Obituary.

Myria, daughter of Perry and Nina
Burkett, was born August %, 1904,
and departed this life December "a,
1907, making her stay here on earth
three years, four months and one day.
Little Myria was i'll only a few days
and all that the skilled physician,
kind neighbors and friends could do
was all in vain. The Angel of heaven
decended and bore our loved one
away, where. there is no sickness,
pain or death. She was laid to rest
in the Mt. Ebal cemetery to await
the resurrection.
She is happy now forever,
All her sufferings are o'er;
And with smiling face she's waiting,
For the dear ones on that shore.
Let not your hearts be troubled,
Bereaved ones left 80 lone;
Thy darling is safe with Him on high,
She bade you not to mourn.
Her Uncle, J. W. B.

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 inf1amed con-
dition Of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect, and when it is entirely closed
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 Cararrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition Of mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness tcaused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

The truth k. f,.f,- N.,, ;eHaHras aas q great advautS-e over sanity
 sanity Is always carr.ess. Madness, |, always careful. There Is d great Gca of falsehood in the notion that truti must necessarily prevail. There Is thi- falsehood to start with that If mal has got the truth he is generally happy
 And if he is happy he is general, lazy. The inceSsant activity, the eXag Scratel intelligence, generally belong 10 those who are little wrong and Just q little right The whole advau tage of those who think that Bacon wrote Shakespeare. says Gilbert J. Chesterton. writing ln the Illustrated London News, lies simply in the fact that they care whether Bacon wrote Shakespeare. The whole disadvantage of those who do not think it lies in the fact that they do not care about it The sane man who is sane enough to see that Shakespeare wrote Shake speare is tho man who is sane enouRh noS to worry whether be did or not.

The Su{fsd Cuf Chest

"The putted out chest ls a deluSloh which has succumbed to scientific know ledge of the human body" said drill officer Tt came into existence purely for show reasons or from false analogy. It was seen that men deep in the chest were strong men, and the old drill sergeants probably imaCin that by making men throw out their chests they would make them strong as we'll as make them look strong which Is q complete mistake. Instead of strengthening man. pulling his chest tends to weaken him. as 1! throws a strain upon the heart. We uow tell men to be sure and not puff out their chests. If you puff out your chest and do dumbhell exercise yon are to hold the breath That strains the heart Any exercise tbat prevents breathing freely Is bad Knotted mus cles are also wrong You see a man with immense chest muscles and per. haps you think he is really an ideally trained man. but such muscles sifnpl! bind the chest and tie the heart down.

They Wouldn't Salute.

Black Jack Percival, who was a na. val captain in the old days, once brought cargo of Spanish jacks home tn a man-of war. He was in Spanish waters when the jacks were given to the United States by Spain and was ordered to bring them out in his ship It made him angry, but he got the beasts aboard and sailed for New York When he came through the Narrows the guns had been rolled back, and out of every port there stuck jacks head Thus decked out and without salute he came to his anchorage. The admiral commanding sent posthaste to de- mand why Captain Percival had not saluted. 'I didn't salute" was the doughty captains answer, "because l couldn't. I had two men twisting er cry jacks tail. but not b'anketed ons of them would bray"

Of Bishop Short. who held the see of St. Asaph. many curious stories are told. Occasionally he put questions to candidates for ordination that appar netly had no connection with the dis charge of their parochial duties. They tested probably their wit or tact, two necessary qualifications to public men, but nothing more. One sucb question proposed by the bishop ---.s the foa, lowing: (Which has the greatest mum Der of legs. d cat or no cat|
 AS might be expected, this created Il litter, but the bishop would not take a laugh as the answer. and consequently he repeated the question and desired some one to solve the problem. At last one of the candidates, smiling, said, q should think, my lord, cat"
 "No,' retorted the bishop; "there you are wrong. for cat has four legs, aud DO cat has five. ."-London Telegra ph
