These humcrS get into the
blood through a deranged or inactive
condition Of the system. Those
members whose duty it is to collect
and expel the refuse matter of the
body fail TO properly do their work,
and this surplus or waste matter is
left in the system to sour and fer
ment and be absorbed into the
blood. There are also certain
other humorS which get into the
blood from without. The Juice or
milk from poisonous plants, such
as poison oak, poison ivy, nettle
rash, etc., enters through the open
pores of the skin and takes root in
the blood. This causes breaking
out which remains for time and
then disappears, but returns at
certain seasons of each wear.

Auto Hits Delivery Wagon.-A col
Iision between an automobile and de-
livery wagon occurred yesterday on
Fifth and Harrison streets, and what
for few moments lool-ed very much
like a serious accident resulted very
fortunately for the participants. Harry
Carey, the driver for Leas Lingafelt,
the grocer, was driving along Harrison
street, when Dick Schricker in his fine
big touring car swung around the cor
ner and crashed into the end of the
wagon, upsetting the vehicle and lift
ing the lad from the seat. Besides mix
ing some hen fruit among a quantity
of flour and strawberries and other
delicacies, and turning over the wag-
on, and puncturing one tire of the au-
tomobile, the accident was attended by
no other results.

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 inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus.
tachian Tube. When this tube is infam'
ed you have rurnbling 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 catarrh
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cnre. Send for circulars free.

TREAT FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
Eighty. two Juveniles Participate in Dance
Given Them at the Opera House.

A most delightful treat was en-
joyed by eighty-two members OF
Brownsville's juvenile society Fri
day evening, at the dance given at
the opera house for them by that
tireless friend of the children, Miss
NJ. E. Duffy. There we're quite a
number of grown-upS present, as
chaperons for the children. The
hall was decorated handsomely in
red, white and blue, the decora-
tons being the same as those
used for the leap year dance,
which enhanced greatly the
beauty of the ball room, and made
it almost like a scene from fairy
land, when the four score daintily
dressed little dancers were on the
floor. Excellent music was furnish
ed by the Ausaldua band. The
opening grand march was led very
successfully by little Miss Ethel
Neale and Master Augustine Ce-
laya. This was followed by num-
erous round dances and several
more marches. which the children
seem to prefer.
The chief features, however,
were the cake walks. one for the
girls and one for the boys III which
about twelve participated. The
execution of the walk was greatly
admired, aud the little dancers
showed excellent training. A cake
was offered as a prize for the best
cake walkist, but the decision of
the judges of the girls contest was
that all had acquitted themselves
with equal grace, and the cake was
equally divided among them. In
the boys cake walk, the winner
was Master Teohlo Crixell, whose
skill and grace were rewarded by
the gift of handsome cake.
The refreshments were simple
and dainty, being appropriate for
children, and iced lemonade was
served throughout the evening.
The children danced until mid
night, although many were taken
home by wise mothers at an early
hour. Afterwards. the grown-ups
had the privilege of the floor and
continued dancing until about
half past one.
Many thanks were showered up
on Miss Duffy for her kind thought
fulness in giving the children SO
much pleasure. Among those who
assisted her in preparing refresh
ments and entertaining the child
rem should be mentioned Mrs.
Lcew, Mrs. Hamilton, Mrs. Aug.
Celaya, Misses Susan Putegnat,
May Seaman, Anna Kennedy and
Eta Kowalski.
The children participating were
too numerous for the reporter to
obtain the names of all. They in
cluded the Juvenile members OF
many of the leading families oil
Brownsville, and the spectators in
cluded many members of the same
families.

IT is one thing to make laws and
another to enforce them. A whole
'Vorfme of statutes will be OF no
avail, if they may be broken as
easily and with as little conse-
,suence as in the case of the San An
tonic BARRIERS, who plead guilty to
openly breaking the law and are
acquitted by a justice who seems
10 think that laws are made but to
be broken. The barber pleads that
he is obliged to work on Sunday,
in order to make a living. The
merchants might make the same
plea with equally as good grounds,
and the result would be that the
Sunday law would soon be dead
letter.

WONDERFUL LOVE or MUSIC

WONDERFUL LOVE or MUSIC
 The pink. bediamoned ears of New York's richest and most beautiful 'wom- en had been charmed, on this particular evening, by the music of the worlds greatest singers.
 Out from the theater they came, and though the rain was falling, they passed dry, under the shelter of the great avn ing to their carriages and limousines, and were whisked to their palaces.
 Diamonds and music have mingled.
 Here's parlor in small flat The young people have talked themselves dry of common themes; it's tiring to be nice and artificial whole evening. The pretty hostess, working girl, knows the next move, She strikes chord on the piano. Her guests are charmed into naturalness as she plays the latest song.
 SSi&hhVhpAd>c SVoeAooo a4ia NhheS have mingled with music.

 Sounds of music coming from saloon door, have drawing power that not even the rays of light and the signs of warmth would exert on the young man, whose shadow is cast on the wet side walk, as he hesitates at the entrance, longing for comradeship.
 *sS#
 The benches in Madison square are empty tonight.
 Over under the canopy before that tall building you'll find, sheltered in the entrance, the hapless men and women who can't go to bed on the park seats until 1t stops raining.
 A young fellow, with the collar of his ragged coat upturned, his hands in his pockets, looks up at the sky, through the ravine of building walls. Though rift in the clouds he catches gleam of a star.
 From somewhere within him that star brings to his puckered lips strain of Tannhauser's "oh, thou sublime, sweet evening starr
 Someone else takes np the whistle. A taIl, ragged man huns the air. A painted woman of the streets sings 1t just little bit. The tall man is encour. aged; his trained ear tells him the wom- an really knows the song. He sings too, with assurance. Another joins in, and away back in the darkness of the en- trance, there rises another mans voice, sweet, clear, commanding.
 This really happened one night in New York.
 A full quartet of able singers just nat uraliy picked itself out of that motley crowd, like four chips might be tossed together on whirlpool in brook They sang and sang and sang. Their hearers applauded them just as the be- jeweled hearers, at a more decent hour of the night, had appiauded the world 6 greatest singers. Homeless, bedless, penniless, foodless, they were, but not hopeless. Where there is music there is hope. Even the dirge speaks only of sorrov.
 Misery and music mingled in the rain and darkness.

 Human life never ends; somebody is always alive. Did it ever seem to you that you were like a bead, strung on this thread of life; that some day you will be pushed of at the other end by crowding other beads and crowding years7
 Wen, life is something like that. We may be big, round, beautiful beads, or little, rough, unfinished ones, the string Is always the same.
 And one strand of this string that supports us all, big beads and little, in God s mysterious necklace, is music.

 Hundreds of thousands of people in this nation voted in the last election under the influence of the fear of ghosts in which they did not believe.
 No sensible man believes that the Dingley schedules add fraction of a cent to the price of farm staples. But the ghost of 20-cent corn was conjured up to walk if tariff revision won. The farmers didn't believe in the ghost-but they were afraid of it.
 No sensible person now believes that our manufacturers need protection as infant industries" any longer, or that any foreign nation can produce on the whole any cheaper than We can, or that lowering of the Dingley schedules would throw wage workers out of jobs. But the ghost of amokeless chimneys as con jured to walk if the tariff wall was low. cred, and though the workingman was quite sure he didn t believe in the ghost he was afraid of 1t. So, against his own belief, against the Gompers pleadings for the rights of union labor, the work ingman voted for Cannonism in the in- terests of his job, which he didn't be- lieve to be threatened, but feared for.
 In, the midst of a panic depression the ghost of panic was invoked, and though the business man never for a moment believed in a'panic, no matter who was elected, he was afraid of 1t.
 The fear of ghosts in which We do not believe makes governing this nation pie for Cannon, Dalzell, Payneand Ald- rich. It takes superstition long time to die--so graft remains good.
