The Mystery Solved.

The residents of Iincklcy were
much excited. During the night
wheel-shaped disc had rolled down
the Main street hill, cutting great
swaths in the cement side walks. Then
it pirOuetted through a plate glass
window, knocked over safe and land
ed upside down on the floor OF the
mayors Office.
Bings, the gcologist, raped on the
peculiar disc with his knife handle and
declared IL a sub-sLrata from some
distant star. Banks, the fish mcr-
chant, had an idea that the wonderful
object was OF crustaccan origin, sub
stance that had ossitied and hardened
into ilnty formation.
Hanks, the undertaken, thought it
might be a rosette from the metal
casket OF Ptolemy the First, worked
loose by the integration Of time.
Punderton, the liveryman, was tlrm
in the belief that the disc was moth
ing more nor less than a petritled rub
ber pad from the shoe OF Pegasus. He
, offered to bet Il dollar that he was
right, but as no one seemed able to
decide the bet the offer was not COW
cred.
Hanks was just about to express his
opinion that it was curling-stone
from the course of the Anthropophagi /
when young Mr.. Adams came dashing
into the bank. Grabbing the disc, he
cried, angrily:
"What do you fellows mean by
mussing up my wife's first pie that
way ?''
Hugging the precious bit of culina-
ry art to his bosom he sped rapidly to
the brow Of the hill where he relea sed
the pie and let it roll happily home to
its makcr.-Uncle BY.

North Pole. In fact, | didn't go north

As becomes an industrial city,
Pueblo will have a monster Industrial
Parade in the forenoon Of July iih. as
part OF the general big celebration TO
be held in that city. Already sc"r"s
OF leading Pueblo manufacturers aud
merchants have signed to prepare
elaborate floats. and the interest al
ready displayed gives assurance that
this will Oc one of the biggest features
of the kind ever known in this section
OF the country. II is well for the
benefit OF Colorado and the West that
an industrial metropolis like Pueblo,
has come into existence and is forging
forward with such energy, when many
sections of the country are feeling the
quiet OF dull times.
In the big Parade there will be a
large Floral section, induced by the
offer Of liberal prizes, for the best
decorated private vehicles and auto
mobiles. This will add a touch OF
color and brilliancy to the occasion
such as cannot fail to be very pleasing.
In the afternoon the Pueblo cele-
bration will center in the State Fair
Grounds, where Mammoth Free
Barbecue will be held and numerous
features of entertainment be given,
including Horse Races, Automobile
Races, Athletics, etc. An admission
fee of so cents for adults and % cents
for children will be charged at the
grounds, all profits to be for the bene-

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucuous
lining of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of. ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of deafness (caused
by catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars free. F. J. Cheney & Co., Tole-
