Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications as they cannot rcacli
the Alseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness,
anA that !b by a constitutional remedy.
HALL'S CATAItftH MEDICINE acts
through tho Blood on the Mucous Surfaces
of tho System. Catarrhal Deafness Is
ewused by an Inflamed condition of the
'.Mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube Is Inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing, and
when ltls entirely closed. Deafness Is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re
duced and this tubo restored to Its nor
mal condition, hearing may bo destroyed
forever. Many cases of Deafness are
caused by Catarrh, -which Is an Inflamed

A Physical Wreck From Kidney
Trouble, But DOAN'S
Made Her Well.
"Kidney trouble made a complete
wreck of me," says Mrs. Wm. Harvey,
021 N. Eighth St., Grants Pass, Ore.
"I was so despondent and miserable it
seemed I had nothing left to live for.
Death would have been a welcome re
lief. For six months
I was in bed and
never expected to
leave it alive. I was
too weak to move
without the iielp of
my nurse and so
nervous I Bcreamed
when she touched
me. My back and
head hurt like a
throbbing tooth
ache. I had awful
dizzy Hpells, my eye
sight failed, my

dead. I was pain- f
racked all over. The kidney secretions
looked like thick, black coffee and
burned terribly. They almost stopped
passing and then my feet bloated like
bags of water. I was frantic with pain,
and thought I would lose my reason.
"I had lost all faith in medicine and
tried Doan's Kidney PUls only be
cause a dear friend asked me. Right
from the start I began to feel better.
Doan's cured me."

Nathaniel Haw
thorne, American
writer, was born
In Salem, Mass.,
July 4, 1804. His
earliest boyhood
days wcro spent
In Salem, but when
he was 14 years
old, tho family
moved to Mhlne.
Hero the young
lad continued the
solitary walks of
which ho was bo
fond, but In tho
wlldcrness.lnstead
of the narrow
streets of Salem.
Even at this early
date ho had acquired a. taste for writ
ing, and carried a little blank book
In which he jotted down his notes.
After a year In Maine, Hawthorne
returned to Salem to nrenare for col
lege. Ho amused himself by publishing'
a manuscript periodical, and at times
speculated upon the profession he
would follow In the future.
For some years Hawthorno lived In
Concord, Mass., In tho old Manse, and
wrote "Mosses from an Old Manse,"
"Twice Told Tales" and "Grandfather's
Chair." He Joined the Brook Farm
colony at West Hoxbury, but found
that the conditions there suited neither
his taBte nor his temperament, and he
remained but one year.
While serving as surveyor of cus
toms at Salem he found among some
old papers a largo letter "A" embroid
ered on red cloth, and speculating upon
the origin and history of the letter, his
Imagination was so stirred, that upon
his retirement from office he wrote
"The Scarlet Letter."
Some other stories of Hawthorno aro
"The Bllthedale Romance." "Tho Won
der Book," "The Snow Image," "Sep
timus Felton" and "The Dolllver Ro
mance" were left unfinished at the au
thor's death. He died at Plymouth,
N. H., on the 19th of May. 1864. and
five days later was burled at Sleepy
Hollow, a beautiful cemetery at Con
cord where he used to walk under the
pines when living at the old Manse.
Over his grave Is a simple stono. In
scribed with the single word, "Haw
thorne." ""VNE summer morning over two
centuries ago the grass plot be--
fore tho Jnll in Prison Lnnc
wu8 occupied by many of tho Inhabi
tants of Boston. The door opened and
tho town beadle appeared followed by
a young woman carrying a baby about
three months old. On the breast of
her gown, In red cloth, appeared the
letter A, and It was thnt scarlet letter
which drew nil eyes toward her.
The place appointed for her punish
ment was not far from the prison door,
and in spite of the agony of her heart,
Hester Prynne passed with almost a
serene deportment to the scaffold
where the pillory was set up, and un
der the weight of a thousand unre
lenting eyes the unhappy, prisoner sus
tained herself as best a woman might.
A email, Intelligent appearing man,"
on the outskirts of the crowd attracted
Hester's attention, and he In his turn
eyed her till, seeing that she seemed
to recognize him, he laid his finger on
his lips.
Then, speaking to n townsmnn he
said, "I pray you, good sir who Is this
woman, and wherefore Is she set up to
public shame?"
"You must needs bo a stranger,
friend," said the townsman, "else you
would have heard of Mistress Hester
Prynnc. She hath raised a scandal
In godly Master Dlmmesdale's church.
The punulty thereof Is Tjeath, but the
magistracy In their mercy, have
doomed her to stand a, space of three
hours on the platform of the pillory,
and for the remainder of her life to
wear n mark of shame In her bosom."
"A wise sentence I" remarked tho
slninger. "It Irks me, nevertheless,
thnt tho partner of her Iniquity should
not at least stand by her side. But he
will be known he will be known 1"
Itev. Mr. DImmesdale. a young min
ister of high native gifts, who had al
ready wide eminence in his profes
sion, was urged to exhort Hester to re
pentance and confession. Addressing
her, he advised that she name her fel
low sinner even If he hud to step from
n high position to stand beside her,
for It was better bo thun to hide a
guilty heart through life.
Hester shook her head, keeping her
place upon the pedestal of shame with
an air of weary Indifference.
That night her child writhed In con
vulsions, and a physician, Mr. Iloger
Chllllngworth, none other than tho
stranger Hester hud noticed In the
crowd, was called. Having eased the
baby's pain he turned and sold : "Hes
ter, I nsk not wherefore thou hast
fallen Into the pit. It wus my folly
and thy weakness. What had I a
man of thought to do with youth and
beauty like thine? I might have known
thnt in my long absence this would
happen."
"I huve greatly wronged thee," mur
mured Hester.
"Wo have wronged each other," he
answered. "Hut I shull seek this inun
whose nume thou wilt not reveal, and
sooner or later ho must b mine. I
shull contrive nothing ngalnst his 11 fo.
Let him live. One thing, tnou thnt wast
my wife, I ask. Thou hast kept his
name secret. Keep likewise, mine. Let
thy husband bo to tho world as one al
ready dead, und breathe not the secret,
ubove nil to the man thou wottext of,"
"I will keep thy newel us I huve his."
Freed from prison Hester did not
flee, but established herself In n small
cottage Just outside tho town, Incur
ring no risk of wont for she possessed
the art of needlework, which provided
food for herself and child. She had
named the little one "Pearl," as being
of grent price, and little Pearl grew up
a lovely child. Pcoplo wished to take
her away and the tnnttcr was dis
cussed In the mother's presence by
Governor Belllnghnm and his guests
Itev. John Wilson, ltev. Mr. Dimmest
dale, and Dr. Chllllngworth.
"God gave mo the child l" cried Hes
ter, and turning to the young clergy
man, Mr. DImmesdale, she exclaimed,
"Speak thou for me. Thou wnst my
pastor. Thou knowest what Is In my
henrt and what are a mother's rights,
and how much tho stronger they are
when that mother lms but her child
and the scarlet letter 1 I will not loose
the child I Look to It!"
"There Is truth In what she says,"
began the minister. "There Is n qual
ity of nwful snercdness between this
mother and this child. It Is good for
this poor sinful woman that she lmth
an infant confided to her cart to be
trained by her to righteousness. Let
us leave them as providence hnth seen
lit to place them J"
'Toil speak, my friend, with n
strange earnestness," said Roger Chll
llngworth, smiling at him.
"He hnth adduced such arguments
that wo will leave the matter as It
stands," said the governor. Tho af
fair being so satisfactorily concluded,
Hester and Pearl departed.
Itev. Mr. Dlmmesdale's health fall
ing he consulted Dr. Chllllngworth.
Taking him as a patient, the doctor de
cided to know the man's Inmost ntituro
before trying to heal him. Arrange
ments were made for tho two men to
lodge together so that he might be con
stantly under the doctor's observation.
As Doctor Chllllngworth proceeded
with his Investigation, begun as he
imagined with the Integrity of a Judgo
desirous only of truth, a terrible fas
cination seized him and Insisted that
he do Its bidding. Ho now dug Into
the poor clergyman's heart, like a
miner seeking gold ; and Mr. DImmes
dale grew to look at him with an un
accountable horror.
Often Mr. DImmesdale tried to
speak the truth of his past from tho
pulpit but had choatcjl himself by
confessing his sinfulness In general
terms. Once. Indulging in tho mockery
of repentance, he mounted tho scaffold
where nester had stood. There wns"
no danger of discovery for everyone
wns asleep. Even so he was surprised
by Hester and Pearl, returning from
a death bed In the town, and pres
ently by Itoger Chllllngworth.
"Who Is that man?" gasped Mr.
DImmesdale, in terror. "I shiver at
him, Hester. Canst thou do nothing
for me? I have a nameless horror of
tho man."
Iteinembcrlng her promise, Hester
was silent.
"Worthy sir," said .the doctor, ad
vancing to tho platform, "pious Mas
ter DImmesdale I Can this bo you?
Come, good sir, I pray you, let me lead
you home I You should study less, or
these night-whimsies will grow upon
you."
Hester now resolved to do what
jyhe could for the victim whom she snw
in her former husband's grip. Ono
day she met the old doctor In the
woods seeking herbs and Implored him
to be merciful, saying that she must
now reveal the secret of their former
relationship no matter what befell.
A week later Hester awaited tho
clergymun In the forest and told him
ubout Itoger Chllllngworth and their
relationship, bidding him hope for a
new life beyond tho sea in some rural
village.
"Thou shult not go alone," she whis
pered. Arthur Dlmmesdnle attained tho
proudest eminence a New England
clergyman could reach. He had
preached the election sermon on tho
holiday celebrating the election of a
new governor.
Hester had taken berths to Eng
land, and on the holiday the shipmas
ter informed her that Itoger Chllllng
worth had booked passuge on tho snmo
vessel ; saying nothing, she turned and
stood by the pillory with Pearl.
Tho minister, surrounded by leading
townsmen, halted ot the scaffold and
calling Hester and Pearl to him mount
ed the scnffold steps. Telling Hester
he was n dying man and must hnHtcn
to assume his shame, he turned to tho
murket-plnce and spoke with a. voice
that all could hear.
"People of New England I At last, at
last I stand where seven years since I
should have stood. Lo, the scarlet let
ter which Hester wears I Yo have all
shuddered at It I But there stood one
in the midst of you, at whose brand of
sin ye have not shuddered,"
Wltli a convulsive motion he tore
away the ministerial gown from his
breast. It wns revealed! Then sink
ing down on tho scaffold he died, his
head resting on Hester's bosom.
Afterwards, conflicting accounts
arose about the scene on the scaffold.
Many testified to seeing a scarlet let
ter on the minister's, bosom, while oth
ers denied It, saying thut Dlnimesdule's
confession implied no pnrt of Hester's
guilt.
Iloger Chllllngworth died, bequeath
ing his property to Pearl.
Hester and Pearl lived In Englund
for years, then, Pearl marrying, Hester
returned alone to the Httlo dwelling
by the forest.

The False and the True.
Advertising by tho use of large space, the expenditure of httge sum
of money hare placed on the market, have put in your homo, perhaps,
many articles that today have been discarded, aa you will readily admit.
Do you recall anything that has more modestly appealed to the
public than has Fletcher's Castoria: modest in all Its claims, pleading
at aU times and truthfully for our babies ?
The big splurg, the misleading claims may win for a time, but
the honest truth-telling advertiser is like the eld story ef the tortoise
that beat the hare.
Mothers everywhere, and their daughters, bow mothers, speak
frankly, glowingly, enthusiastically in praise of Fletcher's Castoria.
Speak of it lovingly as a friend that has brought comfort, cheer and
smiles to their little-one.
, There are substitutes and imitations as there are for the diamond,
for anything of value. One might almost say that that which m not
copied has no value. So you have had the signature of Chas. H.
Fletcher and a copy of the genuine wrapper kept constantly before
you that you may guard against the falso and tho untrue.
