DEFECTS IN "CANNED" SONGS
Vocalists Do Not Break Down on Top
Notes and No One Shouts "Amen,"
Comments Countryman.

He was a plain, old-fashiOned cOun-
tryman without no frills," as he often
proudly boasted. He lamented the
passing of the old cottage organ, ear
hobs and coal Oil lamps and contended
that persons in these days are not
nearly as happy as those Of half cen.
fury ago. The other day he came into
town from his country home nearby,
relates an exchange, and stopping at
his sons home was entertained by his
daughter-in-law with music on the
photograph. Knowing his fondness for
old religious music, the daughter-in-
law put on the records containing old
time hymns sung by the worlds great
artists Of song. The old man was
plainly thrilled and sat in rapt atten-
ton as he heard his old favorites sung
with such sympathy and meaning as
he never had heard them sung in real
life. At the conclusion of what she
called her sacred concert" the young
woman asked, "Well, father, weren't
those old hymns sung as beautifully as
you have ever heard them in the old
days?"
Emmy, they mightn't be so bad"
he reluctantly conceded, elf that
Madam Human Shank or whatever you
call her, had only broke down on the
top notes like they used to in church,
most always, and somebOdy'd only said
amen right out loud when they got
through singin'."

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 in
famed condition of the mucous lining Of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
tnfamed you have a rum bling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition. hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases Of
deafness are caused by catarrh. which is
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine. Cir

TWO DRAFT EVADERS CAUGHT.
ST. JOhnsbury Boy in Essex County
Woods. Newport Native in
Canada.

ErneSC H.. COX OF st. JOhnSbury,
who was drafted for military service
a few weeks ago and then suddenly
disappeared, has arrived at Camp
his call to report he took his gun and
plenty of ammunition and went into
the woods in the vicinity of Concord
and Victory where he planned to stay
until the war was over.
He probably would still be there if
it had not been for the fact that his
mother died at her home in Lyndon
and he came out of the forests and
went home. Here his brothers and
sisters explained the draft situation
to him and pleaded with him to re-
port. When he thoroughly under
stood the situation he came to police
headquarters at St. Johnsbury and
gave himself up.
He is a crack rife shot and can
cut rope in two as far as he can see
it, it is said. He said he could have
easily lived in the woods indefinitely
plenty of meat to eat and get plenty
of fur to keep him clothed, winter or
summer.
He was allowed to go to his moth
er's funeral and was then taken to
Camp Devens by Chief of Police Fin
| ley.
Earl G.. Calhoun, Vermont boy,
born in Newport, but for number of
years a resident of Fitchburg, Mass,
was apprehended at Joliet, Can, and
brought to Rouses Point where he
was turned over by the United States
deputy marshal to Inspector P. J.
Cooley of Fitchburg, who was detail
ed to get Calhoun. The young man
is wanted for evading the draft. He
registered at Fitchburg a year ago
in June but failed to file his ques-
tionnaire and shortly afterward went
to Canada, where he got employment
as fireman on the Grand Trunk rail-
road.
His failure to respond to the call
of the United States for war service
started the wheels of justice in mo-
ton and Inspector Cooley, who is on
special duty with the local board of
exemption at Fitchburg, was detailed
to follow the case.
A lot of correspondence passed be-
tween officials of both governments
before it was possible to apprehend
Calhoun, but the red tape was finally
unWound and the man was arrested
as he returned from his run on the
railroad at Juliet.
Calhoun is husky, good-looking
fellow, six feet one inch tall and
broad in proportion. He is a pacifist
in spirit and it is said made his boast
that the government wouldn't get
him.
| Calhoun will be turned over fol
hearing before the United States dis
trict court at Boston as the nearest
court of authority. He says he doesn't
know much about his parents having
left home a long time ago.
