Deafness Cannot be Cured
by loom applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in-
flamed condition of the mucous lininq of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets renamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect heariua,
and when it m enUrely closed deafness is the re-
sult, and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal condi-
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
eases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed conditmn of the mu-
cous ~urfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. teend for cir-
culars, free.

Jacob M. Schuekers, whose death was
recorded last week, was one of the early[
settlers in Saguache county. He cameI
more than 30 yaars ago and was at the~
time of his death about 75 years of age. !
He was a native of Pennsylvania and It!
is not known at this time what relatives
he has in that state. Mr. Schuckers for
years lived in Schuckers gulch and had
quite a large herd of horses. As he got
quite feeble he disposed of his stock and
for the past five or six years made his
home in town. He prospected whenever
his health would permit and only a
couple of weeks before his death was
prospecting in the Klondike camp. He
left a small estate. Burial was made in
the Saguache cemetery on Thursday
afternoon.

What Is Sense For the Goose.
The groom entered alone and said
confidentially, "Do you use the word
'obey' in your marriage service, Mr.
"No," said the minister; "I do not,
usually."
"Well," said the expectant Benedict,
"I have come to ask you to marry me
now, and I want it used."
"Certainly," replied the other. "It
shall be done," and presently the cou-
ple stood solemnly before him. "James
T~," said the clergyman, "do you
take this woman to be your wedded
wife? .... I do." "Do you solemnly
promise to love, honor and obey her so
long as you both shall live?" Horror
and rebellion struggled with the sanc-
tities of the occasion on the bride-
groom's face, but he chokingly respond.
ed, "I do," and the meek bride deco-
rously promised in her turn.
After the ceremony was over the
bridegroom said excitedly aside to the
grave minister: "You misunderstood
me, sir; you misunderstood reel I re-
ferred to the woman's promising to
obey." "Ah, did you, indeed?" serene-
ly answered his reverence. "But I
think what is good for one side is good
for the other, don't you? And, my
friend, it is my advice to you to say
nothing more about it, for, as an old
married man, I can tell you you'll have
to obey anyhow!"--Woman's Journal.
Roll a Pumpkin.
The key. John Haynes was famous
for his pithy sayings. At one time,
says one of our exchanges, he over-
heard his daughter and some young
friends criticising certain neighbors
more severely than was pleasing to
him, whereupon he proceeded to read
them a lecture on the sinfulness of
scandal.
"But, father," remonstrated his
daughter, "we must say something"
"If you can do nothing better," re-
torted Mr. Haynes dryly, "get a pump-
kin and roll it about. That will be at
least an innocent diversion."
Not long afterward a conference of
ministers met at his house. During
the evening an earnest discussion on
certain points of doctrine arose, and,
from the lofty pitch of some of the
voices, it seemed as if part of the dis-
putants at least were in danger of los-
ing their temper.
At that juncture Mr. Haynes' daugh.
ter quietly entered the room, bearing a
huge pumpkin. She put it down in
front of her father and said: "There,
father, roll it about. Roll it about."
Mr. Haynes was called upon for an
explanation, and good humor was re-
stored.
Knew ~heF Were Americana.
A compliment and a slur in the came
breath are in a letter I received from
a Washington girl in Paris.
"We were dining at Joseph's the oth-
er night," she writes, "when a delight-
fully dressed woman slttlng at a table
near with a party of three sent one of
the men with her to ask father If we
were not Americans. She seemed to
be saying 'I told you so' to her friends,
and as we came out she stopped me in
the corridor to explain her odd pro-
seeding. She was politeness itself.
" 'Mademoiselle will pardon me,' she
said with the most charming accent,
'but It was a wager. I have wagered
my husband that 'we shall see 50
Americans this evening. It is now 35
we have seen, and Mme. B., who is
with ns, would not believe you were
Americans. Main, I was sure--surer
" 'Why were you e0 sure of it?' I ask-
ed.
"Madame flashed a dazzling smile at
me.
" 'Oh!' she said, 'the Americans have
always the voices of the worst and the
manners at table of the very, very
best. I was aural'" -- Washington
Post.
Largest of Anlmala.
Mr. Beddard in hls book ou whales
reminds readers that although imagi-
nation Is apt to picture the giant rep.
tiles of the Jurassic and cretaceous
)eriods as havlng exceeded in size all
modern auimals yet in fact there is no
evidence that the earth has ever con-
tained either on the laud or in the seu
creatures exceeding the whale iu bulk.
The mammoth was larger than the ele-
phant, but the Ichthyosaurus could not
match the whale for size, although
with Its terrible Jaws it would doubt-
less have been the whale's master.

In grading up some examination
papers, County ,~upt. Palmer, came
across the following in a set of 8th grade
papers. The questions were u to the
duties of public offioiah and the answer
as to the corouor's duties is too good to
pass by:
"The coroner's duty is to inquire into
the death of anyone who dies without a
doctor, beoauea when there ie a doctor it
is known what caused the death, but if
there is no doctor it might be that he
was murderea."
