In one of the big stares the other after -loan
a stoop shouldered man -with a
faded "faro v, n beard-was clawing over the
hats and trying them on, one after an
other, -withont appearing to find any to

""What size are you looking for?" ask
ed one of the salesmen.
""What size!" he said. "Something
kin -wear, I reckon."
"Of course, but "what's your num

hats 'fore this. Xou go on waltin on
customers. I'll find -what I'm lookin fur
after awhile. I've got plenty of time. "
"So hare X Time is nothing to me. I
can stand here all day and -watch you
trying on hats, but it isn't necessary. If
you can tell me -what size of hat you
wear. I can give you half a dozen of
that size to try on. It -will save you
some trouble, and won't be quite so
hard on the assortment. "
The customer reflected.
"WelL that's reasonable," he said.
"Young man, I might as -well tell you
the truth. I've clean forgot the size hat
I -wear. I never can remember it. I
know I wear a !Nb. 9 shoe, though. A

The Crtrar, the reasaat and the Cadi.
Once upon a time the villager went
to the cadi and complained :
"O wise man, I would be protected
against the crow. Out of every five frills
of corn I plant he digs up at least one. "
"Take a chair and I will inquire in
to the matter, " replied the cadi, and
having sent for the crow he inquired:
"Is it true that you rob this villager
of his newly planted corn?"
"I have taken of his corn, O cadi, "
replied the crow, "but instead of com
plaining he ought to feel grateful. "
"How's that?"
""Why, by reducing his crop one-fifth
I have reduced his labors in the same
proportion."
"That's pretty good philosophy,"
said the cadi as he picked the grass out
of his venerable goatee, "and I will ad
vise the villager to act on it. Let him
bring out his gun and shoot one crow
out of every five and his corn will no
longer be disturbed:"

"Mr. Geraint, the novrlist, took me

Thcc-ht Be Ixst His Head.
A few days since a gentleman, while
taking a ride with his groom, had the
misfortune to have himself and com
panion thrown violently to the ground
by his horse faking fright and running
away. The gentleman was not seriously
injured, his principal less being that of
his wig, which had been shaken off,
but he found Pat in a much worse con
dition, with the blood "trickling from
his head and holding his master's wig,
which he was surveying with the ut
most alarm and horror. "Well, Pat,"
said his master, "are you much hurt?"
"Hurt is it? Oh, master, do you see
the top of my head in my hand?"
Pat in his terror and confusion had
mistaken his master's wig for his own
natural scalp, and evidently thought
that his last hour had arrived. London

Known by Hia "Walk.
A tutor of one of the Oxford colleges
who limped in his walk was some years
ago accosted bya well known politician,
who asked him if he was not the chap
lain of the college at such a time, nam
ing the year. The doctor said he was.
The interrogator observed, "I knew you
by your limp. " "Well, " said the dec
tor, "it seemed my limping made a
deeper impression than my preaching. "
"Ah, doctor," was the reply, with
ready wit, "it is the highest compli
ment we can pay a minister to say that
he is known by his walk rather than by
his conversation. " St. Louis Star.

its circulation by printing its news,
not on paper, but on cloth. Instead of
ink a composition is used which readily
dissolves in a liberal water bath. After
absorbing the news the reader merely
places the sheet under one of the public

THTHOrT A LICENSE.
Nowadays all that is required to get
married is a "he" and a "she" and the
necessary license. Any one authorized
by law can splice them without a ques
tion as to who or what they arc, wheth
er they possess anything or by what
means they intend to support themselves
or their children. That is the exact sit
uation. These matters are none of the
officiating medium's business, nor is he
in a position to hinder the couple, some
times hardly cut of their teens, from
rushing straight into trouble and misery.
In times gone by things were alto
gether different and more care was tak
en, tsut then one mav ;-o too far in his
care far the well uelne: of hvmencal
candidates, as the following narrative
shall demonstrate.
In order to allay possible apprehen
sions on the part cf our fair readers
about the fate cf the hero and heroine,
and to save them the trouble to begin
this little story cf love and its trials at
the end, let it be understood right here
that in spite of seemingly insurmounta
ble difficulties they reach the matrimo
nial haven in safety.
Our tale begins cn a balmy morning
in May, ITS , such a May morning as
is seldom seen anywhere outside cf the
Rhine valleys in the Black forest.
The young and fair hostess of the rn-n
of the Front Room the famous and
most popular hostelry in the ancient
ducal borough cf E , was seated
alone in the guestroom. Her plump
figure was becomingly attired in a gown
of navy blue, profusely braided and em
broidered according to the fashion cf
the day, over which she were a black
silk arrcn. The graceful outlines of her
bust showed to perfection in a velvet
waist hung with silver chains, and on a.
sable beside her reposed a magnificent
lace cap.
No doubt the hostess sat there wait
ing for some one and had so elaborately
bedecked herself to please the expected
caller. Mistress Lisbeth this was her
name was in a brown study. She was
pondering- Her reverie led her thoughts
back to the events of the previous vear
the sudden death of her husband from
phthisis shortly after their wedding,
leaving her sole owner of the prosperous,
much frequented inn; the improving of
their opportunity by many making
open or covert proposals for her hand
and for the wealth whose possessor she
so unexpectedly had become.
Though a widow, Lisbeth was still
young and very fair to look upon, and
almost all the eligible young men of
B had done their best to capture
her heart, hand and money, and had
failed alike in alL
The truth was that she had alreadv
lost her heart. About sis months ago
the playfellow of her youth, Francois,
the sou of neighbors in her native vil
lage across the Alsatian border, had
come to B and found employment
in a butcher shop. The two had again
met, and though, under the circum
stances, it cannot be termed love at first
sight, it may have, just the same, been
something very like it.
At any rate they loved and had
agreed to get married as soon as the
year cf mourning was over, and this
was the eventful day set for making ap
plication at the city hall to have the
banns published.
At last a creaking of the door hinges
roused Lisbeth from her reverie, and
the impatiently looked for lover made
his appearance. But his countenance
was not wreathed in smiles neither did
he look like an expectant bridegroom
whose dearest wish is about to be real
ized. He frowned, and, angrily throw
ing his new beaver hat on the floor, took
a distant seat without the nleasant
words of greeting she always used to
hear from his lips.
L- fh felt deeply hurt, but said
Finally the young man, as if ashamed
of his ill mannered behavior, exclaim
ed in a fitful tone;
"Oh, Lisbeth, we can never marry!"
"2so? And, pray, why not?" she
asked. "Are you tired of me?"
"Tired of you, Lisbeth? You know
better than that. But haven't you heard
the news? The council refuses to grant
me citizen's rights and the marriage li
cense, xney are rail ox animosity to
ward you for refusing to wed one erf
their sons and far giving me, whom
they are pleased to call a stranger and a
vagabond, the preference. It is true I
am an Alsatian, but I have as good a
home as any of thtm, and it is but a
couple of hours away from here, as they
well know."
"So that is it?"
The resolute Lisbeth jumped up excit
edly, her lovely face crimson as a June
rose.
"Cornel Let us to the city hall aS I
once. "We will see about it. ZZ every
thing else fails, I think my godfather,
the abbot of E- , will mid awavts
make them pliable."
The worthy burgomaster of B and
the members of his council were assem
bled at the city hall when Lisbeth ap
peared, dragging her bashful Francois
forcibly by the fr?rnd into their august
presence.
"With your permission, mighty sirs, "
she began m her open, unhesitating
way, poking him in the ribs as a gen
tle reminder that he looked sheepish,
vithyour permission, powerful mas
ters, we appear before you to inform
you that we intend to marry, and, what
is mere, to marry as soon as possible;
wherefore we mcst humblvand dutiful
ly pray the high and mighty council ti
grant us the necessarv papers, and tc
be quick about it, fcr we have no desire
to wait any longer than absolutely
necessary. My homestead needs a mas
ter, as you all know. The
by my side, a bachelor of gocd repute
and law abiding, is mv choice, and i
better fitted for the position of host at
the inn of the Front Room than any
one else I know. He is a butcher by
traae, young and strcng, and, what ii
mere, his brother across the border, ovet
in Alsace, owes him 1,000 guilderi
Rhenish," jpart cf their father's estate,
which h& can collect in rash at any mo
ment. "Therefore. I can see. neither le-
gaily near morally, anything to be said
against my Francois, and I well whj
! make many words? I love him, and 1
want him!"
A silence fell upon the assembled
city fathers after this strange speech of
the plucky little widow. At last the
worthy btrgomaster, a member cf the
worshipful Tanners' guild, broke the
awkward pause, after deliberately help
ing himself to a plentiful supply of
snuff from a silver tabatiere a present
of "his most great and all powerful
mightiness" the reigning prince of the
land and passing the box to his col
leagues. "Highly honored friends and col
leagues, and thou, honored and virtu
ous Mistress Lisbeth, thy desire is full
of the Christian spirit of neighborly
love and according to the laws of the
land; in fact, it is reasonable yea, more
than that, it is necessary. Thou speak
est truly. Thy establishment is sorely
in need of a master's strcng arm, and
thou ueedest a husband But is it abso
lutely necessary that it should be a
stranger? Are there no young men in
our town, sons of our worthy citizens,
who are as fit to rule the destinies of
the inn of the Front Room, and thine
own as well, and who are but too will
ing to have thee fcr their lawful wife!
Explain, worthy Mistress Lisbeth. why
dost thou run after this tramp? Be ad
vised by us. Marrv one of cur voun2
men.' But shouldst thou remain stub
born and wilt not be guided by our fa
therly care for thy welfare, the conse
quences be on thy head, for I tell thee
herewith, in the name of the citizens
alL we dislike and disapprove of thy
choice.
"The inn has for long generations
been in possession of men who were citi
zens of our borough, and thus it shall
remain. Even thyself art but a stran
ger, having gained the inn by marriage.
Hence it is but just that nobody but the
son of cne of cur citizens should again
own it, and thou art herewith forbidden
to marry yon vagabond. Collectively
and individually, this council formally
protests against it, mid declines thy pe
tition. That ends it. "
Commendatory words rewarded the
burgomaster at the end of this lucid ex
patiation, and the prince's snufiboa
again made the round of the council ta
ble. Lisbeth's ire had risen fast during
this insulting speech. She began an an
gry remonstrance, but was quickly and
considerately drawn toward the dooi
and pushed out into the corridor by the
city r.essenger (who was thoughtful ol
many a free drink at her bar) before
she had a chance to further injure her
cause by angry expostulations.
2Tot so Francois, the unfortunate
groom, who had been terribly wrought
up by the expressions of "tramp" and
"vagabond" hurled at hfm. He sudden
ly sprang forward, stopped short in
front of the burgomaster, and, shaking
his fist in his face, exclaimed:
"And I say, ycu high and mighty
citizens of B , I'll marry her in
spite of you and all your thick headed
and crooked legged sons!"
The cityfathers looked aghast at such
impudence.'' The burgomaster threw his
snuffbox with such force on the table
that the dust rose in clouds from the
official documents.
'Wretch V cried he. " Wflt thou hold
thy tongue, thou ill mannered Alsatian
cur, thou vagabond? Immediately go
and pay a fine of 1 guilder Rhenish into
the city treasury for thy unparalleled
insult offered to our citizens, and if
thcu tarriest here anv lonzer I will
have thee put into the dungeon and tor
tured until thou wilt show better man
ners." This delivery was followed by gener
al applause. Francois paid his fine and
left, while the prince's snuffbox once
more went from hand to hand.
On the Saturday following the nar
rated events a cabriolet and pair, driven
by Francois, stopped infront of the lion
of the Front Boom. Lisbeth, dressed in
her best Sunday finery, appeared, smil
ing gocd humoredly, and took her seat
in the vehicle, which started off at s
brisk trot. But the trip did not remain
a secret. Somehow or other pretty soon
everybody seemed to know that iQsrress
Lisbeth had gone to see her godfather,
the abbot, to ask his interference in her
and her lover's behalf.
However, the great council was wide
awake and up to the emergency. As
early as 1 o'clock the same afternoon
the city hall bell called all the citizens,
more than 100 men, together in a mn.a;
meeting.
The burgomaster presided. In a few
concise words he explained the great
danger that threatened all landed citi
zens of B by Mistress Lisbeth's
treasonable plan, n-nd the impression he
made was so pronounced that before the
princely box had made three rounds
among the members of the council the
following petition was drawn up to the
government at D :
"Petition, Remonstrance and Protest:
a "We, the bailiff, the burgomaster,
the great and the lower councils, also
the entire citizenship of the ever loyal
city of B , herewith beg to state as
follower It is known to your high and
mighty government that about a year
ago the proprietor of the inn of the
Front Boom had suddenly died without
the help or assistance of our city and
county physicians. (Recnuescatmrjacei)
the childless: widow hg had the audaci
ty to fall in love with a goodfor noth
ing tramp and vagabond, an Alsatian,
named Francois, a low bred, ill man
nered butcher, and she actually hr
dared to ask our permission for a mar
riage with the fellow. All of which, if
it pleases your high and mighty govern
ment, is against the interests of rhic
city, where there are just 17 young and
marriageable sans af landed citizens,
every one of whom is ready and mare
than willing to be the husband of the
aforesaid widow. "We, therefore, deem
it our duty to lay before your high, no
ble and mighty government and the
learned and all powerful, wise and
highly respected councilors thU unwar
ranted, treasonable and unbecoming pro
ceeding on the part of the said widow,
and humbly ask you to interfere to send
the tramp Francois back to Alsace and
thus restore the peace and good will to
this city. j
"We subscribe ourselves, with undy-
ing loyalty, as your high and mighty
government's humble servants." j
A kind fate has kept the original of i
the above petition intact among the
archives of the "ever loyal" city, giving
proof of the sagacity, care and unselfish -neM'oTifs
citizens and council.
After the bulky document had been
dispatched quiet was restored in the
borough, and the good citizens congre
gated once more, as usual, in the guest
room of the inn, where shrewd Mistress
Lisbeth had ordered a "Metzelsuppe"
of gigantic proportions to be served dur
ing her absence, which every one bur
gomaster and council not excepted en
joyed so hugely that on the following
morning when his worship tried to help
himself to a pinch of snuff he had to
send to the inn for the princely box,
having left it there the night before
from sheer forge tfulness, of course.
It would make interesting and profit
able reading for jurists how the "high-
and all powerful" government atD
disposed of the knotty question. To our
sorrowand regret we have to disappoint
them, for history has not handed down
this important decision.
And the resolute Lisbeth and her
Francois? How did thev manase to en
ter the blissful conjugal haven?
We doubt not the abbot, her godfa
ther, was a shrewd man, who knew a
thing or two. Xbt far from the abbot's
cloister, encircled by the silverv waters
of the beautiful Rhine, there is located !
in the peaceful seclusion of the upper
Black forest country, but in Swiss terri
tory, a small onym for conclusion, and
many a lovesick couple, having vainly
tried to overcome the obstacles inter
posed by parents or suardians. has
taken refuge at the sheltering altar cf
its church, where many marriages have
been solemnized that otherwise could
not have taken place.
To this church the abbot sent his god
child, and there she and Francois were
made one, while the gcod citizens of
B were indnlsing too freelv in the
"Metzelsuppe."
All this is made evident by the entry
in the books of the city treasury of
P , stating that on July 1, ITS ,
Francois , a butcher and nronrietor
of the inn of
the Front Room, and his
lawful wife, Lisbeth, had
been fined 5
guilders Rhenish for getting married at
the Church of without having nrst
secured the consent of the council cf

the mountains cf Japan. 2Jbwhere were

Pracrioil observers rxperieBccti in the

clnded that a belt of 2 inches width and
of single thickness, running on a puHey
8 inches in diameter, represents about as
near a perfect belt transmission it is
possible to get with oak tanned leather
belting. This may seem, it is thought,
rather a favorable condition fur a belt
of such dimension to work under, has as
far as the pliability of the belt is con
cerned, it is assumed that there would
be no objection to the curvature of eight
inches, and as fcr the width, one inch

narrow and thiee inches in width some
what wide. It is argued, however, that
if the oak tanned .material will endure
all this bending action while under a
high speed and drawn up taut enough so

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications as they eanaot reach
the diseased portion oC the ear. There
is only one way to cure deafsess. and
that is by coostitntiooal remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of tbo Eus
tachian Tube. Wben this tabe ie in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed, Deafness is the result, and un
less the inhamation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con
dition, bearing will be destroyed forever:
nine cases oat of ten are caused by ca
tarrb which is nothing but an inflamed
condition f tbe mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars; free.
