one day last week by tho S. P.

they denied doing these things, it

Through the legislative accumulation of many years, and the in
evitable changes of public sentiment, since the adoption of the con

of needless detail, repetition, redundancy, which tend to conceal the
elemental principles of our fundamental law, and render clarification

SOME fellow came and swiped my cow. while I was fast asleep,
but sorrow does not crease my brow, I do not wail and weep.
And if I wept and wailed tit all it is because I'm siek to think a,
fellow has the gall to play so punk a trick. For it is plain his heart
is wrong, his conscience is a fake; his life will be ho grand sweet
song, but just one long drawn ache. He'll skulk about his native
land, a haunted moral wreck, in fear that some policeman's hand
will grasp him by the neck. He'll drift along from crime to
crime, instead of earning kale, and when ho isn't serving' time,
he'll be out on bail. And so I don't denounce or hate the boob
who pinched my cow; I merely pity such a skate, and mourn his
future now. When any person docs me harm, at first my words
are grim; I say I'd give an upland farm to even things with him.
If I could meet him face, to face, with ardor I maintain, I'd strew
his remnants o'er the place like leaves upon tho plain. But -when
my royal wrath has cooled, and I have ceased to cuss, I soon regret
the things I drooled, and all my foolish fuss. A punishment se
vere and strong is sure as things can be to hit the man who's doing
wrong but 'twill not come from me.

To Relieve Catarrh,
Catarrhal Deafness
and Head Noises
: Persons suffering .from- catarrhal
deafness, or whq are growing hard of
hearing and have hoad noises will be
fflacl to- know rthat this distressing
affliction can usually bo successfully
treated at homo, by an internal medi
cine that in many instances has ef
fected complete relief after other
treatments have failed. Sufferers
who could scarcely hear have had
thoir hearing restored to such an ex
tent that the tick of a watch was
plainly audible seven or eight inches
away from either ear. Therefore, if
you know of someone who is troubled
with head noises or catarrhal deafness
cut out this formula and hand it to
them and you may havo been the
means of saving some poor sufforer
perhaps from total deafness. The
prescription can bo prepared at home,
and is mado as follows:
Secure from your druggist 1 oz. Tar
mlnt (Double Strength.) Take this
home and add to it lA pint of hot
water and a little granulated sugar;
mil until dissolved. Tako one table-
spoonful four times a day.
Par mi nt is used in this way not only
to reduco by tonic action tho in f ani
mation and swelling In the Eustach
ian Tubes, and thus to equalize the
air pressure on tho drum, but to cor
rect any excess of secretions in tho
mid dio ear, and tho results it gives
are nearly always quick and effective.
Every person, who has catarrh' in
any form, or distressing rumbling,
hissing sounds in their ears, should
give this recipe a trial. Adv.
