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 constitutional remedies
DEAFNESS is caused by an inf1amed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have run1b1ing sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, deafness is the result, and unless
the inflamn alton can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal condition
hearing viii be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed condi
ton OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrhl
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars free.

to Kill Her.
Lottie Mcdonald OF Duluth, a pretty
girl of eighteen years, administered
sound beating to Ernest Found
when he tried to murder her after she
had refused to marry him and then
turned him over to the police.
Found went to the girls room, after
arming himself, and for the seventh
time in as many days asked her to
become his wife, adding: IF you say
no we both go together" AT the same
time he pulled a revolver and ex.
planned that unless his suit was sue
cessful he intended to kill her and
himself.
The girl again refused and as he
raised the gun she landed a stiff right
on the point of his chin, ungallantly
kicked him after he went down and
took the revolver away. Then she
called the police

Sealing Wax.

Sealing wax in the present form was
first noted in London in the middle OF
the sixteenth century. A sort Of earth
was used by the ancient Egyptians in
sealing papers and documents. The
Egyptians placed such earth on the
horns Of cattle, and upon it was stamp
ed the seal OF the priest. Thus were
identified the cattle to be used in the
sacrifices.

a distant figure in the sky. and just
to see him in the air the pyramids
were built so high. He knew the
principle of fight before the world
began to turn. and has forgotten
more than Wright and all the rest
of them will learn.
January gets its name from Janus,
the celebrated two-faced god of the
Romans. It was said of Janus that
he could see things both coming and
going, and he was therefore placed OIL
guard at the beginning of the year.
Up to that time the year had begun
with March, but after Caesar took
ireland, the Irish insisted upon having
St. Patrick day showed along where
it would not be too cold to march,
and Caesar made January the begin
ming of the year. This occasioned d
great uprising in Rome, where the
year had always begun in March, and
Caesars defense before the Pillar of
Pompey is considered to have been the
finest oratorical effort of his career.
He told the people that in doing this
for the Irish he had probably fore
stalled movement for home rule,
which reconciled everybody at once,
and no more was heard of it.
The clumsy calendar will turn
Upon its axis in the night,
And legislatures will concern
Themselves with what is just and
right.
The practical reformer's kick
For longer bed sheets will ascend,
And the wags will counsel him to
stick
His head out at the other end.
If all the remedies proposed in
January ever passed, the current
comedies would close for being easily
outclassed. We'd have to call the
army out to see the statutes were
obeyed, and people following about
would make lapghable parade.
We'd clap railroad man in jail
for looking cross-eyed at a fare. and
county butter going stale would Jail
a farmer anywhere. The blondes
would have to marry blondes, the
shorts could never marry tails, and
men would have to 90 to the bonds of
people wearing overhauls.
A legislature inst convened is far
more terrible than food. and only
fate has intervened to keep our name
from being mud. We've ha projected
at US things which hitting us had
lain US dead, and every January
brings its grave and seasonable
dread.
And what with new men moving in.
And predecessors moving out.
The month will echo with the din
Of passing victory and out.
A politician in the van
Is not by that sign, strange to tell,
A happy and contented man,
There being moving vans as well.
Tie very thunder of their wheels
will shake the planet later on. and
many men we're giving meals Will
see the privilege withdrawn. The
hungry Democrat will sit and bid the
country pass the hash. and the people
rendered fat with it will face the
grocery for cash.
There is no other ready means Of
making certain justice bats that
equals turning in the leans and there
by turning out the fats. If we Am
erians were wise enough to keep il
up, perhaps. we'd all be uniform in
size and handy, like the little Japs.
We would not see lot of dang Re.
publicians who I'll door. and rangy
Democrats who hang around like pep.
