Briefly, the case was this: Adam

had died, and the week following dis
his note for thirty-five thousand dol
lars, due on demand, for a half inter-
est in a patent of no value, hawked
around the market unsuccessfully for
some years. The promoter showed
also a signed agreement proving the
stenOgrapher and notary public, Miss
Elsa Deane.
There was no doubt but that Mr..
Moore had held some correspondence
with the promoter, but the daughter
and legatee of Mr. Moore declared that
upon the day note and agreement were
dated, her father was autOmObiling

Tempting Natives to Work.

Tempting natives of British New
Guinea to work was a process which
was explained during the hearing of
a case in London recently. A man who
has lived many years there said that
he had solved very difficult labor
problem in New Guinea. The men
could not be tempted to work for
money, and he hit upon the idea of of
fering them beads, gaudy cloths, dogs
teeth and musical instruments. To get
these they worked for twelvemonrh
and then induced others to do likewise.

she asked bevy of damsels one day,
when one of them spitefully replied:
Because he came out here looking
spruce and young, and went on till all
the girls got interested in him, and
then he up and sent for you. And
that was the first we knew that he was
married! Mean? / guess SOL"

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CANNOT
BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
catarrhal deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
deafness is caused by an infiamed
condition of the mucous lining OF
the eustachian tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbl-
ing sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness
is the result. Unless the infamma-
ton can be reduced and this tubs
restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever.
Many cases of deafness are caused
by catarrh, which is an fnflamed
of the mucous surfaces.
Halls Catarrh Medicine acts
through the blood on the mucous
surfaces Of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case Of Catarrhal Deaf
ness that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Medicine. Circulars free.
