With common impulse the two men
glanced down to the bottom OF the

eyes informed by common inspiration.
Barcus announced In q breath:

Pleasing Husband.

woman living in Wyoming wrote in
part as follows her comment on how
a woman can continue to please her
husband: -
The wise woman is she who keeps
neat and trim in dress. dainty in per.
son and alert and poised In mind. that
In 80 doing she may favorably stand
comparison with the business women
with whom her husband comes in con.
tact.
Most men. even those we'll past
middle age. place high value upon ex-
ternals. and the woman who assumes
that she can hold 4 mans love indefi-
nitely, regardless OF her personal ap-
pearance. is. to my mind, making a
grave mistake.
More than one wife. serene In the
knowledge OF her husbands loyalty.
fails to realize that that same loyalty
Is due moro to the mans sense of duty
and conscientious self-control than to
tho fact that his wife. possesses the
qualities which actually hold him true

That Fact.


On the lower deck of one of our
river packets a little pile OF pig iron
was carried on the trip up the river,
and when the cargo was unloaded the
pig iron was not removed, but was car
ried again on the trip down the river.
When the reason was asked. the an

is true of men aud women. The world

HAD CONFIDENCE IN PEOPLE
California Newsboy Loot Nothing by
Trusting to the Honesty Of
His Customers.

Most people are honest; so, at least,
reasons a newsboy In a California
town. and he has clear Justification for
his confidence. The reporter of the
following incident was In q downtown
drug store when u stranger came in
with copy OF newspaper, and asked
change for a dime. He said that he
wanted to pay for his newspaper.
Someone remarked that for his part
he let the newsboys find their OVID
change.
This newsboy cannot do It," said
the man with the newspaper. Come
out here and look at him" Two or
three bystanders stepped to the door.
expecting to see q crippled boy with q
pile Of newspapers to sell. Instead.
they saw a tin can with a hole In the
top large enough to admit nickel;
a pile Of newspapers lying upon the
walk. and o card fastened to the can.
reading:
"Gone to Sunday school for one
hour. II you want u paper. take one.
and put your nickel in the can"
The can and pile of newspapers
stood unprotected on the walk for
more than an hour. while their little
owner was at Sunday school. Men who
passed by and were attracted by the
rather odd little news stand would
stop. read the sign. pick up paper
and put a nickel-and sometimes o
dime-into the little tin can. When the
boy returned from Sunday school he
found all his newspapers gone. and
more nickels In the tin can than there
were papers. when he left.-Youth's

Chlid's Allowance.

Should boys and girls have their
own allowance. in proportion to the
means OF the parents. as soon as they
are old enough to know the value of
money? This Is what many a parent
has said in substance:
Certainly. An allowance is the
best safeguard against the habit Of ex-
travagarce. II the child is taught to
spend the money judiciously and to
keep a strict account OF all expendi-
lures. II is absurd to think that a boy
is not capable OF buying his own neck
ties or q girl her handkerchiefs. What
II they do make mistakes? They can
be taught to profit by them and they
must learn to rely upon themselves
sooner or later. Children like to be
trusted and will seldom betray conf.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by LOCAL Applications as they CO n
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 inflamed con-
.Ition of the Eustachian. Tibe. When
his tube is inflamed you have IA rum
ling sound or imperfect hearing. 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 condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine casss out Of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an infiamed condition of
he mucous surfaces.
