The Tactful SuitOr.

A youth in Trenton whose devotion
to the young woman of his choice has

his long courtship, recently sought
her out with this apparently encour-

the other day, and while he wouldn't
exactly give his consent rather i'm
agine I've made some Roadway. He
borrowed $40 of me. Surely he can't
stand me off much longer after that?"
The young woman sighed. eyes,

it. Father mentioned the $40 and re-
marked that I'd better give you up
you were too easy. "-Harper's

Loathing For Snakes Forces
Bridegroom to Move Home

New York, July.-So great is his

Chicago, finds it necessary to leave
his native land and live in a country

easy to choose that favored land.
There is only one. st. Patrick at

Cost of Advertising.

The unawake merchant often won
derS how some rival "can afford to
spend SO much money for advertis-
ing He is sure that he could not,
that il would bankrupt him in short
order to plunge" into publicity on
the scale that the other fellow does.
"The other fellow" is not worry
ing over the cost of his advertising
for the simple reason that he doesn't
have to pay il, The competitor who
cannot afford to advertise, really,
in effect, pays the bills of the man
who can afford" it,
He pays them in the loss of bust
ness caused by his failure to adver-
tiSe. The business he ought to have,
his share of the trade in his line
goes in large part, to the competitor
who seeks it, who can afford to adj
vertiSe for it, The profits on the
trade drawn away from the timid adj
vertiSer by the aggressive one pays
the latter'S advertising bill, and then
leaves a comfortable surplus.
That is fact which progressive
merchants are proving all the time,
so it ought to have some personal
significance to the overwillng to oct
rich before "risking" adequate adj
vertiSing campaigns. Think it over,
Mr.. Nonadvertiser.-EX.
Here is something that every far
mer should know: Sprinkle lime
in your stock tank and not partical

When lime loses its strength scum
will begin to form, which may be
twice during the season; then wash
out the tank and repeat the dose. 1t
is cheap, not only harmless but
wholesome, keeps the water sweet

BOYS.

The editor of the Globe likes boys.
They are so often abused uniustly.
And he often regrets that he hasn't
the power to emphasize this fact: A
boy can have a better time as a polite
and well-behaved boy than as rough.
Having passed through the mill, we
know, when we were a boy, we did
so many unnecessary foolish things
that we spend most of our time now
in bluShing. Here is one thing that
boys can think of with profit: Good
boys are always admired. By a good
boy we do not mean a sissy or a mol
lycoddle. A good boy can have a
better time than boy whose parents
are always worrying about him.
There is nothing which promises a
good time that a good boy may not
do. The mean things boys do always
cause them trouble. And we firmly
believe that boys are getting better
all the time, Yesterday we witness
ed a boy ball game, without hearing
an oath or rough word. A boy should
always bear his future in mind. he is
rapidly becoming man, and it is I'M
to become an unsuccess-
full man. Therefore boys should re-
member that good boys are the first
to be offered positions, Employers
are always contending with each 9TH
er for the good boys, But employers
always say of a boy with bad repu-
tation: "He isn't worth powder and
lead to blow him up. "-Atchison

The Farm Boy.

Where can a boy derive the great
est real pleasure?
That depends upon many things
chief of which are the boy, his incli-
nations and circumstances. On the
farm the great diversity of interests
and employments-while not afford
ing the exciting diversions of city and
town-do furnish wholesome recrea-
ton, helpful experience and character
nurturing that are undeniably good
for the boy, the future man and the
state and nation of which he will be
an importent component.
The well known journalist and lee
turer, Charles Dudley Warner, dedi-
Gates this eloquent apostrophe to the
boy:
-"One of the best things in the world
to be is a boy; it requires no expert
ence, though it needs some practice
to be good one. The disadvantage
of the position is that it does not last
long enough; it is soon over; Just as
you get used TO being a boy, you
have to be something else, with a
good deal more work to do and not
half So much fun. And yet every
boy is anxious to be a man, and is
very uneasy with the restrictions that
are put upon him as a boy. Say what
you will about the general usefulness
OF boys, it is my Impression that a
farm without a boy would very soon
come to grief. What the boy does is
the life of the farm. He is the facto-
tum, always expected to do the
thousand indispensable things that
nobody else will do. Upon him fall
all the odds and ends, the most diff
cult things. After everybody else is
through he has to finish up. Rural
list.

Furthermore, the use Of the prayer

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 its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; 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 Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

The Indianapolis News says:
There is good neal of hypocrisy in
the demand for free paper, precisely
the same sort of hypocrisy that there
is in the demand for taxed paper. For
many of the newspapers that want to
be relieved Of this burden are old
time protectionist sheets, which even
yet favor high duties on everything
else. Of course, they have no influ-
ence and deserve to have none. II is
no worse to tax newspapers for the
benefit of the paper makers than it is
to tax private citizens for the benefit
OF the steel or sugar trust. On the
whole we have rather enjoyed the
writings of brethren who have for
years been fighting for protection.
But, nevertheless, paper ought to be
free.
