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 mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is infamed 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 its normal COLI
dition, hearing will he destroyed for
ever; nine cases out Of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamcd condition 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 Cure. Send for circu-
lars free. f. j. Cheney &c Co.,

During the Spanish-American war
many of our soldiers suffered severe

bowels, due in most cases to the
change of climate and the water they
were obliged to drink.

THE LIEN Law LESSON.
A Newspaper Gives Good Advice to
the Farmers.

q The Yorkville Enquirer thinks 1t
is possible that the lien law. will
never be repealed; that at it's next
session the present General Assembly
will repeal the act By which the law
is to come off the statute books next
January, but says it would not adj
wise anybody to presume upon such
contingency
The Enquirer then proceeds to
preach this wholesome sermon:
in view Of the fact that this law
~ been a subject of controversy
for more than forty years, we think
1t will be safest for every individual
farmer to consider the repeal bill as
final, and that there will be no more
of the lien business after This year
A word to the wise is sufficient.
Nov, suppose we assume as a
fact that there will be no lien busi-
ness next year, what is the best thing
for the farmer to do in the circum-
stances? We can suggest nothing
better than that every farmer pre-
pare himself as well as possible, to
do without the lien law, and put
himself in a position to reap such
advantages as may come.
''The basic idea of the lien law
was to provide means whereby pros
pective renters and croppers could
procure corn and meat. OF course
the means provided was extended to
include every other commodity from
clothes to candy and top buggies,
but corn and meat were the main
things.
THE cutting out Of the lien law
does not mean the cutting out of
'9$b'n and meat. These things cannot
be cut out. They will be just as nee
essary next year as they were last
year or any other year durin., which
the lien law has been in existence,
and the thing, therefore, for every
farmer to do this year is to put in
as much Of his effort as possible in
providing corn and meat.
1--WE do not ike to be in the po-
sition Of attempting to prophesy, for
we know nothing about the future;
but as we see things there is moth
ing else for 1t than that there will
be more pressing demand for corn
ana meat next year than there has
been for years and years, and that
the prices for these commodities will
ue higher in comparison with other
things than they have been for quite
long time.

thought to herself.
Without answering his query Mabel
lifted to his face her serious eyes, and,
looking at him questioningly, she said:
Herbert, you are not we'll. Is any

I mot we'll! Nonsensey' he replied
hastily. Il am perfectly well. What

II don't know" she answered, "but
seeing you just now so unexpectedly
and lying down on the ground, as if
you were resting, made me think per-
haps you were not well.
'No, Mabel" he answered, looking
at his wife as she stood before him
with her hands filled with the flowers
she had gathered. "No, Mabel; I am
just growing old, suppose. That
must be what you feel, what you no.
tice about me. Poor cFAa, it is May

I am too old for you. 1 should never

II have noticed for some little time
how quiet and changed you are from
the happy, light hearted girl married.
It is natural and all my fault, for

ended
Nonsense, Herbert Why do you
talk of being old? You are not DID,
she answered.
But Herbert, taking Mabel's hands.
still filled with her flowers, in both Of
his own, stood tall and straight and
broad shouldered before her as he said
very seriously:
mabel, it is like you in your kind
heartedness to try to convince me that
you are not we'll aware Of the too
great difference between us-between
our ages. You have tried to be gay

you rouse yourself from what l knew

mains that you are not happy, and, as
I said before, the trouble Is that you
are in the springtime Of life, and l.
we'll, I have passed into the cold and
loneliness Of winter"
Dropping her flowers unheeded tc
the ground, Mabel came close to he1
husbands side, and, putting both
hands on his shoulders. she looked up
into his eyes as she said:
"My husband, do you not know why
I have been more quiet perhaps than
used to be? It was because I thought
you found me silly and frivolous and
too young to be your companion.

whether you are forty or sixty OF
eighty or hundred. What difference
does it make, the years that are past:
Come; it is the springtime. We will
