Alertness Required

To talk about the weather
Is a gift that some despise.
'Tis assumed that anybody
Can be ready. If he tries,
With remarks on fair or cloudy"
And the threats on rain or snow"
Which. IL not entirely novel.
Are distinctly apropos.
And yet the shifting. climate,
While you murmur IT'S quite warm,
May leave you looking foolish.
AS it bursts into storm.
It isn't everybody
Who can learn to do the trick;
When you're talking of the weather
You must say it mighty Quick!

Lie is a Funny Proposition After Ali

The following bit of pleasantly was
handed us late yesterday with Il request
for publication. Though somewhat
musty with age, it is still pretty good:
Man comes into this world without
his consent and against his will
During his stay on earth his time is
spent III one continuous round of con-
traries and misunderstanding In his
infancy he is an angel in his boyhood
he is devil; in his manhood he is eve
rything from a lizard up; in his duties
he is dam fool; if he raises family
he is chump; if he raises check, he
is thief, and then the law raises hell
with him; if he is a poor man, he is
poor manager and has no sense; if he
81 rich he is dishonest but consid-
cred smart; if he is in politics, he
is IL CRATER and crook If he
is out of politics, you can't place
him as he is IAN undesirable" citizen; if
he goes to church, he is a sinner: if he
donates to foreign missions he does it
for show; if he doesn't, hei is stingy and q
tight wad." When he first comes into
the world, everybody wants to kiss him;
before he goes out everybody wants to
kick him. IF he dies young, there was
a great future before him; if he lives to
a ripe old age, he is in the way, only
living to save funeral expenses.

Deafness Cannob 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
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed YOU have
u rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing; and when it Is entirely closed
Deafness Is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can lie taken out and
this tube restored To It's normal con-
dition, hearing will he destroyed for
ever: nine cases out Of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces,
