Here's to launhfer

Here's to laughter, the sunshine Of
the soul, the happiness of the heart,
the leaves of youth, the privilege of
purity, the echo Of innocence, the
treasure of the humble, the wealth of
the poor, the bead of the cup Of pleas

Herald. 1t dispels detection, banishes
blues and mangles melancholy, for it's
the foe of woe, the destroyer of depres-

wit would wither, dimples would disap-
pear and smiles would shrivel, for it's
q glow Of q clean conscience, the voice
Of q pure soul, the birth cry of mirth,
the swan song Of sadness.

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. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inf1amed yon have run-
bling sound or imperfect hearing
and VIXEN it is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's
formal condition, hearing will be
destoyed forever; nine cases out
ten are caused by Catarrh which
is nothing but ar irhamed condi-
tion al the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred
Dollars for any case of Deafness
caused by catarrh that cannot be
curod by Halls Catarrh Cure.

Had to Have "Atmosphere."

! That actors cannot labor without at
moSphere was demonstrated the other
day, when a man went amidst of q
hundred or more idle thespians who
were holding down the curbstone Oh
the Rialto, and said aloud: II want to
hire about 20 men on contract If any
of you men want work, follow me-"
Eighty-seven disengaged thespiars
followed the mysterious stranger to
his sumptuous suite of offices on For
ty-second street, according to the New
York correspondent of the Pittsburgh
Dispatch. There the mysterious
stranger faced the multitude and
said: "Three and a half a day for
you. Will you take it?' "What kind
of show is this?" several actors de-
manded. "All you've got to do is to
push a wheelbarrow across a plank
eight hours day and get three-ffty."
And then they all walked away, NUT
tering grievously and wondering
where, as artists, they were at. The
mysterious stranger was a building
contractor. And because he could not
get wheelbarrow men and sand shov
eiers he was compelled to stop work
ton a skyscraper.

PAINFUL END TO JOY RIDE
unfortunate Happening Caused Drf er
to Think of Resigning From the
, Optimists' Club.

How member of the Optimists'
club got into most disagreeable COM
pany which made him feel the reverse
OF optimistic, is being quietly told. The
optlmist has an automobile and invited
his best girl out for a ride. 1t was a
most pleasant ride for a time on the
roads south of city limits. A cool
breeze was blowing, the auto seemed
to be the only one travelling in those
parts. 1t was dark and the optimist
mad plenty of opportunity to squeeze
the hand Of his girl and to bestow
gentle kiss now and then when the
road was straight. Sometimes there
would be sharp curve, however. and
then the optimist would have to devote
his whole attention to the machine.
On one occasion the optimist divided
MS attention, with dire results. His
subconsciousness told him that there
was curve ahead. He guided The
machine gracefully around the curve
when he noticed he had passed fence
post on either side where farm gate
was dJd1. belOIe uC Coulu put on
the emergency brake there was Il
crash, and then a most alarming cho-
rus of squeals. The auto had run
squarely into pigpen, and the pork
ers cried aloud in their alarm. The
fat swine jolted and rubbed against
the machine in their fright, and when
the commotion was at it's height an
angry farmer reached the scene and
wanted to know "what in the hec,,"
the optimist was doing in his pigpen
AS he silently drove back to town with
battered machine and a ightnnel
