Mirrors as Detectives,

1T Is not solely to please the lady
patrons" said an interior decorator,
"that mirrors so abound in shops. They
serve another and more important pur-
pose. They help detect shoplifters.
If you should study the various watch
ers in the employ Of big retail stores
you would find that they don't watch
the patrons directly. They look at
their reflections in the mirrors. OF
course their watching done that way is
unperceived. The shoplifter glances at
the watcher, sees that his back Is to
her and secretes pair of silk stock
ings in her shirt waist. The next mo-
ment she feels an unfriendly and ter
rifying tap on her shoulder, and the
watcher, who has caught her by the
mirrors aid, bids her sternly to &C.
company, him to the office."-New York

Whore tho Flowers Came From,

'There was teacher, teaching in 8
very poor nelghborhood," said a New
York settlement worker, "who received
daily gifts of flowers from one of, he1
pupils, a ragged little boy. The flow.
ers were of all sorts, sometimes costly
dollhouse blooms, sometimes simple, old
fashioned garden flowers. AS a rule
they were somewhat faded. One day
the boy brought the teacher a great
bouquet of mauve orchids. To be sure
they were much wllted, but none the
less it could be seen that they had once
cost great deal Of money. The puz.
zled teacher as she took them said: i.
Jimmy, where do you, get all these
flowers that you give me? You don't
steal them, I hope 4

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 is caused by an infamed con'
dition of the mucous lining Of the Eus'
tachian Tube. When this tube is infam'
ed YOU have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation 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 condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrhl
that cannot be cured by Halls CatArrh

Train No. II, which goes east from
Augusta at 2.22 in the Afternoon. was
brought almost to a standstill yester-
day as It reached the lower end of the
station because of a small boy who ran
out on the track in front of the loco
motive. and had it not been for the
watchfulness of the engineer a tragedy
might have been enacted. The train
was on time and was coming in at the
usual rate of speed. and as the locomo-
tive passed the Winthrop street cross
ing boy ran out onto the track a
short distance ahead of the train. The
act was seen by few except the engi-
neer, but he set the emergency brake
and the youngster escaped unframed.
The sudden stopping of the train
caused a great deal Of wonderment
among the passengers, but few knew
the cause.
