" \IL to the chief" That par
 ticular line of the patriOti'
 AA hymn certainly applies at
 this season to the national bird-the turkey, and not the eagle. From the sun kissed sands of the gulf to the snow clad mountain crests of Alaska. from the burning deserts of Arizona to the bleak, storm washed rocks of Maine, the turkey is king. Millions of Americans will pay him tribute. On the plain dinner table of the farmhouse, on the silver laden board of the city banker, in the cabin, in the mines and cars whirling along their tracks of steel, beneath the glow of electric lights and the sounds of music floating from behind palms or with the gleam of the tallow dip, the sovereign is the same, proudly resting

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the e :. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu- ttOnal remedies. Deafness ia caused by an in. Eustachian Tube. When this tube is 1nflamed you have rumbl1ng 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 it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever !; nine cases out or ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

"PIea" In the Legal Sense.

In the legal sense the word ''plea" is grossly misused. One reads that the lawyer during a trial delivered an elO- quent plea to the jury" He did noth- ing of the sort. He delivered to the jury an argument or an entreaty that may or may not have been eloquent. A plea is properly used only of the plea dings or arraignments before a trial, not of the argument at the trial A plea is invariably addressed to the court; an 'argument' may be addressed either to the court or the jury. The same applies (still in the legal sense of the wOrds) to the verbs ito plead" and ito argue. New York World.
