Bonie discussion bought a pound of
dates, two pounds of glnfcersnups and
two pounds of crut-kurs.
"Stopping ut MIhk Gray's?" Inquired
the clerk, as ho tied up the bundles.
"Yes," suld one of the young women,
with evident surprise.
"Came about yesterday forenoon?"
said the clerk.
"How did you know?" asked the oth

"Urn. Well, I can most generally
tell," said the clerk, without glanctng

lie twitched a knot In the string. "You
see, It's pretty drizzly and muddy to
day, and I knew there wouldn't be any

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. '1 here is only one
way to cure deatuess, and that in by constitu
tional remedies, liealnesa la caused bv an In
flamed condition of the mucouii lining of the
Eustachian Tube. W hen this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unions the Inllammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
Dine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inllamed condition oi
Ihe-mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
Dot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Bend for

Fallacr Abont Jeweler.
Jewelers, when watches are with
them for repairs, are frequently Insult
ed with the remak :
"I trust there is no danger of crys
tals being substituted for the Jewels in
the works of my watch,"
For a great many persons think there
are dishonest jewelers who make a
practice, with "full-jeweled" watches,
of substituting crystals for the Jewels
at an enormous profit
As a matter of fact there Is no truth
In this suspicion. A Jeweler, no matter
how dishonest, could not steal the Jew
els in a watch, for they are valueless;
they only cost 10 cents apiece.
In antique watches the Jewels were
often costly. In modern watches they
are never worth more than $15 a gross.

suddenly remembered the way slio had
been tensing him before the taller ar

her. So he pointed a chubby finger
nt tlm door and said, "My rugT"'' 1
Auntie at once caught the spirit of
the thing and cried emphutlcally, "No,
my rug!" ' ; .
"My dross," said her little nephew,
pointing to auntie's gown.
"No, my dress," replied auntie, de

Planting; Corn In Panama.
"Anyone who is willing to work can
get rich In the Itepubllc of Panama,"
said Dlllwynn M. Hazlett to a Kansas
City Journal writer. "It costs 10 cents
a bunch to raise bananas and there is
always sale for them at 30 cents a
bunch. Three crops of corn can be
raised a year and no cultivation is re
quired. A man walks along and drops
the corn In the footprints he makes
and a native follows and covers the
corn with his big toe. That Is all there
Is to do until It is time to gather It"
Rooms Named for States.
"In a little town in the backwoods of
Mississippi," remarked a traveling
man, "there Is a peculiar hotel. It is
just like any other hotel except In the
way the rooms are named. They are
not numbered, as is generally done, but
each room Is named for a State, of the
United States. When I stopped at the
place I was assigned to a room called
'Delaware.' It was correctly named,
too, for It was one of the smallest
rooms In the house. The man who was
occupying 'New Hampshire' made com
plaint to the landlord that the man In
'Maine' was drunk and boisterous and
thus keeping him awake. This seemed
strange when we recall that Maine is
a prohibition State. Two men up In
'Montana' were keeping up the repu
tation of the wild West by engaging in
a nlosy poker game. A big, fat capi
talist had 'New York,' which was the
best room In the house. The room
named for Alabama is too ordinary for
anything, and a farmer was occupying
It the night I was there. It was funny
to' stand In the office and hear a bell
boy tell the clerk that towels were
wanted in 'Iowa' and that the fellow
in 'North Dakota' was kicking like a
steer because he had no fire, 'Be sure
to call the man in "Florida" at 5
o'clock in the morning,' said one of the
employes. And thus It went. This
hotel is a curiosity to the traveling
public. It Is conducted by an eccentric
old fellow, but where he conceived the
Idea of naming rooms after States I do
not know." Birmingham Age-Herald.
Home Grown Tea. .
This year 12,000 pounds of choice
tea will be shipped from what is at
present the only tea farm In the West
ern Hemisphere. This farm Is at Som

that at times seemed Insurmountable,
but on the other hand with the kindly
assistance of the United States gov
ernment, the Somervllle tea farm has
grown to a point where It can offer
serious competition with the best
grades of tea shipped from China, In
dia, Formosa or Java. But, above all,
it has been demonstrated that barring
the question of labor, the finest tea can
be successfully grown at home. Tech

"Seven years ago
I was suffering very
much through the

the uric acid from
my system. My
back was very lame
and ached if I over
exerted myself in the least degree. At
times I was weighed down with a feel
ing of languor and depression and suf
fered continually from annoving irregu

I procured a box of Doan's Kidney

I had taken three boxes I was cured of
