The home was at. tractively decorated for the occasion with laurel and peonies. At noon the bridal party entered the room to the strains of the bridal march from "Lohengrip,' with Miss Lucy B.
 Woodward of Hartford at the organ. The bride was dressed in Q travelling suit of old rose shantung, and wore Q hat to match, and carried bouquet of sweet peas At the close of the ceremony Mendelssohn's wedding march was played, while the bride and groom received the congTatu- lations of their friends and relatives. A bountiful collation. was served by Barr of Springfield.

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 constitu. tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in. famed condition Of the mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear. ing, and when 1t is entirely closed. Deafness iE the result, and unless the inflammation can bt taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases out or ten are caused by CatarTh which is nothing but an inflamed condition oi the mucous surfaces

Henry b. Harris will present Edgar
Selwyn's big comedy hit, The Country
Boy, at the Fargo operahouse Thurs
day, Dec. Fl. First presented at the
Liberty theatre, New York. this play
enjoyed a run OF five months, which
was followed by a succession of crowd
ed houses at Powers theatre, Chicago,
for two months. The company that
will be seen here is an unusually
strong one, and has not undergone a
single change since the metropolitan
engagement.
The Country Boy is in four acts and
concerns youth who believes his home
Desiring greater opportunities, he
leaves home, mother, and village
sweetheart to try his luck in New York.
Finally he becomes so desperate
through his failure to find work that
be is ready to end it all, when he is
persuaded by fellow boarder, a news
paper man, to try again, and together
they go back to the country town and
start a newspaper which proves highly
successful.
The humor of the play is provided
by the different types Of boarders that
are to be found at the boarding house
where the country boy lives while in
the city. The scene liz said to be one OF
the cleverest things seen in a play in
many seasons. The excellent company
which Mr.. Harris has provided includes
such well known artists as Alfred
Cooper, Frank Mccormack. Dean Bor-
up, Frank e. Jamison, George Schaef-
fer, Olive Templeton, Edna Furry,
Charlotte Langdon and Nellie Fillmore.

George Barr McCutcheon, the author
might consider some of his other and
later books worthier of the honor. bur
it is fact that artistic creators are in
variabIy bad judges of their own
masterpieces. William Cullen Bryant
wrote Thanatopsis at the age of 1S, and
refused to agree with the world In
considering 1t the gem of his Efforts
superior to the work of his ripper years.
The public estimate, however, is usu-
ally a pretty correct one. The book
sellers ledgers, would undoubtedly
measure In prosaic dollars and cents
the vast amount of the greater popul-
larity of Graustark, not only to Mr..
McCutcheon's other books but to the
novels of any of his contemporaries.
That it should be made into a play
was inevitable, and Geo. D. Baker, the
adaptor, has handled Mr.. McCutcheon's
book with sympathetic discretion, fol-
lowing the story closely. James w.
Castle has brought all his genius as a
director and producer into play with
the result that admirers of the novel
find their pleasure EXCHANGED by wit
