! You mustn't
drink that milk. It's not fit to drink.
II came out of a COW. Be- saw it,"

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, they cannot reach the dis
eased portion OF the ear. There is only one way to
cure Deafness and that by remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed condition Of the
mucous lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is innamed you have rumbling sound or i'm.
perfect hearing and when It Is entirely closed Deaf
ness Is the result and unless the Inflammation be
taken out and this tube restored TO its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out OF ten are caused by Catarrh which IL nothing
but an infamed condition OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case OF
Deafness lcaused by catarrhl that cannot be cured

sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness Of the fabric is

thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear

BILE can be entirely overcome by using

Wagner as a Curative Agent.

Vernon Lee has told somewhere the
story Of the marvellous effects of Wag-

into kind of dream in which only the
